As to the style, it speaks for

TWO MEN ARE KILLED
WILLOW CREEK SNOWSLIDE
Horace Emery and Bert Stewart
were killed in a snowslide which oe
mrred at the Martin mine at Willow
creek last week. Stewart was su
{ perintendent of the mine and Emery
was a nephew of Martin, the mine
owner. As soon as the news reached
Anchorage a special train was dij
patched with men and equipment to
give aid in rescuing the men if pos
sible or recover their bodies.
Eiinery had recently been associated
with’Milo Kelley at the Eska cr'eelj
coal mine, where Martin had arraug
ed to secure the fuel supply for his
mining operations.
The bodies of the two men were re
covered and taken to Anchorage and
later will be sent to the States for in
terment at the request of relatives of
the deceased.
The heavy snows in the mountains
have caused numerous slides and an
unusual number of accidents hav;
been reported this year.
John F. Coffee and John W. Frame
have formed a partnership and will
open a general real esate and broker
age business. Both members of the
firm have practiced law and, while
they will give but little attention to
this line of business other than here
in Anchorage, they will attend to all
notary work and drawing of legal
documents. Their office is on Fourth
street, near the Baxter corner, in the
building heretofore occupied by Matt
Button as secretary of the Pioneers.
