Ten Injured in F reak Auto
Mishap Near City Saturday

crashed head on into the front of the
wrecker
The impact of the crash showed the
heavy wrecker and the Parker car back
about Is feet. Mr. Koshak who was
engaged in draining the car as a fire
prevention measure was caught in the
impact under the machine and sus-
tanned fractured leg and rib besides
head injuries in which he nearly lost
his ear. He was taken to the hospital
and later to his home. Toms who was
standing alongside, saw the car coming
and jumped out of danger. Dolenshak
also leaped aside after having had his
leg grazed and sustained flesh wound
In the meantime others had arrived
on the scene when a car with Into "
Wittila at the wheel and carrying Paul
Hanks and John Hill from Enbarrass,
came tearing through the flares and
other signals, says the deputy sheriff,
passed the scene Of the wreck not
withstanding that they had been sig
nailed to stop. Deputy Sheriff Dolen-
shak's car near the wreck, with all
danger lights and signals shining, was
nicked in passing.
The deputy sheriff, Notwithstanding
his injury, gave chase and after draw
ing up alongside the fleeing machine,
blowing his siren and ordering the
driver to halt, failed to stop it. He
then fired three shots at the fleeing
car, one of the shots taking effect in
the rear tire causing it to stop. The
occupans were placed under arrest and
lodged in the Ely jail
DR.. Gardner is a dentist at Brewer
vile, Minnesota, and with his son was
on his way to this city for a fishing
trip. The curve on which the wreck
took place is considered a very danger
Gus one and several accidents have hap
pened there.
Considering the number of people in
volved, it is lucky break that no fatal
results followed.
Wittala was fined $500 and costs or
sixty days in the county jail by Judge
Toms IN municipal court Monday morn
ing, and his driving license was re-
voked Hanka and Hill who were rid
ing with Wittala were finel SO and
costs which they paid. Wittala selected
the jail term and was taken to Duluth
Monday afternoon.

Occasion
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

New Dealers are having a
hemorrhage over the appoint
ment by President Roosevelt of
Paul V. McNutt as head of the
new federal security agency.
1t seems that McNutt is too able
for the bunch and would feel
better if he was fumbler who
might be counted on to hang
himself.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-08-03

President Roosevelt in speak
ing to the press conference
made the assertion that the
senate's shelving of the neu-
trality legislation had killed
the incest little business boom
you ever saw" On the very
day the president made the
statement, the stock market in
New York registered a rise of
from one to three points.

TRIPLE MURDER
IS SUSPECTED

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Terri
torial officials today were con-
fronted with what they believed
was a triple murder. En- route to
the remote cabin of a miner found
shot to death, they had stumbled
across the bodies of two other men,
their threats cut.
John Clark, sourdough, report
ed to u. S. District Attorney Joseph
Kehoe yesterday that he had found
the body of Richard Francis in his
cabin on Cache creek, nearly 100
miles north of Anchorage. Francis
had bullet holes in his body and
skull. A pistol was nearby.
Kehoe took posse to the cabin
and not far distant found the bodies
of Joy Brittell and F. w. Jenkins
in a mudhole.
Kehoe at first surmised Francis
had killed the pair, then committed
suicide, but an autopsy indicated
he had not fired a gun.
Meanwhile, authorities discover
ed the diary of Mrs. Jenkins, which
indicated that two men, unnamed,
were en- route to Clark's cabin to
claim a radio. But Mrs. Jenkins
could not be found for questioning
and Kehoe declared the investiga-
ton could not be completed until
she was found. Bodies of the three
men were brought to Anchorage
by airplans.
