MAN DROWNED
FROM THE ARCTIC
A picsistent rumor is going
the rounds this morning that a
fireman by the name of Axel
Clausen fell from the Arctic
la<t night and was drowned. It
seems that Clausen and an
other one of the crew started
to board the boat as she was
laying at the saw mill late la-l
j uhi. They started down the
ladder and were pulling on <.
line io swing the boat in close
enough lo step aboard when
Ciauseu slipped and fell into
(lit water. The men on the
boat threw him a bouy and a
hoav i.g line but be made no
effort to reach either one and
sank. That was the last seer:
of him. L'r. Story was sum
moned but when he got there
a‘i they had for him to work on
v as the mans hat. No report
was made to the authorities
here and the rumor can not be
• confirmed but it is so presis
i tent and so many people seem
to know about it that Marshal
lorn Berry is making preper
ations to drag for the body at
low tide.
