DEPUTY MARSHAL

BELIEVED LOST
Deputy Marshal \V. \V. Getohell
o* the local Marshal’s force, who
left Nome the latter part of July
on the Silver Wave for Teller, en
route to the Kouearok section on
ofhcial business in connection with
s« reins; notice of judgment against
the Kelliher dredging property on
Taylor Creek. is believed to
have wandered in the wrong di
j lection and become lost.
■ James Kelliher. the well known
I Kougarok mining man. made a
! hurried trip to Nome, arriving here
I Wednesday and reported the mat
i ter to the l\ S. Marshal's office,
j Immediately Commissioner C. W.
I Thornton detailed two men. Alfred
1 Hansen and Pete Bloomberg, who
are both well acquainted with that
section of the country to go in
starch of Deputy Getchell. Both
men left Thursday via the Kou
garok Railroad for Shelton on the
Alaska Road Commission speeder.
They will proceed to Kelliher's
camp where they will interview
th*' men there. Arrangements have
In en made whereby Mr. Kelliher
‘•ill outfit the men with supplies
front It is camp. They will prob
ably then proceed down the Ser
in mine River valley in an effort to
pick up some trace of the missing
tc the Nugget by Mr. Kelliher:
Deputy Marshal Getchell arrived
at the Kelliher ramp on Taylor
Creek, from Nome, on the after
noon of July 27th., and posted his
official notices on the property
which was to be sold ten days af
ter the posting of the notices.
After remaining around camp un
til August 1st., Getchell decided
1 v would spend a few days at the
Serpentine Hot Springs, ten miles
distant, and about three hours
walk, being accompanied on the
journey to the Springs by James
Corrigan, both men arrived there
Owing to Getchell’s having to
return to the Kelliher camp on
August 7th.. to sell the property—
the day being favorable—he left
the Hot Springs August 5th.. so
as to be there in plenty of time,
tut has not been seen or heard of
since. Mr. Kelliher states that
Mr. Corrigan, who was suffering
from rheumatism, left the Springs
r.n the sixth, and would have stay
ed longer had he had more pro
visions. On arriving at Kelliher’s
camp about six p. m.. August 6th..
Corrigan was surprised to learn
that Getchell had not arrived. Cor
rigan stated that on the way to
the Springs they had discussed
taking a short cut across country,
Getchell insisting on taking the
short route. Corrigan, however,
persuaded Getchell to follow the
old familiar trail around the James
and Lorraine Ditch line which
It ads in the direction of the
Springs. Corrigan states that the
. morning (Jetchell left he way iu
excellent health, and at 10 o’clock
[a m.t started off in the direction
[ of Kelliher’s camp, saying he was
, going to take the short route ac
ross country instead of the old
trail, to which Corrigan replied
that he had better uot go that way,
I •‘because you will be sorry after
Immediately after supper, the
same evening Corrigan arrived,
«<r. Kelliiier organized his rr« *
of men. and two horses, into a
searching party. The five men and
two horses, after working all day,
took up the search in the evening
and kept going for two days and
a night, notifying the miners along
the different creeks. On Macklin
Creek the Lorraine Brothers join
ed the searching party. Two men
crossed over to Dick Creek and
t'arvey Crant anti partners took
up the search. John Donovan was
also notified and he went across
country ten miles to the Ward
Copper Company's camp. Miss
Ward, who has a couple of men
working there. dispatched Den
Gillette to help locate the missing
n an. Ben journeyed down toward
tne Serpentine River but found no
trace of (Jetchell.
The searchers finally pave up
alter a careful and diligent search
covering a radius of 20 miles, fig
uring that if he had met with an
accident they would have found
him. They also came to the con
clusion that the number of hours
start he had. he must have kept
cn walking and would probably be
about 40 miles from them and it
would be useless for them to try
to overtake him. not knowing in
what direction he went.
Mr. Kelliher states that when
Getchell left his camp for the Hot
Springs, he gave Getchell a .22
calibre rifle and fifty rounds of
ammunition which he reluctantly
took with him. Ha had an extra
suit of underwear, but left his
re incoat at the camp. Mr. Kelli
her feels confident that Getchell is
still alive and will show up soon
|pt some coastal point. During the
three day’s search the entire min
i lug operations at the Kelliher
[camp were suspended and on ex
i pense was spared to assist In lo
! eating the missing deputy. The
wages of six men with an addi
tional day thrown in. were paid
to the searching party by Mr. Kel
liher. for the interest they display
ed In trying to locate Mr. Getchell.
It will be remembered by Nome
ites that a few years ago formei
Senator Freeding who was sojourn
ing at these Springs. attempted
to walk across country to Tayloi
Creek, a distance of ten miles. H*
became lost in a snow storm dur
ing the winter and perished. Hit
body was not found until the fol
lowing Spring after the snow had
all melted. __
