j Early this morning Judge William
Marx, Dan Crowley and Frederick
Larsen stared for the Hot Springs
to attend the fair. They left from
the Wlid Goose pumping plant with
deer belonging to the Lomen herd of
which Marx is foreman. |
Later in the forenoon another par- j
ty consisting of Mrs. Walter Shields, j
and her two children. Miss Anpher j
and Carl and Harry’ Lomen left with
deer droven by Tautuk the govern
I ment herder, and another native. This
party expected to overtake the Marx
out fit tonight at the U. S. road
house. They will Journey on togeth
I er and will doubtless arrive ftt Hot
j Springs on Monday.
The plans of some of political up
lifters are reported to be failing of
realization. Scores of leading ci'.l
zQia have been approached to see If
they would run for the council in
' the coming election. It is the old
story, "Many were called but few
were chosen.' 'All are said to have
agreed that the council needs fixing
and that it is the duty of men with
good business heads to step in and
straighten out city affairs but so far
as has been announced most people
[are reluctant to do it themselves.
It is said to be doutbful even
whether that mass meeting will be
held. Somebody will have to call It
and money will have to be raised to
pay for the hull. Some of the mov
ing spirits are said to be getting tired
of their efforts to arouse public sen
timent but there Is no telling what
will develop over Sunday.
In the meantime the regular politi
cal workers are going along the cus
tomary lines and framing up tickets
and very few are registering anyway.
Last night Judge Lomen beat
Ohrem In a class C match In the
Board of Trade tourney by scoring
110 billiards while his opponent se
cuered 85. The judge's average war l
1.27 and Ohrem's an even billiard for i
each of the 85 Innings. Tonight Mish
will play Meyer.
The department was called out at
1:30 this afternoon by telephone to
put out a fire in the cabin belonging
to Hewitt situated Just west of the
Wild Goose stable and north of the
W. J. Rowe lumber yard. No alarm
was souuded by the whistle because
a box was not rung in.
On arriving at the cabin the fire
men found the inside of tho cabin
burning. The stove had been over- j
turned and the coals were burnin !
on the floor. Bedding had been piled j
on the coals as If to extinguish the
fire. On the overturned stove were:
splashes of freshly drawn blood. The |
department had no difficulty in ex- j
tingulshlng the blaze with the chem
ical.
The fire resulted according to the
statement of people living near there
from a fight In the Cabin. It is said
that during the fracas windows were
broken and the stove overturned. Be
fore the arrival of .the department
the occucpanls of the cabin whoever
they were had gone. Small damage
to the house was done by the fire.
A government reindeer herder nam
ed Frank Itkaenga had a narrow es
cape from freezing to death Thurs
day night and Friday morning by
falling ir.to Nome river. He was
coming to Nom" on Thursday with
Tautuk when the latter decided to
halt the other side of Nome river.
Frank wanted to come on at once
so Tautuk pointed out the course and
be started. While cr. rsing ii.e river
the snow went out fro munder him
pad his two d »ei dropping them a
the open water of the river. The
current was V.-ong aed l.c could not
touch bottom The snow wall was 5 i
or € feet high on all sides and he j
could not get out in spite of repeated
struggles. The deer were swimming ,
around in the open water pawing the i
sides in an endeavor to climb out. ;
Once Frank got hold of a willow
twig to which he clung for a long
time. He shouted repeatedly for aid
until he was too exhausted to cry
out longer. After the twig broke he
was carried by the current towards
the deer and climbed on the back of
one of them. The animal swam to
the farther side of the open water
where he was able to touch bottom.
Frank then standing breast deep
in the water broke the snow down
in such manner that he was able to
climb out He staggered away from
place and saw nearby where Ttutuk’s
sleds had passed and he marvelled
that his cries for help had not been
heard.
Casting about he saw a cabin and
made his way there with difficulty.
He found two white men there nam
ed Jack and Tom Byron. They took
him In and gave him kind care, he
says. They removed hls garments
which had been wet and then frozen
and furnished him with a complete
new outfit from under clothes to
cap which he wore to town last
night.
The Byron boys sent a letter to
Carl Lomen by Frank In which they
stated that he came to their cabin
at 10 o’clock yesterday morning wet
and chilled and said he had been In
the water since 10 o’clock the night
before.
After caring for Frank the Byron
boys went to the river and found
one of the deer In the water dead.
They helped the live one out and took
care of it.
