Walkers Waked Fowl WATERBURY, Conn, Jan. 14— Roosters have been accused since time began of awakening slum- bering humans, but it remained for Mayor Frank Hayes of Water- bury to complain that humans, disturbed the sleep of his roosters. When a hotel guest wrcte the mayor complaining that the vocal- izing of his honor’s roosters at dawn made sleeping next to im- possible, the mayor replied that pedestrians using a passageway between the hotel and his prop- erty were at fault for awakening the roosters.

JUNEAU TEAMS| € M;naeress HARRY COULTER | DEAD IN SITKA, HEART ATTACK Pioneer Mining Man Dies Suddenly in Pioneers’ Home Saturday Harry Coulter, ploneer of Alaska and one time resident of this city, died Sunday evening et the Pio- neers’ Home at Sitka, according to official advices received at the Governor’s office. He is believed to have been about 60 years of age and had resided in the north for some 34 years. Death came suddenly from heart disease from which Mr. Coulter had suffered, at times intensely, for a number of years. Efforts are being made to learn the address of rela- tives believed to be Hving in Cali- fornia before final arrangements for funeral and interment are made. Mr. Coulter stampeded to the Klondike in 1898. Afterward he went to the Fortymile region. Few stampedes have occurred in the Territory since then that he did not participate in. He was in the |Nome rush, later went to Fair- banks, the Iditarod, Kokukuk and Marshall. He prospected and mined in these and many other sections, and in four or five of the camps was the first recorder of mining claims, acting by authority of the officials succeeded him. He also resided at Kodiak and in this city. In 1929, Mr. Coulter, who had been here for several months, was made Sergeant-at-Arms in the House of Representatives. He re- mained here sometime after the Legislature adjourned, then went to Kodiak. He was admitted to the Pioneers’ Home several months ago.
