Cordova, Alaska
Blind Andrew, a native, has been
arrested at Iditarod upon a charge of
vagrancy. The arrest brings to mind
the struggle for an existence that is
being waged by this blind native, who
has not seen the light of day in more
than fifteen years. Notwithstanding
his great handicap in life, Blind An
drew has been able to do better for
himself than many whites who hava
all their faculties, this being the first
time that he has been given govern
ment help since being afflicted with
his eye trouble.
Deputy Marshal Wood, who knows
the Indian well, tells of his fight for
a living on the lower Yukon river.
Among other things he goes into the
woods alone every winter and cuts
about thirty cords of wood, which he
piles along the river and In the spring
sells to the steamboats. While talk
ing to the native one day, Mr. Wood
asked him how he knows when to
start and when to quit work when in
the woods. He replied that he cuts
wood until he has a half cord cut and
piled and then he calls that a day’s
work.
One time Mr. Wood, in mushing
along the trail on the lower river,
came to a cabin. It was night and
quite dark, so the deputy marshal
derided to go to the cabin and re
main there. He rapped on the door
and was told to ‘‘come in." Upon
entering he found it in complete j
darkness and asked if the man did
not have a candle.
“No,” said the Indian, “why should
T have a candle. I am blind and can
not see either with or without a can
dle.” Mr. Wood finally found a candle
in his own outfit and upon lighting it
found that the native was cooking his
supper, just having returned from his
day's work.
On one occasion the blind native!
mushed along the shore of the Yu
kon river for forty miles in the sum
mer time and alone.
The deputies report that the blind
man's greatest troubles are the other
natives, who take his food from
him. He works hard all winter getting
In his wood, and when he sells it in
the spring, gets in a supply of grub.
Other natives then go to live with
him, their visiting lasting as long as
the grub holds out.
And now he had has such hard luck
this summer that he was in a state
of starvation, so the officials thought
it advisable to take him into custody
on a charge of vagrancy, so that he
might be taken care of.
