REX BEACH’S
FORMER WIFE
III DISTRESS
(Fairbanks Citizen.)
She is the victim of the ways of the
white people, she says, when talking
about her troubles. She is a drunk
ard and knows it; is guilty of the
crime for which she is being punished,
according to her statement, but she
lays it all to the white man’s door,
saying that white man’s “hootch” has
been her downfall. She is an Indian
woman named Annie Lyons, and is
serving a term for vagrancy in the
federal jail here, having been commit
ted from Tanana. But the most inter
esting part of her story is that she
claims to have once been the wife of
Rex Beach, the now world famous
novelist.
And it is this Indian woman’s
claim to notoriety. For she has learn
ed that the man with whom she lived
as a wife in the early days of Ram
part has now become famous, and she
has also learned that on account of
his fame, she, too, is a famous char
acter to the tourists who now visit
Alaska annually. It has therefore
been her custom during the past two
years to pose for snapshots taken by
curiosity seeking summer visitors to
to interior Alaska at four bits each.
That is, she charges each tourist 50
cents for the privilege of “snapping”
her.
In this manner the woman has eked
out a living at Tanana during the
summer months for the past two
years. She depends altogether on
somebody else to take care of her dur
ing the winter, caring not for the
coming of cold days, as she spends
her summer’s earning to gratify her
appetite for liquor, undoubtedly fur
nished by some unscrupulous white
man.
Last winter she was convicted of
vagrancy at Tanana and sent here to
,erve out her term. In this manner
she was kept throughout the winter,
and was also prevented from getting
iquor. This year the sentence im
posed was 125 days. The former wife
Df Rex Beach is therefore pactically
certain that she will not want this
vinter, although she hates the thought
)f languishing in jail, and in her

more passive moments blames the
white man and association with him,
for all her troubles.
There is but little doubt that the
woman’s story that she formerly lived
with Rex Beach is true. For it is
corroborated by residents of various
lower river points who have known
her for years.
