NATIVE FAMILY MEETS
DEATH IN ICY WAIT
The death by drowning ot a native
tamlly consisting of three persons, a
man, u woman and a baby, In the
chill waters of a slough bordering the
Kuzltreln river about the first of the
year Is the story brought to Nome by
Hans Larsen, the Nome-Kougarok
freighter John Otok Is the name of
the unfortunate man and the woman
and baby were his wife and child. Ac
cording to the story told to Larsen,
Otak left Mary’s Igloo with a dog
team some time around the first of
the year with the Intention of going
down the river.
Attempted Dangerous Crossing.
The trio apparently proceeded with
out mishap for some distance until
they attempted to cross a slough to,
avoid traveling around a bend In the
river and here they came to grief. The
high winds prevailing about that po
rlod had backed up the waters in the
sloughs to a depth of several feet
terming wide lakes which were cov
ered over with a thin coating of Ice
which to all appearances was perfectly
safe from passage From all tndica
tions the natives did not realize the
treacherous nature of the Ice and at
tempted to cross, with the result that
all three broke through and were
drowned, together with their dogs, in
ihe Icy waters.
Bodies Found Beneath Ice.
Some two or three days afterward
a native named Kullck Journeying In
tile locality found evidences of the sad
fatality and a search revealed the
bodies of the trio beneath the over
lying coat of crystal ice which had
formed over the spot where they
plunged to death.
Babe Still in Mother’s Hood.
The three bodies were close together
in about five feet of water, that of the
infant being still ensconced beneath
the hood of Its mother's parka.
Probably Died Lingering Death.
As the depth of water was slight
it is presumed that the natives after
falling through were unable to extrl
i ate themselves, owing to the frail na
ture of the Ice, and after becoming

Louis Erickson returned to town this
morning after an extensive tour of In

of the road commission. The deputy
commissioner's trip extended as far
us Kotllk, the village situated on the
Apoon mouth of the Yukon river some
two or three miles from the govern

namo. Mr. Jones left here on the

The road committee met yesterday and
discussed mattors relative to their
branch of endeavor and also fixed up
their report which will, it is said, make
Home valuable suggestions. The harbor
committee will probably meet today
and line up for their report to the
main body. It Is stated by President
Polet that a meeting of the board
of directors will probably be called for
tomorrow at four p. m. for the purpose
of discussing matters and to arrange
for a meeting to hoar the reports of

latter team proved the winners by a
score of twenty to seven. The second
game between Fort Davis and the
Horseshoes was distinguished by a
little classier playing and was Inter
esting throughout The Fort won by
a score of fifteen to five. The teams
are In good form apparently but are
a trifle lacking in the matter of team
work. Time will Improve this, how
ever, and some excellent games may
be expected when the teams hit their
proper rstride. The first ball was
pitched by Judge Tucker who hurled

thing but ideal and moat of the time
was bad. While staying at Kotllk the
water backed up to such a degree that
the travelers were compelled to leave
er they would probably have been
there yet As It was they were com
pelled to wade for a distance of about
two miles with the water above the
bottom of their sled. On the road
back they encountered the big storm
and were compelled to lay over. So
strong was the force of the wind that
the roof of the cabin occupied by the
travelers was torn completely off and
they had to seek other shelter. Mr.
Jones states that the Ice has moved
up on the shore for a constderab'a
distance although It was out between
the mission and Walla Walla. The
schooner Rupert was moved back some
little distance by the encroaching Ice
floes at the mission but no particular
damage was done so far as known. It
was hard traveling most of the way
and the trail from Isaac's Point to
Nome was very heavy.
