Fairbauks Hold-Up Man and
CompiDion Escape
FairV ks, Jan. 29? Hendricksoa
the looV .lighwarman of the blue par
ka, and a fellow prisoner named Thorn
ton, fought their way out of the federal
jail this morning after seriously and
probably fatally wounding G P. Peter
?on, the jailer. Hendrickson was
captured late in the afternoon. Thorn
ton is still at large.
The struggle between the despera
does and tSe two jai'ens was continued
out onto the street, and the hour being
* o'clock this morning, there were
many bystanjers who witnessed the
eontest, none of whom assisted th? jail
ers in their desperate fight.
Thi affair c ime off this morning at
breaking daylight. Jailer Jim Galla
gher was carrying the b:eukfast into
the two prisoners, when he was
knocked down by Hendrickson with the
leg irons from which he had somehow
freed himself.
M Jailer Peterson rushed to the rescue
of his companion. Be was met by a
handful of pepper, full in the face, in
stantly blinde 1, and was unable to de
tend himself. Thornton slashed the
blicded man in the neck, back and
breast with a case Snife, until Galla
gher oo'y was left between the desper
adoes' id liberty. Galagher hung on
despa. *ely through the passage and
out onto the street, where the men
broke away.
This is the second*) ail break for both
men.

NEW FIELD
Gold Placers Between Cook
Inlt-t and McKiuley
New gold discoveries have been made
all through the Yentna district tbis
fall by the men who were drawn in by
the reports which reached Seward late
Ust summer. A new area has been dis
covered on Lake creek, lying directly
south of Mount McKinley, and this has
been staked for 36 miles along the
creek. It has been worked very little
because the discoveries were not made
until on the eve of the freezeup but
some rich pans were made.
The latest report was brought down
last month by James T. Cunliffe, who
went into the district in September
with his partner, Auitin Skogsber^,
and Dan R:ee, all former employes of
the Alaska Central * * *
Mr. Cunliffe predicts a great stam
pede to the Mount McKinley region

true that the men who wonted their
claims took out ftom $10 to $20 a day

"Some of them did better thin that. |

several weeks from the tailings of a

!! Met on the Battlefield !
* ? ? * *"
[Ort*in*l.J
The battle was over;, the last volley
had been tired; the last boom been
borne away on the cold winter wind.
A cessation In the firing was followed
by the cries of the wounded. The lives
of some were ebbing away who knew
that If they could get a surgeon they
might live. Others would give up life
aud hope of returning home for a swal
low of water. All over the field the dead
and dying were mingled, the dead wait
ing burial, the wounded' waiting re
moval.
Two wounded officers lay side by
side. They had never met before, but
now a common misfortune had mad?
them friends. Captain Eliot Noble was
seriously though not mortally wound
ed; Lieutenant Mark Preston had a
very slight chance for his life. The
former was striving to keep hope alive
In the latter.
"Remember," said Noble, "that at
home there are those who are praying
that you may come back to them."
"There Is but one who will pray In
my case, and she will probably pray,
If she prays at all, that I may never
return. She married me thinking the
man she loved had goue back on her,
but she found out later that he hadn't.
It was all a mistake."
Noble sighed. It must be sad to be
dying and feel that the person who
should grieve for you will be pleased
at your death.
"I don't know who the man Is."
Preston continued. "My wife would
never speak of him to me, and I never
even heard his name. I hope that as
soon as he hears I've been thrown intc
ft trench he'll go and make her happy.
She's a good woman, and I'm no dog
In a manner."
It was getting dark, and the cold
was Increasing. They could hear sue
cor parties moving near them, but
none so near that they could attract
their attention.
Noble always kept in his pocket a
little flask containing an eighth of a
pint of whisky to be used in just sucl
an emergency as this. When he found
that his comrade wfis getting chilled
with the cold he pulled his flask and
put It to Preston's lips. Half the con
tents was all he would allow him to
drink, reserving the balance in case a
rescue were delayed. An hour later
the captain drew the flask again and
poured Ihe balance down his com
rade's throat In an effort to restort
him to consciousness. Noble was by
this time becoming himself benumbed
through loss of blood and cold. Never
theless he took off his overcoat ano
threw It over Preston. This was till
last act he remembered on the battle
field.
When Noble awoke he was in a tem
porary hospital, from which he was re
moved to a more commodious one. As
soon as he got out he wished to make
inquiries about the man he had be
friended. but It was Impossible since
he had not taken his name. All he
could learn was that on the spot where
they had lain a trench had been dug,
and many dead had been burled in It
without any attempt to learn their
identity. Noble had no doubt that his
comrade had died and been shoveled
Into the trench.
Captain Eliot Noble Is a very happy
man. He is no longer in the army,
having been n volunteer and mustered
out after the close o f the war. He is
prosperous in business, has married
and is happy in his marriage. His j
wife, who was a widow, has Inherited
a dwelling from her first husband, and [
in this the family, consisting of hus- 1
band and wife and a babe that has
recently come to them. live.
? One evening Noble and his wife were
sitting before a bright fire of logs.
The husband occupied an easy chair,
and the wife sat on one of the arms.
His arm was around her waist; her
arm rested on his shoulder.
Without a man had stolen up to the
window and was looking in at this
picture of connubial happiness. Fortu
nately for the looker on the shade had
not been drawn down Its full length.
Noble was sitting with his back to tb?
window, and the man outside could
oiriy see that he was a man. But pres
ently Noble arose and turned his back
to the fire, showing his full face. At
the moment his wife threw her arms
about his neck, kissed him and went
out of the room.
When the man outside saw Noble's
face he caught at the window sill.
When he saw the wife throw her arms
about her husband's neck, he staggered
back and put his hands before his eyes
Then he turned and walked away.

When Captain Noble and Lieutena tl
Preston were found on the battlefie d
each was Identified and their nann s
put down on the lists being made u.i
of the casualties. Preston's name was
entered as dead. When, early the next
day, a trench was dug near him and he
was about to be thrown Into it, a slight
movement in his throat was noticed.
He had the night before been sav.d
from dying on the field by the whisky
and the overcoat of his comrade. This
he knew, and for months while linger
ing in hospital he was constantly vow
la* that If he recovered he would find
his preserver and do what he might tc
show his sense of the obligation.
At last he was discharged from thf
hospital, but was surprised to lean,
that he was considered dead. Rather
than go home he concluded to remain
(or awhile among the dead. Might i
not change his relations with his wife
One night, hungry for a bit of hi.
man sympathy, he went home. Thcr
he saw that Ills wife's former lover he .
present husband was the man to who:
be owed his life. He has never sin
