head
of

talked

of

things.
He
said
in

that:
Twenty
years

he
had
mad
his
first
trip
through
the
Central
Interior,
proceeding
out
of
Prince

to
the
end
of

and
from
there
by
the
employment
of
a
couple
of
cayuses.
Looking
back
to
that
trip
he
could
not

to
ba

with
the
very

development
which
had
taken
place.

with

There

in

at

time

It
was
money
which

No

From

no

for

It
Is
a

The
death
occurred
with
tragic
suddenness
last
evening
of
Harvey
Fraser,
a
pioneer
resident
of
Prince
Rupert
and
one
of
the
well
known
men
of
the
city.
He
was
taken
111
at
the
baseball
game
and
died
a
short
time
later
on
his
way
to
the
hos
pital.
It
seems
that
Mr.
Fraser,
who
was
managing
the
Old
Empress
team,
was
watching
the
.play
from
near
the
bleachers.
The
scoring
was
close
and
there
was
some
excite
ment,
the
Native
Sons
being
one
run
ahead.
Then
a
run
was
made
by
the
Old
Empress,
bringing
the
score
to
a
tie.
It
was
at
this
moment
that
Mr.
Fraser
was
seen
to
callapse.
Friends
ran
to
his
aid
and
tried
to
revive
him
but
with
little
success.
They
put
him
in
a
car
and
started
for
the
hospital
but
when
he
arrived
life
was
extinct.
He
had
pas
sed
away
peacefully
as
a
result
of
heart
failure.
Harvey
was
known
to
nearly
ev
eryone
In
the
city
and
his
genial
good
nature
and
natural
exuberance
made
him
popular
everywhere.
He
was
a
sheet
metal
worker
by
trade,
a
keen
sportsman
and
a
good
fellow
all
round.
In
politics
he
was
a
keen
Liberal
and
was
a
great
sup

of
Fred
Stork
whom
he
was
planning
to
visit
In
Ontario
this
year.
However,
he
never
let

Interfere

Baseball
was
his
favorite
sport
and
he
had
been
managing

this

with
considerable
success.
