[ NOME MEN HAD
A HARD TRIP
t
*
—
I (Nome Nugget, Feb. 19.)
[ Reports from the Nugget road
■ house this morning say that a party
i consisting of Leo Wittenberg, Bob
, Rice and a native boy had a nar
| row escape from death in a blind
’ ing blizzard night before last and
i but for the timely arrival of a na
L tive proceeding to the roadhouse
j Vould probably be now lying be
neath a snow drift. As it was the
little party spent the greater part
of thirty-six hours buried in the
snow, unable to proceed in the fur
ious gale which tossed the snow in
blinding sheets and made even the
dogs invisible to the drivers. Witten,
tenberg is reported to be uninjured
by his experience but Rice and the
native are suffering from severe
frost bits
Rice is said to be in particularly
bad shape and is badly frozen on
both hands and feet. The injuries
of the native are confined to the
wrists of both arms and while pain
ful are in no degree serious. Wit
tenberg informed the Nugget today
that the party left the U. S. road
house Friday morning at seven.
There was a slight wind blowing
at the time which gave little hint
of the terrific gale that was to
arise later and obliterate every
thing from view, compelling the
party to seek shelter in a snow
bank to escape its withering fury.
Everything went well until short
ly after noon when the blizzard
suddenly bore down upon them in
a hurricane of driving snow and the
party were compelled to seek im
mediate shelter. As traveling was
out of the o.uestion the trio buried
themselves in the snow. There they
.remained all of Friday afternoon
and night and the major portion of
the next day.
In the interval the wind continued
to blow with terrific intensity and
the driving snow prevented any at
tempt to escape from their burrow.
Cold and famished with hunger, the
party remained in their uncomfort
able quarters until Saturday after
noon when a native came upon the
travelers and guided them to the
roadhouse, which was only about a
1 mile away. Arriving thefe it was
I found that Rice was in bad shape
and the native boy of the party was
also frost bitten.
After trying to relieve the suffer
ers with such means as the road
house afforded, it was decided to
telephone to town for a team to
, bring him in for medical attention.
The marshal’s office was called and
; Percy Blatchford was sent out this
morning. Wittenberg says that the
! native will be all right but he is
| not sure that Rice will be so for
tunate, although he is not aware
of the full nature of his injuries.
He says that their escape was pro
vidential in every degree, but for
the arrival of the native they would
i probably be in the snow drift yet.

j DEMOCRATS OF NOME ACTIVE.
—
The democrats held a caucus last
I night and made final disposal of the
proxies for this division. They also
adopted resolutions for presentation
to the convention which, in accord
ance v-ith Dooley’s famous dictum
1 concerning democratic characteristics
; “denounced and deplored” every
thing in sight, from carpet baggers
to bureaucracy and the need for a
full territorial government. Resolu
tions were also passed giving full
meed of praise to a certain noted
i democrat, Judge Bunnell, of the
Fourth division, who may yet be
come the democratic standard bear
er, if the signs are good for any
thing. Among the things most
deeply “denounced” was the failure
to live up to the democratic plat
form in the matter of appointing
Alaskans to offices in the territory.
The caucus also endorsed several
“native sons” for various exalted
offices. George B. Grigsby was en
dorsed for delegate, Hugh O’Neill
for attorney general of the terri
tory and Senator Charles Sulzer for
national committeeman. — (Nome

MINER CRUSHED
UNDER ROCK
TREADWELL, April 1.—-Gus P.
'Clary, 26, a miner in the
“700,” was killed almost instantly
while working in the mine last
j night. The young man was barring
: down a loose piece of rock, when
| one, immediately overhead, caved in
! burying him almost completely. As
• sistant Superintendent Landsberg
and Foreman Johnson were notified
about ten o’clock of the accident but
were unable to secure the body until
an hour later when life was ext’nct.
The remains were removed to the
! St. Ann’s hospital until word from
relatives is received.
The deceased began work at the
"700” mine September 22, 1915,
having been employed with the pio
neer Mining Company, at Nome Al
aska, prior to that time.
Clary was a native of McLeanbar,,
111., and is survived by a younger
sister in Stanley, Ky., who was no
tified of the disaster, this morning.
A brother, whose address had not
been obtained today, is the only
other relative.
Although the deceased bad been
in the employment of the Treadwell
company less tl.ai a year, he had I
made many friends and was highly
respected by those with whom he
worked and by his employers as a
young man of sterling diameter.
He was a devout Roman Catholic.
The remains are in charge of
Undertaker Thomas, and unless de
ferent word is received from rel
atives funeral - services will take
place from St Ann’s church, Mon- I
day morning. —Juneau Empire.
