L. J. Chilberg, U. S. Customs of
ficer, arrived in Seward Saturday,
accompanied by Mrs. Chilberg and ;
small daughter, to take over the !
local office of the department, suc
ceeding Mr. Abrams who has been

For the last five years Mr. Chil
berg. a member of the prominent j
pioneer Seattle family of that \
name, has been in charge of the ;
Ketchikan office and in the re
cent general shifting about of the
Alaska personnel, was transferred
here.
The Chilbergs, a charming
voung couple, are very much im
pressed with Seward, particular
ly with the beautiful scenics and
are certain they will appreciate
highly their residence here; es
pecially so because already they
have met many former friends
and acqaintances.
Yesterday was a busy day for
them, what with moving into an
apartment in the Arcade Building,
getting their belongings unpack
ed. etc; still they found time to
take a ride in their roadster out
the highway as far as prudence
renrits at this season of the
year.
In behalf of the citizens of Sew
ard. the Gateway extends to the
new arrivals a royal welcome.
Late Saturday a telephone mes
sage was received at the U. S.
Marshal’s office of the apparent
death by drowning of John Bow- ;
man, very well known here in
Seward, in the waters of Kenai
Lake.
Other reports which have since
reached the city are rather con
fusing but the circumstances sur
rounding the case seems to be
these:
Martin Mitchell reported he had
I found Mr. Bowman’s blankets and
isled near a hole in the ice; another
! report was that Bowman’s partner
saw him go thru the ice and en
deavored to rescue him but failed.
Thus far the body has not been re
covered.
Mr. Bowman was about 65 years
| old and had been cutting ties near
where he is alleged to have lost his
i life, opposite Mile 20 from the
! Alaska Railroad, on this side of
I the lake and near where he had
; his camp.
! T. F. Murphy, local resident, is
I back from a short visit to Valdez
where he responded to a call for
ijury duty.
