TRAGEDY ON NEW RAILROAD
 ACT OF SUPPOSED MANIAC

John Hendricks is dead and E. K. Irving was seriously wounded as the result ot shots fired by Walter Stoker on the government railroad near Mile 12 and Mile fl on Thanksgiving day, according to Seward newspapers received in Thursdays mall
 Engineer Thomas Ward of the govern ment railroad tells the story as follows:
 While the train was en route, at 2;lo D. m., we saw a man lying across the track and the train was stopped at once. When the train crew picked up the body 1t was found to be still warm but death had taken place. This was John Hendricks. An ex- animation showed that he had been shot through the side We placed the body Tn the caboose and in few moments we saw another man, who proved to be Henry Hanko, running up the track lie told us that another man had been shot at the south end of Snow river bridge, at Mile IA According to the story of Hanko, he and Irving had been thawing dynamite when Walter Stoker approached and asked them if they had his mittens He carried rifle in his hand and looked ugly and threaten ing. Irving said he did not have the miss ing mittens and continued to explain, when Stoker stepped back about twenty feet, raised the rifle and fired. Irving dropped, Hsnko says, and he helped him to the fire and then ran up the track for help. lmme- diately after the shooting Irving, the wounded man. say Stoker on the north side of Snow river, going toward Mile Zo. IL was later learned that Stoker had called ln at the roadhouse at Mile l2 about l 20 n, m. and had asked Mrs. Stanley Schwab if his mittens were there. He then walked up the track toward Mile l4 and met Mir. Schwab a short distance from the road house He also inquired from Schwab about the mittens Craddock, the section fore man, who was working near Snow nver, was also attacked by Stoker after the shoot ing of Irving. Stoker took a shot at Grad dock but missed, and Craddock made hls escape An alarm was at once sent out over the line by telephone to warn all along the road to watch out, both to protect them selves and to capture Stoker if possible. Deputy Marshal Ike Evans was at once mo- tifed and with posse hastened to the scene Rifles were obtained at Mile 12 roadhouse and the crew at Snow river were armed and set out in search, accompanied by Dr. J. M. Sloan, whose intended duty 1t was to rem der aid in the event of further casualties. "
 At last accounts Stoker had not been cap tured. He is a Scotchman, something more than 45 years of age. He left Fairbanks a year ago and went to Chicago on visit to relatives He came to Seward last summer and was employed as tie cutter at the time of the shooting. Recently he said to an ac- ouaintance: This is not like Alaska used to be; you can't leave anything in cabin without someone breaking in and stealing it." He had been in Seward, and appeared to be sane and to be of sociable nature He did not indulge in drink.
 The man killed and the wounded man seem to be about 30 years of age. Both were railroad laborers.

From these figures it will be seen that the total gold output, exclusive of anti mony and tungsten, IS $3,l50,000 from all the territory included as the Fairbanks dis trict" But as the Tolovana Hot Springs Tenderfoot, Kantishna "and outlying dis tricts'' cannot rightfully be placed in the Fairbanks district, the total is thus reduced to sl,175,GOo for the Fairbanks district proper
 The total amount of gold shipped from Iditarod during the past season was s2.056, 17l.09 This included about s50,O00 from outlying districts" Deducting S50000 from these figures leaves total of $2,006, 171.09, which gives Iditarod lead over Fairbanks in the production of gold for the year 1916 of S23l, ,17109.
