Snow Through Bleak Region
With Gangrene cnawinp One Of His
Hands, After Having Fingers
Frozen, Finds Friends When
Almost craxed.

Whitehorse, Yukon River Territory
After undergoing almost unparaI
leled hardships and being the victim
OF combination of vicissitudes that
would have caused most men to give
up in despair, Michael McMurray, a
"sourdough" prospector and trapper,
widely-known in the Yukon, reached
this town and is now confined in the
general hospital, where he is being
treated for gangrene.
With one hand half eaten away by
gangrene. with no food save frozen
chunk of raw moose meat. and with
out matches to light fires and thus
protect him from the bitter cold, Nc
Murray walked nearly two hundred
miles from the head waters of the
Dease river to Teslin, arriving there
IN semi-delirious condition. Nc
Murray was given care at Teslin by
the men there in charge of Taylor &
Drury's station and by them sent to
Atlin and on to the hospital at White
horse.
Up to three weeks ago McMurray
was In the heart of vast UNEMPLOYED
territory about one hundred and sew
enty-fiye miles north of Teslin. He
had been there for five years, making
an occasional trip to Teslin for sup
plies, which he packed back to his
headquarters, near the head waters of
the Dease river. McMurray, besides
was trapping and depend
ing largely upon wild game for food.
His last trip to Teslin was made early
last spring, when he had the misfor-
tune to freeze the two first fingers
Of his right hand.
Az a result OF the freezing the two
Injured fingers commenced to decay

SURELY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
Senator Pettus, at the Age Of IS, Be-
Iieved He Had Attained Years
Of Discretion.

Senator James B. Frazier of Ten
nessee tells a story of the delight
which the late Senator Pettus OF Ala
bama took in a card game. Senator
Frazier. when governor of Tennes-
see, had gone to Hot Springs, Ark.
There he met Senator Pettus, and,
knowing him well, determined to
warn him that three men with whom
he had been playing cards were
sharpers from Nashville.
After hesitating some time he ap-
preached the aged senator, and after
engaging him in conversation apollo
gized for warning Senator Pettus that
his card partners were crooked.
you don't say!" smiled Senator
Pettus. DO you know / suspected
it,"
We'll, ! advise you not to play with
them any MORE" said Senator Frazier.
But there's nobody else here to
play with" querulously returned the
aged senator.
Older senators repeat An anecdote
OF Senator Pettus In which he is rep
resented as returning home after a
night at cards just as the morning
light was breaking. He was at the
time of the story IS years old, and
Mrs. Pettus was but little younger.
They never addressed each other ex-
cept as Mr.. Pettus" and Mrs Pet
tus."
Mr.. Pettus," said Mrs. Pettus
sternly. rising up in bed, do you
think 1t is good for your health to
stay out as late as this at night?"
Mrs. Pettus," returned her hus-
band, don't you think / am old
enough to know what Is good for
me?"

day in port. In that case the main
land runner will have go ut Nigel
Jackson. Harry German and Ornel-
las. The soldier would run ten
miles while the trio covers nine
miles, in relays OF three miles each.
The event would be pulled off at
Kapiolani Park, and the Rapid
Transit cars would certainly not be
able to carry the crowd, unless spe-
cial arrangements were made to have
many extra cars on the run.
It is to be hoped that the trans
port does stay over few days, be-
cause then the people of Honolulu
will be able to see King at his top
speed. lie did nothing like his best
against Kaoo, ard he would cert
tainly give the three runners a great
go for the honors.
As there is no admission to the
park, the runners would rely upon
the spectators digging up a little
cash to help the soldier on his way,
Even the smallest donation would
be acceptable. and in that way, with
everybody contributing, fair-sized
sum of money could be gotten to-
gether. N'.
At present 1t can not be definite
ly stated whether the race will come
of or not. As soon as the Logan ar,
rives there will be something known
and II the transport stops over, the
event will take place on Saturday
or Sunday. as the case may be.

WHY NOT HAVE
PROPER RACES?
MATCH EVENT PLANNED
FOR THANKSGIVING
Lizzie Moore and Copit May
Meet On kapiolani Park
TraCk-HonoluIu Ready for
Horse Race Boom.

1t is about time the sports were
getting together ana arranging
some horse races for Xmas and the
New Year holidays. The other Is
lands seem to be out of the running
as regards a race meeting, and 1t
would seem that the people of Ho-
nolulu should be able to do some.
thing in that line. Anyone who has
visited Kapiolani Park when a
match horse race was on must real
ize that the crowd would go miles
to see real program of races-such
as was presented at the Kahului
track on the Fourth.
There is some talk of another
match race that is to be pulled of
on Thanksgiving Day at Kapiolani
Park. Lizzie Moore, the mare that
defeated Mary Winkelfeld twice
lately, may be put up against Copit.
The latter is owned by that good
old sport, Jerry Broderick, and the
mare showed what she could do In
/ the way of racing over on Maui
Should Jerry decide to send Copit
out against Lizzie Moore, the race
should be good one and big
crowd would attend.
But match races are not what the
Honolulu people want. A proper
| jockey club should be started up
and then the public would turn out
In thousands to see the ponies
stretch themselves over the track.
There are plenty of horses which
could put up good contests over al
kinds of distancet and, once the
game was started up properly, there
would be all sorts of opportunities
to see the silk flash in the sun, anC
hear the roar of the crowd as tn,
favorite falls back beaten and som,
dark horse shoots to the front anC
wins by nose. That's the kind o
sport that beats everything else, anC
