German Held at
Whitehorse Gets'
Away in Darkness
HELD CAPTIVE BY BRITISH AU
THORITIES FOR MANY
MONTHS, PRISONER
ESCAPES TO SAFETY
(Skagway Alaskan.)
Taking advantage of the cover of
! darkness to mush his way over the i
summit, through brush, down gullies
and up precipitous mountain sides,
j resting in the day time and keeping
out of sight under the shrubbery, G.
E. Bierfrend, held since October, 1914,
in the police barracks at Whitehorse
as a prisoner of war, has made good
his escape and will leave tonight for
his home in San Francisco. He has
cabled for money to cover his fare,
and his wife and family in the Golden
City will be overjoyed when the wire
is delivered to them this morning, an
nouncing that their father and hus- j
band is a free man. „
Mr. Bierfrend was born in Germany,
i He came to the United States and
j took out his first papers. He was
! working on the lower river division l
when the war broke out. He was in
terned at Dawson and told to wait in
that city, pending an investigation.
He ran away and was caught in
White Horse and since that date has !
been detained in the police head- i
quarters as a prisoner of war.
Mr. Bierfrend broke away from i
police headquarters last Tuesday I
night about 8 p. m. For months and i
months he had been figuring a way to j
make good his escape and while no j
one was watching him he ducked into j
; the brush and commenced to hike for
the White Pass.. Before leaving he
had cached a supply of beans and rice
in the brush which with a little water
made up his extensive menu on his
perilous flight across the line into
American soil.
Mr. Bierfrend represents that his
treatment was the very best and
that the officials at the barracks
treated him as a gentleman. Most of
the time he was an orderly at the sta
I tion.
GETTING READY FOR
DANCE SATURDAY NIGHT
Six members of the Alaska Labor
union have been busy the past few
days working on the new dance floor
at the Labor Union hall. This floor
is being scrubbed and scraped and be
ing put in excellent condition for the
dance to be given next Saturday night
by the Socialist party of Anchorage.
While the members of this organiza
tion have the dance in charge, the in
vitation is extended to the entire
community and the committee prom
I ises that every one will get his dol
lar’s worth. Added conveniences have
been instituted for the ladies and the
dressing room has been fitted up
with those things necessary for a
woman’s comfort, even to the mir
rors. The dance music will be in
charge of Manager Bacon and every
detail is being looked into to make
this dance equally as popular and
j successful as the opening dance last
Saturday night.
