1.-THE Eskimo was net merely drunk, but
] thoroughly poisoned. He had a swollen
stomach, he rushed about, sometimes foaming
at the mouth, and II he managed to get hold
of an AK or knife he would rush about like
madman and murder any one who crossed his
path.
"A man poisoned in this way would only stare
straight in front Of him, and the people Cleared
out of his way If they could net manage to over
come him and tie him up. I saw some awful
murders in Eskimo village. where there were
eight men poisoned in this way and they
murdered close upon 80 people"
In addition, the blind tigers" would often
victimize white gold-hunters and trappers, get
ting them blind drunk and then stealing all CT
their possessions and leaving them to die. So
1t is that the northerners unite to drive out
Illicit liquor selling and to punish the peddlers
with unparalleled severity.
When a man was discovered under the ef-
fects of this vile liquor, says Welzl, the first
thing his neighbors would do would be to tie
him up so that he could not harm any one, and
give him some medicine to counteract the ef-
fects of his potations Then, soon as he
came to (f he did come to) they would try to
find out from him who had sold him the booze.
Meanwhile the Eskimos and trappers would
be making inquiries all around whether any
strangers had been in the vicinity and where
they had gone They would look for tracks in
the snow and fer traces of camping sites; and
as soon as they had fair idea who the boot
logger was and where he was headed for posse
would be formed to go in pursuit.
1.-THE only people who stayed at hcme were
the old people, women. children and the
injured and sick, says Welzl. otherwise
everybody was out and about, however bad the
weather might be. Whatever else there might
be to do they all equipped and on the
move with their dogs
Once the chase was begun it continued until
the fugitive was caught until he had got
clean away. The pursuers would spread out
fanwise combng the country in swath sew
eral miles wide. If they lost the trail, they
would meet together end vote on whether they
should continue or not.
Sometimes, when cornered, the bootlegger
would show fight. This, says Well, is often
the case where a number of bootleggers are
travelling together. Well-armed, they would dig
in and fight it out with their pursuers, and
such battles-while they almost always ended
in the determination of the bootlegger-usually
caused several casualties among the posse.
At other times the bootleggers would be
found in an artificial C;,re or hut OF snow and

HE United States Is not the only land
where there are bootleggers.
Far up the northern rim OF
Siberia, and in the froSt-bound IS
lanes beyond that fringe the Arctic
Sea- they know all about bootleg
uers-and consider them 10 times the curse
that bootleggers considered in the United
Statec.
Furthermore, whan a bootlegger does ap-
pear he gets rough treatment
Let news of his presence be whispered
around the neighborhood, and all the men in
stantly drop everything and form posse TO
chase him.
If they catch him they have trial on the
spot-a trial that seldom lasts more than a
few minutes If they convict him land they
usually do) they generally burn him to death:
This amazing story of Arctic justice is told
by Jan Well, Czech trader who has spent
more than 80 years in the far North, building
up tidy little fortune by travelling over the
frozen wastes selling supplies to gold hunters,
trappers and Fskimos.
WeIzl recently wrote book Thirty Years
In the Golden North" telling Of his expert

he describes the far Norths summary way oil

THE book seems destined to start good deal

Arctic explorer has declared that 1t contains
many false state ements and asserts he believes it
to be a hoax; other Arctic experts however,
have warmly defended it, and the publishers
have stood by it's authenticity.
Be that as it may. the book contains some
stirring chapters on Arctic justice.
To begin with, it should be explained that the
Siberian northland is hostile to the bootlegger
chiefly for two reasons.
First, the booze that he sells is almost always
Incredibly bad-rank, poisonous stuff that would
make the 10-cent smoke" of New Yorks "HelFs
Kitchen" seem like smooth old bonded stuff.
1t causes blindness. insanity, death.
Second, the bootlegger in Northern Siberia
usually sells to the Eskimo; and an Eskimo full
of this rotgut instantly becomes public menace.

They distilled it (their brandy from
special sort of black gum, to which they added
a little su'phuric acid and methylated spirits
This produces dark, evil-smeing liquid with
a loatlsome taste. The white man would not
drink it, so when they wanted to victimize the
Polar settlers they added little good brandy
to it,

Eskmcs These dealers in liquor, who came
up north and whom We call blind tigers would
offer Eskimo brandy, for which he would
give furs in return, and when he had got drunk
the blind tiger would rob him of everything and
then clear off. -

who was inside at the time.
\h /HEN the bootlegger was captured alive.
w there would be an immediate trial.
1--WE conducted our trials according TO the
old Indian system Of justice" says Welzl. "As
we have no prisons, it is easy to understand
that the only penalty we have Is the death
penalty. II man is found guilty, he IS put
to death If his guilt is not sufficient to justify
so severe punishment, he is acquitted.
1.-The jury consists of IL men. AS rule.
more than half of them are white. One Of
these 12 is the head juryman and he and the
supreme Judge of the district in charge Of
the proceedings. In addition to these l3 there
are two prosecutors who at the same time are
witnesses of the whole trial and sign the
minutes.
when the culprit is caught the trial be-
gins. In the Northern areas and in Arctic
waters this trial takes place in the spot where
the CulpIlI Is CdueHI
"As soon as the culprit has been tied up. the
head juryman and his II associates withdraw
and each of them receives black mask. What
it really consists of is a weird garment reach

oner 1t is a terrifying sight in itself when
these judges in black take up their positions
on a white icefield or in the snow.
"The two prosecutors then come forward and
announce that they identify the man who is
being tried"
Then the trial proceeds. The prisoner Is per-
mitted to tell his story and If he likes, to
make plea for mercy. Then the jury re-
tires to deliberate.
AS Well points out, there is no need to give
the jurymen such evidence, since they have all
been on the posse know all about the case and
have pretty good idea of their own whether
the fight man has been caught.
Assuming that the culprit Is convicted, the
jury can sentence him to death in one OF three

and sledge are soaked in benzine, and the whole
lot is Immediately set on fire. The whole thing
is over in seven minutes at the outside"
Once in a great while, Well says, 1t hap

Now and then the Polar settlers will be
warned by friends in some such Northern city
as Nome, Alaska that blind tiger or q bandit
is coming to their neighborhood. They will be
unable to proceed at once against the man beS
cause he has, as yet committed no crime; but
they do not care to wait until some one haa
been robbed, poisoned or murdered before acts

So they send some one to the man and warn
him to leave the district at once; and at the
same time word is sent to trappers and Eskimos
that any one who finds the man in the n -ighS
borhood "a hours after he has been warned tQ
leave may shoot him on sight.
That" remarks Well, practically amounts
to a sentence of death, because there are often

This man passed by Welzl's place on his way
to a distant trading post, and asked if he
might leave a number of boxes of merchandise
with him until his return. Well assented and
put the boxes in his cave.

Naturally, a dozen or more armed
men keep their guns leveled at him
while he is making his choice, so
that he cannot use his weapon ON
his captors.
THE head juryman counts 10

Death by shooting is inflicted ~
a firing squad, much as it is done
in any other part Of the world.
Death by fire, the most horrible
penalty of all, is the penalty almost
invariably imposed on bootleggers,
says Well, especially If they have
robbed their victims after making
them drunk, or if they have re-
sisted arrest.
''As soon as the jury has passed
this sentence" says Well, the
jurymen fling themselves on the
prisoner and tie him to his sledge.
Then they raise up the sledge and
pour several gallons Of benzine
down the prisoners neck, drenching
his clothing completely.
