BETHEL TRADER BRINGS WORD OF
j TBADGEOY ON LOWER KOSKOKWIM
♦
Frank Joaquin, trader at Bethel and
Takotna, arrived last night after an
800 mile journey overland, and is at
the Seward hotel. He brings word of
the death of “Cinnabar" McDonnell,
well known old timer in the Kusko-,
kwim, who was caught on the trail in
I
January, the night of the eclipse of j
the moon, fell into an overflow' in thej
dark and was nine days in reaching
aid.
Five gallons of coal oil were used]
in thawing out his hands, feet and;
face, but he bad been out in 60 below,
zero weather and the frost had affect
ed his lungs. He lived six days after
he was found, four of which were
spent on the trail, he being taken by
dog sled to Aniak where he died
shortly after medical aid arrived from
lditarod.
Joaquin says that the natives
around Bethel are in a bad way as a
result of the order prohibiting the
trapping of marten.
“The natives depended upon marten
skins to pay for the flour and sugar
ami have not figured out as yet how
to get along as they received no aid
from the government this winter,”
said Joaquin.
Joaquin is enroute outside and will |
return during the summer by boat to
Bethel.
The following story of the freezing
of McDonnell was printed at Iditarod
before he died:
IDITAROD. — Duncan McDonnell, |
familiarly known all over this section t
as “Cinnabar” McDonnell, was so tear
fully frozen during the recent cold |
spell on the trail between Hear creek
and Ophir creek, on the lower Ivusko
kwim, that his life is despaired of,
ami even if he survives he will be
practically helpless.
This was the story brought to Flat
on January ID by Arthur Willis, who
came through by dog team from
Aniak, where McDonnell had been
taken almost without stop, in order to
procure medical assistance lor the
stricken man, who was sulFering ter
ribly. After hurried preparations, Dr.
Moore, accompanied by Duke E.
Stubbs, left for Aniak last night. Mr.
Willis brought word that Mr. McDon
nell was being cared for by Mrs.
Stubbs at Aniak, and that everything
possible was being done for him un
der the circumstances.
It appears from the few details ob
tainable last night that McDonnell was
traveling from Bear creek during the
recent severely cold weather and was
caught by the storm. What really
happened was not learned, but he was
lost for nine days, and when he finally
succeeded in reaching a human habi
tation, by crawling on his hands and
knees, he was in a most pitiful condi
tion. It was stated that his tongue
was frozen to his teeth and his hands
and feet also were frozen.
McDonnell is a well known resident
of the Kuskokwim district, where he
has resided for many years. He
makes his home at or near Bethel, and
is interested in quartz properties near
KolmakofT, among which are some
cinnabar propositions from which his
sobriquet is obtained.—(Iditarod
Pioneer.)

EPISCOPALIANS !
HERE ADD TO
PENSION FUND
A very substantial offering was
given at the St. Peter’s Episocpal
church yesterday toward the church
pension fund of the Episcopal church
at large. Rev. George John Zinn held
services morning and evening.
A fund of $5,000,000 is being raised
for the purpose of paying pensions to
all the clergymen of the Episcopal
church when they reach the retire
ment age which is 68 years. A mini
mum pension of $600 will be paid an
annually to each clergyman, and those
clergymen who have received an
average annual salary of over $1200
per year during their life of service,
will receive one-half the amount of
their average annual salary.
This pension system has been the
development of a number of years of
preparation and it will be put into
effect on the 1st of March this year
and from this time on the clergymen
or clergymen’s widows and dependents
will receive the benefits of the pen
.
sion.
