the accident, which occurred Novem
ber SO, 105 miles from Fairbanks.
Mr. Gohrea, with hi companion, was
in the woods and a tree, that had been
cat down struck another tree and
started another tree which caused the
falling tree to whirl in some way,
striking Mr. G oh res and when his
companion, Mr. Bonr went to where
he wa lie found him unable to walk.
After carrying him to a Iioubp, a tele
gram was sent to Fairbanks for the
best physician that oonld be had, but
before assistance coold be had, he
passed away, living only fenr hoars
after the accident, thiring the few
boors that be lived be spoke of no
