Story Of Death
Of John Nilima
Told Officers
Continued From Page One
at the opposite end, and
the bullet hole down again
st the covers. In his arms
was his own rifle, placed
there, evidently, by the
murderer;it being stated in
Nome, that the move might
have been a crude attempt
to mislead officials into be
lieving the death of Nilitna
was by suicide.
After a close inspection,
it was discovered that con
siderable funds of the Lo
men Commercial Company
had been stolen, and sever
al of the authorities believ
ed that the murderer’s mo
tive might have been rob
bery, and it was reputed
that Nilima was on good
terms with almost, if not
all, of the Eskimos in that
section.
One of the most startling
discoveries was the produc
ing of a strong box, which
the murderer had overlook
<ed, containing $1,800 in
cash, and securities and oth
er valuable assets to the
amount of $12,000, it was
declared by the party up
on their return to Nome yes
terday, all being the prop
erty of John Nilima.
Hampered by flying weath
er in some instances, the
party nevertheless made
quick work of the investi
gation, which, it was said
had aroused the feelings of
the entire section, Nilima
having been well liked by
everyone up North. Once
again does credit go to the
airplane, it proving its in
estimatable worth and val
ue, federal authorities be
ing able to travel hundreds
of miles in search of a crim
inal, and after arresting a
suspect, return with him to
Nome.
At present Dep. Marshal
Xavier is still at work
gathering additional evi
dence against Richards who
is in custody at the U. S.
Jail in Nome. It is under
stood from the officals, that
he will be brought before
the Grand Jury which con
venes here Monday, April
6th.

Wheeling Island, and part
of the down-town section
where half of the trolleys
are gathered.
The Wheeling Red Cross
| estimated they will have to
! care for seventy-five thous
;and homeless from East
Liverpool to Portsmouth,
Ohio.
In Washington. D C., offi
cials are beseiged by re
quests for relief funds to
aid in the rehabilitation.
An army of engineers es
timated that eighty-eight
million dollars would be the
cost of constructing reser
voirs to hold back the Hood
waters, and stagger their re
lease into the Ohio basin.
Small Tennessee streams
are still ranypaging. The
Mississippi River is expect
ed to absorb the abnormal
Ohio river influx without
difficulties, it was announc
