1 In reporting the murder, the Fair-;
i hanks News-Miner, in its issue of May
i 5. states:
“A murder of most gruesome aspect
!
was disclosed when the body of How
ard Riding, proprietor of the Little
Chena roadhouse, was discovered this
morning, according to a report re
ceived at the marshal’s office here late
this afternoon. The report was
brought in by Martin L. Nelson, who
stopped at the roadhouse en route to
town.
!

It was stated by Mr. Nelson that he
entered the roadhouse, which is situ-j
ated 14 miles from town on the Little i
Chena trail, at 8:30 o’clock. He
found Riding’s body in a comer of the
dining room of the roadhouse, in the
midst of a pool of blood. The table
was spattered with blood, and the con
•* ,
dition to the room indicated a terrific
struggle. Mr. Nelson did not disturb
the body and so did not ascertain the ;
nature ofthe wounds.
The marshal’s office has informa-'
tion that leads to suspicion of a man
who is known recently to have been |
in the vicinity of the Little Chena, it j
is stated, and deputies are being sent!
out in search of him. An inquest will j
be held as soon as the necessary per- i
sonnel and witnesses can be sum
moned.
Howard Riding, popularly known
as “Slim,” had conducted the Little
Chena roadhouse for several years
and was a frequent visitor in Fair
banks. His summers usually were
spent in logging, as he had engaged in
river drives of timber for the local
say mills since the early days of this j
community.
