At Rapids—Body Found By
Mushers—Horse Missing.
Lieut. Dougherty, chief signal of
ficer in charge or the military cabi“
and telegraph lines, received word
this morning from Donnelly’s that
Francis E. Johnson, one of the op
erators stationed at the interior sta
tion, had been found dead on the
trail by two Nome prospectors who
were traveling to the coast.
Johnson had started from his sta
tion to the relief cabin to install a
new stove which was needed at the
cabin. He left with a horse and sled.
The horse has not been found. John
son was found near the trail and had
fallen into the lake and been frozen
to death after pulling himself from
the water.
The relief cabin is at the Rapids.
It is maintained by the military au
thorities for the aid of travelers and
for the men employed in keeping the
line open. Hundreds of mushers have
found safety in it and the stove hav
ing been burned out a new one was
ordered put in.
Johnson received the commenda
tion of the inspecting officer of Alas
ka for brave conduct at Circle City
during the flood last spring, when
the ice jam flooded the town and
threatened many lives besides de
stroying considerable property.
