BILL1
Two Cirole City Prospectors Who
Disappeared in 1809, Attract
ing Attention of Officials.
Tlie word brought to Fairbanks
l/y Dr. Grafton Burke, of Fort
Yukon, to the effect that Joseph
i Geraghty, the Chandlar miner
who for a long time it was sup
posed had been murdered by In
dians, is alive and living on the
Arctic coast.
The first intimation to the ef
fect that Geraghty was still alive
was received in September from
J. E. Owens, the man who went
with Deputy Marshal Hansen ' to
bring down the body of J: I).
Clark, Geraghty's partner. Owens
wired that lie had been told that
Geraghty had been seen on the
Arctic coast, between Flaxinan
and Herschel islands and that lie
was living with some natives.
Alter the disappearance <>!
Clark and Geraghty suspicion was
directed against some Indians.
The men had left Caro, in the
Chandlar in the fall of 1909, go
ing up the east fork, and it was
supposed that they would be back
in the following summer. Nothing
was heard of either until the body
of Clark was found by a natn
on a bar. The remains were cov
ered with an old lent and some
brush. Some cooking utensils
were found and I wo or three emp
11y shells, but no guns were in evi
dence. There was no trace of
i Geraghty and il was supposed
11 hat lie also would be found dead
| at some other lime and place.
Robert John, a Chandlar In
dian, received it hearing on a
charge of having murdered Clark
and he was bound over to the
grand jury, but subsequently dis
jcharged. The possibility of Ger
jaghly still being alive has inject
ed new interest into tin- case and I
the federal authorities here will:
have the matter pruned within tin
limits of their jurisdiction.
A KANSAS BOY
KILLS HIS BROTHER
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 1 i.— j
McKinley Morris, 15 years old,!
was shot and fatally injured by i
his brother Lawrence, age Id, at
their home, in Kansas City, Kas.,
today. In a statement to the
county prosecutor, the mother of
the boys said the shooting was
accidental. j
She said the boys had engag
ed in a wrestling match, in which !
I In* younger boy was the victor,!
and when lie released his brother ■
he ran into the yard. Lawrence,1
she said, followed, and as he ran j
from the house lie playfully pick- !
ed up his rifle, which was dis
charged by accident, the bullet
striking his brother in the back. |
A warrant for the older hoy’s j
arrest was issued, but the police j
reported that he had tied across j
tile Missouri line. . I
NO LOAN FOR TURKEY; j
SITUATION IS TOO RISKY |
London, Jan. I i.--The widely ■
published report that Turkey has!
succeeded in negotialing a loan
in London is discredited here. It >
was rumored that a number of
Mrilisli hankers had consented
lo lend I lie Olloman government
s I 00,(mil,lion oil condition that
Turkey would grant autonomous ,
government to the Hebrews in,
Palest ille.
It is pointed out I hat I lie Olio- j
man government has been trying!
to Ileal short-term treasury bills ,
hearing high interest. 1ml these ,
ell'orls have not met with much |
I
success, ruder these circumstan
ces, hankers here consider that a
Turkish loan would have lit tie
chance. The situation seems to j
he that Turkey has been told she j
will lie financed when peace has j
been concluded, Imt that no funds i
will he forthcoming until then. j

THE SOUL GOWN 18
THE LATEST SENSATION
Washington, 1). C., Jan. 14—
“Peggy” Perin as Miss Margaret
Perin, daughter of George Perin,
of London and Washington, is
called, has introduced the “soul
gown” into capital society.
The “soul gown” is creating a
sensation and Miss Perin, a de
butante of the season, is kepi
busy displaying these tempera
mental costumes designed after
tli,' themes of famous musical
compositions and poems. Recent- j
ly Miss Perin wore to the Rich
ard Reid Rogers dance a creation
nf soft corn colored satin shaded
into the softest pink. It repre
sented Mendelssohn's "Spring
Song." The entire costume was
swathed in lace. With her boau
I iful complexion and black hair, j
it made her seem the incarnation
of spring and youth. Another fa
vorite costume is one she calls
her Helen of Troy gown. It is
made in Grecian fashion of cerise
crepe meteor trimmed with bands
of pink and gold.
