# The following letter vas received
a few days ago by ex-Governor L**e
dy from an old mother whose only
son is now in town and lias been
la-re for the past year hut has In
come ao dcpruvtd and so forgetful
of his dear old parents that he will
not write to them. Such men are
contemptible and mean, anil
not tit to live among res|n>cttthle
jteople and should be relegated to
tin* hills of the si washes. For only
three dollars this man could send
one of tin* Valdez newspapers to
his pan*n's and this would give
tin m an idea of his whcrcaloiuts
and ilu* conditions of the country
in Whlrli hr livrs :
New ton, Kansu.', Nov. 16, 15(02.
Gov. J. \V. Uvdv, Valdez, Alaska.
Sir:—1 write to you because
yours is the only name 1 know in
ilia- couii.iy. i wro.t o others
hut revet eii no answer, aad now 1
write to you. I wri e in regard to
our son, our only bov, who wrote
us from Valdez the 12th of last
April. We are so anxious alaiut
him. His name is.and
1 know lie is known there. Do
please find out if anything has
hapjiened to him, ns there surely
has or lie would write. I, who am
his mother, feel as if I cannot en
dure this susjiense much longer.
We arc old and o*.r daughters are
married ami hi is all that is left.
He wan is 1 to ge. rich and went
away. Would to Hod that he
would come home. 1 hate to troub
le jieople, but don’t know what to
do. The months are so lung and
we read of so many accidents and
calamities. Picasc let us hear
something, as you would want to
hear from your boy if he was away.
God help and bless you, is the wish
of an old mother.
Homer Bird, the convicted mur
derer of J. H.Harland, must either
hang or receive a pardon from
President Roosevelt. The Su
preme Court has affirmed the de
cision of the lower court.
The case is well known. Bird
went up the Yukon in 1900 in
coui|>any with three men and one
woman. The woman claimed to
be Bi.d’s wife, hut was not. Bird
became jealous of bis other com
panions and also desired to secure
mcir interest in me outni nnu me
steam launch in which they trav
eled. Bird killed two of his com
panions and wounded the third by
shooting them in the back. The
wounded man suffered all winter,
and was kept secluded by Bird.
Filially a missionary got him away
on a sled to a mission hospital, and
then got bis story. Bird was ar
