Council. City. Oct . 24—fteputv
Marshal Eric Johnson, arrived at
Council about 2:30 p. m. today in
company with tlie* native "Rabbit.”
who set out in search of the missing
deputy marshal Saturday, following
receipt of the news from Solomon
that Johnson was lost in a storm
while enrouto here with the moil
team Friday afternoon. Johnson
stated on arrival that he was not lost
at any time, but being wet through
from the soft snow, decided to take
refuge in a cabin near Rig Skookum
until the storm abated. The native
sent out in search of Johnson, on ar
riving at the cabin Sunday, found
Johnson getting ready to start out
in search of something to eat. The
native had a small quantity of food
and the two men remained at the
cabin until this i Monday \ moitii’ *;
before starting out for Counci*
About r a 1 f way here they met one
of the relief party headed b> Clrav
which left here this morning Nei
ther-Johnson or the native were any
the worse for their experience, save
that, both were decidedly hungry.
Deputy United States Marshal Eric
Johnson, famed musher and mail
carrier and one of the most widely
known residents of Seward Peninsula
was lost In a tierce blizzard which
swept over the Solom.on-Couiuil sec
tion Friday and had not been located
up to this morning, according to long
distance messages reaching Nome to
day from Council. Johnson depart
ed from East Fork. Solomon River.
with the four horse mail team Fri
day morning cnroutc to resume his
duties at Council. It appears, how
ever. that after crossing the divide
the team ran into a fierce blizzard
and heavy soft snow which ohliter
• a ted all land marks for the time be
ing and apparently caused the team
to lose the trail. Johnson left the
team near the head of Rig Skookutn
to locate the trail and apparently
found it a short distance away, as he
shouted to the driver. Frank Monroe.
The latter tried to reach the point but
owing to the heavy snow was unabh
to do so The horses fell repeatedly,
according to the story told by Mon
roe. and hearing no response to hi*
shouts to Johnson, he turned hack
to the place where the latter had
left him. Supposing that Johnson
would return to the team. Monroe
waited for an hour or more, shout
ing occasionally without answer, be
fore finally turning back to Fast
Fork, where he arrived about mid
night after a tierce battle with the
! storm and snow. As there is no
telephone at East Fork and Johnson
having failed to appear. Monroe re
turned to Solomon Saturday morn
ing to give the alarm Long dis
tance inquiry developed that th°
missing deputy had not reached
Council and a native named “Rabbit*’
was started fro mthe latter point to
search for him The native carried
a small supply of food, snowshoes
and a gun and left Council about 1
p. in. Saturday. I'p to this morning
he too had not been heard from and
fears are felt in Council for his safe
ty. as he did not carry enough food
to last until the present, although he
might have been able to kill some
game In the event that he locate.!
out food for some time by now. Th •
country in which J hnson was lost
is not timbered and the nearest shel
ter cabin would be Fox River shelter
cabin, some miles away. As John
son is an old trailster. the question
of his safety rests largely on his,
, having sufficient clothing to keep him j
warm if compelled to resort to a !
snow bank to escape the storm. j
Dave Gray left Council this morn-,
ing with a dog team in search of the
missing men and about the same time
John Rathler set out from Solomon.
Another party whose name could not
he learned also started in the direc
tion of Rluff owing to a prospect tha^
Johnson might have wandered in
that direction. Gray and Rathler
both carried telephone attachments
hv which they could keep in touch
with Council and Solomon.
