    K. Kojimoto, a young Japanese about 25 years of age, died yesterday morning at the General hospital from kidney trouble [Bright's disease]. The deceased was a brother of Henry Kojimoto, the popular proprietor of the Golden Eagle hotel. For a long time the young man was with Captain Horrigan at Carcross and was later in business for himself at Conrad where he was well liked. The funeral will take place today, probably at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

    This is the first time death has invaded the ranks of the local Japanese colony.
