There were bullet holes in the mouth and face, and a gun was ly- ing across the body. ‘Tremble's death was at first sup- posed to be by suicide, but a search party returning to Wrangell late yeosterday requested investigation by a coroner’s jury, as “the cause of death is questionable.” Richard Suratt, Wrangell U. S.l Commissioner and Coroner, had planned to leave for the cabin to- day, with a coroner’s jury, the Assistant District Attorney, a Dep- | uty Marshal and medical examiner. The trip by river boat has been‘ postponed to Monday, pending the arrival of the assistant “D.A.", ac- cording to word received today. | Tremble, 59-year-old homesteader, apparently had been dead a week | when his body was found by a| neighbor, William Harto, Sr, who | had gone to the cabin to borrow | some milk.
