WORRY Of UTAH FOLKS
OminOus Story About Perish
ing GOld-Seekers.
MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
SALT LAKERS CONCERNED OVER
TRUTH OF THE. TALE.

Readers of The Herald who have
kindred or friends in the Nome gold
district were considerably agitated yes
terday morning on reading in the press
dispatches from Seattle that a party
headed by the well known Jack De-
laney had undoubtedly perished- The
tidings sent out from Seattle were to
the effect that on Sept. II a bottle con-
tanning a message had been picked up
by a soldier on the Alaskan coast. This
message read:
''Of Port Safety, IL, 19G0.-Who finds
this please report to authorities eight
of us left Port Clarence three days ago
and are now sinking fast, with no
hope.
(Signed) Jack Delaney, c. L. Myers,
Sam Mark Cor Mack). John Dolan,
George Thomas, A NJ. Dean
After reading this thrilling bit of in
formation some of the friends of De-
laney were sure that the individual re-
ferred to was none other than John F.
Delaney, the widely known mining man
and contractor who headed a party of
gold seekers from Salt Lake last spring
to Nome. Others who had friends and
relatives in this party figured out that
it was some other Delaney
Salt Lakers in the Party.
Those who went with the salt Lake
Delaney to Nome were A. A. CahoOn,
brother of John P. CahoOn of Murray;
Julius Siegel. son of Sol Siegel OF the
we'll known clothing firm; Ed Gilman,
Willis NJ. Foulks, John Strockberger,
Joseph Ulmer, j. H. Stratton, John
ChiIds, John Clark and Andrew Buck.
The latter two returned here a short
time ago, having left Nome on Aug. II.
Clark and Buck were much sought
after yesterday. They were certain
Jack Delaney of Salt Lake was not the
one who was with the shipWrecked
party. Buck said he knew the John
Dolan and A. NJ. Dean mentioned in
the dispatch and they were not with
Delaney when he and Clark left Nome.
From these and other assurances the
optimistic ones concluded that none of
the Salt Lakers were in the party that
has undoubtedly persisted on the sea.
The pessimists, however, figured out
that some one in the shipwrecked party
wrote the name Of Delaney with the
prefix of Jack instead of John F., as
he himself always signed his name.
1t is not likely that all doubts in the
nnattertWill be settled until some more
positive word is received from others
of the Salt Lakers who left here with
Delaney.
