Discuss Funeral Arrangements | Last might he talked axer calmly with officials the ‘arrangements for his funeral; Today ‘he'was waited| upon by the spiritual advisors Six legal executions have been held in the entire history of Alaskaj it. was' said here this year by Dr.| Charles E. Bunnell, President of the University of Alaska. One was at| | €itka,- three at Fairbanks, one atl | Nome, and one at. Valdez. { | At Sitka, J. Homer Bird was| hang2d at a warehouse on the dock | \in the spring of 1002. . Among those | who witnessed the execution were the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, now Cu+ rator: of the Alaska Historical Mu= seum, to whom The Empire is in+ debted for mueh of the history re- cearch into Alaska hangings. Bird was tried in Juneau and found guilty of killing R. H. Patter- son and J. H. Hurlin near Anvik on the Yukon September 26 or 27, 1898, He shot the two men in their backs while they were eating breakfast. Two others in the pariy, Charles| Sheffler and Norma Strong, were | not harmed and lived to testify against Bird at his trial. Fairbanks Hanging Secretary of Alaska E. L. (Bob) Bartlett witnessed one of the Fair-| banks executions, that of Constan- tine. Beaver, hanged 10 years ago in} the last legal execution in the Ter=| ritory. The Holitna Native had shot’ another Indian while drunk. | Another hanged at Fairbanks was | a man named Sigura, found guilty of shooting George Riley, Iditarod dredge operator. The first man to| be executed at Fairbanks was @a| Native, whose head was severed from | the body. when he fell through the trap. { Lynchings Common | Many lynchings have been held in Alaska, several in this region. In‘ the ’'80's several.men were hanged in Juneau by vigilantes. The Sitka newspaper tells of the lynching of Doc Tanner, a Montana cowboy, at Valdez Pass, Orca, Prince William Sound, for the murder of A. Lee and N. A. Call. Prospectors arranged @ trial: The prisoner en- tered a plea of self-defense. | Says the old newspaper: “The| testimony was heard, the jury retired | and brought' in a verdict of guilty | and decided. that.the prisoner’s) death be by hanging, at 9 o'clock the followigg morning:™ When Tanner was taken to the| tree- from which he was to hang, he surveyed ' the repe- cooly and -resd marked, “Doi’t you know you are | stringing up’ the bestnian in‘all Al- | aska ‘'with! a six-shooter.” | | His ‘last- words; with ‘the rape around his neek; were: “Boys, what are you 'going to 'do; pull me up straight. and'~let. me stay? Pull away.” Twenty-four men pulled on | the rope. - Tanner was buried at the | foot of the ‘tree. 2t A The newspaper carried a small item in 1000 telling of the arrival of 'a vessel in/Sitka. It added: ' *“The’ Excelsior also-reparts a-lynching’ bee at Lituya Bay. Two men were mur- 'dered there. Jast' fall and'it being impossible to communicate with the | authorities at Sitka and fearing to set the murderer 'at large in’‘the | community, being satisfied of' his guilt,” the ' Lituyans thought proper to take the law into-their own hands, hence the elevation of the criminal.” 'LIQUOR STORE - 15 QPENED BY Market include a new liquor store for Juneau.
