"This heat is unbearable. I never saw anything like it, and I'm anxious to get back to good old Sitka, where a man can breathe." Bohleber left Omaha 17 years ago for Alaska, where he has been ever since. He is visiting his sister, Mrs. Mary Harte, 4810 Chicago street, and his daughter, Mrs. T. J. Burns, Bemis park.
