In spite of this all consuming

Hunting Party
 Has Returned

party of Fairbanksans re- turned to town Saturday evening from the headwaters of the Kan tishna river, where they have been enjoying three weeks outing. It cannot be said what they were hunt ing for according to the statement of one member of the party, for they failed to reach their objective point, Lake Minchumina, for the reason that their gasoline gave out In fact. according to that cer tain member, they had mistaken d case of beer for case of gasoline with the result that they soon learn ed that beer cannot be used for engine fuel,
 The members of the party were w. A. Lovejoy, J. G. Morrow, w. F. Whitely, Cal Townsend, Andy Hoey, Bob Geis and Charles Inger soll When they left their camp on the return trip they floated down to a place where they had cached gasoline for the return trip and made it alright as far as Minto, but a, that point their engine went dead They were therefore compelled tC send to Fairbanks for help and were brought in Saturday by James Moore.

1olovana Country
 Has First Death

A wireless message received Sat urday at the marshal's office from Deputy Marshal Frank Miller who is stationed on Livengood creek, in the Tolovana country, brought word of the death of Andy Beckwith, the we'll known old time steamboat and saloon man. As far as is known. this is the first death occurring in the Tolovana country since the stampede started last fall. The wire states that MT. Beckwith's de mise was due to heart disease.
 The wireless message was re- ceiyed here merely by courtesy to the marshal's office as the govern ment radio station had no authority at the time to receive messages. That condition was due to the fact that no rates had yet been announced by the government in connection with the Tolovana wireless, but the local radio operator took the re- sponsibility of receiving the mes sage upon himself because of its urgent character
 Andy Beckwith was a resident of the North of IT years standing. He was an old timer of Dawson, where he was engaged extensively in the steamboat business. He later came to this camp, where he located in the saloon business at Cinema. Later still he was the proprietor of the Igloo hotel and saloon at Cleary City and went from there to Ruby and Long City, where he also en- gagged in the saloon business.
 It is understood that MT. Beck with went into the Tolovana coun- try from Ruby a little more than month ago He there started a building in partnership with J. P Hansen, and intended to start a saloon.
 The deceased was a member of long standing of the Fairbanks Igloo of Pioneers. The igloo has not yet determined whether the body will be buried in the Tolovana or will be brought here for interment.

Since his departure for Ruby Howard has in- timated something about bathing suits, but the thread cannot be con- nected up.
 It had been four years since MT. Days last trip out, and he says he thinks he will go about every so often in the future.
