SHORT STORIES
ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
Marshal L. T. Erwin received tele
graphic advices from the lower
river announcing that Judge Bunnell
would probably adjourn the court
term at Mat about August 15, by
which time it was expected all of the
lower river court business would
have been disposed of.
Stealing $17.00 from the cash
drawer and leaving only $2.45 in
nickels and dimes and two personal
checks, a burglar eritered the office
of the radio station, some time at
night, says the Juneau Empire. The
office was entered through the back
door, which was found unlocked next
morning, with the key pushed about
a foot inside the dor. The cash
drawer was opened with a jimmey.
Suffering from a rifle shot wound
in his head inflicted in an attempt to
commit suicide, Henry Carlson, the
watchman on one of the Hoonah
Packing Company traps, was brought
to Juneau recently and is now in the
Dawes hospital, where he is receiv
ing medical treatment. Carlson, it
is said, was perfectly rational until
he received a letter recently which, it
is thought, contained bad news. Fol
lowing the receipt of the letter, Mr.
Carlson began to act queerlv, accord
ing to those associated with him in
his work, and Saturday he attempted
to take his life. The bullet en
tered his head near his jaw bone and
made a clean wound through his
head.
Ye Sing and Thing Ton, employed
by the Auk Bay Salmon Cannery and
the Tee Harbor Packing Company
respectively, were drowned near
Spuhn island in Auk bay recently.
According to word sent to Juneau
by L. J. Carlson, secretary of the Auk
Bay Salmon Canning Company, the
two Chinamen, in company with
George Len Sue, another Chinaman,
left in a small boat propelled by an
Evinrude engine about 7 o’clock at
night. George Len Sue, who sur
vived, said they struck a rock near
Spuhn island about 8 o’clock that night
and were wrecked. He was able to
swim a little and was able to stay
afloat until help arrived in answer to
his calls. He was brought into Auk
bay by the Spuhn island settler who
rescued him. The other men were
unable to swim.
Word brought to Juneau by H. L.
Simonds, manager of the Hoonah
Packing Company, and his guests,
who have just made a tour of the
traps of his company on lower Chat
ham strait, and some of the canneries
in that section, is that the fish have
been running better the last few days
; ashington Bay and other canneries
than previously. The Gambier Bay,
Washington Bay and other canner
ies are working. Similar word was
brought from lower Chatham strait.
However the salmon pack of this sec
tion of Alaska is only about 50 per
cent of the average that has been ob
tained the first of August for the last
several years. None of the canneries
are getting a full pack. Word from
Ketchikan, the Alaskan peninsula,
and Bristol bay districts is also dis
appointing to the packers. It is said
the Yakutat bay pack is good.
Crazed, it is thought, by threats

made by fish pirates to shoot him and
by religious fanaticism, Carl Meldahl
watchman on one of the traps of the
George T. Myers Company on Tena
kee Inlet, evaded men that were
watching him and ran into the woods
near the company’s cannery at Sitkoh
bay nearly two weeks ago, according
to word brought to Juneau. Search
ing parties which scoured the sur
rounding country were unable to find
any trace of him. Meldah was first
thought to be out of his mind when
he was found walking up and down
the beach near the trap he was watch
ing, saying that the pirates were go
ing to get him. He was taken in
charge and brought to the cannery
at Sitkoh bay. Later, as they were
about to leave to give Meldahl medi
cal attention, he was left alone for
about five minutes, and during that ■
time escaped into the woods. The
man was a religious fanatic and be
lieved that his end had come and that
nothing could save him. Meldahl is
survived by a wife and five grown
children.
