NO DOUBT CONRAD _
CONRAD FREEDING MISSING
FOR EIGHT DAYS—SUPPOSED
TO HAVE PERISHED IN COLD
That the Arctic cold Und desert
wastes of snow have claimed another
victim In the person of Comad Frccd
l'.g now seems to bs almost a cer
tainty.
On Thanksgiving morning Freed
irg left the Serpentine Hot Springs
to return to hi3 store on Taylor creek,
lie left between nine and ten o'clock
In the morning and has not been seen
or heard of since.
Yesterday Mr. Hastings o’ Taylor
went up to the springs to get Mr.
mid Mrs. Freeding and their child
recording to an agreement previously
made and he then learned that
b reeding had left there a week before,
lie took Mrs. Freeding and the child
back to the store and gave the alarm.
About fifteen men then started out
to search for Freeding. The search
began late yesterday afternoon and
was containucd all night. Men with
dog teams ard men on snow shoes j
and skiis went all over the country :
where the missing man may have |
allayed.
This afternoon when the Nugget
: talked with Joe Sales at Taj lor over;
I the phone no trace of Freeding had '
been found.
The Serpentine Springs are about
12 miles from Taylor over a track
less waste with no trees and no shel
ter for a traveler. Sales says that
he and others there have given up 1
hope but the search still continues.
About two weeks ago Victor An- i
derson took the Freedings from Taj-- I
lor to the springs where it was J
thought the waters would benefit Mrs. |
Freeding’s health. Anderson left
the three of them there and at that |
time it was Freeding’s intention to
stay a few days until he had got
Mrs. Freeding comfortably situated
t when he would leave for Taylor to
attend to his business affairs.
Apparently Freeding followed hi
| plans and started on Thanksgiving
! inoning. It was then 24 below zor
; up there und later in the day the win
1 arose with quite a lot of snow In th
air. Since then tha temperature has
been as low as GO below and has
ranged on the average not far from
40 below.
As there was no place for Freed
ing to stay If he wandered off his
course the people of Taylor think
that he has surely perished thoug
they will entertain a hope until his
dead body is found.
Mrs. Freeding is now at Taylor In
a state of collapso. She Is very ner
vous and is almost heart broken. Th ■
unfortunate part of it , Is that no
woman Is there to comfort her and no
doctor to render aid.
