In a letter written to the postmaster
at Nome, Joseph Campbell, the man
who is serving a life sentence for the
murder of the Nelson Brothers In the
Kuskokwim, asks for assistance in
finding Billy Barnhardt, whom he
claims can throw light on the case, or
at least prove his innocence. When
the case was tried at Ruby, Campbell
asked the court to issue a subpoena
for Barnhardt at government expense,
but at the time he did not disclose
what the witness would testify to or
tell his location.
The letter from the prisoner, which
is interesting, is copied from the
Nome Nugget, and is ns follows:
Postmaster, Nome, Alaska.
"Dear Sir: I am going to asw a
favor of you, although I do not know
whether or not you will be able to help
, me.
"I am trying to locate a man by the
name of Hilly Hamhardt; the name,
however, may be differently spelled,
but this is ns near as I can remember,
I left Harnhardt at Raysan mission on
the Yukon river about July, 1911.
"At that time he was undecided
whether he would go to Ruby or not.
I have caused inquiries to be made all
over the upper country but so far
have not been able to get any trace
of him. I know that he had been In
the Nome country before, and I now
think it possible that he may have
drifted back around there some place,
possibly in some of the smaller out
lying camps. I have been compelled
to put people to a considerable amount
of trouble in this matter and I am
sorry to have to do it, but I am here
in the penitentiary serving a life sen.
tence for a crime I never committed.
If I could find this man Harnhardt
and one or two more I am looking
for I could prove my innocence and
possibly get out of here. It is pos
sible you may have heard of my case
I was arrested in June, 1812, at Ruby,
Alaska, and later on, in the fall, 1
was convicted of having killed the
Nelson brothers.
"They were supposed to have been
killed in June or July, 1911, on their
way down the Kuskokwim river on
a stampede into that country. I
was going down the river on the
the same stampede, and that is how I
happened to be convicted of the crime.
I was acquainted with the Nelsons
and good friends with them. I did
not know they had been killed until
shortly before I was arrested in Ruby,
in June, 1912, At the time of my
trial I hardly knew what witnesses I
would need, and when the trial was
over it was too late to procure them,
and those I would have had to help
me could not be located. If there is
any way you can help me in finding
the whereabouts of Harnhardt I will
very much appreciate your kindness
and it may help to secure the liberty
of an innocent man who is serving
time for a crime he never committed.
"Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH CAMPBELL.”

KNOW WHERE
THEY ARE FIGHTNING
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
PARIS, March 5—How little some
soldiers know of the operations in
which they take part is shown by the
case of Private Morin, of Melun, who
recently returned home with several
wounds.
“Where were you fighting?" he wns
asked.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know In what part of
the country you were when you were
wounded?"
“No. At the time of mobilization
I was sent to Bourges. We were
loaded into a train. We rode for
two days, then marched a day. Then
the cannon began to thunder around
us. The first day I received a bin let
in the thigh, the second day another
went through my calf; neither did
me any harm, but the third day they
caught me in the head. After lying
a few hours I was picked up, my
wounrip dressed, then loaded Into a
train.
“Enroute a surgeon asked me where
I came from. ‘Prom Melun’ says I.
■Really,' says he. 'well, here we are
precisely at Melun. You may get out
here, they’ll look after you better than
anywhere else.' And here I am.
"When I get well I suppose I'll go
back to where I came from, but
where that is I do not know."

EASY IN AUSTRIA
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
VIENNA, March 10—In the official
reports issued by the City of Vienna
as to conditions there during the war
time, it is pointed out that Germany
ind Austro-Hungary through the war
have suffered economically no more
ban the Allies and the neutral pow
srs. As a proof thereof the fact is
?iven that the savings bank deposits
n 1914 decreased only 27,000,000
jrowns and that the money market
continues extraordinarily easy. The
uipply of foodstuffs during January
n general was sufficient although vnr
ous articles of necessity showed an
ncreaBe in price. Only the flour sit
lation has not Improved owing to the
sxisting high prices for wheat and
lour in Vienna and other communi.
des. The City of Vienna, therefore,
las secured a large quantity of corn
'or the needs of the Viennese popu
lation, and in order to have this un
popular article of food meet more
sasiiy with a favorable reception by
the population, recipes for the use of
2orn flour are printed on the reverse
side of street car tickets and in such
sther manner as seems appropriate.
There was no shortage of meat dur
ng January. The supply of meat
was even greater than usual, consid
ering the demands of the canning fac.
tories working for the military. The
most important articles of food for
lanuary show relatively unimportant
price Increases as compared with Jan
uary of last year.

PANAMA. March 10—Two units of
the submarine fleet stationed In Pan
ama Canal waters In conjunction with
the coast artillery corps have Just
completed a series of war maneuvers
at the Pacific entrance of the canal
with the view of testing the efflc.
lency of the shore batteries on the
fortified Islands. The two subma
rlnes and the mine layer General
J. M. Schofield, which towed a number
of bnrges. were supposed to repre
sent a hostile fleet In an attempt to
run past the shore batteries and to
evade the mine “field that had been
planted as an additional safeguard.
The approach of the hostile fleet
was observed from the land forts by
means of huge searchlights which
have already been placed In position.
The submarines, however, succeeded
in reaching the vicinity of the forts
unobserved, and are technically sup
posed to have made It uncomfortable
for the batteries. Part of the hos
tile fleet was "destroyed” by the
1(18 °ver which itjiassed, the mines
being discharged from the batteries
when the ships were directly over
them.
Immediately after the arrival here
of Brig. General Clarence R. Edwards.
P. S. A., who commands the Panama
Canal troops, much activity began to
be displayed in military matters. A
number of practice hikes into the in
terior have been made and others are
contemplated for the purpose of fa
miliarizing the infantry regiments
with the surrounding country. It is
now planned to send a complete regi.
ment with full equipment through the
Jungle on a long hike Into the Chlrlqu!
country along the Pacific coast.
The maneuvers undertaken recent
ly by the coast artillery and the sub
marines were for the purpose of dem
onstrating the efficiency of fho forts
and to ascertain what additional for.
tiflcatlons und firmament will be need
ed so that proper recommendations
may be made to the fortifications
board when it comes to the canal
zone some time next month. It is
said that already a number of vital
changes will be recommended.
It is anticipated that when Major
General Leonard A. Wood. U. S. A.,
commander of the department of the
East, arrives in the canal zone, he
will have placed before him several
plans for the housing of the large num
ber of soldiers that will be stationed
on the canal. The most important
of these will be the detailed plan for
the permanent military post where
the three infantry regiments will be
stationed.
