MOUNTtES PLOD THROUGH STORM Aklavik, Northwest Territory, Feb. 13 tut A wiud that whipped the brittle arctic enow a thousand feet into the air scourged the desolate Rat river barrens today where Iwo (muffled figures plodded slowly in the faint trail of Albert Johnson, mad trapper. The men were Quarter ma iter R F. Riddeli and Sergeant Hersey of the Royal Canadian Mounted police and tlwy were tracking the crazed oudiiiuui who has defied the corps six weeks, killed one officer and wounded another. Only the piercing wind and thun dering cracking of ice in the 50 de grees below zero temperature broke the silence as the men mushed for ward. But as their eyes strained to follow the tracks, drift- r'oscured and almost invisible in the per'tetual twi light of the northern winter, they saw the footsteps slowly shortening. It signified, they reported by ra dio, the beginning of the end. John son, driven mad by the Isolation of Uie wild country, la weakening. His frantic fllttht is almost over. Tho coiistabW feared their quarry would succumb to the bitter cold and star vation before they capture him. Under almost impassible flying; conditions. Captain W. R. Wop" May was aiding the dramatic hunt. Despite tha terrific wukU which, sent whirlpools of snow hundreds of feet into the r, he- took off from here and flew 100 miles north to the scene of the bunt. It was his task to find Johnson if possible- and bomb him into the o)eu if the trapper has again built a barricade similar to those from which he successfully re sisted earlier police attacks. The hardy sourdoughs in the main posse which followed Riddeli and Hersey at soma distance, however, felt certain Johnson could not be taken alive. His chances of survival in the icv weather are too slight, they believed. The weather took Its toll, too, among pursuers. Four officers of the mounted police staggered into this outpost half frozen from the se vere exposure of the chase. They were in serious condition. Judgment of voluntary non-suit lias been, taken in circuit court hi the carte- of Elvin Allen, minor, by A, A. Allen, his guardian, against T. A. Llvesley & Company and a new compliant Hied by the same plain tiffs against T. A. Llvesley and John J. Roberta, doing business under the name of T. A. Llvesley At Company.

He alleges that he sus tained a fractured thigh, and by reason thereof has been permanent ly incapacitated. He charges that the defendants by exercise of rea sonable care could have known that the runway was dangerous. Emma C. Randall has been named administratrix of tha estate of Fiances M. Randall who was killed by a Southern Pacific train in Salem on January 4. The per sonal property of the estate la val ued at $259 in addition to a claim for an unstated amount against the Southern Pacific growing out of the death of the deceased. A petition has been filed with the county court asking that Henry J. Neiman be appointed road super visor in district No. 44 near the Skyline orchard.
