ing the report is authentic that the cases
against them has heen dismissed.
Spent a Night in Jail.
When Knapp was arrested Hudson
went to jail in order that hond could lie
made for Knapp. It was understood
between Hudson and hie bondsmen that
if cases came so thick hail could not he
made for all Hudson was to he the first
to go to jail. Men from Little Minook
brought in the dust and secured his re
lease next day.
Men on the creeks tried hard to sluice
so as to have money for others who
might be taken; hut it was no use, the
weather was too cold. One string of
Ihixcs on Little Minook filled with ice
pillars of ice extended from the boxes to
the glacier-covered ground.
May Not Go Right Away.
It had been expected that the accused
people would he in readiness to leave on
the first boat for Fairbanks. This morn
ing, however, a postponement is talked
of. The amount of bond money tied up
makes it bad ; the camp needs it.
Wore Was Expected.
When it whs known that Deputy
Drake ha«l pint' across the divide last
Friday it was conjectured that lie would
invite a miinhcr to come home with
him; hut it stems lie only went over to
have a eoiitidential talk with Jerome
Chute about tobacco.

MAN DROWNS
Trying to Save His Wood Near the
Mouth of Tolovana—Name
Was Sullivan.
Commissioner Ballou received a mes
sage from Marshal Berry, dated Fair
banks, May 1-5, stating that a man
named Mike Sullivan at a wood camp
near the mouth of Tolovana was reported
missing and was supposed to have fallen
in tin* river while trying to save his
wood. The body was not found.
At lirst it was thought in Kampart
that the man referred to was Michael
Joseph Sullivan, the hunter, trapper
and prospector who is known far and
near and who has long been the butt for
jokes by newspapers and individuals in
a large territory. Inquiry elicits the
information, however, that it is very
improbable he was in the vicinity of the
accident, and that he was in no way
connected with a wood camp.
It is also said a man named Sullivan
was with Dan Cardan cutting wood six
miles from mouth of Tolnvana, and he
is probably the man supposed to be
drowned.
HAWKES IS DEAD
Reported Insane and Only Lived a
Week—Full Particulars of the
Case Not Learned.
('. I., llawkcs, the man who was re
ported to be insane at the mouth of the
Baker creek slough May 0, died Monday
morning, May 111.
At the time the man's condition was
tirst reported the trail was such that
Deputy Marshal Drake could not go
over from Kampart; so after much tele
graphing it was dechled to send a dep
uty from Fairbanks to take the unfort
unate man to that place. It is known
that Deputy l’hil North had come dow n,
and lie may have taken llawkcs into
custody. Vnywuy, it was re|s>rted by
wire Monday that the man died six
miles from lb>t Springs that morning.
