THREE KILLED
IN SLIDE ON
GOVT. RAILWAY
Work of removing slides on Turn
again arm between Miles 71 and 76
on the government railroad has been
stopped. Those in charge do not want
to take any further risk of men being
caught by slides that are liable to
occur at any time, owing to the ex
treme change in the weather. A re
port from Mile 76 was to the effect
that several small slides had occurred
during Thursday night, but no men
were at work at the time and there
were no fatalities.
Of the three victims who lost their
lives in the slide at Mile 76 last
Wednesday, the bodies of John Ru
deen was recovered a short time after
the accident, the body of Pete Egel
yain, an Armenian, was recovered
later, but the body of R. Romero has
not yet been recovered. Romero
came north on the last trip of the
Admiral Evans. He has a brother
also with the commission at Anchor
age. Perhaps Romero’s body will not
be recovered, as the sand in the Arm
generally fills a person’s clothes and
quickly takes it to the bottom.
Several heroes developed at the
time of the slide at Mile 76. The
eleven men in the gang were all
pushed by the slide into the Arm.
Eight were finally rescued and sent
to the hospital at Anchorage. One
man was carried far out into the Arm
and managed to get onto a floating
piece of ice. He was being carried
down the Arm by the tide and began
yelling for assistance. Albert Baum
berger, fireman on one of the rotaries,
declared that he would save the man
or lose his life in the attempt. Baum
berger’s companions put a rope
around his waist and told him to go.
Baumberger swam out into the cold
water and had nearly reached the
man on the cake of ice when the rope
became tight and he was told from
shore that all slack had been taken up.
“Cut the rope,” yelled back. Baum
berger.
The rope was cut. Baumberger
reached the cake of ice, grabbed the
slide victim, and safely swam ashore
with him, although nearly exhausted
when he did reach the shore.

SKULL BROKEN I
I FALL FROM
SCAFFOLDING
Gus Bulstad, a carpenter, formerly
of Seattle, recently of Petersburg, died
recently in the emergency hospital at
Seward as the result of a fall some
time ago at Port Chatham, by which
his skull was fractured in two places.
Death came after Drs. Baughman and
Romig had removed a blood clot from
the brain as large as a hen’s egg, and
also removed a portion of the skull
which had been broken and pressed
into the brain. The operation was
one safe bet out of 1,000 chances.
Bulstad was dying and the operation
was done to see if life could not be
prolonged, and perhaps saved.
Bulstad was a carpenter working
on the cold storage plant at Port Chat
ham. While on a scaffolding at the
second story, Bulstad fell to the
ground. He was unconscious for sev
eral days. Later he regained con
sciousness and was around the plant,
and although suffering, seemed of nor
mal mind. Lsyst Tuesday Bulstad again
sank into a comatose condition and
was placed on the Admiral Evans, ar
riving in Seward still unconscious.
The injured man was taken to the
Seward hotel, and he was growing
weaker he was sent to the emergency
hospital and the attempt was made to
save his life through an operation.
The body will probably be sent to
Petersburg or Seattle. Bulstad was a
man 37 years of age, and had been at
Port Chatham about two months.
CALONEL RICHARDSON WILL
MAKE TRIP TO ALASKA
Word was received at Valdez last
week by Deputy Marshal John Bouse
that Col. W. P. Richardson, formerly
of the Alaska road commission, would
go to California early in June and
join Lieutenant General Bullard, com
manding the Western department, on
a tour of Alaska. General Bullard has
requested that Colonel Richardson be
allowed to join his staff for this trip
on account of his familiarity with con
ditions in the territory.
