CONNOLLY TELLS
Sick Woman, Who Made Same
Trip With Him, Made No
Complaint—He Beefs.
J. 15. Connolly, who passed
through here some lime ago, and
who was pinched for heating a
Fairbanks merchant, hid was
bailed out by Tom Aiken, and the
same individual who left Valdez
without paying his fare on the
McIntosh stage, tells a wonderful
tale of hardships.
The story appeared in the St.
Paul papers and purports to be
an interview with Connolly. Mrs.
Williams, who made the trip on
the same stage as Connolly, is
, now back at Rochester, Minn.,
under the care of Mayo brothers
undergoing an operation. She
made no complaint about the trip:
When J. 15. Connolly, of Ruby
camp, Alaska, reaches his old
home in Halifax. X. S., after
spending 15 years in I he Klon
dike, he will become a rival of
Rex Beach. Mr. Connolly was in
the city yesterday oil his way
Fast, and, in an interview, told
several of his thrilling experien
ces and said lie shorlly would pul
them in a book.
‘‘I see Unit Rex Beach has won
fame by w riting of I ho Klondike,”
said Mr. Connolly. ”1 have read
some of his hooks and can beat
him a mile without using any fic
tion. I intend In write of a few
of my experiences in the frozen
north for magazines, and. if these
articles are successful. I can sup
ply dozens.*’
Mr. Connolly gave a graphic
description of a blizzard on the
Valdez trail in Thompson Pass, in
which tie and ten companions
were nearly frozen to death on j
January to this year. A storm !
which came up sudednly maroon
ed the parly in a narrow gulch,
and during Ihr night four of their
horses were frozen to death.
Pushing ahead in the morning,
with the blizzard still raging, il
look the party eight hours to
travel seven miles. As three of
I lie men with Connolly were Irv
ing lo ge| their bearings they fell
from, a precipice. Inrned three J
I imes in I he air and lil mi injur- j
ed in n deep snow bank. A worn- 1
