ANOTHER DISAPPEARANCE
IS BEING INVESTIGATED
IN KUSKOKWIM COUNTRY
(Iditarod Pioneer)
, Another mysterious disappearance
i in the Kuskokwim is reported by Sam
uel Austin, who reached Flat from
that district on Saturday last. It is
but one of many that have been re
ported from time to time from that re
gion of men lost in the wilderness
leaving no trace.
But little of the details could be
learned, but it is gathered that a man
named Sherman, engaged in trapping
on the headwaters of the Kuskokwim
river, had been reported as missing,
and a party consisting of Jack Stew
art, Richardson and Johnson was or
ganized to make a search-for the miss
ing man. This party had just return
ed to Tokotna when Mr. Austin left.
They brought word that they had
found Sherman’s cabin, together with
his cache and a two years’ catch of
furs, but saw no trace of the missing
man. In the cabin was a calendar or
diary which the trapper evidently had
kept posted, and the last entry was
made in November, 1915.
Austin could give no information as
to the antecedents of the missing man,
who does not appear to have been
known to any of the old-timers here.
He is said to have been a man about
45 years of age.
There seems little doubt that Sher
man lost his life during the past win
ter, and there is but little likelihood of
his body being found.

CONTENTS MORE VALUABLE
THAN WERE INDICATED
(Iditarod Pioneer)
Charley Taylor, who has just re
turned from the Tolstoi, tells of an in
: cident which illustrates the careless
I ness with which some persons handle
large sums of money, and of the in
difference engendered by the posses
sion of great wealth.
It seems that Max Simel, the well
i known Innoko trader, who has had a
stock of goods at the mouth of the
Ditna for the accommodation of the
miners of the Tolstoi diggings, left
his quarters there about the same
time as did Mr. Taylor and his party,
bound for Holy Cross. But Mr. Si
mel’s boat was the faster, and engine
troubles still further delayed the boat
in which Mr. Taylor was making the
trip. So Max easily outdistanced
them. After several hours an Indian
in a birch bark canoe overtook them
while they were tied up at the bank
, for lunch, and insisted on leaving in
their care a dilapidated leather grip
1 for Simel. They protested that they
might not again see the gentleman,
but the Indian insisted, and they took
charge of it. It was stuffed so full of
clothes and papers that it could not be
locked, and its contents were bulging
out. It was secured merely by a piece
of rope. The grip was further secured
and then stowed away and nothing
| more thought of the matter, as it was
intended to carry it to Dikeman and
j leave it in somebody’s charge for its
owner.
A few hours later Simel’s boat was
seen returning up the river, and the
grip was turned over to the trader,
who seemed immensely pleased, stat
ing that he had forgotten it and was
on his way back to his store to secure
it. Evidently his son had noted his
forgetfulness and sent the Indian to
overtake him with the disreputable
looking baggage.
Upon opening it up to see its con
tents were all right, Simel disclosed to
the astonished gaze of Mr. Taylor and
his companions five packages of gold
dust, valued at several thousand dol
lars, and a quantity of diamond jewel
ry, resembling the equipment of a
pampered prima-donna, and probably
worth many thousands more.
The two parties continued their
journey down the Innoko together,
and Taylor had time to ruminate on
! the deceitfulness of appearances.
