Journalist Registers
 Kick Lower River Trip,
 Holy Cross-St. Michael

A. Bergdahl, Norwegian journalist, who visited in Seward two months ago while en route to the Nome dis trict, passed thru town again the first of the week on the Victoria. It was the intention of Bergdahl to board the steamer Maud at Nome for Seattle, but due to unforeseen com plication, this was not permitted.
 The young newspaper man deplored the mode of river traffic from Holy Cross to St. Michael, stating the ac- commodations from this point down stream. were very poor, and that practically all of the passengers were gassed from the engines ex- haust. No desirable accommodations were available on the small craft, the passengers being forced to sleep on the floor
 The trip from Seward to Nenana was interesting, he said, also the river trip to Holy Cross. Upon ar irving at Seattle, MT. Bergdahl ex pected to leave directly for Holly wood, to remain over the winter, re- turning to Norway next spring.

Unusual Amount of Rain
 Falls During Past Month

Though measured in a primitive manner, it has been ascertained To- cally that during the last thirty days, eighteen and one-half inches of rain have fallen. An empty barrel was placed out in the wide open spaces and a month later the contests were measured with the above result. No doubt. another eighteen inches leaked out or soaked into the barrel.

DEATH
Of AGED MAN
PROBED
Frozen Body With Wrist
SIashed Found in. Mountains.
Signs Of ScuffIe

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, March s.
Mystery surrounds the death OF
Martin L. Brandt, seventy-two, OF
1913 Playground avenue. whose body
was found yesterday in a lonely
section of South mountain, near
Jugtown.
The body was frozen, indicating
that he had been dead for some
time. Brandt had been missing
from his home since last Saturday.
The authorities believe he went into
the mountain and ended his life,
severed artery in his left wrist
being the apparent case Of death.
Although he is thought to have
bled to death, there was no blood,
excepting a stain on his trousers,
about the body. Some OF the cir
cumstances, however, gives indica-
tons Of foul play. A blood stained
razor and a small sum OF money
were found in his pockets. Aside
from the slash in his wrist, there
were no other wounds on the body,
but the ground around 1t showed
signs Of a scuffle. Russell Bark
doll, a mountain youth, found the
body behind a log, and Sheriff
Richard Duffey and Justice j.
Scott Bower, are conducting an
investigation. Brandt's relatives
said he left home Saturday, but
they can assign no reason for him
committing suicide.

The gangway which connected the
stern of the yacht to the dock had
been pulled in and there was no sound
OF any movement on board. The
Casino was in darkness, but the Sport

hillside lights shone out from the
villas. A sort of violet curtain of
twilight seemed to brood over the
place. An automobile with flashing
lamps swung around the corner and
ashed along the road to Nice. A
voiture came down the steep incline
towards the harbor. Momentarily
curious, Grant watched it. 1t came
along the dockway to within fifty
yards of the yacht. Then it stopped.

BLACK Cyclone" introducing REX"
the wonder horse of the screen.
BLACK Cyclone" is backgrounded
entirely on the Western plains and de-
picts the life and traits of the herds
of wild horses that roam these sections
content in their freedom from the
shackles of man. 1t is, indeed. an i'm
pressive and interesting animal pic
ture, remarkably SO for the intelli-
gence displayed by REX" and two
other central figures. Lady" and "The
Killer" The drama of the play re-
wolves around "Rex's" love for the
Lady" and his trials and tribulations
in keeping her from the tolls of THE
Killer" A human drama also threads
its way through the picture, but it is
insignificant.
There are enough thrills in "Black
Cyclone" to make the movie fan bark
back to the early days of motion pic
lures when 'Broncho Bil!y" Anderson
was in his prime. An exciting chase
over the prairies, with a cowboy trail
ing the villain. a calloused cattle thief,
is just one of the hair-raising episodes.
The most thrilling of the scenes show
