HUMAN ARM IS
RELIC OF DEATH
AT KILICKTARIK
UXALAKLEET.— (Special.) — The
Bering sea ice claimed another victim
in December. V. Lawrence, who
passed through here for St. Michaels
upon on the first, and who later left
St. Michaels for Nome, was caught in
the ice around Kilicktarik and that is
all that is known of him. Six of his
dogs with chewed tow line showed up.
Surmises are many but yours is as
good as mine. All that could be done
to learn or help was done.
A rumor reached here tonight (De
cember 21) that a partly eaten arm
was found close to Kilictarick. It is
supposed to be the arm of Lawrence.
His dogs may have lived upon the,
unfound bodv. Lawrence left St. Mi

NEW YORKER ALMOST
LOST BIG EAGLE,
THANKS TO FRIENDS
Jack Sawyer of New York, took a
trip the other day to the head of
Resurrection, covering a line of traps
and also in quest of a good specimen
of the bald eagle. After mushing in
the hills for the best part of the day,
he espied a huge American bird in a
tree top on a near by ledge. The shot
was a long one but he brought the
sought for to earth. This is where
his troubles began; the ascent to be
made to reach the carcass was so
steep that he leaned his gun against
a willow and started up unarmed.
When a dozen or so feet from the
quarry, it came to life and started
quite a battle. The ledge upon which
Sawyer was standing was so narrow
that several times in the encounter he
was afraid that the huge bird would
strike him and send him down to the
foot of the hill, a drop of npproxi-j
mately seventy-five or eighty feet.
He barely managed to make his way
to the bottom and returned with the
rifle to dispatch him.
The bird which weighed about forty
pounds and measured a good eight
and a half feet from tip to tip, pleased
Sawyer who packed it home intact.
He did not attempt to hide his elation
and some of the boys put their heads
together.
Before retiring that evening he
placed the carcass outside of his
window upon an adjoining roof of the
Northern hotel, preparatory to ship
ping it south to be mounted.
To his surprise and chagrin on re
turning to his room from breakfast,
the bin! had flown the coop, in other
words some one had copped it. With
out any hesitation whatever, Sawyer
began oiling up a pair of shooting
irons.
Chief Bob Guest, “the officer of the
day,** was brought in and made quite
a reputation for himself in the way he
I cleared up the case. Jim Mooney and
Harry Leyton were the parties cor
ailed. They had climbed over a
couple of house tops and made away
with the bird in question. Credit must
also be given Al Gray and Jim Mor
gan, for concocting a scheme where
by the culprits could be caught red
handed.
“Influence” kept Harry and Jim
from trying: out the free rooms in the
Fire house.

SHORTAGE OF FEED
FOR STOCK, REPORT
FROM FAIRBANKS
FAIRBANKS.— (Special.) — The
supply of feed in the camp is practi
cally exhausted. The unanimous ver
dict of the big grain and hay dealers
of the camp, early in February was
that both of these commodities are ex
tremely low. This condtiion is in no
way the fault of the dealers, it is
merely something unforseen, and that
there was no way of guarding
against. Every feed man in the camp
ordered more of both grain and hay
than has been ordered in the last sev
eral years. This was done to avoid
a shortage|
There hus been several contribut
ing factors to the present situation
that could not be foreseen. The most
important, is the unprecedented num
ber of horses that have been brought
into the camp since the close of navi
gation. One of the best posted stock
men in the community figures that
sixty-eight head have been brought in
up to the present time.

foreman of the Martin mines in
the Willow creek district, came down
from the mines on Feb. 13 with Henry
Burke and one other miner, who were
seriously hurt in an explosion that oc
curred early Monday morning. Burke
and his companion were placed in the
government hospital under Dr. Bea-i
son’s care immediately upon arrival in •
Anchorage. Dr. Beeson said that
Burke was seriously injured and
might possibly loose the sight of one
or both eyes as a result of the powder
burns. His companion received pain-i
ful burns on his left arm hut the in
juries are not serious. The explosion
occurred as the men were putting in
the clean-up shot on the night shift
and was caused when one of them
accidentally dropped a lighted fuse in
a box of caps.
