CRAZY CORDOVA INDIAN
STARTS ROW IN LOCKUP
| The Federal jail was the scene of
a bloody battle recently and after
the smoke had cleared away it re
sembled a slaughter house. It was
a regular old-fashioned knock-down
and drag-out. caused by an Indian
from the Copper River valley who
had been incarcerated on a charge
, of insanity. The native who appear
! ed in the test of humor and was
! very docile, suddenly became a
raging maniac and started to clean
I up on the ocher three occupants of
the jail. He used a poker and split
j one prisoner’s head open and dealt
' seceral stunning blows on the bodies
of the other two.
With super-human strength the In
dian was master of the situation un
\ til Guard LaBelle pounced upon his
I back and pinioned his arms, while
• Deputy Marshal Taylor and two of
the prisoners used a poker and a
i "say on his head. They were unable
to put him out, bu\ finally succeed
' ed in handcuffing and putting the in
sane man in irons, but not until af
iter he had beaten them up and ta
ken a good sized mouthful of one
of the prisoner’s arms.
Olaf Bru and Ernest Bakke. mem

were literally torn from the boat
into the sea. An attempt was made
to rescue them, but to no avail as
they never came up after being
swept overboard.

RED CROSS SENDS NURSE
TO HELP CHANNEL TOWNS
On the steamer Spokane which
arrived at Juneau recently were two
Red Cross nurses. Miss Ebba Djupe
of the Pacific Field Division and
Miss Marie Faldine. The former
visited Alaska last year when she
went practically all over the Terri
tory and conducted examinations of
the school children. She went out
side in the late fall and it was on
representations made by her that
the work of the organization will be
continued on a larger scale in Al
aska.
Miss Falldine is an experienced
nurse and was in France with the
American Red Cross detachment for
nearly a year, since which time she
has been located at Jamestown, New
York, and for the past two and a
half years at Medford Oregon. As
Juneau is the seat of the Juneau
Red Cross Chapter which embraces
anumber of surrounding towns in
cluding Skagwav. Haines, Sitka,
Kake and Chichagof, Miss Falldine
will make her headquarters at that
place, visiting the other units of the
chapter as necessity may arise.
The plans for Miss Falldine’s
work will be announced in the near
future by the local Public Health
Committee, of which Mrs. Karl
Thiele is chairman.
Miss Djupe will continue her field
work in Alaska during the present
year.
