MAN SUSPECTED OF MURDER|NC RIDING
 TAKES ID HILLS
DEPUTY RECEIVES BROKEN LEG IN ACCIDENT WHILE ON
 TRAIL

That the man who murdered J. H. Ridings at the Little Chena road house a week ago took to the hills immediately after the staying and probably headed toward Circle, was the belief expressed by Deputy Mar shal Pat O'Connor. who returned to Fairbanks a few days ago from q five day search for the suspect TO- ports the News Miner.
 Days of rough travelling oyer trails made almost impossible by warm weather culminated this morning in an accident in which Deputy Marshal Fred B. Parker, with O'Connor on the hunt. received a broken leg. About two miles below the Little Cinema roadhouse, and 12 miles from town the horse which he was riding slipped, pinioning him to the ground. The horse fell on top of the officer and when O'Connor extricated him it was found that the leg was broken above the ankle O'Connor put on an emergency splint and atfer Secur- ing another horse they made another start for town. About three miles farther on Parker's horse fell through a bridge. Although he was not in jured further the pain in the broken leg was aggravated and the remain der of the ride made extremely pain ful. Upon arrival in Fairbanks, shortly before o'clock, Parker was taken to hte hospital The officers dropped in on every camp at which the suspect would be likely to stop. They went as far as Gus Raymond's woodcamp, 13 miles up the South Fork of the Cinema river. No one had seen the man they were seeking It was learned that he had cached, be- fore coming to town a week ago Sat- urday, a pack containing enough food to last him two or three weeks. From this it is believed that soon latter the murder he left the Chena trail and took to the hills His logi- .cal route would be towards Circle. Marshals in all outlying towns have been advised to be on the lookout for him.
