Inquiry into the disappearance of Boh
Lagin, an old-timer well known in the In
tenor of Alaska, who has not been heart:
of for more than a year past, is still be
ing conducted by the United States mar
shal’s office. Lagin was last seen on Sep
tember 12, 1913. He had been trapping
and hunting on the upper tributaries ol
the Kuskokwim, and intended to spend the
Christmas holidays at Takotna. His non
arrival there caused apprehension for his
safety, and efforts were made to learn hb
fate. A man named Steve Foster told in
Fairbanks last summer of having seen
Lagin a short time previously, but this is
believed to have been a mistake. A letter
from Dr. Green of Takotna to Deputy Mar
shal Percy G. Charles on the subject sug
gests that Lagin may have been a victim
of the Indians. The letter is in part as
follows:
“Jesse Roder is as trustworthy and hon
orable a young man as you could wish to
meet anywhere, and has been working on
Candle creek all summer. I had a talk
with him recently and learned the follow
ing:
"He and Bob killed two moose thirty
five miles lip the North fork, and after
dressing them Bob left hint to go about
eighty miles up, or forty-five miles farther,
where he was going to trap. Bob took the
canoe, leaving his poling boat for Jesse
to take the moose down river. Bob in
structed him to leave his moose at Arthur
Berry's, at Big river, so he would have
it when he returned about Christmas time.
Jesse did this, and Berry had to feed it
to his dogs this spring, as Bob failed to
show up.
“C. Frank Cowan, it is reported, told
them that Bob Lagin came there and the
last he saw of him he was going over the
divide to the Novi. When Cowan came
down river this spring he brought Bob’s
canoe, which he found where Bob told him,
and left it at Berry’s.
Believes Indians Killed Him
“Jesse Yoder left Bob on September 12,
1013, or rather Bob left Yoder on that
date Yoder staying where they killed the
moose to dry it out to keep it from spoil
ing. On September 18 the McKinley Fork
Indians tried to run him off and to take
hi.- meat away from him. He punched sev
eral of them pretty well, I guess, and then
they threatened to shoot him. lb* told
them to get busy, as he would n* ' leave
until his meat was fit to move. All of the
Indians know he is a crack and quick shot,
but nevertheless they spent several days
and nights shooting around his camp, al
wavs from cover, several shots hitting the
trees where he was camped and had his
meat. When Bob left him he had four
and a half gallons of whisky and plenty of
erub to take him through the winter, with
what meat he would get. He also had
plenty of ammunition.
“It is Yoder’s opinion that Bob was
killed by these same Indians, is they have
run off every white man who has gone into
their district. A man by the name of
John Sigurson went into their country last
year and has not been seen or heard from
since, thus making two who have disap
peared up there."
Natives a Bad Lot
| A later communication from Or. Green
! gives an interesting insight into conditions
in the little known regions in the upper
Kuskokwim country. He says:
' “I have just had a talk with Paul Min
nick, a German who was on the Kusko
kwim some time since, hunting moose, and
he reports the following:
“While coming down the North fork he
stopped with his motor boat and his moose
at the mouth of the McKinley fork, in a
cabin belonging to another German named
Frederick. Here he found Chief Soo Suey,
who stayed all night with him. He asked
him if he had seen Bob Lagin and he said:
‘Yes; he die all same two Indians same
day. One Indian he die my cabin Me Km
' ley fork.’ (He lives up the McKinley fork.
“Then Minnick asked him if he knew
Jesse Yoder, and he answered: ‘Yes; he
kill five my dogs. Three dogs no good,
me kill 'em pretty soon. Two dogs hiu
• skookum dogs. Me kdl him sometime.’
i Minnick says as he does not understand
the Indians or English any too well, he
may have misunderstood him. After they
had gone to bed, Minnick says, he could
not sleep, thinking of what Soo Suey had
said, and knowing what the other Indians
say about his (Soo Suey’s) being a smooth,
foxy Indian. While awake, but pretending
to sleep, Soo Suey got up very carefully,
took the ‘bug’ and went out of the cabin,
and he got up to see what he did. Soo
Suey, after getting out of the cabin, lighted
the ‘bug’ and went down to his boat and
searched it all over, returning to the cabin
and putting out his ‘bug’ before he came
in. Minnick got back into bed and the
Indian came very carefully crawling in his
end of the bunk, and was soon asleep. In
the morning neither one mentioned the sub
ject. Minnick being afraid to ask him why
he searched his boat after they had gone
to bed. Minnick discredits the story
of Lagin’s being at C F. Cowan’s cabin,
further up. and says that Lagin left a
note tacked to a tree on the bank near his
canoe, where he had camped, directing
Cowan to take his canoe down with him
when he came along in the spring, and to
leave it at Berry’s. This Cowan did.”

ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS
RECALLS STIRRING TIMES
The hearings before the international tri
bunal of the American and British claims
arbitration, which began in Washington last
spring, involved some stirring tales of sea
adventure when the sealing schooners that
swarmed Bering sea more than tw'enty years
ago went out of the Seattle and the British
Columbia cities of Victoria and Vancouver
-ays a correspondent of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
While many men now living in Seattle
participated in the sea hunt for fur seals,
generally they sailed under the British tlag
and the claims arising from the seizure of
their ships by American revenue cutters are
mostly British.
Perhaps the most notable of the cases to
be arbitrated was that of the Coquitlam,
supply ship for ninety five small schooners
engaged in hunting seals in the Bering sea
in 1892.
The owners of the Coquitlam sought to
recover $104,000 for the seizure of their
steamer. Among the large items in the
bill of damages were fees paid to E. C.
Hughes, James Hamilton Lewis, Struve &
McMicken and Stratton, Lewis * Gilman.
The steamer Coquitlam, Edwin E. Mc
Lellan, master, left Victoria in the spring
of 1892 to take supplies to the British seal
ing schooners and to take back their catch
of furs. In those days the United States
contended that Bering sea was a closed
sea so far as pelagic sealing was concerned,
and although in 1893, at an international
conference, this position was not sustained,
a zone having a radius of sixty miles from
the Pribilof islands was closed to sealers by
the nations taking part in the convention.
The Coquitlam had arranged a rendez
vous with the sealing schooners Brenda,
Umbrina, Sea Lion, Venture, Maud S., Wal
ter A. Earle, Viva, Oscar & Hattie and
Fawn at Tonki bay, on Afgonak island. In
order to keep within the law the Coquitlam
towed the schooners beyond the three-mile
limit and there transferred cargoes.
After receiving the sealskins, the Coquit
lam steamed into Tonki bay and was seized
by the United States cutter Corwin. The
steamer was taken to Sitka, where it was
turned over to customs officers and the crew
placed in the custody of the United States
marshal.
Although it was shown that, the transfer
of cargoes had taken place beyond the three
mile limit, it was contended upon the part
of the United States that under an old law
sometimes known as the “British hovering
act,” designed to prevent operations of
smugglers, vessels could be seized within
twelve miles of the coast.
Upon the trial of the libel, the Coquitlam
and her cargo were condemned by the
United States district court. An appeal was
taken to the United States court of appeals
and the libel was subsequently dismissed.
One of the officers of the Coquitlam was
Ashmun N. Brown of the Post-Intelligencer
staff. Mr. Brown wished to get a story of
the Bering sea sealers, and as the Coquitlam
could not carry passengers, he was taken on
as fourth officer of the ship, with few duties
and a great deal of leisure.
Although Mr. Brown learned all he knew
of navigation on the water front in Seattle,
he took his regular watch, having, however,
a competent quartermaster to steer the ship.
Upon one occasion Mr. Brown was in
structed by the captain to watch for the
lights of sealing schooners and to approach
them near eiii ugh to ascertain their identity
In the early morning hours Mr. Brown
saw a light low in the western sky. He
directed the quartermaster to change the
course of the steamer and to pursue the
light. After two hours of futile pursuit the
light dipped below the horizon and was
seen only when the swell of the peaceful
ocean brought the ship to a higher position.
“Quartermaster, what do you make of
that light?” asked Fourth Officer Brown.
“That is the star Sirius, sometimes known
as the Dog star,” answered the learned
quartermaster.
“Set our course east by north,” replied
Mr. Brown, somewhat chagrined. “And.
quartermaster, kindly make no mention of
pursuing a light.”
The next day the captain took his bear
ings, the Coquitlam appearing twenty miles
out of her course. Mr. Brown offered no
explanation, and the steamer’s odd behavior
was put down to the unusual currents in
the Bering sea.
NAPOLEON’S MAXIMS
The following are some of Napoleon’s
maxims, taken from H A. L. Fisher’s “Na
poleon,” in the Home University Library:
“Unity of command is a first necessity of
war.”
“Love is the occupation of the idle man.
the distraction of the warrior, the stum
bling block of the sovereign.”
“The first quality of the commander in
chief is a cool head.”
“He lies too much. One may very well
lie sometimes, but always is too much.”
i “A great captain ought to say to himself:
. If the enemy appear on my front, my right
| or my left, what should I do? If he finds
himself embarrassed, he is ill posted.”
! “When a king is said to be a kind man,
I the reign is a failure.”
i “Heart! How the devil do you know
| what your heart is? It is a bit of you
j crossed by a big vein in which the blood
goes quicker when you run.”
“The heart of a statesman should be in
his head.”
“High tragedy is the school of great men.
It is the duty of sovereigns to encourage
and spread it. Tragedy warms the soul,
raises the heart, can and ought to create
heroes.”
“Bleeding enters into the combination of
i political medicine.”
I “The vice of our modern institutions is
that they have nothing which appeals to
! the imaginations. Man can only be gov
erned through imagination. Without it he
is a brute.”
“Conscription is the eternal root of a
nation, purifying its morality and framing
all its habits.”
“I regard myself as probably the most
daring man in war who has ever existed.”
“Love of country is the first virtue of
civilized man.”
“There are only two nations—East and
I West.”

YOUNG KILGORE
DIES SUDDENLY
Wilbur Fleming Kilgore, the 19-year nM
son of A. M. Kilgore, was stricken with j
heart trouble shortly after noon last Satur
day at his home in F'lat City, and despite
the ministrations of two physicians, suc
cumbed in less than an hour. The young
man had been engaged during the forenoon
with his father in hauling and handling
wood, and just prior to his sudden seizure
had partaken of a hearty meal. Leaving
the restaurant with his father, he com
plained of not feeling well, and signified his
intention of going home. His father told
him that he had an errand to attend to.
and that he would join him later at the
cabin. When the father returned to the
cabin a few minutes later he found Wilbur
unconscious, and immediately sent for the
physicians, but they were unable to afford
relief, and the young man was overcome by
death within an hour after his seizure.
The news of young Kilgore’s death cre
ated a profound shock in the community,
where he has been well and favorably known
for the [last three years. All social events
were at once canceled as a mark of respect
for the dead, and arrangements for the
funeral were commenced by the Arctic
Brotherhood, of which young Kilgore had
been a member since May. 1913.
The body was brought to Iditarod on
Sunday last, and was taken in charge by
Undertaker Joseph H. Smith. No autopsy
wax held, but it was believed by the physi
cians that death was caused by the bursting
of a blood vessel in the heart. The young
man had complained recently of suffering
pains in the region of the heart, and on
the morning of his death had been so af
fected. It is believed that the condition of
the deceased was brought about by over
exertion. Last summer he took great in
terest in the Fourth of July sports in this
city, and underwent an elaborate system
of training for the various events in which
he was entered. When the sports took place
it was seen that the effects of the severe
course of training had been injurious to
him, and at the close of the main running
event he was exhausted. Despite this, he
took part in several later events. During
the summer he had been employed in the
placer mines of Flat creek, and had prided
himself that he, a mere boy, had been able
to keep up the pace set by strung men. and
in many instances to outdo them. All this
is said to have had a tendency to bring
about the condition which resulted in his
death.
The funeral was held al 2 o’clock Mon
day afternoon at the A. B. hall, under the
auspices of the Arctic Brotherhood. Dur
ing the obsequies business generally was
suspended, and the entire community at
tended the services. The impressive cere
mony of the Arctic Brotherhood was con
ducted by Arctic Chief Claude Baker, as
sisted by a choir composed of Mrs. Ray D.
Clarke, Mrs. Mike Maher, Harry Leland,
Harry Donnelley, Cyril P. Wood and Charles
E. Taylor, with Mrs. Percy G. Charles pre
siding at the piano.
The services were opened with a beauti
ful rendition of an anthem, “Thy Will Be
Done,” by Harry Leland, which was tol
lowed by the ritual services of the order,
interspersed by hymns by the choir. At
the conclusion of the services the assem
blage filed past the casket to view the re
mains. The casket was loaded down with
floral tributes, some beautiful wreaths be
ing among them.
Leaving the hall, the funeral procession,
headed by the officers and members of the
Brotherhood, and followed by a large con
course, wended its way to the cemetery,
where the burial service was read by the
Arctic Chief, assisted by other officers of
the camp.
The day was a bitterly cold one, with a
raw northeast wind blowing, but despite
this, many ladies were among those who
braved the weather and joined in the long
walk to the cemetery.
Wilbur Fleming Kilgore was born at
Duluth, Minn., September 25, 1895, and
came to this section of Alaska three years
ago with his father. For a time he was
engaged in trapping on the headwaters of
the Kuskokwim river, but for the past
year and a half had made his home with
his father at Flat City. He was a young
man of exemplary habits, of quiet and
modest disposition, and was the almost con
stant companion of his father, to whom he
was greatly attached. Many sincere ex
pressions of sympathy have been extended
to the bereaved parent, and for the absent
mother and sister, who are residents of
Washington state.
The pall bearers were: Charles Hurst,
Christie Anthonieson, Charles Larson, Robert
Soutar, J. J. Smith and Mr. Dickson.
The Resolutions
The following were the resolutions adopted
by Iditarod camp:
“Whereas, Camp Iditarod No. 27, Arctic
Brotherhood, is called upon to mourn the
loss by death of Brother Wilbur F. Kilgore,
who suddenly passed away at Flat City on
the afternoon of November 7; therefore be it
“Resolved, That in the death of Brother
Kilgore Camp Iditarod No. 27 has lost a
faithful member, one who was ever ready
to assist a fellow sojourner in the great
Northland by a kind word or act, and whose
torling qualities were recognized by all with
whom he came in contact.
“Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the relatives and devoted
friends of our deceased brother, and com
mend them to the care of the Great Father,
who doeth all things wisely and well; and
be it further
“Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be spread upon the minutes and be
come a part of the permanent records of
this camp, and that our charter be draped
for a period of thirty days as a mark of
respect.”

For myself and the others who loved my
boy, I thank those who have been so kind
to us in this bitter hour.
