EVERETT TILLMAN MS
MM ESCAPt Fid
DEATH INI FT, FAIL
Escaping death Saturday by
only a miracle, Everett Tillman,
who left on Friday’s train to ac
company Mel Horner to his min
ing property on Lake Kenai, was
brought into town Saturday even
ing suffering from injuries sus
tained in a fall of about 200 feet
on the face of the steep mountain
side on which the Horner mine is
located.
Details of the accident are quite
meager According to Mel Horn
er, who was in a stope inside the
portal of the mine gathering ore
specimens, just at the .time of the
accident’s occurance, he heard
what sounded like a rock or snow
slide. A little later he heard a
voice calling for aid. Dropping
all work. Mr. Horner rushed out
and found Tillman in a very bad
condition and he started at once
,to take Tillman to his cabin. The
i cabin is located a short distance
from the mine, and here he ren
dered first aid.
Mr. Horner then took Tillman
down to the lake where a boat
I was secured to take the injured
| man to Mile 18 to connect with
an automobile which brought
them into Seward to the Seward
General Hospital where the
wounds were given medical at
tention- Tlie arrival at the hos
pital was none too soon for traces
of blood poisoning had already
set in. The injuries were confin
ed chiefly to the hands and severe
gashes on the knee. It is not
known whether the knee cap is
shattered. An X-ray was to be
taken to determine this.
It is thought that Tillman, who
was doing some work above the
mine entrance, slipped on the
newly fallen snow and* plunged
down the hillside. Had he fallen
a few feet more he would have
been precipitated into space and
a sheer drop of about 300 feet, to
certain death \

MOYLE FACING CHARGE
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12. (/P)—Don
Moyle and Cecil Allen, trans-Pa
cific aviators who were lost in the
vast expanse of the Pacific and
then found again on an island near
Siberia, landed at Grand Temple
airport, near here, Sunday.
Six Army ships escorted them to
a landing. Moyle and Allen were
presented with a consolation prize
of $2500. Moyle will appear Tues
day in court to an old drunken
driving charge.
Editor’s Note — Moyle explained,
to the Fairbanks News-Miner that
he was not drunk on the occasion
cited. He was merely rounding a
corner on a wet, slippery road, when
a tire blew out and he drove into
a parked car. It happened that
the only woman judge in Los An
geles had just gotten out of the
parked car and as a result he was
cited to appear in court. Moyle
plead guilty so as not to delay
their getting started on the trans
; Pacific hop. If he had plead not
guilty, it might have been neces
; sary to postpone the hop until next
year.
