Recent reports from Seldovia are to the effect that unusual ly cold weather has prevailed in that section recently, and that Seldovia Bay was filled with floating ice. It is said that as far back as memory recalls never have the resi- dents of that section seen so much ice on the bay before.
 Edward Johnson, known as "Frozenfoot" arrived in Jun eau recently from the south after an absence of about two years. When Edward departed from Juneau about two years ago he did not herald his de- parture from the housetops. He just went. At that time there was warrant out for his arrest on the charge of moonshining and that warrant was still out when he returned, and was served the morning after his arrival, with the re- lsult that he is now confined in the federal jail in default of $500 bond.

Tex Thomas Badly
Hurt in Runaway

Tex Thomas, South Fork rancher,
narrowly escaped with his life on
Monday after being dragged and roll
led for a quarter of a mile under the
teeth of a hay rake drawn by u team
of runaway horse.
A Mr.. Bovard, an elderly man en-
ployed by Thomas, was driving the
team at the time they, with no APP
parent reason, decided to run. When
the horses came close enough, Tex,
in a desire to stop them and thus save
Bovard from injury, grabbed one Of
lines, and at that instant the end of
of the lines broke causing Bovard TO
fall behind the rake uninjured but
throwing Tex under the onrushing
implement.
Clinging to the line the man was
able to hold himself away from the
teeth Of the rake for about a quarter
of n mile when the line broke.
With the flesh of his face arms
and shoulders already burned, torn
and blistered, Tex had presence of
mind enough to realize that he must
take advantage of the one feasible
chance for an escape, and, folding
his arms above his head, threw him
self head first against the teeth in
an effort to force his way through
them. This he did, but as the result
two of the teeth went over his body
cutting great gashes the full length
Of his back.
He is reported to be in an extreme
ly painful condition, and while It is
expected hat the wounds will heal
with ordinary rapidity, little hope is
held for him to be about his work
again for n month, or perhaps longer.

Plunge to Terrible Death
When Car Goes Into Lake
Couples Close Call
In Truck Runaway

Cody, Wyo.-An almost miraculous
escape from serious accident and pos
sible death was the experience of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Scott while they
were on their way to Billings in their
truck. In'going down the Skull Creek
hill the pinion gear sheared OFF, and
the brakes were in such condition that
they would not check the speed of the
car. Speed was taken on with the
result that the car left the road and
crashed into a ravine at the bottom,
completely telescoping the truck and
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Scott a con-
siderable distance. Fortunately nei-

quences as a result of their expert

KILLS HUSBAND TO
SAVE HER own LIFE

rods were efscked and gave way at
the crucial moment at the mouth of
the tunnel. Mr.. WEIGH says that all
the way up the Canyon he could look
back and see the Tanner car coming
on behind.
On getting out on the open road
and finding the Tanner a no longer
visible, MI. WEIGH, thinking his bro
ther-in-law was having trouble of
some sort, went back to help him.
Upon arriving at the tunnel he found
that the car had plunged into the
lake carrying all but one of its occu-
pants 10 death.
Leora Tanner, the only survivor
and witness of the accident was cal
led and told of her ride down to the
portals of death. She described the
car they were riding in, a Ford road
ster with a box body behind the seat.
Bows had been put over the body and
canvas stretched over these to form
a shade for the children who were
riding in the back of the a r There
was about ten inches of space be-
tween the canvas on the sides and the
box, through which the youngsters
climbed in and out of the car. The
car also contained all of the usual
camping equipment and bedding.
The little girl said she noticed the
car swerve sharply to the left two or
three times while passing through the
tunnels. Upon coming out of the
second tunnel, it turned directly away
from the bank and went headlong
down the grade into the lake. She
remembers of going down with the
car and managing to crawl out thru
n of the openings in the side and
coming to the surface of the water.
She says she padded and floundered
until she reached a place where she
could draw herself out on the shore.
Looking back she saw her mothers
body floating on the water. She was
not certain, but thought that she
could see her cousin, Willard Welch,
clinging to the body. Unconscious
of her own danger, she pluckily wad-
ed back into the cold water to try
and ave the boy, but on reaching her
mothers body found that he had gone
under. She pulled her mother ashore
and then struggled up the steep en-
bankment to halt the first cor pass
ing.
1t was brought out at the inquest
that Mrs. Tanner had been bothered
with u weak heart, and the fact that
her body was floating on the surface
of the lake is evidence either that
she died of fright in the dash over
the grade, or that she was still alive
when taken from the water and died
for want of proper aid.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Tanner were
up in the ffties in age. Besides Lee
ora, there are four other children
surviving their parents; two boys, 10
and 10, and a girl, 81, living in Utah,
and an older brother living at Ana
conda, Montana.

MI. and Mrs. Tanner, with their
two children, had driven from their
home in Utah to make the trip thru
the Park and to visit with the WEIGH
family, Mrs. WEIGH being a sister of
Mrs. Tanner. They arrived at Cow
ley Saturday evening, spent Sunday
with the WEIGH family and on Mon
day started out for their drive
through the Park. The Welch's
were to accompany them up to the
other Side of the dam. where they
figured on eating their lunch and then
returning home. All the way. on the
trip the children exchanged places in
the cars, sometimes the Tanner child
rem riding in the WEIGH car and the
WEIGH youngsters riding with Mr..
and Mrs. Tanner. At the time of
reaching the tunnels Mr.. and Mrs.
WEIGH and their three younger child
rem were riding in the leading a In
the Tanner car were Mr.. and Mrs.
Tanner, their son and daughter and
two of the Welch children, Leora and
Carl.
At the place where the a left the
grade the road is more than fifteen
feet wide at its narrowest point, and
in good condition. 1t is believed that
something went wrong with the steer
ing apparatus, taking control out of
the drivers hands and sending the
a down over the twenty foot en-
bankment and into thirty or forty
feet of water.
The occupants of the first car to
arrive on the scene found the little
girl, Leora, standing in the road a
ing frantically to stop them. Upon
coming to u halt they were told of
the tragedy and found the body of
Mrs. Tanner lying close to the shore,
where it had been drawn by the lit
tie girl before going to the top of
the grade to summon help.
A party of men from Cody went
Immediately to the scene of the ac-
cident, working until overtaken by
darkness, recovering the bodies of
two more of the victims that night.
The body of the fourth was taken
from the water Tuesday morning,
leaving only that of Mr.. Tanner,
which had not yet been discovered at
the time of going to press.
A coroner's inquest was held Tues
day afternoon, and several persons
called and examined. Mr.. and Mrs.

ter the car had gone over, told of
finding the little girl in the road and
of working with the mother trying
to restore life.

tilted US to the condition of the Tan
ner car before leaving his place at
