SIGNAL CORPS
MAN FROZEN
Overtaken in Blizzard, He Suc
cumbs and His Companion
Taps Wire to Send News.
William R. Bonney of the United
States Signal Service, stationed on the i
Yukon, is reported frozen to death
near Tolovana vester day. Tolovana
is between Fort Gibbon and Fairbanks.
Bonney in ompauy with his partner
John F. Roberts went out to make re
pairs on the telegraph line, and were
overtaken by a blizzard. The line
runs along the river, but there is no
trail. In the blinding snow storm
travel became very difficult. In addi
tion to this the temperature fell rapid
ly and it became impossible to make
headway. After vainly attempting to
reach shelter, Bonney's body grew so
benumbed with the cold that he coul 1
go no farther. Roberts placed him on
the sled and pushed on in the storm as
fast as he could. Before he had gone
far he found that his companion’s body
was frozen stiff. He then cut into the
wire and sent the news to the nearest
station. lie himself was so overcome
by the cold that he was only able to
send the scantest details. As soon as
the news reached a station a rescuing
party was dispatched to line! the men,
but it is feared that both would he
frozen to death before assistance could
reach them.

who had spent ten days in Seward,

INQUEST HELD
DV I HASS
Evidence Shows Prisoner Had No
Weapon When Admitted to
Jail. Guards Accused.
«y cable Dally Gateway,
San Francisco, Nov. 20—The coro
ner’s inquest over the body of Morris
Hass, who attempted to assassinate
Prosecuting Attorney Francis J.
Heney, and who later shot himself,
reveals the fact that there exists con
siderable friction between the different
factions. The police, the grafters and
the prosecution are at variance. The
evidence submitted at the inquest goes
to show that Hass did not have a re
volver in his possession when he was
admitted to the jail. The police tes
tified that Hass was thoroughly search
el from head to foot before he was
turned over to the jailers, and that he
possessed no weapon of any kind.
Detective Burns today filed charges
against the guards who were in charge
of Hass when he shot himself, They
are accused of being derelict in duty
in permitting Hass to take his own
life.
