Elkader Register, Thur., 3 Apr. 1890.

Drowned- Last Saturday's papers contained a telegram from Juneau, Alaska, stating that Frank Muzzy, of Montana, and three companions drowned at Takon inlet, on the 28th. Mr. Muzzy is a son of Charles Muzzy of this place, who for a number of years past has resided in Montana, but who some time since went to Alaska on a prospecting trip. We are without further details in regard to the sad affair, as no word has yet been received. Mr. Muzzy will have the sympathy of numerous friends in his bereavement.
