DOGS BRING SERUM
TO RELIEVE NOME
Thrilling Race Staged in
Alaska by Mushers to Save
Diphtheria Victims.

Nome, Alaska.-Stricken Nome's
long awaited diphtheria serum has
arrived.
Out. of a bowling blizzard at $40
o'clock in the morning, great team
of strong-hearted Siberian huskies,
goaded on to the last measure Of their
strength by one of the Northland's
best dog drivers, dragged the life
saving antitoxin into the settlement.
The serum, frozen solid in its con-
tanners, despite its layers of packing,
was turned over to DR.. Curtis Welcn,
Nome's lone physician, who immedl-
ctely began the task of thawing 1t out
and testing its strength.
1t is expected the serum will save
the lives of many diphtheria victims
and check the spread of the scourge,
which is claiming new victims at the
rate of one day.
The last lap of the race with death
was made by Gunnar Kasson, hero OF
hundreds of dog derbies in the old
days, who mushed 60 miles through
the dead of night with the tempera-
ture ranging from % to 40 below
sero.
Pulling out of Bluff at 10 O'Clock
at night with his champion team OF
Siberian wolves. Kasson encountered
blizzard. but he didn't turn back.
When he pulled into Nome In the
morning. four of his dogs were badly
frozen and 1t was with difficulty that
his hands were freed from the handles
of the sled.
Despite this, Kasson brought the
serum into the city far ahead Of time,
closing test of bravery on the part
of men who comprise this American
outpost that has held the rapt atten-
ton Of the entire United States for
days
The 665 miles of trail over which
the relays of dog teams sped had never
been covered before in less than nine
days. In this test the distance was
done in five days.
With five already dead, % stricken
and more than 100 persons rendered
liable to the disease by contact with
sufferers, Nome faced a horrible con-
dition because its last drop of serum
had been used up days ago.
