PROBABLE
MURDER IS
REPORTED
It is highly probable that another
murder has been added to the history
of the ('handler country.
News was received in Fairbanks
several days ago from Fort Yukon that j
an Indian belonging to the tribe liv
ing at the head of tho Christian river !
1 had arrived at the Yukon town bear
ing news of the killing of two white
men by two young Indians belonging
to the Christian river tribe, the scene
of the killing being in the foothills in
that vicinity.
The tale as told by Iizacs Simon, the
bearer of the news, is that the two
boys were out in the hills hunting
when they observed the two white
men crawling up on them. They at
once opened fire, one of the men drop
ping to the ground. The other was
tired upon and he. too. fell.
Leaving the bodies where they were
, lying the boys went to the village with
I the news, the messenger shortly after
■ leaving for Fort Yukon, the nearest
place at which a commissioner is sta
tinned, with the information. On be
ing informed of the crime Commis
sioner F. C White advised both the
marshal's office and that of the dis
trict attorney as to what had happened
and asked for instructions. He was
authorized to make an investigation,
and if the facts of the case warranted
it to make an arrest.
I l esteruay it was learned tnat uep- j
' tity Marshal I’hil McGuire hal left the |
Yukon town for the scene of the crime j
to investigate the circumstances sur- |
rounding the killing and to bring back j
those charged with the murder. It
will be several days before any report
is received concerning the shooting,
as the head of the Christian river is
about 150 miles by the nearest route
from Fort Yukon.
j This is the same vicinity in which
I the Clark-Geraghty. mystery was en
acted about eight years ago. tin- body
of Clark being found but no trace of
Geraghty was ever discovered. The
Indian making the report is the same
one that pointed out the location of
Clark's body underneath a pile of
brush on a sand bar in Wind river at
the time a marshal's party was in
that section to bring the body to Fair
banks Whether there is any connec
tion between the present killing and
tile Clark-Geraghty affair ft nqft
he divulged on the return of Deputy |
Marshall McGuire to Fort Yukon

Reliable war news In the Tfmeo
BRITISH DAY i
RESOLUTIONS
ARE ADOPTED
At Eagle hall on Saturday evening
Rev. E. I‘ Zeigler read the following
resolutions in honor of British Day. I
and with Mayor W. K. llillery the
large assemblage unanimously adopted [
them:
Whereas, December 7 having been
ict apart as a day on which the Amer- j
lean people are to give expression to |
heir appreciation of the part which !
tlreat Britain has played in the great
war which has jus! been terminated
by the submission of Germany and
Iter allies, and on which occasion may
be taken to pay tribute to the ster
ling qualities of the British soldiers
mid sailors In defense of world democ
racy and on behalf of civilization;
therefore be it
Resolved, by this representative
gathering of citizens of Cordova. That
the following be adopted as an ex
pression of our sentiments on this sub
ject:
We recognize with deep gratitude
to Groat Britain and her people the
fact that the entry of that nation Into
the world struggle in defense of
weaker nations made possible the ulti
mate defeat of the central powers In
tnetr airempi 10 acmeve »unu do
minion and to enslave smaller and
less powerful countries. With sincer
Ity of purpose and trtie devotion to
democratic ideals, and with no thought
of selfish interests, her little army
was thrown Into the battle front ami J
helped to make possible the wonder- 1
fill victory of the Marne, which Is
generally recognized as the turning
point in the fortunes of the Teutons,
although their ultimate defeat did not
take place until more than four years
later.
We realize that the invincible Brit
iah fleet stood between Gorman domi j
nance on lend and sea and world |
freedom, and kept inviolate the trade
and commerce of the world during \
all the years of the war. and made
possible the provisioning not only of
the British Isles but the peoples of |
allied and neutral nations Had it
not been for the might and valor of
tlie British navy we realize now that
Germany must have conquered in
spite of all the powers arrayed
against her.
V As Americans we are now aware of !
the fact that during the whole four
years and a half of warfare the Brit- ;
ish navy stood between the German |
military machine and the shores of
America, and have no doubt that with
out that barrier the United States (
would have been compelled to have
armed against invasion at a time
when we were secure in the belief '
that the war was one in which we
had no interest
That the two great English speak
ing nations, which twice were ar
rayed against each ether in deadly
warfare, were eventually found fight
ing shoulder to shoulder In this great
struggle we look upon as an augury
of - loser affiliation and effort In be
half of world liberty and progress
It is the devout wish of this assem
blage, and we are sure also of the
people of the nation at large, that In
the coming momentous peace confer
ence they will be found still fighting
side by side to make war's victories
productive of the greatest good and
happiness of all peoples
To the British navy, the British
army, and to the British nation, who
so devotedly upheld the arms of their
fighting men on land and sea, we are
proud to pay our tribute of respect
and admiration for the wonderful
feats of arms and statesmanship that
are credited to Great Britain through
out the history of the greatest of all
wars.
May we conclude this little art of
appreciation with an expression of
the hope that the United States am!
Great Britain, silling together at the
conference table with the representa
tives of their brave allies, may solve
the question of world pence for all
time.
