The fact is. the Hague conferes

AWFUL EXPERIENCE
 OF MAURERS
NARROWING TALE IS BROUGHT UP FROM THE MklNlsY
 DISTRICT.
SAD STORY OF THEIR HARDSHIP
Asserted Ina. Maurer Was Forced to Kill an Indian Who Had Stolen His Provisions and Clothing Dur ing Absence From Cabin.

Word was brought to town on Friday by T J. Knight and R. I. Berry. who had just returned from the SuSitna district. of the eXtraOr- dinarv adventures which are said to have befallen Emil Maurer. who was pcpularly known here a. the German count. and his wife in the Mt. Mckinley district. According to their story the couple have been subjected to the most narrowing hardships. having their cabin loot ed of all it's store of provisions. and being forced 10 subsist for weeks on dog meat In addition Mrs Maur- CT is said to have given birth to a baby boy. when alone for period of % hours without fire and Emil Maurer was forced to kill an In dian whom he thought intended to kill him.
 Knght and Berry say they came across the squaw of an Indian nam Nagita ar the head of the Nenana. She had with her Maurer's sled. which the men recognized. Ques- tioning the woman as to how the sled came into her possession she became excited and said something about "Nagita. cabin and white man" The two men shortly after ward, according 10 their story, came across a grave and on investigation found that fl contained Nagita' s body. This was on November 15. Continuing their journey they came across several of Maurers camps and finalls reached his cabin. As theF came up Maurer came out and asked them to come in and eat as he and his wife were then eat ing their last dog. Maurer told th m, says Knight and Berry, that the Indians had tried to stop him from hunting. He went out. how. ever, and on his return to the cabin found that it had been ran sacked of its provisions and cloth ing, besides very considerable sum of money.
 Shcrrly after their return to the cabin Nagita and his squaw and chil- dren returned. The Indian was fumbling with the lashings of his sled when Maurer told him to throw up his hands. The Indian paid no attention and after repeat ing the order several times, Maurer. who thought Nagita was getting his rifle, fired and the Indian fell The squaw took away the body and bur jed it
 Knight and Berry rendered what assistance they could and came on to Fairbanks and reported the mat ter. Since that time Charles Zielka. a prospector and trapper of the Ne mana country, has come to town and corrobOrated the story in part. He says that the Maurers are now on their way in and should probably arrive today. Zielka says that Maur, CT is not to be criticized for appar- ently taking no steps to secure pro- visions, as it was out of the ques- tion for him to leave the camp for a sufficiently long time to do this, the Indian Nagita having threatened, in case Maurer tried to hunt, to kill Mrs. Maurer and the baby Zielka had nothing to say in regard to the reported shooting of the Indian by Maurer
