G. W. BRANNAR, JUNEAU RESI
DENT DIES FROM INJURIES
RECEIVED FROM FALL
(Juneau Empire)
G. W. Brannar, goat hunter an-1 fish
man, aged about thirty years, fell
about 125 feet on a hill at Ford’s Ter
ror in Tracy Arm last week and suf
fered injuries from which he died the
: next morning. Llis body was brought
to Juneau by his two companions, Tom
j Miitanen and Karl Kavander and is be
! ing held at C. W. Young’s Undertaking
Parlor.
Brannar and his companions had
been engaged for several weeks in cap
turnig mountain goats under a con
tract with the Territory for placing on
Baranof and Chichagof islands. They
recently landed seven at Sitka. They
returned to the vicinity oi bum Hum
about three weeks ago to continue the
work. Early Thursday morning, Bran
ner and Kavander started up a hill on
the shore of Ford’s Terror to attempt
to capture four goats seen from their
boat. Brannar’s ice creepers; clogged
with soft snow ami moss, slipped over
a rocky surface. Unable to regain his
footing, he slid about 125 feet to the
bottom of a ravine. In his descent
he passed over two small abrupt drops
one of about three feet and the other
of about five feet. The rest of the fall
was said to have been over level and
smooth surface. Miitoenn saw the fall
and said it seemed impossible for it
to have been serious. Kavander, im
mediately worked his way down to the
injured man and found him unable to
proceed. He called Miitanen and the
two companions got Brannar aboard
the boat. The injured man spoke only
once when he was picked up. When
Kavander attempted to wipe some
blood from a cut in his head, Brannar
said “Let me alone.” He was put in
a bunk on the boat and seemed to be
resting in comfort. About two a. m.
the next day he died without having
spoke a word.
An examination of Brannar’s injur
ies showed he had suffered a depressed
fracture of the skull over the right
eye and severe bruises about the body
and to have sprained an ankle. Death,
it was said, probably resulted from a
general shock from the fall.

Story of Robbery
Proves to be Hoax
CHICAGO, April 8—Fred Maunier
told the Woodlawn police he had made
a little mistake. They were glad to
i hear it.
His error, he said, was in reporting
that he had been “held up twice in fif
| teen minutes by the same group of
three robbers.
It was an interesting story at the
time. He said he was on his way home
v. hen he first met the robebrs and they
: relieved him of $500. Then he said he
| walked along until he met them again
! and gave up his watch.
But now he admits the story was not
entirely true. He did walk home, he
1 insists, but the truth is he didn’t meet
any robbers at all and therefore was
' not robbed.
The police questioned him for quite |
a while before he admitted the error.!
He is married.
j The gasboat Gladstone, belonging to
1 Chas. Tecklenberg, arrived in port
! Monday, reporting a very stormy trip
to the halibut banks. While 150 miles j
out from Seward the gale hit her, icing
down the decks, the waves at times j
coming clear trough the pilot house.
Heavy seas washed away the gear,
breaking up a dory and doing damage
in general.
