mentally and was in state of partial

pitch forward on his face and was
unable longer to carry the gun. Hus-

was in even worse condition, his low

Under the constant urging Of Thiery
they Travelled 20 hours a day, and
Thiery for three and four days at a
time took no sleep. Huston and Dean
in their misery urged him to leave
them to their fate, but he replied that
as long as life remained he would
not desert them.
Huston finally became SO weak that
Thiery was compelled to take him on
his back and also carry the gun. For
so miles Thiery carried his human bur-
den, until they reached small de-
serted igloo on the bank of the Agia-
puk river. Here they decided to rest
trusting to attract the attention OF
any prospectors who might be following
the river. or. failing In that, to devise
a means to cross the river to the high

The Story Of Canton Mans
Last Hours in the Frozen North

Readers of the News-Democrat are
familiar with the story of the terrible
death of George Dean, of Canton, In
the Klondike last winter. His trip
with two companions down the Agai-
puk river. their hunger, exposure and
finally Deans death has been recount
ed. Likewise the thrilling tale of the
rescue of the two survivors just as they
were about to eat part OF the body
of their dead companion. These two
men wers John Huston and Joseph G..
Ihiery. During the perilous trip
Thiery, who possessed more vitality
than either of his two companions
played the part of the hero. When
they began to lag and even to wish
for death he encouraged them to push
or and used every method of keep
ing up their tagging spirits. Several
times Dean and Huston begged Thiery
to leave them and try to save him
self but he would not go.
The Pittsburg Gazette Of recent date
contains long story of this tragedy
and makes many references to the
heroism of Thiery. In describing the
trip from the source of the Agaipuk
river to Nome the Gazette tells the
story as follows:
On the fifth day of their trip home
the blankets were thrown away. Hus-
ton was seized with malarial fever, and
Dean, who was man over 80 years
old, rapidly failed In strength.
Here the heroism Of Thiery began to
manifest itself. Being q young man OF
strong physique, he might in few
days by deserting his companions have
found food snd shelter He realized
that the only hope for the other two
was to kocp them moving. He urged
them On V reach Storm lake, and they
