"RAGTIME" FRANK KELLY OF VAUDEVILLE co. IS OLD
 PIONEER OF ALASKA
Comedian Played in N0thern Towns
 During Gold Rush of '9S.

Among the Spokane passengers was a pioneer we'll known to many gold seekers of the flowery days of Lawson and other Northern towns. Many will recognize in Frank Kelly, .he sRay-time Kelly" of Dawson and the Koyukuk.
 Friends of the comedian say that it was he who named the then 'far- hest North" mining city in Alaska. When Coldfoot far above the arctic circle was being settled, the question of a proper name for the town came up. Kelly was appealed to.
 He said: "Well it seems that everyone who comes here gets cold feet and backs out. So why not dub it 'Coldfoot.' However, Pm not gong to get cold feet. Pm going to stick"
 So did the name and it is so titled on the maps.
 Befo.e coming to the North in the early nineteen hundreds Kelly was a professional on the stage in the states. At Dawson in the early days he was much in demand as an entertainer. He participated in a dancing competition that was watch ed with wide interest, and though he ost to a woman competitor, Annie O'Brien, many spectators were of a different opinion than the judges. It as in Dawson that he was dubbed "Rag-Tlme " Kelly for his proficiency in up-to-date entertainment.
 MT. Kelly did some prospecting and in the Koyukuk district. just North of Coldfoot, located claim on what he believed to be Emma Creek. It turned out to be but gorge far short of the place he started for. Though later prospectors found pay in the gorge, the place is to this day known as "Kelly's Mistake"
 Mr. Kelly is as interesting in private life as he is on the stage. He plans to take the Kelly Comedy Company through all the big towns in the North, from Seward he will go to Anchorage.

The body lay on a high headland, in the underbrush and woods about fifty yards from a large clearing cut, to allow larger sweep for the light along the shore.
 This afternoon the funeral of Leslie E. Williams, the other victim of the holiday tragedy, was held, attended by scores of the schoolmates and other friends. Charles w. Chapman. the only survivor of the trio who left Mary Island light last Thurs day on hunting expedition, is grad ually recovering his strength after almost complete exhaustion and the effects of severe exposure to the ele- ments.
