The Alaska Citizen has been answered. The people of Fair banks have endured another cold snap. And, it is safe to add. they will keep right on enduring sudden and extreme variations in temper ature, just as they have endured everything else of a disasreeable nature since the days of the Bar nette trading post. As the years pass, however, enduring cold be- comes more of a problem in the upper town, owing to the scarcity of fuel within convenient hauling distance. During the extreme cold weather of several weeks ago the creeks adjacent to Fairbanks were robbed of their wood supply in or der that the fires in town might be kept burning, and another frantic scramble for fuel doubtless occur red during the present week. Cold snaps must be endured as long as people remain in Alaska, and keer- ing warm in winter will continue to be attended with more or less difficulty until coal is available in sufficient quantity to supply those camps which are short of wood.

NOTHING NEW
Epler Case Seemingly Stands About
as il Has Since Murder.

Prosecuting Attorney Ora l.. Smith
was in Alma Tuesday working on
new tangent which had come up in
the Epler murder mystery, the new
! thread i'm the case making IL neces-
sary to locate certain party, whom
he hoped would be able to shed some
valuable light on the case, which has
been so far almost barren of results
/ for the officials.
Prosecutor Smith when he started
out on the search Tuesday afternoon,
minated that he would continue
hunting for the party until he located
him and gave him thorough third
degree He seems to be Of the opin-
ion that the party in question
has some valuable information which
will be of great aid to the officers. If
the information did not develop as
was expected Prosecutor Smith said
that it would leave the case still a
mass of conjecture with any number
of possibilities in it.
There seems to be no question now,
however, but what the county officials
have some information which they do
rot care to divulge, as it probably has
a most important bearing on the case.
Just how important this information
will turn out to be, is of course
somewhat of guess.
Joe Stout, aged 80, who was picked
up in Lansing a little over week
ago, and brought here as a suspect,
has been released according TO Pros
ecutor Ora l.. Smith No connection
between Stout and the murder case
could be located and the officers be-
came satisfied that. he had nothing
at all to do with il.
Robert Hamilton. the 81 year old
Minneapolis man, who was picked up
by Deputy Sheriff Davenport near
Riverdale a week ago as a possible
suspect. was given great grilling
as to the case and he also satisfied
the officers that he had nothing to
do with 1T. Hamilton did not get
away and secure his freedom, as
; did Stout however. Hamilton had beer
cutting up some capers in the west
ern part of the county and the officers
placed 'vag" charge against him
He was found guilty and is now serv-
ing a thirty day sentence.
Samuel Berry is still being held by
the officers. who are becoming more
, and more satisfied that Berry is not
the man that they are seeking. Hi:
scratched face, and inability to give {
good account of himself, certainly
, warranted the officers in holding hin
, ir, connection with the case at thai
time. Another charge, which is ser
{ icus one, may be placed against Der
{ ~ any day, if things work out the
way the prosecutors Office expects i
, not lighter charge will probably give
him term in Jail.
When the meeting of the board o.
supervisors of the county is held mex
f week, reward will probably be of
, fered for the arrest and conviction o
| the murderer of Beatrice Epler, ant
it is expected that if the reward is o
, fair size that it will bring further ant
! more extensive work into the case.

go and there it Is said he got into some
bad company. He then wrote back to
Mrs. Tom Monk and asked to come
back and live with her she Icing rel
alive. Mrs. Monk at that time stated
that she had heard that he had become
wild and she would take him only un-
der the condition that he be good. This.
relatives state, he had done and had
given them practically no trouble. Aft
err the throwing of the brick which
caused the death Of Carl Johnson, he
was paroled to Mrs Helen Monk, a sis
ter-in-law OF the boys sister. Since
that time he has been IN her custody
and she stated this morning that he
had never caused her any trouble
whatever
After the accident Johnnie went to
Mrs. Johnson, so relatives said. and
