Pioneer Woman
Leaves Alaska
After 37 Years
Continued From Pace One
Sheep Camp.
Buried in Snow
Roped with her husband
and others of the party,
Mrs. Widner escaped'
death, though partly bur
ied by the appaling ava
lanche of snow, a debacle
that she believes started
from the vibration of the
many tramping feet.
She was not long in Daw
son until she was engaged
at the Good Samaritan hos
pital. Among other patients
that came under her care
was Seward’s Cole McDou
gal, who renewed acquain
tance with the pioneer
lady who feels that she is
making her final trip to the
states.
But Mrs. Widner was
not long at the hospital,
the call of the gold fields
being too strong to resist,
and a year later saw her
and Mr. Widner heading
for Nome, the 2,000-mile
trip being made over the
ice, mushing their way
with lifts on their dog
sled.
‘‘Little Tex”
Mrs. Widner recalled
with sunny smiles, her
memory of “Little” Tex
Rickard, not the famous
Tex, himself, but a char
acter who flourished at
Nome with his bigger name
sake “Little Tex”, said Mrs.
Widner, got out of all sorts
of jams by a blustering
show of belligerency, his
chief defense being the dis
play of a gun with a recital
of its deadly effect. Finally

curious people made some
inquiry and found that the
gun had probably never
been tired at all by the lit
tle fraud, and that in real
ity he was altogether harm
less.
Mrs. Widner carried on
prospecting in the field
with her husband, many oth
er women engaging in the
same work. At Candle
creek she panned nine oun
ces of gold in a few hours.
For years Fairbanks was
home to the Widners, and
there they acquired land
claims, holding valuable
timber, which Mrs. Wid
ner recently disposed of to
the University of Alaska.
May Stay Outside
She is not sure about re
turning to A'aska. She rath
er thinks that she will not,
but will mike her home in
Seattle. There are relativ
es in Wisconsin that she
may visit later.
M Widner is a strik
ing personality, with bri ?ht
young eyes, and a head
crowned with a natural
“permanent” of hair grown
white with the passing of
years.
She was much sought
after in Seward by the old
timers who reviewed scen
es of early Alaska gold
rush days, and by many of
the younger generation who
wore thrilled by her recit
al of golden adventures.
