Atlin, B C., Jan. 18 ? A horrl- 1
ble tale of suffering and death1
reached here this morning when a
party of Indians brought George
Redmond to Ruby Creek In a half
froten condition. Redmond and j
Gus Sandberg had been trapping
this fall ou O'Donnell river and
when the report came of the recent
strike on Silver Creek by an Indian,
they started over to the Teslln couu
try for the purpose of prospecting
and making locations. Later they
were seen by Indians and given
some provisions as they were about
out.
Redmond reports that they had
reached Silver Creek and had made
their locations south of Teslln lake
and were on their way back to re
cord their claims, but ran out of
grub and had nothing to eat for
several days. The weather was
bitterly cold and with no food,
Sandberg sickened and was unable
to go farther. Redmond coald do
uothing for him because of his own
weakened and froien condition and
had to walk around the dying man
[until the frosts and snows had
| quenched the last spark of life.
Then he burled his dead companion
lu the snow and biased the trees to
mark the spot where he now lies
cold In death. Though freezing hln>
self and without food for six days
Redmond plodded on, striving to
get back to his cauij>, and after a
journey, every Inch of which threat
ened death, he came upon an In
dian camp and they piloted him to
Ruby creek where he was cared for
and brought to the hospital in Atlln
today.
When Redmond met ihe Indians
one of his feet were frozen and
when dressed it was found badly de
composed, in fact It is believed that
It will have to be amputated as the
bones have been Injured by the
frost.
Sandberg Is a native Swede about
thirty years old.
Much anxiety Is felt for other
members of the numerous parties
who have gone into the country,
as it Is known that food is scarce
and the cold Intense.
LEACH AND RIVERS
MAKE THINGS HI M
New York, Jan 15? Last night's
contest between Joe Rivers, the Los
Angeles featherweight and Leach
Cross, the New York lightweight,
?ai something of a fight. Both the
boys stayed the full ten rounds and
might have gone a few more, not
withstanding the fact that they
fought li?e wildcats. The referee
decided that Rivers had outpointed
the New Yorker, but there are
plenty of i eople who are willing to
bet that Leach Is the better man
