Jerry Sullivan arrived yesterday af
ternoon from the Kougarok, the first
to begin and the last to abandon the
search for the missing Conrad Freed
ing, whose fate is probably sealed be
neath the drifts in some gulch near a
creek head and not far from the
Springs. The story told by Sullivan
is an Alaskan epic to which no pen
can do justice in the earnest effort of
the hardy Ivougarokers to render suc
cor if possible to, or to discover the
remains of the lost man. Jerry' and
Hastings had been doing assessment
work on Humboldt creek and they
reached the Springs where Mrs.
Freeding and her little girl were stay
ing. Freeding had left some six days
before for Taylor and was to have re
turned with a dog team to bring them
to Taylor, also. Mrs. Freeding asked
Jerry if he wouldn’t take them to Tay
lor, but he thought it might be too
cold for the girl and as they had not
many dogs it might be harder for
them than she believed. However.
Jerry gave Hastings two dogs while
he left with the rest of his team
breaking trail for them. It was 46
below and blowing some when they set
out. Sullivan noticed skii tracks and
later foot marks on the snow crossing
the creeks as he went along to Taylor
with his team breaking trail for Hast
ings. As he reached Bob Belcher’s
cabin on Macklin creek, he asked Bel
cher if Freeding had passed, but Bel
cher told him no. Then Sullivan be
came doubt for Freeding’s fate for the
first time, and he waited for Hastings
to come up, and when the latter did,
i he told him without mentioning his
fears to hurry on to Taylor without
stopping. At Taylor they learned the
fatal truth of the man being lost. Im
mediately a search was organized.
Mike Kennedy, John Lands, Bob Wells
and another took up the search around
Taylor, Charlie Nelson went up to
Dick Stapleton’s and Dick notified
Paddy Carrol who went to Paddy
Flynn, Bob Johnston and Bloomberg
and many others.. Each party had
a separate section which was system
j atically searched, each meeting at an
I assigned place to make report. Neith
er cold nor darkness nor food short
age interfered with the tireless, self
sacrificing search of these men who
followed every little track or trail.
They found his skiis, they located
where lie had gone close to and backed
off from an overflow, where he had
stayed two nights in an abandoned ig
loo was built by Fisher Balbridge,
they followed where he had climbed a
high, steep mountain, five miles from
the Springs where he had taken his
bearings and followed a straight com
pass line almost due west until he
came within 2,000 feet of the springs
and safety, but lost himself again
when he turned to the left instead of
keeping to the right just across a
slight divide. They traced his tracks
down the river to where he had gone
' on foot into a thick clump of willows
| —these fine, tireless, thoughtful, fear
J less men whose unremitting services
for their fellow man without any hope
of reward save to make a heavy heart
lighter, makes every Alaskan proud.
Jerry Sullivan says that the snow has
drifted off all the hillsides and left
them bare with only the gulches deep
with snow. It is believed that it is in
some of these that Conrad Freeding is
lying where he finally gave in from
sheer exhaustion.—Nome Nugget.

TALKEETNA, March 11.—A snow
fall of about a foot on Friday, fol
lowed by a cold snap, the thermometer
dropping to 20 below today, makes the
mushing good for travelers. All are
expecting an early spring season here,
as this snap is considered the last of
the winter season.
Lynx are plentiful in this section.
Skins are coming in nearly every day.
The Nagley store has a number of nice
ones, brought here by Mrs. Larson, a
native woman. «
Jack Ferguson and Tom Owens are
outfitting here for a prospecting trip .
to the Ifon creek region.
The outlook here for a lively season
is very promising. The road to Iron
creek is almost assured and the proba
ble parking of Mt. McKinley, and the .
proposed short route from here to the
Cache creek country means much to
ward making Talkeetna a busy center.
