sriTOSEI) BODY OF
DFTCH MARIE LOST.
IDITAROD.—Owing to the negli
gence of the people who found the
body supposed to be that of Marie
Schmidt, the government has lost a
valuable link in the chain of evidence
against “Blueberry' Tommy” Johnson,
who is supposed to have killed Frank
Adams, “Fiddler John” Holmberg and
“Dutch Marie” Schmidt,” says the
Fairbanks Times. The body was
found early in the summer buried
near the bank of the Yukon river, and
during the midsummer flood was
washed away.

CORDOVA SENDS MAN TO
BOOST FOR RAILROAD.
Seward is Probably the only Town
Which Has Sent No One to
Fight for it.
Word has been received in Seward
that Cordova has sent a special re
presentative to Washington to present
the claims of that city as the terminal
for the government railroad. This
rather bears out what the Gateway
is saying in another place today that
many wires are now being pullet! by
various interests in various places for
the same purpose.
INDIANS USE LEFT
TO STOP BAYONETS.
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Dec. 23
A Canadian soldier who has visited
several hospitals in the south of Eng
land recently saw forty or fifty East
Indians all of whom had their left
hands bandaged. He asked one of the
Red Cross attendants how they all
receive the same sort of injuries.
•Alt of them have bayonet wounds
in the left hand, because of their
style of fighting,” was the reply.
“When they get close enough for a
hand-to-hand fight they throw down
their guns, parry the bayonets of the
enemy \\ ith their left hand and use
their knives with the right hand. Of
course they get a bad wound in their
left hand, but they don't mind that
and they almost always get their
man."
NEWS NOTES
R. S. Eskridge who is now' in the
city travelled seven hundred miles
over the trail on this trip. A trail has
no terrors for him, however as he
travelled alone up the Stewart river
and all over a great part of Alaska
before Dawson was discovered.
The name “Gamble’s” is a trade
nfark and wherever seen is a guaran
tee of wholesomeness and cleanliness.
