The accidental death of Thomas
Barkley at Kenneeott was more sad in
that he came here to bury his brother,
and had been in town but a few days
I before and was qualified as adminis
trator. He little dreamed as he stood
beside the grave as his brother was
being buried that lie would soon be
lowered in a grave beside him. —Me - j

Tom Tamaree and wife arrived in
i Wrangell recently. Mr. Tamaree is
i the watchman at the Garnet ledge at
• the mouth of the Stikine. Saturday
night a pack of hungry wolves sur
rounded his residence. Tamaree used
his rifle freely, but was unable to
V
frighten the wolves away any dist
ance. On Sunday tin* gas boat Irene
B came along and Mr. and Mrs.1
Tamaree took passage to Wrangell,
leaving the Garnet in charge of
the wolves.—Wrangell Sentinel.
Thai an epidemic of whooping
I cough has been prevalent at Fort Yu
kon for the past two months, and that
several native children have died of
the disease, is the statement made by
Deputy Marshal T. K. Winecofl*. of
Fort Yukon, in his regular monthly
report for February to the marshal’s
| office. The report also states that the
j country in the vicinity of Fort Yu
kon has been overrun this winter by
a large band of wolves, which have
been devouring the game, making it
difficult for the Indians to procure
game animals for food.
An Indian woman was in police
court a few mornings ago with the
charge of having cultivated a red one
against her. She argued that, in view
of the fact that she was married to a
\
white man, she had all the privileges
of the pale-faced sisters. Hut owing
! to the fact that she took her husband
into her tribe instead of him taking
her away from it, the court ruled that
she was still an Indian with no lights
to look upon oil of joy when it rears
up on its hind legs in a “glaws, don
cherknow.” She was retired to the
lonesome house for five days. It was
‘ the first time a local court had been
i
: called upon to decide the social status
of an Indian woman married to in
j
white man, but living in the environ-1
’merits of her childhood.—Douglas!
