NQUIRY SHOWS OLDTIMER
DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES
Tlie death of Henry Bock in the
Kantishna district, this spring, came
ibout through natural causes, in the
opinion of Dr. F. de la Vergne,
vho arrived in Xenana last night
iirect from the scene of the old
imers death where he conducted an
nvestigation of the body. Death is1
:hought to have resulted from heart
:rouble.
At the time the death of Bock
vas reported to the authorities at'
Fairbanks recently, it was suggested
:hat he had been murdered for pur-:
coses of robbery and United States
\ttorney Guy B. Erwin started on
he long journey to Lake Minchum
na, near which the body of Bock :
lad been found by two natives, to
iscertain the facts. He was accom
lanied on the trip by his assistant
E. B. Collins. Dr. de la Yergne and
lame Warden J. M. Burrows, by:
vhom the report of the oldtimer’s
leath had been brought to Xenana.
rhe trip from Fairbanks and return
vas made in the Moody launch.
The body of Bock was found wrap
>ed in canvas and covered over with
noss, and was in a state of exsel
ent preservation notwithstanding the
'act that death apparently had oc
tfrred during the month of March,
ipproximately two months previous
o the arrival of the investigating
>arty. The weather had been cold
ind the body was well protected.
It was apparent that Bock had
>een ill for some little time before
ie died. His body was emaciated
ind evidence of organic disorders
vas such as to convince the invest
gators of the main cause of death,
rhere was no evidence of violence
whatever. When found by the two
latives the body was on the shore of
dud river, about eight miles from
-ake Minchumina. and the fact 1
hat snowshoes were still attached
o the oldtimer’s feet indicated that
leath had come suddenly.
Game Warden Burrows, who
nakes his headquarters in the Kan
ishna district, was left at the lake
0 investigate conditions at Bock’s
abin, some distance from the point
rhere the body -^as fourfcl, while
he rest of the party returned to
1 airbanks. They reached Xenana
ate last night and resumed the thip
o Fairbanks after a brief stop here '
or rest.
On the trip to Kantishna the
iar:y stopped at the mouth of the
folovana to investigate conditions
.mong the Indians there. They
ound four dead, one dying and a
lumber quite ill of the flu. That
nore had not succumbed to the ep
demic was considered remarkable !
n view of the fact that the village 1
vas situated in a swamp, with 1
anitary condtions in a deplorable '
tate and food and clothing inad- ‘
■quate for the emergency. The 1
amp was moved to dry ground. ‘
lisease and filth laden bed dotti
ng was destroyed, and medicine
nd nourishing food supplied to the 1
ufferers. The fifth victim died ‘
chile the relief party was a: Tolo- ^
ana and all five were buried by
he visitors. The party learned that 1
ive deaths also had occurred among
he Indians at Minto and a number
f cases of serious illness were
ound mong the Indians along the
iantishna river. On the return trip
. was discovered that two newly
orn Indian babies at Tolovana
rere being fed on broth made from
utrid meat, no mlik being obtaina
ble in the camp. This situation
■as relieved by providing the In- !
ians with a quantity of canned .
