Bring- ing the winch on the wrecking cal into play, the rear end of the truck was then r: d above the surface But, the truck had been overturned in the raising, and had to be righted before it was finally pulled enough back up the bank to remove the body.

Warner was born Evanville, Ohio, October 25, 1879. As a young man he came to Al- aska, where, his friends say, he knew y camp in the Territory. An expert mechanic, his services were s in demand and employment found. His experienice before coming to Juneau was varied. For a time he had a fox island in the Bristol Bay district. Once, with a stake of about $20,000 he left Alaska with Swiftwater Bill, famous pros- pector, his friends said, to follow a gold rush to South America, but the expedition failed turned to the Territory. On Salmon Creeck Dam After he came to Juneau, about 25 years ago, Mr. Warner was con- struction engineer on the Salmon Creek dam, under Harry Wollen- berg who built the dam for the Al- aska Gastineau Mining Company. One of Mr. Warner's early acti- vities in Juneau was the salvaging of the wreck of the Al-Ki near Juneau many years ago. It was only a short time ago that the 20-Year-Ago column of *The Empire carried a paragraph about the gasoline-saving device for au- tomobiles that Warner had invent- >d and had made arrangements to | market. Since his purchase of the machine {shop which he operated as Charles G. Warner Company, about twenty | vears ago, he has been in business |for himself in Juneau. Married in 1919 ir. Warner was married in Sep- ember, 1919, to Miss Aline Rosen- berg, of San Francisco, who had come to Juneau to visit her sister, Mrs. Alvin Goldstein and remained as a secretary in the Customs House. Their marriage took place in Se- attle, and they have made their home in Juneau since that time. Mrs. Warner, who had waved goodbye to her husband as he left his office on his fatal journey yes- terday, was unaware of the accident for some time after it occurred. As soon as he learned of the accident, Harry I. Lucas, a close friend of the family, telephoned Mrs. Lucas and asked her to tell Mrs. Warner what had happened. Mrs. Warner was reached at the machine shop office and was asked to come to the Lucas apartment, where Mrs. Luc#s gave her the news of her husband’s acci- dent. Mr Warner hzs been active in civie affairs in Juneau. He served Wo terms in the City Council, from 1918 until 1920 and from 1927 until 1929. 1t was during his first term hat he had charge of changing the course of Gold Creek, following the verflow of the creek and flooding of the Casey-Shattuck A i 15 ddition in Friends attending the funeral are| {to attend the last rites at the ceme-| far | and he re- By 1ate May the Golden Gate bridge, $35,000,000 structure spanning the entrance to San Francisco bay, will be completed and opened to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
