STORY IN TRUE STORY MAG
AZINE UNTRUE, ASSERTS
JOHN BESS HOWE
___
. It is altogether fitting that inas
much the Gateway was first to
give to the world the story of John
Bess Howe, Ninilchick school tea
cher who last winter accidently
i shot herself in the abdomen, and
only after great difficulty was
word sent out, her rescue from the
isolated Westward village-via dog
teams, plane and boat—and after
a number of operations her life
spared, that this paper should be
given the opportunity to correct
a rumor making the rounds for '
months past.
Many read a ridiculous story ap
pearing some months ago pur
ported to have been her Alaskan
experiences. The press of Alaskaa
has commented on it in unfavor
able terms; and rightly so. In a
letter just received—which fol
lows—Miss Howe gives out her
first statement regarding that
story which she had nothing to do
with and never heard of it until
Alaskan friends directed her at
tention to it.
Editor cl' the Seward Gateway:— I
“I must ask as a favor of you for
the benefit of my Alaskan friends]
tire whole of Alaska and in jus
tice to myself. Mr. Walter Katoff ■
and Mrs. R. B. Woolverton have
been kind enough to tell me that
the Alaskan public in general be- j
lieve that I received a $1,000 prise
for an untrue story published in |
the August True Story Magazine.
With much difficulty I found that
magazine and read a part of that
story.
“It can be plainly seen that the
author had never been to Alaska
or she would not publish a state
ment so impossible as boarding a
train in Southern California and
Stepping off in Juneau. Years
hence it may be made possible
for men to travel up the coast in
a Ford but now such an assertion
is not only absurd but ridiculous.
“Some parts of the story may
have been based on my experienc
es but I want to say to all the peo
ple of Alaska and especially my
very good friends and to every
one who made my untimely suffer
ing easier to bear that I have not
written an account of my exper
iences nor have I given any one j
permission to do so. Anything
that refers to it has been stolen
for its interest and I promise you
it shall be investigated at once, j
“It was my desire to return to
much as the Gateway first gave
to the world the story of John
Bess Howe, Ninilchick school tea
Ninilchik and complete my work
there this year but I found it im
possible to do so against the ad
vice of my physician and with
the consent of my parents which
I can not gain until at least
another year has been allowed
for a complete recovery.
“Mr. Jessen, It will be kind if
you will give my statement to the
people of the North that they may
not be allowed to think ill of me
for which I am not responsible.
Yours very sincerely, John Bess
Howe, Seymour, Texas.”
