FOR 1917
' Officers Are Pledged To Make Arctic
Brotherhood One of Alaska’s
Leading Orders.
JUNEAU, March 19.—The Grand
Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood ad
journed last evening after complet
ing the business of the session. Lit
tle business remained to come before'
the session here as it was an adjourn
ed meeting from Vancouver, B. C.,
when the element opposed to hold
ing meetings of the Brotherhood out
side of Alaska or Yukon forced the
passage of a resolution upholding
their contention. The next grand en
campment will convene in Juneau on
the second Tuesday in March, 1917.
An energetic campaign will be in
augurated to make the Arctic Broth
erhood the leading fraternal order of
the northland. It is realized that the
new era of prosperity which is com
ing to Alaska will cause the popula
■ tion of the territory to grow rapidly
and the Brotherhood are determined
that the fraternal membership of the
order will keep step with the busi
ness development of the north.
TRAPPER SUFFERED
AN AWFUL DEATH
Had Been Terribly Torn By Bear and
Realized That Death Only Could
End Sufferings.
A scrap of paper has been picked
up in the cabin of King Thurman, the
trapper, whose badly decomposed
tody was found on the floor of his
cabin in Chickaloon flats, which tells
of the frightful agony suffered by
him before ending his earthly career
by a shot from his gun.
Thurman’s body was discovered
some time ago and reported to the
authorities as a suicide. Investiga
tion, however, shows that the poor
fellow had been terribly torn by a
bear and realizing that there was no
earthly hope for him had made a su
preme effort to reach his gun and
end his sufferings.
The last words of Thurman were
written on a scrap of paper and as
his right hand had been nearly sever
ed by the bear he had scribbled with
his left the words: "Have been torn
up by brown bear. No show to get
out. Good-bye.” Later he had again
attempted to. leave a message and had
scribbled “I'm sane, but I’m suffer
ing" and “the death—of” followed by
a few indecipherable marks: .i
William Austin and J. Wik found
the body on March 4, and when the
men went to bury It they cut open
the clothes. The whole right side was 5
torn and chewed up from the shoulder
down and the ribs were loosened from
the backbone. The left hip was al- ,
so torn up as were the right arm add 1
calf of the right leg. Mr. Austin be
lieves the bear must have attacked
Thurman about a hundred yards from .
last evening."

Rules That Ordinance Regulating
Vagrants Is Valid—Rustgard
Will Appeal Case.
JUNEAU, March 19.^Judge Jen
nings has upheld the validity of the
city ordinance regulating vagrants,
which authorizes the chief of police
to cause the arrest of persons who
are without visible means of support.
Rustgard immediately gave notice of
appealing the case to the higher
courts.
The ordinance was attacked by At
torney John Rustgard on habeas cor
pus proceedings, declaring that the
ordinance was class legislation and
unconstitutional as It discriminated
and was unfair to the great class of
toilers who were honestly endeavoring
to secure employment.
The trial is the outcome of a vig
orous protest by the Juneau Socialists
against the treatment of indigents by
the Juneau city pblice in compelling
persons convicted of vagrancy being
forced to work on the streets. The
row has already caused the removal
of one chief of police and is caus
ing the new incumbent an uncomfort
able time as many of the prisoners
refuse to work on the streets.
