TWO PROMINENT
NATIVES DIE
OF THE FLU
During the recent influenza epi
demic among the Copper river Indians
two well known Indians, Doc. Billum
and Tanana Jack died from the di
sease. Both passed on to the happy
hunting grounds within a few days
after stricken.
“Doc Rillum, the medicine man of
the tribe, had been well known since
the days of ’t>8 throughout all Soutl’ (
Central Alaska. His characteristic
costume consisted of a pair of blue
denim overhauls, a red flannel shiit
worn outside bis trousers in Prince
Albert fashion, and decollette at the
neck. This grotesque effect was ac
centuated by the wearing of a high j
silk plug hat, donated to Doc by a
chcechako ’98er, on a head covered
with shining, straight black hair
reaching to his shoulders.
“He was a kindly Indian of pro
nounced Copper River Indian type, of
rather dignified bearing, straightfor
ward and honest. Many who knew
; him. both whites and natives, sin
cerely mourn his death.
A Really Noble Red Man.
“Tannna Jack, the other victim of
influenza, was also a typical specimen,
his face conjugated by tho furrows of
i time, an ideal study of Indian type for
; the artist’s brush. His thick, gray hair
suggested great age. He was born on
the Tanana river, as bo himself used
to explain, ‘Mebby so purt’ near on«
hundred snows ago.” He was the fath
er of one of the present Copper River
chiefs. Big Jack.
“Tanana Jack was a sincere Chris
tian of the Greek Catholic faith,
scrupulously honest and of childlike
age h ' was mainly supported by the
•implicity. For years during his o! 1
age he was mainly supported by the
government through the representa
tives of the United States bureau of;
education. He was respected and af- i
fectionatnly regarded Ify the govern-1
ment representatives, who regret the
passing of this type of really noble
led man.
