Two WHITE MEN
ARE MURDERED
BY SIWASHES

II is highly probable that another
murder has been added to the history
of the Chandlar country, says Fair
banks exchange.
News was received in Fairbanks
several days ago from Fort Yukon
that an Indian belonging to the tribe
living at the head of the Christian
river had arrived at the Yukon town
bearing news of the killing of two
white men by two young Indians be-
longing to the Christian river tribe.
the scene of the killing being back in
the foothills in that vicinity.
The tale as told by Ezaaks Simon,
the bearer of the news, is that the
two boys We're out in the hills hunting
men crawling up on them. They at
once opened fire, one Of the men drop

fired upon and he. too, fell.

MYSTERY ship
GOT Two SUBS
IN SINGLE DAY

PLYMOUTH, Eng. Dec. 20 Cor
respondeuCc of Associated PresS.) =
Two German submarines were sunk
in one day by the Mary B. Mitchell, a
sailing vessel, one of the mystery
ships" of the war now exhibited here,
This craft was one of the first, if nol
the first of the deCoy ships which
played havoc with the U-boats. This
vessel went into the deCoy service
early in 1916, under command OF
Lieutenant John Lowrie. All her of
ficers and crew volunteered for the
hazardous work. She was provided
with twelve FOUNDER and two we'll
concealed six Founders.
She sighted the first submarine
three miles away and loafed along
awaiting a chance to bag 1t. The
German craft followed at a safe dis
lance for a time. but finally crawled
close. and after satisfying itself that
it had superior speed and gun power,
opened fire.
FAILURE of the mystery ship to re
turn fire at once baffled the German
officers They were quiet for fifteen
minutes, and then resumed fire. When
the submarine came sufficiently close
and was in good position abeam, the
concealed guns Of the sailing ship
were brought into play and landed six
mortal hits on the submarine, which
was unable to fire an additional shell
Just three minutes after the first hit,
the submarine was blown up by a
shot which holcd it just below the
forcdeck and caused an explosion
which threw vast column of water
high into the air.
Later the same day another Ger
man submarine approached the Mary
b. Mitchell and opened fire at dis
lance of about two miles. After the
sixth round the mystery ship was
stopped and boat put off To all APP
pearanCes the craft was abandoned.
The submarine approached the sup
posed wreck at fun surface speed.
Then it submerged for time and
suddenly rose to the surface again.
The gunners of the Mary b. Nit
chell landed shell just below the
coming tower and pierced the side
one foot above the water. A fash
of brilliant fame and a dense yellow
smoke came from the hole. Almost
instantaneously another shell struck
forward and the submarine was en-
velopcd in black smoke and sank into
the water bow foremost, with a loud
gHrgling and kissing.
The official report does not say
that the Mary b. Mitchell was filled
with wood to keep her from sinking,
but this was doubtless the case, as
other mystery ships were so equipped
and We're able to float in spite of any
damage inflicted on them by tor
Eedocs and shells. Their guns were
frequently hidden behind doors in the
sides of the ship which could be
swung open.
