Bernard J. Noilly, former member
• •f the Nome Fire and Police Depart
ments and known to nearly everyone
in Nome, is lying in a cabin at Cape
Rodney in a seriously frozen condi
tion as a result of being compelled to
sleep outdoors during the height of a
severe storm encountered while on hl3
way to Sinrock a day or two ago, ac
cording to information brought to
town last night by Christ Gudmund
sun. Noilly left here Tuesday last
hound for Sinrock. The weather was
severely cold at the time but appar
ently all went well with the musher
until he reached a point about two or
miles from Cape Rodney. >..-re ac
cording to the story’ told by Gudmund
sun, Noilly’s dog team became unman
agable and refused to travel. Noil
ly then crawled into a sleeping i»u«
be carried and spent the night in the
cold sheltber thus provided. Appar
ently he remained in the bag about
twenty four hours before the storm
abated sufficiently to permit him to
reach tho shelter of a cabin situated
at the capo.

death by the Intense cold and the re
mainder arc said to have l»ecn severe
ly frost bitten. Neilly cut the live
one's loose and proceeded to the cabin,
leaving his sleeping bag behind. Gud
mundsun passed the cabin on his way
down from Sinrock with a sick native
woman in his sled yesterday but saw
no signs of Noilly's presence. After
proceeding a short distance down the
coast, he found the discarded sleep
ing bag and commenced an Investiga
tion which resulted in the finding of
the sled and several of the frozen dogs.
Gudmundsun then retraced his way to
the cabin at Cape Rodney and found
Neilly attempting to thaw out his froz
en fingers and toes.
As far as Gudmundsun could judge,
Noilly’s injuries are severe but not
extensive and appeared to be confined
to the ends (if his fingers and several
toes. Owing to having the native
woman as a passenger, Gudmundsun
was unable to bring the injured man
to Nome but made him as comfortable
as was iKissible under the circum
stances before resuming his journey
to town. On arrival, he at once noti
fied the authorities and arrangements
were made to send him back in com
pany with Leonard Seppala and a fast
dog team. The mushers departed for
the cape early this morning and are
expected to return some time this af
At n meeting held in the offices of
Judge I.M.nei. last event ;g th lcc.il
branch of the Territorial Council of
Defense took the preliminary stops
toward Nome’s participation in the
national memorial services to be held
on February 9th. in honor of the late
Theodore Roosevelt. Although little
has been heard in Nome regarding the
proposal to pay honor to the memory
of the former president by holding
nation wide memorial services, the
movement in this direction has made
wide progress, on the Outside.
The following telegram from the
headquarters of the Territorial Coun
cil* of Defense, quoting a message from'
the Seeie.tary of War in his capacity
ns Chairman of the Nation Council of
Defense, was read:
‘•By direction of the Secretary of
War, Chairman of the Council of
National Defense, I request all state,
county, community and municipal
Council’s of Defense comprising the
1X4,000 units of the Ccancil of Defense
system to do everything possible to
make a success of the nation-wide ar
rangements for Memorial services to
held simultaneously on February 9th.,
1919, the day of the proposed Memori
al services in Congress. It is asked
that you place yourselves in con
tact with the Governor of your State,
who has already received a telegram
from a non-partisan committee of
prominent citizens.
Because of the particularly non
partisan character of the great Coun
cil of National Defense, it is singul
arly fitting that the foregoing action
should be taken. The honoring of
Theodore Roosevelt is a matter that
transcends party belief and personal
prejudice. He lived greatly for Am
erica and that is enough to justfy ev
en those who opposed him in mourn
ing his death. With iron courage he
performed a major operation on the
public morals of his country at a
time when public ethics had become
dulled, and with daring and unfailing
dignity he measurably increased the
prestige of America abroad.
Of no American can it be more
truthfully said than this:
“His heart was incarnadined with
the Flag.”
For these things alone, all Ameri
cans who lived in his time should
hold themselves in his debt and should
turn aside on the ninth day of Feb
ruary, to honor his passing from the
national state.”
Pursuant to the telegram, Chair
man Polet appointed a committee to
prepare a suitable program and make

arrangements for holding services on
the designated date, which occurs on
the second Sunday of the coming
month. The personnel of the com
mittee is as follows: (J. J. Lomen,
Chairman; Lieutenant L. It. Kollock.
Hon. Wm. A. Holzheimer, Emmet lb
Jordan; Fred M. Ayer, J. A. Barthol
omew, D. E. Crowley and John A.
Wilson.
The committee will meet at the of
fices of Judge Lomcn at 2. p. m. Sun
day nfternooft to perfect organization
and outline arrangements.
In connection with other business
transacted, the Council elected Wm.
Webb to fill the vacancy in the of
fice of Secretary created by the de
parture and resultant resignation of
Representative Jas I*. Daly, and also
passed a resolution requesting Gover
nor Riggs to use his good offices to
ward securing an appropriation to
reimburse those members of the
Nome army draft contingent who
were compelled to travel long dis
tances and often incurcd considerable
expense in making their way from
the remote sections to the designated
point of induction. Inasmuch as the
government provides transportation
for recruits to points of enlistment in
the States, the local Council feels
that the Alaska recruits who were
forced to pay their own expenses, fre
quently amounting to a considerable
figure, owing to local transportation
conditions, should be reimbursed.
