TO KILL
SLEEPING COUPLE
WITH CHLOROFORM
Angered Neighbors Blamed
for Action by City
Druggist, Wife.

Mr. and Mrs. Cumberland Rid
len, 2181 North Temple avenue,
narrowly escaped death early today
when persons who entered their
home attempted to chloroform them
while they slept.
Police discounted robbery theories
when it was learned no loot was
obtained. ridden pointed to neigh
borhood differences as the cause for
the drugging attempt.
Ridlen, who owns a drug
store at Twenty-third and Belle
fontaine streets, was awakened
when a folded blanket containing
cotton saturated with chloroform,
was thrown over his face.
Another blanket was thrown over
Mrs. Ridlen's face. She, was aroused
by her husband before the drug
took effect, but suffered face burns.
Had Overloaded Cotton
Ridlen told motor policemen
Otto Raash and Roy Reeves that the
persons who attempted 10 drug
them, had overloaded the cotton,
causing it to gag him, but taking
no effect. He said he yelled when he
awoke and heard the front door
slam. Police said traces of foot
prints leading from the front door
of the residence were found on the
terrace.
A twelve-ounce bottle, containing
about one ounce of chloroform, was
found in the living room of the resi-
dence. The blankets were obtained
from the front sleeping room of the
house where Mr.. and Mrs. William
Miller, parents of Mrs. ridden, were
sleeping.
Negroes to Take House
Miller's trousers pockets were ran
sacked, but nothing was taken.
Thieves did not touch Ridlen'S
trousers, which contained a con-
siderable amount of money.
Ridlen told police his police dog
was poisoned Monday afternoon and
he believed this was step taken by
the persons to insure success of
their scheme.
Police were told that the house in
which Ridlen lives was to be sold
today and occupancy of this prop
erty by various tenants, including
Negroes, has created i'll feeling in
the community.
ridden said he rents the property,
although the impression had been
given neighbors that he was the
owner.

POLITICAL POT IS BOILING

Now that the political field is cleared, as far as the regular party candidates are concerned, which incidently brought out only enough candidates to fill the leg islative ticket of the Republican party, and due to the fact that the democrats failed to muster enough names to fill a legislative ticket locally up to the time of closing of nominations last Tues day, Feb. 4th, it is well known fact around town that several in dependent candidates have the pol itical bee in their bCnnets and in tend to file their candidacy on or before the primary election April 51th, As usual in such cases, going on as to why there were not more candidates filed for office. but it never occurs to those ask ing the question as to why they themselves did not file or interest themselves in having someone el- Sc file before the time of closing of nominations. There is always a yearning among the citizenry for more political aspirants, and just ly there should be, for. like busir ness which needs competition, politics and our form of govern ment requires selection from those running to keep up the spir- it of AmericaniSm. The "vox popufi'' demand more gladiators in the ring. They may condemn them to death, but they want them there just the same.

The first and second division nominees for the legislature are also in the same article. The third division nominees will be found on page one.

FUR SHIPMENTS VERY LIGHT

SEWARD, Feb. 5, (R-Accord- ing to the records of the Alaska Railroad, shipments of fur this season equals twelve percent of those of last year. 245 licenses were issued in 1928 but only 1S6 were issued in 1929 at Anchorage.
 These figures contradict the statements of Dr w. s. Chase, chairman of the Alaska Game Co n mission who recently answered ap- peals from trappers in the Alaska railroad belt to change the regu- ations this year in order to per init trappers to harvest better fur catches and pay their grubstake bills. Practically from all parts of Alaska reports are pouring in of an exceptionally small catch of fur. A few weeks open season in the spring it is believed, will solve the problems. Chase said it was impossible to change the regulations within 90 days with out an enactment of Congress,
 The Game Commission figures are in much variance with the figures tabulated at Seward, the commission stating that there was d five percent increase in the num- Der of licenses issued and that the big fur shipment were doubtless delayed due to the Alaskan Air ways operaaonE in attempting to rescue Eiels0n.

SURVEY MAN
 REPORTS ON LONG TRIP

An interesting story which few years ago would have been classed an adventurous romance, was related by W. B. Miller of the Biological Survey, MT. Miller left Nome December 17th on the N. A. T. plane for Elephant Point, with R. B. Julian as a fellow pass enger bound for the same place. Mir Julian is in charge of the Lomen Reindeer Store there.
 Approaching the Arctic slope, Pilot Graham was driven from his course by foggy weather with stormy outlook. Dodging here and there for open spaces where visibility was partially good, and the short December daylight drawing gradually to close, it looked like forced landing. Just as darkness begun to spread and while flying low for the purpose of reconnaissance, their hearts were gladdened by the sight of some boats in what afterwards proved to be lagoon. Graham made a safe landing, and next day some native dog teams came along, who informed them they were 30 miles east of Shishmaref.
 After spending three nights, on the third day with flying weather, they took off About eighteen miles from Deering, they were forced to land, their gas supply being exhausted, The pilot evi- dently anticipated such an event, for he was flying high. Miller says he got thrill he will long remember, when the engine began to sputter and from their height the plane began to glide to earth. They were flying along the beach at the time; on the sea side were hummocks of ice massed up. But splendid landing spot loomed up and the plane lit as graceful ly as bird. Miller and Graham put on snow shoes at once and started for Deering. After tough mush, party exhausted as they were from the cold and the slim rations they had for two days, they reached their destination.
 
 Next day with dog team and gas supply they returned to the plane where Bob Julian had the engine heated up, and in short time took off for Deering where they landed safely.
 After spending three nights in Deering, clear weather came, on

OLAF PREVIOUS FOUND
 FROZEN TO DEATH
 P MILES FROM NOME,

The events leading up to the sad death of Olaf Renious, was told in detail by Tolbert Scott on his arrival in Nome yesterday af- ternoon from the solomon River section. MT. Renious was en- ployed by Scott and Nelson, who have a contract to float the hull of the Shovel Creek dredge. Jack Skain Jr. was working on the night shift at the dredge looking after the boiler. Scott and Rem ious were to relieve Skain in the morning and left usually at seven o'clock for their work.
 Scott left about 20 minutes to seven Saturday, Feb. 1st, for the dredge and relieved Skain. About half past seven Nelson came along with the team which is employed in scraping snow, and Scott asked if he saw Renious. He replied he had not seen him. Not having any apprehension that anything was wrong with the man, they continued with their usual work. At noon time they returned to the camp, and discussing the mat ter with Andy Nylen and Andrew Watson, the conclusion was reach ed, that he must have gone astray on his way to the dredge, dis lance of three quarters of mile.
 Acting on this reasoning Messrs. Nelson, Scott, Nylen and Watson started search of the surround ing country; especially around the dredge and hillsides. Return ing to camp from different direc- tions, when darkness set in, one trace only was. found. That was near camp where Nylen saw foot prints leading down hovel Creek.
 After making camp, Scott called up Nome, Solomon and the Gold smith dredge camp, but found no tidings of the lost man. From the Goldsmith dredge they learned that Alfred Hansen, generally known as the Champagne Kid" had left that Saturday morning for his cabin on Kasson creek, stating it might be advisable to look him up as he might be lost too.
 Next day, Sunday, the wind blew with such terrific force with a low temperature, that it was utterly impossible to travel. On Monday the weather relaxing it's severity, the men continued the search. They took up the foot prints which Nylen discerned on Saturday evening and followed them down the creek for dis rance of half a mile, when they turned up the bank and headed in a Northwesterly direction. What caused the man to head down the creek instead of the opposite dl- rection where the dredge lies, Will never be known.
 The men followed the tracks until they reached the head Of Mystery Creek, when the weather became so bad they had to re- turn to cammp. On the same day, Lucky Peterson who was at the Goldsmith dredge, started on skis down Solomon River, and search ed every cabin, going as far east as Spruce Creek and back to the

Scott Camp, without finding any trace of the lost man.
 Tuesday the storm was so bad that the wind whipped up empty oil drums and twirled them about like straws To attempt rescue work was impossible. Wednesday braving the elements, which still was nasty, Scott and Peterson with Tommy, the native boy, from Solomon, and his dog team, start ed for the head of Mystery creek, and taking up the tracks again followed them to the Honanza river. Here the tracks meandered in several directions, but finally head ed down stream. The lost man struck the Bonanza River about ten miles from its mouth. After travelling about six miles towards the mouth. the tracks were lost in number of others; either hunters or trappers.

 Fatigued. the searchers crossed to Solomon where they spent the night. Thursday, they went back to where they left of the evening before, and after vain efforts ex- pended in every direction gave up the search Scott and Peterson headed across the tundra for Saf- ety Roadhouse and the native Tommy, for Solomon.
 After Scott arrived at the Road house a telephone message came from Tommy at Solomon, stating that on his return he found single tracks at the old hunting club, that looked liked the ones they had been tracing, Scott called up the United States Commissioner, Charles w. Thornton, and inform ed him of the circumstances and requested that Tommy be author ized to follow the clew he had, discovered. The Commissioner ac- quesced and yesterday morning Tommy with another native fol- lowed the track5 which brought them out on the ice of Bering Sea to a distance of two miles, and there found the object of their search, frozen to death,
 The search by Tommy and the other native led them across hum mocks of ice piled in confusion. Evidently the poor fellow made desperate effort. for the marks showed distinctly where he had crawled on his hands and knees to within few feet of the water, and crawleds back agaln to the place where he was forced to give up the struggle. The body was brought to Nome Friday evening and is now in the Nelly under taking parlors.
 The story involving as it does the tragedy of death, with the agondzing battle Renious undoubt- edly fought, against the remorse- less blizzard: is relieved ill part of its gruesomeness, by the heroic efforts of the men who themselves dared and risked their own lives. to help save the life of their fel- low man.
