SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY. JANUARY 13. 1917
A prominent business man named Cheasty tell
through a window in Seattle a few years ago and was kill
ed. It was known that he had been suffering from some <
illness, probably an illness that affected the nerves, and
it was almost impossible to get the public to believe that
he did not commit suicide. It is quite possible, of course,
that nerve trouble might cause a man to lose his mind
temporarily but when a person is in a very nervous state
falling through a high window might be also very easily
accidental. The strange effect which looking front a dizzy
height exercises on some minds is known to everyone.
Sitting at an open window above a sheer precipice when
the nerves might have been shaken by some calamity is
really a danger.
Valdez is just now suffering severely. To the de
structive tires is added the horror oi the feeling that citi
zens of the town might have been criminals. Atop of all
this comes the awful death of its most prominent business
man and the suicide of another. Either one ot these cal
amitous occurrences might well be sufficient to cast a deep
gloom over the people of our neighboring city. All com
ing together must make every person in \ aldez feel keen
personal suffering and despondency. Under the circum
stances we here in Seward cannot but feel the deepest
sympathy for our sister town and we should let it be
known in some unmistakable manner. Next to Valdez
itself Seward suffers the keenest regret and we can only
hope that the people of that tine city will be provided with
th; fortitude to withstand its terrible trial.
Sam Blum is a loss to Alaska. He was big-hearted
and generous. Just after the fire that took a fortune
from him he wired from Seattle the hope that no one had
been physically injured, ami the hope that other sufferers
financially would stand up against their loss. In this town
of Seward something is published which Mr. Blum
thought might l>e of aid in advertising the territory ami
ne subscribed for the publication for all of his three
stores. Little things like these illustrate his character,
but i nthe bigger things he always showed public spirit
and a real desire to make Alaska prosperous. The terri
ble accident that took his life took a good friend and a
progressive citizen from the territory.
