The death of Klwoud Bruner which
was exclusively printed in the Nugget
last Saturday, came as a shock to his
many friends in Nome. Senator Bruner
was for many years closely identified
with the- people of Nome and had many
close friends who regarded him as a
polished gentleman and a public spirit
ed citizen, prominent in all public af
fairs looking to the betterment of the
city. He was a polished speaker and a
prominent member of the Nome bar
and was honored by the citizens of this
district by electing him one of the first
senators to represent them in the first
territorial legislature Ho was a mem
ber of several of th prominent orders
in the city and universally respected
iri the i omtminity Haoator KIwood
Bruner was bom in TJancville, Ohiu
September 27th, H.'i, and moved with
his parents when unite young to Saa
Jose, California, where he was edu
cated and as a yr 'jng man read law.
ft
I
! He practiced law many years In Sac
ramento, California, .and was elected
prosecuting attorney for the county of
Sacramento. He was afterwards elected
in the state senate. He came to Nome]
June 17, 1904 and was associated with!
his brother .1. Allison llrunner in the I
practice of law and was regarded*-ax
i lawyer of rare ability, and was for a j
time the president of the bar assoeia
tion of Nome. He is survived by a wife
and four daughters who reside in Sac
ramento. California and two brothers,
1.1 Allison Bruner and Alvan Bruner,
the later of whom is a resident of
southeastern Alaska. The death of
.Senator Bruner leaves a vacancy in our
legislature which cannot in till pro
bability be tilled ns there is no provi
sion in tlie enabling not for tilling the
vacancy except byr special election and
it is probably too late for such election. 1

LETTER OF INQUIRY
FROM A LIFE TERMER
---—
The following letter which was re
ceived by Postmaster Rakke. is of so
much importance to the writer, who is
scrv lug a life term in Leavenworth.
Kansas, that it is given in full in hopes
it may finally iT'ach the party sought
to that if an injustice has been done
i it inny he corrected.
The letter Is as follows:
Postmaster. Nome. Alaska.
Dear Sir. I am going to ask a favor
| of you, although I do not know whether
|or not you will he able to help me.
1 am trying to locate a man by the j
name of Billy Barnhart, the name, j
however, may he differently spelled
hut this is as near as I remember 1
j left Barnhart at Baysan Mission, on
| thi‘ Yukon river about July 10, 1911.
At that time he was undecided
! whether he would go to Ruby or not.
1 have caused inquiries to lie made all
over the upper country but so far have
not been able to get any trace of him.
I know that he had been in the Nome
country before and I now think it pos
sible he may have drifted back around
there some place, possibly in some of
the smaller outlying camps. I have
been compelled to put people to a con
siderable amount of trouble in this
matter and I am sorry to have to do
it. hut I ant here in the penitentiary j
serving a life sentence for a crime I j
never committed. If I could find this l
man Barnhart and one or two more 1
am looking for I could prove my in
nocence and possibly get out of here.
It is possible you have heard of my
case. I was arrested in .Tunc, 1912, at
Ruby, Alaska, and later on. in the fall,
I was convicted of having killed the
Nelson brothers.
They were supposed to have been
killed in June or July, 1911, on their
way down the Kuskokwim river, on a
stampede into that country. 1 was
going down the river on the same stam
pede and that is how I happened to he
convicted of the crime. I was acquaint
ed with the Nelsons and good friends
with them. 1 did not know they had
been killed until shortly before I was
arrested in Ruby in June, 1912. At the
time of my trial I hardly knew what
witnesses I would need and when the
trial was over it was too late to pro
cure them and those I would have had
to hell) me could not he located. If
there is any way you can help me in
finding the whereabouts fit Barnhart 1
will very much appreciate your kind
ness and it may help to secure the
liberty of an innocent man who is serv
ing time for a crime lie never com
mitted.
Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH CAMPBELL. I
