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.
Damages of $10,000 are asked in the
complaint. It is alleged that young;
Alien, ou August 33, 1931, while m
ptoy?d aa a hoipickQr at the Lives
ley ranch attended a motion picture
show given for the- benefit of em
ployes and In the dark, walked off
a runway. 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. William Schott
hoefer who has been patrolman in
the district for number of years
has signed the petition for Nieman
along with a mtmber of other resi
dents of the district.
Francis J. Brown, farmer of
Klamath Falls; was- the only fa
tality listed as the result of Indus
trial accidents during- the past week.
The commission here however re
ported 434 accidents during that
period.
Tha estate of C. A. H. Fisher.
valued at nothing, has been admit
ted to probate with & M. EaAcott
administrator. The petition
states that the estate is being pro
bated for the sole purpose of trans-
terrlng stock made out toC. A.H.
Fisher and Mary Fisher.
