A Fatal Case Last Week Quarantined in
West Perry Township.

Thursday of last week County
Physician S. G. Gibson had his atten-
tion called to cases of dyphtheria, sup
posed by the people of the vicinity to
exist at the home of Fred Flather. who
lately moved with his family into West
Perry and rented the farm owned by H.
ID. Wells. DR.. Gibson found the disease
there in quite pronounced form and
one of the children, girl of four years
old, past all medical aid. Several of the
older members of the family had been
stricken by the disease. and had recover
ed, which led the parents to think
that possibly it might be some other
affection of the throat. The place was
quarantined by the doctor and course of
treatment prescribed, but the child died
before his next visit of the following day.
No new cases of the disease have since
put in an appearance and it is thought
for the time being to be pretty we'll

CAPTAIN GLENN HAS FOUR EXPEDITIONS
IN THE VICINITY or TYOONOK.

IN TIE VICINITY or TYOONOK.
Washington, Sept. 13.-Captaln Edwin r.
Glenn, 2jth Infantry. commanding the Cook
Inlet exploring expedition. has written a letter
to the War Department. dated Tyoonok Alaska
August 2l last in which he says he has sent out
four expeditions to explore the country in the
nciehborhood Of Tyoonok. one Of these eXpe-
ditions Is under the charge Of Lieutenant J. f.
Heron Captain Glenn carried The expedition
upon the steamer Duchesnay up tho Sushitna
River as far as the Yentno, tributary stream
Of the Sushitna coming in from the west. Thence
they proceeded to within about twenty-five or
forty miles of a perfectly defined pass through
the Alaskan range. The Indian guides stated
that there was a low pass leading to the north
ern fork Of the Kuskokvn River. from which
place the party was ordered to proceed to the
mouth Of the Tannana River. and thence TO
Rampant city.
The party. Captain Glenn SAYS started out on
its overland journey on July l. and on August
I was deserted by the Indian guides, who re-
port that they left the party on the summit.
This implies says Captain Glenn, that this
party will certainly get through the Alaskan
range and to their destination
A second party was subsequently started from
the head OF navigation on the middle fork OF the
Sushitna River for Circle City This party
Captain Glenn expected to lead in person, but
became too III to attempt the trip. He says he
has heard nothing from the expedition since Its
departure Captain Glenn started another party
from the same point with instructions to cut a
trail down the middle fork to Tyoonok. BY this
means he hopes 10 establish through connection
overland as far as Circle city, should the par
ties to that place get through.
At the date Of writing Captain Glenn hoped
10 start a small party out from Knik Station in
a few days to establish, If possible, a trail
through the mountains to Prince william
Sound
Captain Glenn says that a number Of pros
pectors have arrived at his camp at Tyoonok
very destitute. and suffering with scurvy or Its
effects.
