A curious coincidence is reported
in a Nome family when a short time
ago Mr. and Mrs. Kell of that place
received a wire from Annapolis that
their son Eugene had been operated
upon for appendicitis. Exactly eight
years ago to a day the Kells received
a similar telegram from the naval
academy that their son Irwin had un
dergone an operation for appendictis,
as a result of which he died. The
coincidence goes further in that the
young men were both stricken with
the same disease, at the same place
and at the sam eage. Happily Gene is
declared out of danger.

GUS HOGBLOOM
DROWNS IN SOUND
VALDEZ, Dec. 16.—Gus Hogbloom,
a well known resident of Ellamar, was
drowned a short distance below Val
dez narrows about 7:30 o’clock Thurs
day evening, according to a report
brought to Valdez this afternoon by
Carl Nelson.
According to the story told by Nel
son, Hogbloom, Mrs. Hogbloom, who
is Nelson’s sister, and Nelson him
self, left here shortly after noon on
Thursday on the launch Helen, bound
for Ellamar. They had a considera
ble quantity of supplies on board for
themselves and others at Ellamar.
Shortly after they got outside the
narrows of Valdez bay the engine
balked and Hogbloom tried unsuccess
fully to get it going again. He final
ly took the spark plug off the engine
and was scraping it off, thinking soot
might have been the cause of the en
gine refusing to work. In the mean
time the launch was rapidly nearing
the rocks, and Nelson who was en
gaged in rigging a sail from his coat
and an oar called to Hogbloom to hur
ry as the boat might go ashore. A
strong wind was blowing down the
bay and rather a heavy sea was run
ning. Hogbloom stepped out on the
deck astern, and noticed that the
freight was tumbling about. Nelson
saw him reach for the packages and a
moment later he was gone. Crying
to his sister that Gus had fallen over
board he rushed to the stern and saw
Hogbloom in the water several feet
away. He called to him to swim, tell
ing him he could easily make the
distance, but Hogbloom was unable
to swim, and after struggling for a
moment went down and did not come
up again, the intensely cold water
probably paralyzing him.—Prospec
tor.
