BACK FROM THE EDMONTON TRAIL
Terrible stories of Hardships En-
durcd and Comrades Lost.

WRANGLE. ALASKA. August 6, via
SEATTLE, WASH. August 10.-The
Stckeen-River steamer Strathcona ar
rived here to-day with thirty survivors Of
the Edmonton trail. They are western
men. except about ten. All these came in
with the pack-train sent out from Tele-
graph Creek and Laketon by the various
trading companies last spring.
The unfortunates tel heartrending
stories Of hardships endured and COM
rades lost and abandoned, and strongly
denouncc the trading and transportation
companies, as well as the Canadian Off
cials and newspapers that so profusely
advertised this route as a feasible one to
take to the Klondike fiold-felds.
To outward appearance these men GER
tainly give evidences of awful suffering
undergone since leaving Edmundton eigh-
teen months ago. Most of them are sick
ly-looking with unkempt boards and
greasy clothes-pictures Of physical and
financial wrecks. Several have grown
gray and bear marks of scurvy. A few
have just enough money to reach Seattle
or Victoria. but the majority are with
out funds.
APPLICATION FOR AID.
The citizens Of Wrangle have applied
to the United States Government at
Washington, but up TO this time no an
swer has been received 1t is admitted
that there are more than one hundred
men scattered along the trail between
Laird Post and the Pelly Banks, and re-
lief parties have been sent out by the
Hudson Bay Company.
The last reports brought TO Laird Post
were that many were dying of scurvy and
hunger. 1t is estimated that there are
thirty or forty sufferers at Telegraph
Creek awaiting the next trip Of the boat.
The sick that had TO be carried on
stretchers had not yet reached Glenora
when the Strathcona sailed. Several star
walton cases are reported. About twenty
miles above. at Devils Portage, two I'M
known men were found frozen TO death
last winter. A man nam-s kshnson. from
New York was found dead in a tent near
the source OF the Mudd river last fan.
