SIGNAL CORPS
ill DROWNED
I Last week Operator Baker, of tho
United States signal corps. In 'char go
I r.t Kuyokuk station, was missed and
I no trace of him has yet been found,
and It is supposed that he has been
drowned. <
The last seen of Baker was when
he took his dog team and started on
a short trip. He did not return, and
when a search was instituted his
tracks could be traced down to the
river, and it is supposed that he ven
tured on the Ice which proved too
weak to sustain his weight, and he
and the dogs broke through and were
drowned. N
Baker came north from Fort Wood,
a signal service post in New York
state, and has been here for some
time. ? Hot Springs Post.
