ED. MATHEWS DEATH
 RECALLS EARLY TRAGEDY

FAIRBANKS.-The recent death of Ed C. Mathews, also well know4 to many Alaskans as Ed C. Russell, brings to mind an early day tragedy of the Nizina country, of which Rus sell was a pioneer. Russell, as he was best known, was an early day resi- dent of Valdez, where he worked as a musician in the dance halls. Later he came to Fairbanks, where he play ed piano for a number of years, leav- ing here about 1911.
 Russell it was who was given an interest in the Niggorhead associa- tion claim at the houth of Dome creek in exchange for an old coat and place to sleep in a cabin for a few nights, the story having come out several years ago in litigation over the Mig gerhead claims, which later became valuable. It was after that that Russell went outside and became in- terested in Georgia land, returning here as agent of the Gcorgia-Florida Land company and establishing an office There are numerous Fair banksans who will remember him well for that reason alone. His death also recalls the story.
 A year or so after going Outside Russell went insane. He was confn- ed in a sanitarium near San Diego, California, where he died a short time ago. It is stated, however, in a com> muuication received by a Valdez man, according to the Cordova Times, that Russell became perfectly sane just prior to his demise.-EN.
