TWO MORE MEET
 DEATH IN WILDS

From the Whitehorse Star or June 18th, we take the following;
 The dead and practically air dried bodies of A. L. Dominy and Thos Boyd were found three weeks ago in separate but adjoining cab ings, near the mouth G Swift creek on the right limit Of the Hoot- alinQua river about so miles above Hootalinqua post. Joe Brewer, pioneer prospe2tor and trapper, who makes his home ten miles up the river from Swift creek, where he has a mink ranch, made the grue- some discovery, having been request ed by the police to make search for two men, neither of whom had been seen since they left here together, but each In his own boat, on the 31st of August, 1913.
 News of the awful discovery was brought to Whitehorse by Cam Smith and .Chas. Greime who went to Teslin two weeks ago ill the formers gasoline boat. Both smith and Greime visited the cab ins where the bodies were found and viewed the remains. The story oe the discovery of the bodies is as follows: ]
 All last year the few travellers who passed up and down the Hoot- alinuua river noticed two small boats tied up near the mouth of Swift creek, but as that is what prospectors, hunters and trappers, who delve into the interior usually do. nothing was though of it. Three weeks ago Brewer visited that locality and noticed a dim trail leading back into the woods from where the two boats were tied up. Following the trail, about a QudTlSE .OA AAAS AS S''AA'~ " double cabin, or two cabins standing together but not connected by a door. In each was a bunk and on each bunk was the dead body of man covered with blankets. In each cabin was a gun fully lcaded. There were uo signs of violence. By the side of one of the hunks was a teapot containing tea leaves. In each of the cabins a diary was found the last entry in one of which was dated Feb. 2S, 1914. The other left off several days be- fore.
 In the diary kept by Dominy, mention was made early in Feb ruary of the writer's health, which was recorded as very poor. His con dition was attributed to the drink ing water. The last three entries read:
 February 26-Am getting weak CT.
 February .27-Am getting weak CT.

THE ACTION STARTED THURSDAY
 MAY CAUSE THE WORK ID CEASE

Other charges allege dissipation of assets in general.
 Tha bill also charges that if the deal now pending between the gov erument and the Canadian bond holders is carried out that the en- tire proceeds will go to the Cana dians and that all equities of Am orleans in the property will be lost.
 According to the terms of the sale the railroad was to be turned over to the government July 1st free of all incumbrance.
 It suggested that the govern ment, failing to get title cleared to the Alaska Central, may decide to continue it's line from ship creek and find another haTbor for a ter minaI. at tidewater, which would leave the railroad from Seward iso- lated.
 The new phase of the. case is exciting unusual interest.

The daily Alaskan., 1915-06-19

Action was begun Thursday, which may cause the government to cease work on the proposed gov ernment railroad at Seward and Ship creek.
 Justice Stafford, of the supreme court, issued an order citing Sec retarv McAdoo, Assistant Treasurer Burke and the American Security & Trust company to show cause yes terday why restraining order should not be issued to prevent them from paying the Canadian vendors of the Alaska Northern $1,- 5OO,0OO, as agreed by the govern ment, July 1st, and why receiver should not be appointed to distri- bute the money among the various persons claiming interest in the railroad property.
 The suit is being brought in be- half of E. A. Shedd & Co. and John R. Thompson of Chicago, the hold CTS of about $3OO,O00 worth of bonds in the old Alaska Central.
 Their bonds represent money ad- vanced to build the first 20 miles of the railway out of Seward and 10 acquire and construct terminal buildinGs. They claim that no part of the original outlay has ever been returned or provided for in the more recent transactions engin- eered by the government.
 It is charged that G. T. Clarkson representing the committee of Can adians which made the deal with the government agreed to pay August Hecksher of New York $2OO,OOO for assistance in promoting the sale.
 It is also charged that Clarkson was to pay over $100,O0O to Otto Rbanson in consideration of his causing to be dismissed a suit. which was recently brought against the Alaska Nor-hern at Valdez in the federal court, and which threatened to cloud the title and prevent the sale to the government.
 Tha funds for these beneficiaries, it Is charged, were to be paid out Of the proceeds of the sale to the government by the Canadian bond holders.
