RACE WITH DEATH BY DOG TEAM
STARTS AT NENANA WITH BILL
SHANNON TAKING FIRST RELAY
(Anchorage Daily Alaskan)
At nine o’clock Tuesday evening,
Win. Shannon, the well known dog
musher and mail carrier of the In
terior, departed from Nenana for
Tolovana behind a privately owned
team of nine dogs carrying with him
300,000 units of diphtheria antitoxin
which is being sent to Nome from the
Anchorage hospital to combat the
diphtheria epidemic which has al
ready claimed the lives of six child
ren. And once more the fleet lit
jtle steeds of the north are racing a
| sweepstakes with the grim reaper
day and night until the last relay
dog team sweeps into Nome with the
| precious serum.
It is another of those heroic deeds
j for which man and his faithful dogs
iare famed in Alaska, and where the
j oldtime courage and stamina stands
[out boldly to uphold the traditions
of strong men.
Relaying for Thousand Miles
And a thousand miles of great
i white silence with temperatures
| challenging man and beast have no
I terrors for the men who have under
taken the errand of mercy.
Shannon expected to reach Tolo
vana a distance of approximately 60
miles from Nenana, early Wednes
day morning, where he will be met
by a second crack dogteam and driv
er. who will start immediately with
the precious parcel to Hot Springs.
Day and night the antitoxins will be
relayed, drivers and teams awaiting,
for the next dash at each settlement I
along the route.
| From Hot Springs the route goes J
| to Tanana, thence to Birches, on the j
lower Yukon, continuing on along !
the Yukon river and across country i
FORMER DOUGHBOY MEETS:
GERMAN HE CLASHED WITH
—
RECOGNIZES VOICE OF MEN HE
FOUGHT IN NO MAN’S LAND
WHILE ORDERING BREAKFAST
IN KITCHEN.
j HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. 28.—“Stack
I o’ wheats, java,” sang our Preston
i Maxwell, former doughboy who went
over the top at St. Mihiel, now wait
er in a cafe here, one morning this
week. He had just taken an order
from a customer who was in a hurry
and had promised to rush it.
“Stack o’ wheats and java!” echoed
a voice from the kitchen.
The voice was not in excellent
“English,” or rather in excellent res
taurant slang, but betrayed a Ger
man accent. %
It made Preston Maxwel stop and
do some thinking. To save him he
could not help believing he had heard
that voice somewhere. He went to
investigate.
In the kitchen Preston Maxwell
came face to face with Rudolph Lub
kert, formerly of the Bavarian guards.
And then Maxwell remembered where
he heard the vpice.
In the kitchen Maxwell stiffened.
He was again Private Preston Max
well of Texas. Lubkert stood at at
tention. He was again Private Lub
kert of the Bavarian guards.
“Dam,” said the Texan.
“Ja,” smiled the German.
The two shook hands and began
to talk. The “stack o’ wheats” was
forgotten. So was the customer in
the front.
The last time Private Maxwell met
Private Lubkert was when Maxwell
went over the top at St. Mihiel. Their
bayonets met, they parried, each seek
ing an opening to thrust the ether.
While they were struggling a shell
exploded and they both went down.
They both remained in hospitals for
months, it was learned. After the
war w'as over Lubkert came to Am
erica and finally reached Houston,
where he has taken out citizenship
papers.
“How did you recognize him,” Max
well wras asked.
“If you ever fought a guy with a
bayonet you’d never forget his face.
If he did any talking you’d never
forget his voice,” Maxwell said.
Mrs. Grace Wylie, curator of the
museum of the Minneapolis public li
brary, is an adept in handling rattle
snakes and other venomous reptiles
in her charge.
to Nulato, where the Yukon is cross
ed and the trail leads northwest, along
the shores of Norton bay and endless
miles to Nome.
It is expected by local oldtimers that
the thousand mile trip will take at
least ten days. Though the days are
short and the nights long at the pres
ent season of the year, thruout the In
terior traveling at night will not re
tard the teams on account of the visi
bility reflected from the snow.
Recalls Dr. Beeson’s Trip
Lacking two days, it was, on Janu
ary 29, 1921, or four years ago, when
Dr. Beeson made his memorable dash
into the Iditarod to administer aid to
Claude Baker, banker and well-known
oldtime gold guard, who was stricken
with tuberculosis. The present em
ergency will be met by the pick of the
dog teams which at that time were
only to willing and eager to participate
in bringing succor to Mr. Baker.
Traveling day and night in the dog
sled and taking his sleep as he sped
along, Dr. Beeson arrived at Idiatrod,
512 miles from Nenana in five days.
The “Scurvy Kid”, Capt. Jacobson,
was the initial driver for Dr. Beeson
out of Nenana, and Chester Brink, an
ohter famous Alaskan trail musher,
brought Dr. Beeson out over the Rainy
Pass trail. While traveling, Dr.
Beeson said he could not recall it to
mind, for at that time the entire trip
was practically spent by him in the
sled and rest being impossible, he was
in a constant daze.
Referring to local conditions Dr.
Beeson said not for months had a
case of diphtheria been reported in
this city, and owing to the fact that
no travel from Nome is coming this
way, little fear is expressed that the
epidemic could possibly reach Anchor
age.
Dr. Beeson stated that a telegram
was dispatched to Seattle yesterday
for 250,000 units of diphtheria anti
toxin to replace the shipment forward
ed to Nome. This shipment will leave
Seattle on Saturday.
