CASH IS GETTING ,
Sl/ORT AT NEN VNA
NKNANA. Nov. 1.—J. Casson
Williams, assistant disbursing of
ficer of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, with headquarters at
Fairbanks, arrived here this morning
with $15,000 in gold and currency
brought for the purpose of paying oil*,
the employees of the commission for'
their work during the month of Octo-|
her and to alleviate the general cash
shortage here. The money arrived J
at an opportune time, as it was next,
to impossible to cash a check in any!
of the mercantile houses in town or
at commission headquarters here,
owing to the prevalent shortage of
cash, in fact, practically all of the
mercantile houses found themselves
stacked up with the Engineering
i commission checks at the close ofj
navigation, the cash having all been
i carried away by those who cashed j
I the checks.
Mr. Williams left Fairbanks on
Monday. He made the trip with the

making its first trip of the season.
The trail between Fairbanks ami
Xenana is reported to be fairly good,

BOY KILLED IN SHAFT
One of the saddest accidents that
lias occurred in this section for some
time took^place Saturday afternoon at
Monroeville when the seven years old
son of Mr. ami Mrs. Otto W. Olson
fell to the bottom of a fifty-live foot
shaft on the ground worked by his
father, receiving such serious injuries
that death came to his relief shortly
before noon Sunday.
Medical aid was summoned im
mediately after the accident and the
injured child was hurried to Holy
Cross hospital where he was given
all possible attention. An examina
tion disclosed that one limb was
badly shattered in the fearful plunge
and the small body was terribly
bruised. The child is said to have
borne his injuries with remarkable
heroism from the time he was picked
up at the bottom of the shaft until
he expired. The boy is said to have
been playing near the top of the shaft
at the time of the accident and in
some manner slipped between the
dump rails which are placed across
the shaft opening. There was a small
amount of water at the bottom of the
deep hole but scarcely enough to
break the fall except in a trifling de
gree. The shattered limb is thought
to have struck the iron rails running
across the bottom of the shafe from
the drifts on each side.—Nome Nug

FORMER DAMSON LAD

son of Charles Putnam, formerly well
known clothing dealer in Dawson.
The father is a partner in Vancouver
with Walter Hamilton, formerly of

ONE WAY TO GET THE LICE
Not long ago a man from the low
er river was telling of an ingenious
method some of the Indians have for
getting rid of lice. Ordinarily the
man is a person of truth and veracity
hut the story was told to a cheeehako.
When this tribe of Indians find the
lice too thick for comfort they take
off their clothing and burn it if it is
of little value. Then each Indian
takes a hollow straw in his mouth
and wades out until just the whisp
of grass is above the water. He
breaths through the straw.
The lice, in the meantime, in or
der to escape the water, have crawl
ed upward as the warrior entered tin*
water. When they are all on the
straw the Inlian ducks under water
and away goes the grass with its bur
den of lice down the river.—The Tat
tler in Alaska Citizen.
