Once Welzl says, he himself had
an unpleasant experience because
he tried to do a kindness to another
northern trader. This man passed
Welzl’s place on his way to a dis
tant trading post, and asked if he
might leave a number of boxes of
merchandise with him until he re
turned. Welzl assented and put
the boxes in his cave. Later, when
th eman did not come back, Welzl
got curious and examined the mer
chandise. To his horror, he found
that it consisted of tins of boot
leg liquor of the worst sort. If
his neighbors should find this in his
cave, Welzl knew, he himself would
be executed, as he was a trader,
and there was small chance that
his alibi would be accepted. Fur
thermore, he was often away for
weeks at a time, and the liquor
might be discovered at any time.
In the end he managed to get it
all destroyed undetected. But until
the job had been finished he had
some anxious hours.
* * * *
A Washington Sunday newspa
per recently gave considerable
space to an illustrated article en-!
titled “Where bootleggers are hang
ed, shot or burned to death.” The
incidents set forth were from a
book recently published by Jen
Welzel, entitled “Thirty Years in
the Golden North”, and aims to de
pict some stirring chapters on Arc
tic justice as administered in Sibe
ria principally, and northern Alas- !
ka. The newspaper states that the |
book seems destined to start a good j
deal of controversy. Vilhalmer
Stefansscn, famous Arctic explorer,
has declared that it contains many
false statements and asserts he be
lieves it to be a hoax. Other Arc
tic experts, however, have warmly
defended it, and the publishers
have stood by its authenticity. The j
book will no doubt prove quite il- j
luminating to Judge Lester O. Gore i
and other minions of the law in the :
Second division.
At one time, Welzel says, he serv
ed on a jury which tried an Amer- j
ican blind tiger, it happened that i
two of the jurors voted against the*
death penalty, although the man’s •
guilt was obvious. When the head!
juryman announced the decision, i
he added: “The two bad jurymen
will immediately be burned alive.”
This was done, and the blind tiger
was shot to death. Brief though
these trials are, they are usually
dispensed with, Welzel says, when
the prisoner has fired at his pur
suers during the fight. In such
cases the man is simply lashed to
his sled, drenched with benzine and
set afire as soon as he is overpow
ered, wit hno formality atal\ Now
and then the polar settlers will be
warned, by friends in some such
northern city as Nome ,Alaska, that
a blind tiger or bandit is coming
into their neighborhood. They will
be unable to proceed at once
against the man because he has,
as yet, committed no crime; but
they do not care to wait until some
one has been robbed, poisoned or
murdered before acting. So they
send some one to the man and
warn him to leave the district at
once, and at the same time word is
sent to trappers and Eskimos that
any one who finds the man in the
neighborhood 24 hours after he has
been warned to leave may shoot
him on sight. “That,” remarks
Welzel, “practically amounts to a
sentence of death, because there
are often terrific blizzards or spells
of frost which prevent the man
getting any distance away.
