STORY OF II
(Iditarod Pioneer)
A somewhat sensational account of
the disappearance of two men who
were journeying on the lower Innoko
in a rowboat appears in the Nome
Nugget of September 22, received in
last Saturday’s mail. The school teach
er who related the story, it would ap
pear to the ordinary reader, should
not have allowed “a year or so” to
elapse without reporting the matter to
the authorities, and it might appear to
be worthy of little credence were the
circumstances not given so minutely.
So far as known on one in this vicin
ity has any knowledge of the suspect
ed crime. The marshal’s office in this
city never has been notified of such an
occurrence, and Sieggard Wng, who
makes frequent journeys to the local
ities described, says he has never
heard anything of the strange story
related. But he does say that there
are some “bad” natives in that sec
tion, and it would not be surprising if
there were some truth in the story.
The school teacher referred to may be
Roy Fuller, now United States com
missioner at Fortuna Ledge, who some
years ago was the government teacher
at Shageluk, and later filled a similar
position at Russian Mission.
The Nugget article is as follows:
“A recent arrival from the Yukon
states that the simple and guileless
Indian, in spite of missionaries and
government schools, has at last learn
ed the capital crime of the white man,
namely, killing for plunder. He says:
“ ‘The Yukon Indians have learned
many things of the whites, some good,
some bad. They have learned to speak
English, with many swear words
thrown in; to plant a garden, but not
to care for it; to work on steamboats
and squander their money on useless
gee-gaws; to cut wood industriously
and then loaf until their last bit of
our is gone; to charge all the traffic
will bear for their fish and their curios
and to lie glibly. They have learned to
drink and gamble. It has taken time
for them to learn all these things,
and now at last they have learned to
murder white men for their outfits and
money. I met one man who wanted
to go trapping on the upper Kusko
kwim this winter, but he isn’t going,
because he says he is afraid the In
dians would kill him, as they have so
many other white men in the past few
years. He says that it is well known
in that section that the Indians have
been killing prospectors and trappers,
but that it is very hard to prove it.
However, a school teacher on the low
er Yukon told me of a case on Shage
luk slough where the murder seems
pretty well established. It happened
a year or so ago. Two men coming
down the Innoko in a rowboat with
over $3,000 in their possession were
known to have passed in turn De
menti, Holikachek and Shageluk. They
were bound for Holy Cross to take a
steamboat, and they did not reach that
place. Their boat is now at Anvik, or
was when the teacher related the story
to me, and the Indian possessor of >t
says that he found it in the slough.
Now comes the evidence of a crime. A
Shageluk Indian who was worthless,
who never had had $20 at one time,
returned to Shageluk from a trip and
fasted three days and nights. His
fast was respected by the other na
tives, who knew that it meant he had
killed somebody. The following fall
this cultus native gave a big potlatch
at a lower village, and to provide the
stuff for his feast he paid the trader
at the village the sum of $1,700. Con
sidering the fact that this particular
savage never caught a dozen furs in
one season, never chopped more than
two or three cords of wood at one
time, and never was known to have
any money, is- not this sudden acquisi
tion of $1,700, along with his three
day fast, conclusive evidence that he
was one of the parties, at least, to the
murder of the two white miners. The
school teacher thought so, and so do I,
and it seems to me that Indians should
not be allowed to go any further along
this road. I don’t know whose duty it
is to investigate this matter, but as it
is in the Fourth division, I presume it
would be some official up there. And
for my part I don’t know \Vhy the gov
ernment school teacher who; was there
and knew all the facts did not start
the wheels of the law. It seems to me
more important to teach the Indians
to be good people than it is to teach
them to Spell. As to that, though,
that section up there is the land of the
sacred siwash, and the principle
seemfc to me to be all wrong." ’

Saturday—The Usual Evening of
Laughter; Sunday — Beautiful
Drama; Monday—Com
edy Drama.
“Civilization,” that gigantic, thrill
ing masterpiece of cinema history,
written with the invisible ink of wom
en’s tears doubtless left a lasting im
pression upon the minds of those who
saw the picture presented at the Em
press theatre last Thursday and Fri
day. It was also proof convincing
that there is nothing known in mo
tion picture production too good or
too expensive for the Empress theatre
to secure and present to its patrons.
It is also gratifying to know that
such pictures as “Civilization,”
appreciated beyond measure by
Empress theatre patrons. Now that
we have presented the greatest pic
ture in film form known to the world,
we return to the humorous side by of
fering four reels of comedy and three
reels of drama this Saturday evening.
Sunday, Dec, 31, we propose to in
terest you by presenting a six-reel
drama entitled “The Italian,” featur
ing that eminent dramatic actor,
George Beban. New Year’s day, Jan
uary 1, 1917, we have the famous
comedy-drama, “The Man From
Home,” in which appears the talented
actor Chas. Rich man.
