ITEMS FROM
 KUSK0KWIM

T.. F.. Barnham, an old time prospec- tor and trapper, froze both feet in an overflow at Good News bay. k. A. Smith brought him 10 the government hospital at Akiak, where Dr. Lamb amputated part of the toes on both feet.
 Joe Venes, formerly of this camp, but who went to the kuskokwim at the time of the strike on Canyon creek, while taking his dosteam from that creek to the kuskok i'm was caught ln the soft weather just before the breakup. His provisions, being ex- hausted, he killed and feed his dogs one at time to .he others until the last one. which he ate himself. He was finally found by two natives at Akiak in very bad way.
 Alfred Anderson, another miner on Canyon creek, started for the kuskok- vim river at the same time as Mir. Nenes, has not yet been heard from, but may have reached some of the na- tive camps.
 The natives of Tuluksak village re- port seeing driver and large dogteam on the ice after the breakup occurred. The mau was so far out that they were unable to render any assistance. AS the outfit did not pass Akiak, the next village below, it is not known if he got ashore or went down under the ice.
 A miner on Bear creek had ar ranged to have his dogs boarded at Tuluksak this summer, but up to the time of the breakup did not reach there with them, and many believe this was the outfit caught by the run ming ice.
 The ice began to move on the kus- kokwlm river at Aniak May 10, the water came up very high, but did nc damage on the central river, with the exception of flooding a few cellars Large numbers of ducks, geese. cranes swans and other water birds appeared early and were in great numbers.
 Parties coming up river since the breakup report another pay creek at Good News bay. The pay was found OF ground owned by Smith & L'Hreaux The diggings are shallow and the gole fine but uniform. A large number O polling and power boats went dowr river after the breakup, all going tc the scene of the new strike.

PETE MICHELS
 SHY" ONE MULE

The shortage and high cost of dog feed is resulting quite seriously. Last Sunday at Flat pack of dogs rendered vicious by hunger attacked Pete Mich- els mule. They worried the animal until it was exhausted and became mired in the brush across the slough from the Y. G. Go. messhouse. The disturbance was heard for some hours before the cause was discovered. From d little distance, the animal which was entirely covered with blood, was thought to be George Mutchle CTS rae ing horse, and he was at once notified. Arriving on the scene with shotgun he discovered it was not his horse but a mule belonging to Pete Michels. Despite the fact that the tail was torn off both ears eaten away and some of the neck devoured, the poor animal was still alive. Of course Mutchler put it out of misery at once and then notified the owner, who is reported to have started suit against the owners of the dogs.
 Dogs at Flat have likewise showed vicious disposition toward children, and the above incident should be suffi- cient warning to all dog owners to

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE

 To date 26 children have been cared for
 The contributors at present total s62l.
 All donors have responded promptly and gladly in helping to save the fatherless children of France; words are inadequate to express the thanks of those who are soliciting contribu- tions in the residence portions of the community, and they feel that each donor will be fully repaid when the letters of gratitude are received from war-ridden France.
 Quite few others have declared their intention of taking child to sup port, but payments have not yet been made,

 LATER.-The case went to the jury about 330. and after being out for but few minutes the jury turned in a unanimous verdict of guilty as charged. Commissioner Heilig then passed sen- tence, giving the limit as provided, which is one year in the federal jail.

HOW ESKIMO SOLDIER DIED
eraveiy Fighting IN France for Lib.
erty; His Peoric Should Be
Proud Of Him.

Here is the story of how Great Brit
aims only Eskimo soldier fell in
France. John Shiwak was the hero's
name. and when the great war started
he heard the call In far-off Labrador
and before many months had gone by
he was i'm an English training camp.
Some weeks der he was on his way
to France. full ~ ardor. His death
occurred in the Cambrai tank drive.
The tunks were held up by the canal
before Masnieres and Johns company
was ordered to rush a narrow bridge
that had unaccountably been left stand
ing. John. chief sniper for the bat
TALON, lately promoted to lance cor.
poral, the muscular man of the wilds,
outpaced his comrades. The battalion
still argue which was the first to reach
the bridge, John or another. But John
reached the height Of the little arch
and turned to wave his companions
on.
1t was a deadly corner Of the battle
front. The Germans, granted breath
ing space by the obstacle Of the canal
were rallying. Big shells were drop,
ping everywhere, scores Of machine
guns were barking across the narrow
line Of protecting water. And just
beyond the bridgehead. In among the
trees. the enemy had erected plat
forms in tiers, bearing machine guns.
As John stood, his helmet awry, his
mouth open in shouts Of encourage
ment unheard amid the din, the deadly
group Of guns broke loose. That was
why the bridge had been left.
The Eskimo swayed. bent a little,
then slowly sank. But even as he lay
they saw his hand point ahead. And
then he lay still. And they passed
him on the bridge, lying straight and
peaceful, gone to a better hunting
ground than he had ever Anticipated.
