BODY Of HEL|NUS
TO Be INFERRED
BY LOCAL LODGE
Remains of Late Mail Carrier Will
Be Temporarily Inferred Where
Found.

Instructions were wired out to
Commissioner Dehn, of Tanana by
Commissioner Reed Heilig that an
inquest will not be held over the
remains of Knute Helinus, whose
decomposed body was found on the
Hot Springs trail on the 14th of
June by search party sent out
from Fairbanks, headed by Jack
Desmond.
The Tanana commissioner was re-
quested to appoint an administrator
to take charge and have the body
buried at the spot where it was
found, owing to it being utterly
impossible to move it because of the
advanced stage of decomposition it
had reached.
Commissioner Mcdonald received
wire from the Tanana commissioner
informing him that it would be out
of the question for the admins
traitor to go to the spot and have the
body buried and suggesting that the
burial be undertaken by him and
the bill for the expense incurred
be sent to Tanana for payment
! As an alternative it was suggested
to Commission Mcdonald that he get
into communication with the die.

the deceased was a member, anC

rites were performed and the re.

Accordingly, Tom Rodgers and
Dick Ketzler left this morning in
a polling boat with a suitable casket
and the necessary tools to make the
interment. The point on the trail
where the body lies is approximately
ten miles distant from the river
and the men intend getting ashore
at Campbell's landing, engage the
services of some Indians and pack
the casket and tools to the spot
where the body lies.
The burial will be of a temporary
nature, as the Moose lodge will ex.
hume the body some time after the
freezeup and send it to Tanana for
burial in the cemetery there. as the
deceased was member of the
Tanana Lodge of Moose.
