Paxton’s Fire Is
Being Investigated
Upon the request of FredNic
holl, the Paxton roadhouse fire
is being investigated by J.H Bly
the. wh?, has been sent fsom
Cordova for that purpose by Dis
trict Attorney McCain.
Thus far no absolute proofs
have been unearthed, but clues
obtained thus far,seem to prove
that the conflagration was caused
by a firebug who is at large in
this section of the country and
who is said to be violently insane
At present, Mr. Blythe is in
vestigating this report, which
was brought into town by trap
pers, who allege that a man by
the name of Severance is roam
ing through the country in a de
mented condition, and is sneak,
ing into cabins, obtaining what
supplies he needs, then setting
fire to the buildings before leav
ing. This, it is said, may have
been the origin of the fire that
entirely consumed the Paxon
roadhouse three weeks ago
The alleged pyromaniac, Sev
eranee has already been to the
Morningside Sanitarium once
and was discharged as cured
He returned to Alaska and this
section not long ago and accord
ing to reports has been slowly
reverting to his previous eonuit
ion.
Slide at Mile 127 Still
Causing Delays
We read about the hills that
walk in China and marvel, yet
in the Copper River valley we
have a hill that is creeping and
take it as a matter of course—
distance lends enchantment.
At any rate, the C.R, & N.W.
officials would be enchanted, if
the hill at mile 127 would quit
creeping and learn to walk or
get infantile paralysis or sump
in’ just so long as it would not
interfere with the train schedule
The trains are continually be
ing delayed on account of sliding
rock. Far up on the mountain
side there is a six foot crack
that is slowly opening and below
the cievasse there are thous
ands of tons of loose rock which
continually work toward the
track.
CHITINA NOTES
W. E. Clark, a well known
trapper in this section returne d
from a trip to one of his cabins’
some miles south of town, Sun
day, and reports that his entire
outfit lias been ruined by wol
verine. A small tree blew across
the roof, smashing in a small sec
tion, a wolverine came along; re
suit—one man, no outfit.
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Nelson,
who have been located here for
the past four months, left for
their former home at Revere,
Missouri, on Monday’s train. Mrv
Nelson has been assisting his bro
tlier, O.A.Nelson on his contract
to make an open cut out of the
Chitina tunnel. The contract is
practically completed.
Mr. Joe Feaster,who was at one
time U.S. Marshall here, is now
living near Palmyra, Missouri,
where he is engaged in running
his father’s farm. He states that
he isn’t getting rich very fast,
there being no market for wheat
and this year’s corn crop hav
ing been ruined.
Let the other fellow take care
of his affairs: that’s the road to
happiness and success. Anyway
aid is always forgotten.
