To Death In Game
ANCHORAGE, (/Pi—A children’s
game of Cowboys and Indians
brought a brutal stabbing death
to a five-year-old girl, and her
boy playmate, 9, was charged with
first degree murder yesterday.
United States Atty. Seaborn J.
Buckelew identified the boy as
Jimmy Ellis, a neighborhood play
mate of the little girl, Bobbie Jean
Denney. The parents of the two
children, who live across the street
from each other, are close friends.
The boy was arraigned in a
commissioner’s court on the mur
der charge. He was ordered held
for a psychiatrist’s examination.
Lt. Wesley Gilman of the Terri
torial Police announced the boy
had confessed the slaying.
He said the lad told, without
tears and much show of emotion,
of their game, and how he got
angry for some unknown reason.
He stabbed the girl many times,
and then, fearing that his father
“would be put in jail,” went home,
Washed off his jack knife, took a
bath and went to bed. Suspicion
centered on him when blood was
found on his glasses.
An autopsy showed the girl’s
body had about 100 knife wounds.
U.S. Atty. Buckelew said the
boy, who is small for his age and
is in the fourth grade, was not
aware of the seriousness t>f his
deed. He has a 10-year-old sister.

New Covenant Church
Formally Dedicated
At Special Service
Last evening at a special service
the Evangelical Mission Covenant
Church was formally dedicated
with Rev. Ralph Hansen from the
home office giving the message.
Also participating the special
program were Rev. C. D. Swanson
of Ripon, Calif., Thomas Tungwe
nuk, Spencer Strand, Howard
Slwooko and the pastor, Rev. Paul
B. F. Carlson.
Special music was by Rev. and
Mrs. R. Amundsen, the Eskimo
Choir, and a song by representa
tives of all the local Protestant
churches present.
The Covenant Church pioneered
missionary work in northern Al
aska as far back as 1887, reaching
the faraway villages throughout
the Arctic and came to Nome
in 1943 during World War II.
In 1950 work started on the
new church which now stands on
the corner of Front Street and
West B. It was completed in 1952,
after having been completely
blown down by a high wind dur
ing its construction.
Aiding Pastor B. F. Carlson
was Spencer Strand and from
time to time Rev. Emory Lindgren
and Rev. Amundsen, who were
stationed at Unalakleet.
The work of the Covenant
Church has grown in Nome, mak
ing it necessary to have two min
isters stationed here. Rev. Am
undsen has joined Rev. Carlson
and with their wives have a busy
schedule.
