MISS J. O’BRYAN
FORMER ALASKA GIRL
FLU VICTIM OUTSIDE
According to telegraphic advices j
received in Fairbanks this morning
from Spokane, Miss Dorothy May
Wilson, aged 16 years, died in that
city on Monday, a victim of the flu
and pneumonia.
The young lady formerly resided
in Interior Alaska, and left Fair
banks for the States on one of the
last boats, accompanying her grand
mother, Mrs. Collins. It was her
ambition to take a special course
in Spokane and to return to Ne
nana upon the completion of her
studies, to take a position with the
Alaskan Engineering commission.
She was well along with her work
when the flu epidemic reached Spo
kane.

COM STAGE
IS MING FORM
FOR RIO GRANDE
'Ihe transformation of the popu j
lar Coliseum movie theater into a!
regular playhouse, with a real stage j
and specially prepared scenery, is
proceeding regularly, and the house
will soon be ready for the presenta
tion of “Rio Grande,” an intensely:
interesting comedy-drama, which is j
being rehearsed under the direc- (
tion of F. J. Date, and which will;
be staged under the auspices of the |
Nenana Commercial club.
The Coliseum stage has been low-1
ered twelve inches, and extended to 1
the rear of the building, which gives;
it a sufficient depth for the’accom
modation of a very complete setting i
and a company of considerable size.
In the way of scenery, there will 1
be a back drop for each setting re-«j
quired for the opening play, with i
side wings to match. And there;
also will be a regulation drop cur- •
tain. The scenery is now being
painted by Herman Anderson, who
has had many years experience as a ;
scenic artist.
A partial rehearsal Was held on
the stage yesterday afternoon, and i
within a few days the work will be ,
sufficiently advanced to permit of a 1
full dress rehearsal being held. In |
the meantime, the hall in the Bowen
building is being used, with very
satisfactory results.
The play will be presented to the
public on Saturday night, Febru- ,
!ary 14.

10 AID OF SICK MAN
A special train was despatched to
the end of steel this afternoon with
Assistant Surgeon T. O. Lake, in
response to a summons for medical
assistance for Ed Johnson, a team
ster stationed at Healy camp (old
Camp 358), who was reported in
severe pain as a result of a sudden
attack of illness.
From a description of the case,
received over the phone before his
departure from town, Dr. Lake was
t)f the opinion that Johnson had an
attack of appendicitis, and he went
prepared to bring the sick man to
the hospital for an operation, if
necessary. *
Robert B. Eames, as Judge Biggs,
“an enthusastic citizen,” in "Rio
.Grande,” is a “booster” any com
munity should be proud of.
