Chris Anderson, well known old
time Nomeite. is in dire distress.
Chris «•—«« to Nome on election
day —d the next day walked back
to his mining dtin on Rock Creek.
The severe weather proved too much
for the old timer and ms a result his
feet were badly frosen. At the
presect time the nails on both feet
have come off and the akin has
scuffed away badly.
He is now confined to his cabin on
Rock Creek with Just enough pro
visions to keep body and soul to
re! her; he has no fue\ to keep warm
and his condition is precarious.
His neighbors, the Reinisch Bros.,
have rendered him whatever assist
ance they can. bat they have affairs
of their own to manage and cannot
devote ail their time to this un
fortunate.
Julias G acta fere on was on hie way
to Sledge creek with Alfred Hansen
and met the Reinisch Brothers who
informed him of the condition of
Anderson. Gustaferson offered to
bring Anderson to Nome for treat
ment but was informed that the
victim refuses to be moved.
This is a case for the Federal au
thorities to investigate and afford
whatever relief can be given the
man. It will be well remembered
that Mr. Anderson has been suffer-,
ing from a hallucination and in the ;
pant was sent to the Ootside for his
toa1th. returning from the institu
tion apparently cured.
It is understood that since re
