Many "B|ueberry Kids" Confuse Officers
Man Wanted is "B|ueberry Tom" Johnson

There is reason TO believe that the
man wanted. Burberry Tom. is in
California. and that the United States
marshal's force there will land him
soon. Since leaving Alaska in 1912.
when the supposed murders Were
committed. the accused man has
been known to have spent much
money, and it is assumed that he
has been getting rid of much of the
gold that was owned by his suppo y
ed victims at the time they came
down the Koyukuk river with him.
In 1912. Blueberry Tom and the
three people he is supposed to have
murdered, came down the Koyukuk
river from its head waters in "a
launch. There was considerable gold
dust aboard and but a small part
of ii belonged to Tom. The last
seen of the launch and its occu-
pants was at BEETLES, though some
time later it was reported that Blue
berry Tom had been seen at St.
Michaels on his way outside. though
his former companions were not
with him.
He is said to have spent much
more money in Seattle later than he
was supposed to have owned when
he left Alaska, and it was also found
that he had been a generous spender
at San Francisco
Although there has been no trace
found of the bodies of the three
missing people. it seems quite sure
that they are dead, and that they
never reached The Outside after 60
ing with Burberry Tom down the
Koyukuk river.
The Alaska citizen., 1914-06-22

Just when the officers thought
/ they had the "Blueberry Kid" IN
/ their hands. they made two import.
ant discoveries that have put a new
i phase on the situation. though they
are still confident that the alleged
murderer of Dutch Marie" Schmidt,
Fiddler" John Holmberg and Frank
Adams on the Koyukuk river in
1912 will soon be captured.
i One of the discoveries made by
/ the officers is that the Burberry
/ Kid" is twins, or triplets, or even
more. and that they have been try
! ing to locate a man bearing that
nickname who in no way had any
thing to do with the missing Koyu-
kuk people.
Another discovery made by the
officers is that the nickname of the
man they want is not really Blue
berry Kid" but that he is known as
"Blueberry Tom his proper name
] being Thomas Johnson.
I The discovery that one of the
Burberry Kid family had been seen
and identified by Mrs. J. X. Smart
more than a week ago at SkagWay
and then at Whitehorse. created the
belief that the man wanted by the
authorities was in Alaska. and dep
uty marshals in various places We're
warned to look out for him.
One of the Blueberry Kids lives at
/ Iditarod, where he has been in the
! habit OF picking blueberries for the
market each year. Other Burberry
/ Kids have been located in other
! places since the search was begun
i for the alleged murderer, but no
arrests have thus far been made.

ONLY BATTER WHO CLEARED BASES ON
JOHNSON is NOW IN THE MINORS

When Hub NOrthen was sent TO New
Orleans by Brooklyn, the Southern as
sociatiOn got the only man who ever
cleared the bases when three men
were on and Walter Johnson was
pitching. NOrthen never figured as q
star. but in this feat he stands alone.
The Washington pitcher is not ac-
custOmed to being hit when the bases
are packed. But NOrthen, when a
member of the st. Louis clIb, made
the hit, Sept. "a, 1910. oddly enough,
the hit went for a single only, though
three players scored.
Those who saw the hit made declare
that had NOrthen not been surprised
he might have made two or possibly
three bases on it, but the fact re-
mains that he did not and SO stands
supreme among the six men who. in
seven seasons have driven in three
runs with a One-base hit.
Freddy Payne singled and cleared
the bases when he was with the Chi
cago Americans in 1909. NOrthen's
smash came in 1910. Nothing like

that happened in the next season. but
in 1912 Lajoie turned the trick against
New York.
Last season was more prolific in
base-cleaning singles. Steve Yerkes
and Heinie wagner Of the Boston
club, and Frank Baker of Philadel-
phia, all accomplished the feat.
The following are the dates wher
singles drove in three runners:
July 2, 1909-Payne Of Chicago
against St Louis. The catcher's hit
was really 81 triple, but he fell after
passing first base and had to be con-
tent with a single.
Sept. "a, 1910-NOrthen Of st. Louis
against Washington.
June 5, 1s12-Lajoie of Cleveland
against New York. He was nailed
