KILLED IN ALASKA.
A Former Vinitan Murdered
For Money.

John Parks has received infor-
nation that his nephew, Samuel
Parks, was killed at Dyea, Alas
ka,-murdered for the purpose OF
robbery. A great many people in
this county will be interested in
knowing the facts, as Sam Parks
was we'll known in Vinita dozen
or more years ago and was quite
popular The following from the
Joplin News contains the account
of it:
Mrs. Parks, widow of the late
Samuel Robert Parks, who is now
at the home of her husbands par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Parks,
in this city, received letter this
morning from Sol Soiomonson, a
partner Of her late husband, CIV
ing further particulars Of his death
at Dyea which was announced re-
Gently by the News. Mr.. Solmon-
son states that he and Harry
Green, another of Sans friends,
had started for Seattle and were at
Scaguay waiting for steamer
when the news of Sans death was
brought to them. 1t was arranged
that Mr.. Solomonson was to 90 on
to Seattle and telegraph Mrs.
Parks and Mr.. Green was to go
back to Dyea and have the body
prepared for shipment TO the
states.
Mr.. Solomonson, on reaching
Seattle telegraphed Mrs. Parks
and she answered instructing him
to send the body to Joplin. Later,
however, Mr.. Solomonson received
word from Mr.. Green that the body
had been buried at Dyea, he hav-
ing decided that it was not best TO
send body on so long a journey.
Mr.. Solomonson winds up his let
ter as follows:
II have received letter from
my manager stating that the mur.
derers have been caught and God
pity them. Sam, while shot and
dying lived long enough to get one
shot at one OF them, the bullet
taking effect in the fellows shoul-
der. The next day the murderer
went to the hospital and gave no
account of his wound, hence his
arrest and that of the others. Sam
was a perfect gentleman, true as
God ever made man, sober in his
habits and a braver man never
lived. He often spoke of you.
You and his parents have my
warmest sympathy. | shall re-
main here a few days, then return
to Dyea and if there is anything |
can do for you, command me-"
Enclosed with the letter was
portion of the newspaper "Dyea
Trail" of March II, giving an ac-
count of the murder.
The facts in regard to the MUIR
der are about as published in the
News. The crime was committed
for the purpose of robbery and the
"Dyea Trail" says it was one of
the foulest murders ever commit
ted in Alaska.
