ELLAMAR BLAST
 HURTS SIX NATIVES

"Six natives were hurt by blast, can you send Donaldson for them? was the urgent request received by Col. o'Neil late yesterday afternoon from Supt. Middlecamp, of Ellamar.
 Col. o'Neil immediately dispatched the Donaldson, with Surgeon Von schrader, several hospital stewarts and medical supplies to the scene of the disaster.
 The Donaldson had not, up to the time of going to press returned, and no details of the explosion have been received.
 It is stated however, by those who who have just arrived from Ellamar that the natives were cutting wood near the powder magazine, and that it must have been some accident to the magazine which caused the explo- sion.
 The Yukon sent the wireless to Cor dova and it was then sent to Valdez via the cable line.-Valdez Prospec- tor.

WOMAN PAYS DEAR
 TOLL TO ARCTIC BLAST

! Caught by darkness on a drifted and wind.swept trail on the Totat- lanika river with two.year.old daughter and two.months-old infant in her charge, Mrs. J. P. Sherman, wife of J. P. Sherman, the Totatlanika prospectoir, engaged in a one.sided struggle with the elements that re- suited in the death of her infant child and left herself and other child in a greatly weakened condition. News of the occurrence was received yester- day by the marshaPs office in a let ter from Mir. Sherman.
 Mir. Sherman writes that he left Mrs. Sherman and the two children at the 15-mile relay cabin on the Totatlanika river on February 15, and came to Fairbanks for an outfit with which to move his freight from Ne mana to his workings on the Totatlan- ika. He says Mrs. Sherman and the children were well provided for. He returned on the eighteenth and found the younger child corpse and his other child and wife in an impover- ished and weakened condition.
 Mrs. Sherman, it appears from the letter, left the cabin unknown to Mr. Sherman on the afternoon of his de parture. She took the sled, the robes and the two children and started for the mouth of the river, 15 miles dis tant Night came when she was five miles below the cabin. She had no axe, having overlooked it in departing from the cabin. The wind and cold began to tell upon the woman, strug- gling along the trail With her chill dren. Efforts to build a fire were useless, so she started back for the cabin, clasping the babe to her breast in an effort to keep the slight baby warm. The trail was covered with drifting snow and mushing would have been laborious for a man, let alone a woman, with two children in her care. It was five o'clock on the evening of the sixteenth before Mrs. sherman reached the relay cabin, where there was wood and matches and an ample supply of provisions. The infant was dead. The life had been snuffed out by the chilling, biting, cold wether that had accompanied the weary way homeward along the river trail.
 The remains of the child are being held at the relay cabin and probably will be buried al the Nenana Miss ion. It had not been decided last evening by the authorities whether an inquest would be held or not. Mrs. Sherman is slightly improved in con- dition since her experience along the trail.-Fairbank Times.

BY COURT ORDER
Finds No Charges Pending
Against Man Who Escaped
and Surrendered.

Frederick M. Dreher who escaped
from court attendants at the county
court house on Monday night after
having been placed on probation by
Judge Harry v. Osborne. and who
gave himself up to the officials four
hours after his escape, was again re.
leased late yesterday afternoon by
Judge Osborne, it having developed
there was nothing pending against
the young man making 1t necessary
to hold him in the county jail.
On Monday night Dreher was held
because it was claimed he was
wanted by the authorities of Mon
mouth county. Selick j. Mindee.
counsel for Dreher, investigated this
phase of the case yesterday, and
found there was nothing to warrant
the detention of the man, the pro-
ceedings in Monmouth county having
only been connected with the swear
ing out of a bench warrant to search
trunks in the possession of Dreher.
When the facts were brought to
the attention of Judge Osborne he
ordered Dreher released on the pro-
baton sentence of three years with
payment of 25 cents weekly i'm
posed by Judge Osborne on Monday
after Dreher admitted taking the
automobile of Mortimer Davis to
Interlaken without permission. Dreher

Fear Slayer in
Mine Has Fled

BINGHAM, Utah, Dec. 3.-That the
work of Sheriff Andrew Smith and his
two hundred deputies in the last
three days has been for nought and
that Ralph Lopez, the Mexican bandit
and murderer, has not been in the
Minnie mine here since Sunday, was
the opinion generally expressed among
the miners of this camp today. This,
however, is not in accordance with
the belief of Sheriff Smith, who said
he probably would open the mine
Thursday morning, when he expected
to find the body of Lopez.
Some credence, however, is being
given the theory advanced that Lopez
had made his escape from the mine,
and detectives have been put to work
in Bingham to trace down possible
clues
