MAN IS LOST BELOW CHENA
William Brown, of Nenana, Drops From Sight on His Way Up River.
FEARED HE IS INSANE.
Was Coming Up to Chena, But Changed His Mind Four Miles Below.
The manager's office was this afternoon notified of the disappearance of William
Brown, who lives near the station of Nenana, under circumstances such as lead to
the belief that the man is insane. Brown came up from Nenana on the last trip of
the Martha Clow, bound for Chena with some spuds and fish for sale. He left the
boat at a joint four miles below Chena, saying that he was going to walk up to
Chena, but instead he started off down river again.
Taking a boat that he found on the river boat he got stranded in a blind slough
eight miles below Chena. He waded ashore and made his way to Bill Haveridge's
place located on an island. Haveridge states that Brown was acting queerly and
he had suspicions of his sanity. Telling Brown to wait at the cabin and dry
himself, Haveridge let and returning 15 minutes later, he found Brown gone.
Haveridge then searched the island, but found no trace of Brown, and, so far as
is known, he has not been seen since.
Brown had stated that he was going to _____ [Bates?], as well as to Chena, but
_____ at the creek town has failed to elicit any word of his having arrived
there. He had also communicated with Anthony Conlon in Fairbanks, asking him to
meet him in Chena.
The marshal's office is taking what steps are possible to try to locate the
missing man.

SHIP'S LOG LYONS' FLOATING COURT
NOME, Aug. 14.-- Trying six cases in eight days at Billingham, finding four of
the defendants guilty and according the other two, was the record made by the
floating court presided over by Judge T. R. Lyons on the present trip which
started at Valdez, July 15. At present there are on board the revenue cutter
Thetis six prisoners who are being taken out, for being those convicted at
Billingham and to being insane persons who will be taken sows for confinement.
Court was convened at Billingham on the afternoon of July 29 and the grand jury
sworn in at that time. In two days the federal inquisitors had investigated the
six matters and return six true bills, the first case being set and tried on the
first day of August.
Those convicted and now on board the revenue cutter in charge of Deputy United
States Marshal George Goshaw and three special guards are: Frank Fragomene, an
Italian convicted of murder for killing a fellow Italian and sentenced to life
imprisonment--the crime was committed at Tlacanak; Deniccio Flores is going out
to serve a sentence of 10 years at hard labor for stabbing a Mexican at the
Creek cannery; M. Sato was sentenced to six years imprisonment forged a shooting
affray at Nushagak--Sato was allowed a new trial and pleaded guilty to a lesser
charge than the first one against him; Edward KKalilikane will serve a sentence
of 18 months for wounding a Mexican at Koggiung.
The two acquittals were W. C. Taylor, charged with rape, and Anastasio Costello,
charged with murder.
The court was closed for the term of 1912 on the morning of August 8 and the
following day the Thetis with the officials on board started for Nome to leave
Judge Lyons and Ralph A. Robertson, his stenographer.
From this city the Thetis proceeds to Valdez by way of Port Clarence, St.
Lawrence and the seal islands, Unalaska, Kodiak and Seward. It is expected that
the cutter will sale sometime tomorrow.

DRILLING ON EVA CREEK
Hagan-Erceg Keystone is at Work Trying to Find Pay Extension.
ON THE EVA ASSOCIATION.
It is Believed That Happy Home Paystreak Will Be Lined Up.
The Hagan-Erceg Keystone drill has been moved to the upper end of Eva Creek for
the purpose of lining up the extension of the paystreak on that busy little
producer. E. R. Walker, who has charge of the drill operations, was in town
yesterday for some necessary supplies to affect repairs on the drill.
The claim on which the work is being done is the Eva Association, owned by
Wheeler, Wagner, Beegler & Wichman. Nick, Dan and Associates have a lay on it
and it is they who have are having the drill work done. It is believed the
extension of the happy home paystreak, worked during the past two seasons, will
surely be found, as it heads in such a direction as would indicate that it cuts
the Dan lay.

MOVING TO GRAND HOTEL
Tom Rockwell at Cleary City Finds Present Quarters Too Small.
FAMOUS OLD LANDMARK.
Grand Hotel is One of Largest and Best Built Places in Country.
The Grand Hotel of Cleary, closed since the balmy days of the Creek town, is to
be once more thrown open to the accommodation of the public, the building having
been rented by the proprietor of the Igloo, located further down the street. Tom
Rockwell, the genial host of the igloo, expects that he will be able to announce
the grand opening of the place by the end of next week.
Activities in the quartz operations in the neighborhood have made large quarters
for the Igloo necessary, the sleeping accommodations in the building proper
having been somewhat restricted. The grand Hotel is one of the finest lawn
buildings in the North, and when Cleary was busy in the days of the big placer
operations, it was a much patronized resort. It was run at that time, and is at
present owned, by A. J. Nordale.

CASE WILL GO TO JURY AT 5:30 THIS AFTERNOON
Arguments Are Now Being Made in the Cooper Murder Trial and It is Probable That
the Fate of the Colored Man, Charged With the Killing of William Wimbish, Will
Be Determined Tonight.
The taking of evidence in the Cooper murder trial was completed at 11:30 this
morning and the court took a recess until this afternoon at 2 o'clock. At that
time the arguments were commenced, assistant district attorney J. K. Brown
opening for the government, and attorney Roth making the opening argument for
the defense. District attorney Crossley and attorney Adams are making the
closing arguments. It is probable that the case will be in the hands of the jury
at 5:30 PM, as the court has limited the arguments on each side to 1 1/2 hours.
Judge Murane yesterday overruled the motion made by the attorneys for the
defense for an instructed verdict of not guilty and the first witnesses for the
defense were put on the stand shortly after 4 o'clock.
John Conna, bartender at the California, testified that Wimbish, in the
California, had said that it was his intention to go up to the Chandler and work
on some quartz properties.
The attorneys having at this time signified that they had but one or two
witnesses to put on, and would be through with their side before noon, Judge
Murane adjourned court until this morning.
This morning the first witness called was Fred Martin, of the California, who
testified that sometime in September, 1910, Wimbish told him that he was going
to the Chandler or the Koyukuk by way of Chandler, he was not sure which.
John Conna was then recalled, but all of the questions put to him by the
attorneys for the defense were objected to and the objections thereto sustained.
This closed the case for the defense, and Jerry Moore was recalled in rebuttal.
He testified that after the conversation alleged to have taken place in the
California, Wimbish entered into negotiations with him in regard to the purchase
of some Caribou Wimbish wanted for a winter meat supply.
Fred Lehners testified that he had been in the Koyukuk country for some time and
that he had never seen nor heard of Wimbish in that district.
William C. Harp testified that in November, 1910, Wimbish was negotiating with
him in regard to the purchase of a boiler on one above Gilmore.
The last witness called was O. J. Nicholson, who testified that he knew
everybody up in the Koyukuk and that there was only one colored man they are,
mulatto named Cressey who had been there prior to 1910.

DID WELL ON TENDERFOOT
Two Outfits at Work on the Creek This Summer Well Satisfied.
YOUNGGREN SELLS OUT.
His Interest in Number Nine Is Accquired by His Two Partners.
Ernest Albrecht, who came down from tenderfoot a couple of days ago with a good
size poke, reports that only two outfits have been working on the Creek during
the summer. These were Albrecht, Lawrence and Younggren on nine below bench, and
Hern and Jorgensen on seven below Creek claim. The operations were entirely
satisfactory from the financial standpoint.
Younggren's interest in number nine has been purchased by Albrecht and Lawrence,
who will work the ground again next summer on about the same scale. This summer
there were eight more employed on the claim. Hern and Jorgensen have been
working about a dozen men.
A. J. Younggren, having disposed of his interest, is about to start on a year's
trip to the old country, intending to visit the interesting points in Europe
before he returns.
There will be considerable work done on Democrat pop this winter, as also, on
Banner Creek.

BERG LANDS ON NEW PAY
Said to Have Struck Into Good Ground on Ready Bullion Creek.
JUST BELOW MIHALCIK'S.
Much Activity is Expected Both in Placer and Quartz on Ester Creek.
That Ed Berg, who was working a lay on Bert Currier's ground on the right limit
of of Ready Bullion, has recently run into some very good pay in the work
brought by recent arrivals from Ester. Berg was for two years foreman for
Mihalcik, taking delay from Currier a few months ago, and the ground he is
working on a joins Mihalcik's.
At the present time it looks as if the winters activities on Ester will be
equally as large as last winter in the placer line and so many have good-looking
quartz properties on the hills that they intend pushing development on, it is
certain that the little town has a busy season ahead.
