 Aroused over the murderouss career of crazed milan in the upper Nssha- gak river district, residents of Dill lingham have voiced a plea&for. aid, through the Cordova Times. For yeaEA- the Indian has reigned su- preme until now w-the5.region, is ahsov lutely unsafaIfaEotravelas... Through lac. kof numbers, thasresidents of the district alone are mot able.to take the necessary measures, but they. feel. aid should be given in the emergency. A special dispatch to-. the Times from Dillingham; saysa@
 In the. hope that. some help will he given this section of Alaska in organ izii5g a searching party toAapprehend half-crazed Indian at whose ax and gun are laid, the. responsibility '. for possibly g. score of murders near here in recent years,. an appeal to all Alasa kans is being sent out though the OOAuOSd Ociiy 4HHeS.~
 It will cost. a great~deal of money to catch this .fend atrocious, but until he is safe -hehind the hars.. the entire upper Nushagak river district isis un- safe for tranpers.. and d. prespectors- The money is not forthcoming in this district to carry, on the work, but it is imperative that something. be done.
 Following are the details of the atrocities committed in this region.
 The man. believed responsible for the murders is known as Klutok, a full-hlooded native Indian, born. on tha. Nushagak- -iyer,- Bristol Bayae He is 35 years old, 5 feet 4 inches. tall, and weighs about 1855 pounds. Klu- tok-. or "Man from the Mountain" ]" reigns supreme at the, headwaters of the Nushagak river. and on small river called the Tic-Chik.
 The Indian is lone wolf, summed by and stunning the outside world, neither friend. of white man..o native. All the other. natives in the4sregion fear him, as we'll as most white men.
 Through. some system that- is. -unr Known, to white men, Klu-tek keeps. in close and constant communication with what. is going ,onains-thas sur rounding country. By what is termed 'moccasin telegraph" he, seems to know when any man enters. his terri tory, and he goes after, all invaders.
 Disdaining to use the5weapons of civilization for his own use,, the half crazed Indian.shoots game with, a. bow and arrow. :, He packs 30-30 rife, for his human prey.sTo O act. as his guard when he is asleep he has "a small dog.
 Travelling alone. his domain. in a kyak or skin. hoaty apparently always we'll ressed, the. Indian has for the past nine years been carrying nhis reign of terror against the. encroach- ment of ontsiders.ss. .sa .S
 Klu-tok first became: notorious in 1919, when it is said that his career of crime started. bN killing. tMoq na= tiyes,a and at the. time he stated that He would kill -twoamore all the same assmocaaHE.'
 From that timesuntil the present he has had -ths. whole upper reaches of the entire Nushagak river under his control, keening trappers and pros- pectoEasont. orr at. lease on their guard all. the time. He leaves arrows in front of. his cabin to warn people to keep off his, trail.
 About April 15, 1927, Harvey SaH- rison, an American white nrEn, to- gether with Charles Anderson, half bead, born on the Nushagak river, went up that riven tO trap beaver.
