NELSON’S HORSE
BEHAVED BADLY
Smashed the Sled and Left its
Contents in the Snow.
Jack Nelson, with one of Heeter’s
horses drawing a raided a eous
load of personal effects, departed
for Tatiana last Friday at noon.
He was accompanied by Tommy
Young, who was to pilot the horse
back from Tanana. Friday night
was spent at Ed McCormick’s, 12
miles trom Rampart.
Saturday a party consisting of
Joe Walton, Joe Wilcox, Billy
Sipany, Charley Mayo and Mail
Carrier Bob Shaber was proceeding
up the river. I11 the afternoon
when they had reached a point
eight miles below McCormick’s
they met a strenuous piece of horse
flesh, encumbered by a demolished
sled, making fast time in the direc
tion of Tanana The horse refused ,
to stop or take ajiy notice of the
men whatever, but seemed in a
great hurry to reach some place1
farther down stream The men
found the trail strewn for a quarter
of a mile with male attire, horse
feed, and fragments of a large
trunk: and then came upon Nelson
and Young, collecting the wreck
age and carefully piling it in heaps.
While Young was walking be
hind and Nelson was driving, the
horse had bolted. The animal
has long been under the care ot
Sourdough Mike, who is noted lor
his gentleness of voice and m inner,
atiu must have received a shock
from some profane expression let 1
slip by Mr. Nelson.

HUNTER LOST
FOR MANY DAYS:
C. H. Allger and Boh Andrews
returned Saturday trom the head of
foulavana, where they have been 1
prospecting for some time.
During their stay in the Toula
vatia country Mr. Andrews had an
unlucky experience which he is not
likely to soon forget. With pro
visions for only two days, he set
■nit to hunt for moose. In tracking
the game he failed to sufficiently1
note the landmarks and became
lost.
His continued absence aroused
Mr. Allger’s fears, and he was
joined by John Minook, who is also
prospecting on Toulavana, in a
search for the missing man. As
sisted l>/ dogs, they followed An
drews’ tracks as well as thev could,
but the task was m ule difficult by
the man repeatedly doubling on his
trail. Andrews was finally found
not exceeding -ix hours' travel
from camp. He had l>een out eight
days. His bands were considera
bly frozen, his toes nipped, and he
was weak from hunger, for he had
killed nothing A few days’ com
man ion with the camp kettle rr
stored his usual vigor
