AJ LONELY SPOT
ON WINTER TRAIL
Dead Body of Mail Carrier li Found
Between Minto and Dunbar’s
Roadhouse.
The search party organized by,
Commissioner Reed Heilig, of Fair
banks and sent out recently under
the direction of Jack Desmond, i
was successful, and the decomposed
i remains of Knute Hellenius, the
missing mail carrier was found.
The body was found lying under
a tree scarcely ten feet away from
the 45-mile post on the Fairbanks
Hot Springs trail, and is reported
to be in a highly decomposed con-1
1 dition. It was also ascertained that!
the floods had evidently partly cov-!
ered the body, leaving some mud
sediments on parts of it. All the
belongings on his person, his watch,
etc., known to have been on him
at the time he left Campbell’s road
house, were found on the body. j
1 The search party arrived in Ne
nana at 2 a. m today on the launch
and immediately notified the mar
shal’s office. A wire requesting
instructions was also sent to the
comimssioner at Fairbanks, and a
reply received instructing the party
to come on to Fairbanks.
The body was left undisturbed
where it was found, to await the
i
action of the authorities. Owing j
to the highly decomposed state of
the remains it is probable that it
will be interred at the spot where
found. It is not known at present
what action the authorities will
take.
Knute Hellenius was reported to
be suffering from some ailment and
left Campbell's roadhouse on the
14th of May to come to Nenana for
treatment. It is presumed that he
was overcome when about ten miles
from the roadhouse and midway be
tween Campbell’s and Dunbar's
roadhouses. His pack was found
about twenty feet further up the
trail and his axe lay about five feet
from the body.
The body was found on the 14th,
just a month from the date of his
leaving Campbell’s roadhouse on his
way to Nenana.
TO
Captain of Midnight Sun Will Leave
Soon to Aid Uncle Sam In
France.
- i
ly
Eddie Mclnnes, the genial skipper
of the Midnight Sun, received a let
ter from the former skipper of the
boat, now Lieut. Francis Rotch, Jr.,
offering him a non-commissioned
officer's position in the 57th regi
ment of Engineers.
The response to the letter was
prompt, and last night Eddie wired
his chief to be that he would leave
on the steamer Yukon, due to sail
from Nenana about the 25th of June.
He is now as busy as the proverbial
bee making arrangements to get
away and give the Huns “Hail Col
umbia.” Lieut. Rotch’s letter is as
follows:
Fort Monroe, Va., May 2, ’18.
“I am about to transfer from the
coast artillery to the 57th Engineers
as 1st lieutenant. This regiment is
to take over the transportation on
the rivers and canals of France, and
the first thing I have to do is to
get a bunch of gas men and pilots
together. I want you and any other
good men you know. I can give
you a sergeant's position and there
will be a good show for a commis
sion. Go to your local board and
get their consent to enlist and en
list direct in the 57th Engineer.
Any postmaster can enlist you. You
will then be transferred to my com
pany.
“Now, Ed, do this; you will be
drafted anyway and go in the in
fantry, while this is fine work and
work you know. Let me hear from
you at once.”

sity!

Round Iron For D-ift Bolts Now
Unobtainable in Fairbanks or
Nenana.
It has been discovered that a
serious shortage of round iron exists
in this ditrict and unless a consign-1
ment of it is received on the boat
due her soon, the work on the rail
road will be handicapped to some
extent. j:
This class of iron, and % inch, '
used for making drift bolts which !
enter largely into the construction j
ef bridges, trestles and culverts and •
f a consignment is not received on ■
:he boat due here in a few days, :
'rom the upper river, it will mean
:hat temporary measures will have
:o be taken to complete the wooden
structures on the Government rail
road.
None of the houses carrying a
ine of hardware in Fairbanks have
my of this class of iron in stock
and the stocks of it in Nenana are
it a very low ebb.
MUCH DAMAGE !
AIGUGG TOWN
Agent Scott, of the A. Y. N. Receives
Interesting Account of the
Breakup.
Writing to John Scott, of the
A. Y. N: Co. here, under date of
May 29, Alec Richardson, of Dike
man, gives a detailed account of the
disasterous breakup that occurred
at that place.
The ice appears to have got away
from the river in the neighborhood
of Iditarod town before the flood
occurred and that town seems to
have escaped the damage usually at
tending the breakup in that coun
try. A jam seems to have formed
a little way below Iditarod and to
have held until the floods came
along.
Dikeman is the head of navigation
for steamboats of the A. Y. N. Co.,
plying on the Iditarod river and is
about eighty miles below Iditarod.
There is a large dock at Dikeman,
a fairly large hotel run by Jim
Fullerton and several cabins and
Indian huts.
The town of Dikeman is situated
on the high bank of the river, this
bank is about eight or ten feet
above the ordinary level of the
water in the river, and is considered
well above flood levels.
The flood described by Richardson
is said to have come down on the
town with a rush and in a very
short space of time, carrying huge
cakes of ice in its wake. The dock
was carried away as well as two
barges and it was by reason of the
hardest kind of work that the ware
house was saved.
The ice is said to have smashed
its way past the buildings on the
bank, severely damaging all of them
and flooding the surrounding coun
try, leaving many people homeless
for a while.
The warehouse has been braced
up temporarily and will have to
be repaired to be of any use.
The breakup is said to have been
the worst and most destructive one
ever experienced since the camp
was established.
IN HONOR OF OUR BOYS
Pursuant to the custom of the
church, everywhere, a service will
be held in Grace church on Sunday
evening, June 23, at 7:30, in honor
of the men recently- drafted, and
the soldier boys who have been sta
tioned here in special service and are
soon to go Outside, and the boys
of the Signal Corps. It is the hope
of the local church people that all
the boys will have arrived in town
by that date and that they will find
it convenient to be our guests on
that occasion.
Robert Joseph Diven, D. D.
Minister.
