KUsKoKwIM MAY GET
 LAST YEARS MAIL

SEATTLE, Aug. 17.-Seyeral tens of mail which left Seattle for the resi- dents of the isolated Kuskokwim river district of Alaska more than year ago has been returned to the local of flee and will be taken north second time by the little trading schooner Bender Brothers, sailing from Seattle some time next week.
 Believing that they could make quicker delivery by dispatching the mail for the Kuskokwim via St. Mi chael and from thence overland to it's destination between the trips of the Bender Brothers, post office authorities sent several mail shipments for this district on Boring Sea liners from Sc attle early last summer.
 The mail was taken to St. Michael and from St. Michael up the Yukon river to Holy Cross. The lone carrier from Hcly Cross was unable to handle the tons of mail which accumulated for the Kuskokwim and 1t was shipped back down the Yukon to St. Michael and from St. Michael to Seattle, arriv. ing at it's starting point more than a year after first shipment.
 In addition to mail the Bender Bro thers will carry approximately 25O tons of general merchandise and six passengers. Since Capt. Louis Knaf- fitch has taken the schooner Ruby, Capt. Carl Hanson has been in com mand of the Bender Brothers. He will take her to Bethel on the Kuskokwim river and come right back. The voy- age will take the little craft about two months.

MURDERED MAN
 KNOWN AT FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 15. - The de- scription received here from Valdez of the Austrian, John Smith, found dead near the Tazllna hill last Thurs day. has led many to believe 1t Is the same man who left here on July 18th with Tony Tol. The marshal here is endeayoring to locate men who knew Smith and Toi and will try to verify the reports. It is feared that Tol was also murdered.
 Considerable alarm is felt among the miners and prospectors who have occasion to use the Valdez trail when leaving in the fall with their sum- mer's wages for the coast, as they believe that gang of murderers have killed many and that only a few of the bodies have been discoy- cred. Strong pressure is now being brought upon the authorities to have the cases investigated and the guilty party. or parties. punished.
 Look For Slayer.
 The Valdez Prospector says:
 Chief Deputy Marshal Bouse has sent to Washington, D. C., full ac. count of the finding of the body of a third man murdered within year on the government road to the interior, and has urged that immediate steps be taken by the authorities to appre- bend the murderers.
 Detective Mcclure. who has been working on the case since last sum- mer when Ole Nelson and Herman Anderson were killed about August 1 near Willow creek, has been ordered by the Department of Justice to leave Juneau for Copper Center at once and to make every effort 70 locate the murderers. It is also believed that several agents of the department will be sent to the scene because of the urgent request of the chief deputy.
