Mr. Shonberg hud been sworn in to
pursue Gus Johnson and Otto Greenfus.
who had left the camp owing a bill to
John Morrow. Shortly after starting
the deputy crossed a river which lie
believed to be the Tolstoy, but it was
really a bend in the Iunoko, and tints
lie lost liis way. For ten days lie wan
dered about without grub, on one oc
casion killing a porcupine and endeav
oring to drink the blood. Ho was too
weak at last to move, when a scow
providentially came along and rescued
him.
The fugitives were eventually caught
at Takotna and taken bark to Ophir
City for trial. When charged, the men
came to the conclusion that it was
better to pay up their indebtedness,
and it turned out that they had a con
siderable amount of money cached on a
claim ott Yankee creek. They were
further condensed to pay the deputy
marshal's expenses, so their excursion
turned out a bad investment.
It is said that when questioned they
gave as their reason for attempting to
evade payment that Mr. Morrow had
more money than they had. If sue!)
an argument becomes general the
Alaskan merchant's position will soon
be decidedly precarious.
