Death was due to natural causes, presumably heart fallure resulting from high blood pressure, according to the verdict of a coroner’s jury, convened here |this afternoon. The remalns are at the Oharles W. Carter Mortu- |ary. No arrangements have yet |been made for the funeral. | Boat Close to Beach Johnson’s boat was noticed near the beach close to Point Hilda Tuesday by Charles Nelson and Wilford Martinson as they were coming in their craft from Ad- miralty Island to Douglas. They went to the drifting boat and on board it saw the body of the dead man slumped ‘Over his gasoline en- gine. Without disturbing the re- mains they lowered the craft's anchor and then came to Juneau, reporting to United States Com- missioner Charles -Sey. He with Deputy Marshal W. R. Garster went to the scene yesterday and returned here with the body and the boat. The inquest was held this after- noon in the parlors of the Carter Mortuary. * Dr. W. W. Council, who examined the remains stated the cause of death and declared that it had occurred three or four days ago. Drifted With Tide Quite likely Johnson’s boat was running when he died. It prob- ably continued to voyage aimlessly under its own power for some time, and then was carried to and from shore with the tides. ‘The hull of the craft gives evidence of having scraped against rocks. Johnson lived by himself in a cabin at Douglas. He had no rela- tives in this part of the country, and none elsewhere so far as known here. He had built tha boat in which he died at Doug- las in 1924. The craft is 33 feer long, 8 feet wide and equipped with an 8 horsepower engine. It is registered as the T-2722. ———————e Valdez will hold a winter car- nival March 26, 27 and 28. Dog races will be prominent among the diversions. . MOTHERS!
