II! SHORT STORIES EROM THE ALASKA PRESS j
H. A. Currier, a miner of the Ester
district, has received a wire informing
him of the death of his wife at the
home of her parents, near Boston. Mrs.
Currier lived in the Tanana valley for
some years, and was well known in
the district.
In the district court at Fairbanks
complaint has been filed by William
Gilcher on behalf of the Tanana Sheet
Metal Works, Nenana Lumber Com
pany, Blankfield Express, Wood River
Lumber Company, Anderson Bros. &
Nerland and R. E. Burns, against the
Nenana Labor Union for the recovery
of sums of money due for material
supplied and labor performed.
Henry C. Dohrmann, who enlisted
from Anchorage about a year ago,
has returned to the westward. He will
again go into business in Anchorage.
Two passengers suspected of Bol
shevik tendencies recently arrived in
Seward, and kept the authorities pussy
footing for several hours, watching
their movements.
In order that their wedding day
would not be on the 23d, William H.'
Taulman and Clara Halferty of Sew
ard waited until one minute after mid
night and then were united in mar
riage by United States Commissioner
W. Whittlesey. The bride arrived in
the railroad town on the Alameda from
Portland, and the groom is a lineman
at Mile 71.
The outlook for Happy creek and
vicinity the coming season is excep
tionally bright. Cosgrove & Morgan
have taken out a large dump for the
spring clean-up. McLeod & McCrorie,
who reported good pay lately, are mak
ing preparations to take out the pay
dirt. A ginpole has been installed to
work the bucket on and they will soon
be running. Four men are at work.
A sensational report recently was
spread in Juneau that the Kennecott
mine had been gutted of copper and
abandoned by the company. The re
port was spread by a number of dis
charged miners from Kennecott who
alleged that the company had been
shipping over two million dollars in
ore a month without keeping up the
development work. There is no truth
to the rumor, however, as the com
pany simply curtailed its output on
account of low prices for metals.
Although the residents of the Koy
ukuk are somewhat isolated, they still
exercise all the privileges granted to
any community in the North. An elec
tion recently was held for school board
and the following ticket was elected:
Clerk, Frank E. Howard; director, J.
M. McNeil; treasurer, E. D. Heppen
stall. The district is a large one, and
embraces many square miles. The
voters from Coldfoot, twelve miles
II
away, arrived at the polling booth with
dog teams.
While hunting recentlty a couple of
Ketchikan men found the remains of
a human being on Carroll inlet. On
account of storms they were forced
to lay up for a time, but later reported
the finding of the body to the authori
ties. The body had been washed upon
the beach and had been partially eaten
by wolves. The clothing was identi
fied as that of Peter Hans Larsen,
who was accidentally drowned on the
inlet last October. The remains were
taken to Ketchikan and interred. Lar
sen was a member of the Ketchikan
Order of Pioneers and Arctic Brother
hood, and a member of the Eagles at
Bellingham, Wash.

pany has assigned the superinten
dents of its various Alaska canneries
The launch Myrtle H., which was
wrecked recently in English bay, on
Hinchinbrook island, has been libeled
by Nels Anderson. The captain of the
boat at the time of the wreck reported
that he had a prospecting party on
board, but it has since been learned
that the boat was loaded with booze,
the most of which was stolen while
the parties' in charge of the boat were
away securing help to salvage her.
Anderson entered into a contract to
salvage the boat, and after bringinf
It safely to Cordova, could secure n<
settlement. Consequently the craf
was libeled.
