CONRAD BREEDING KEPT GOING FOR
 SEVERAL DAYS

Conrad Breeding, the former terri torial senator who lost his life in the Seward peninsula wilderness, made a hard fight for his life. This is made evident by late reports from Nome, which show that he reached a cabin and stayed there for two nights but again wandered.
 Pete Blomberg arrived recently by way of American river and Teller from Dick creek. From December ' up until last Friday Blomberg was out searching for Breeding. He is an old timer who knews the country like a book, and he states that the opinion is generally held that there Is very little chance of finding Breeding alive. Blomberg stated to a Worker representative that on December &, he with Paddy Flynn and Bob Johnson located the old igloo where Breeding had stayed one night. They followed his tracks to the hut and personally he was inclined to think the missing man had stayed there two nights. On the ninth Freeding'S trail was found west of the springs and was only a short way from where he started. The trail then was on top of hill but instead of turning to the right and safety Breeding had turned to the left. When the last sign of the Freed ing trail was found before the storm, the trail of the skis were distinct and firm showing long, confident and de- liberate steps, not at all as it he was in any state of confusion or excite ment. They searched Bryan creek down to the Serpentine river flats but could see no sign of the missing man. He came down by American river where he encountered many natives who were camped trapping, etc, but they saw no trace, trail or track of Breeding in the snow. Four parties had again started out when he came to Nome by American river: Hastings, Sullivan, Paddy Carroll and another man.-Nome WorSer)
