TWO MORE MEET I
DEATfHN WILDS
From the Whitehorse Star of
June 3Stb, we take the following:
The dead and practically air
dried bodies of A. L. bominy and !
Thoe Boyd were found three weeks
ago iu separate but adjoining cab
ings, near the mouth uf Swift creek,
oa the right limit of the lloot
alinqua river about SO miles above
Hootaliiiqua post. .Joe brewer, n
oioueer prospector and trapper, who
makes his home ten miles up the
river from Swift creek, where ho
has a mink ranch, made the grue
some discovery, having been request
ed by the police to make search for 1
two men, neither of whom had been •
seen since they left here .together,
but each in his own boat, ou the ,
31st of August, 1913.
News of the awful discovery was I
brought to Whitehorse by Cam
Smith and.Chas. Greime who went
to Teslin two weeks ago iu the
former's gasoline boat. Both
Smith and Greime visited the cab
ins where the bodies were founfl
and viewed the remains. The.story i
of the discovery of the bodies is
as follows: 1
All last year the few travelers
who passed up and down the Hoot- '■
alinqua river noticed two small
boats tied up near the mouth of
Swift creek, but as . that is what j
prospectors, huntt-rs and trappers,
who delve.Into the interior usually
do, nothing was though of it.
Three weeks ago Brewer visited
that locality and noticed a (lira
trail leading back into the woods
from where the two boats were
tied up. Following the trail, about
a quarter.of a mile he came to a
double cabin, or two cabins .standing
togetner but not connected by a
door. In each was a bunk and on
each bunk was the dean body of a
man covered with blankets. In each
cabin was a gun fully leaded. There
were no signs of violence. By the ,
side of one of the bunks was a
teapot containing tea leaves. In J
each of the cabins a diary was |
found the last .entry in one of
which was dated Feb. 2S, 1914.
The other left off several days.be
fore. ..;! i
In the diary kept by Dominy,
mention was made eaTly in Feb
ruary of the writer's health, .which
was recorded as very poor. His con
ditlon was attributed to.the drink
ing water. The last three entries
read: I
February 26—Am getting weak
er.
Febtuary .27—Am getting weak
er.
February 28—(The oue .word)
"Weaker."
In neither diary was mention
nia.de of the other's sickness
The police records here, made
when the two men left August 31,
1913, show that Dominy was then
55 years of age aud came from Lone
Pine, California, where he had a
family. Postmaster George Wilson
has several letters and post .cards
in his possession from Lone Pine
addiessed to .Dominy, one card
written only the 18th of last month
from 'Bella" to "Dear Dad." Boyd
had no relatives iu this country,
but give the name of a brother, an
officer iu a Scotch regiment, as
"Next of Kin." Boyd gave his
age as 50 years.

THE ACTION SITED THURSDAY
MAY CAUSE THE WORK TO CEASE
Washington, D. C., June 19—Re
sisting the efforts of the Canadian
vendors of the Alaska Northern
Railroad to have a .receiver ap-,
pointed for the distribution of the
moneys received from the Bale,
Government Attorney. Cotton today
said that a receivership would .be
fatal to the project of the govern
ment taking over the .railroad, ae
it would be a tentative order for
payment of tho moneys to the Can
adian vendors, signed by the count.
Action was begun Thursday,
which may cause the government to
cease work on the proposed gov
ernment railroad at Seward and
Ship creek.!
Justice Stafford, of the supreme
court, isrued an order citing Sec
retary McAdoo, Assistant Treasurer
Burke and the American Security &
Trust company to show caus© yes
terday; why a ■restraining order
should not ,be issued to prevent
them from paying the Canadian
vendors of the Alaska Northern $1,
500,000, as agreed by the govern
ment, July 1st, and why a receiver
should not be appointed to distri
bute the money among the various
persons claiming interest in the
railroad property. ' 1 •
The suit is being brought in be
half of E. A. Shedd & Co. and John
it. j aoiiiyson 01 unitago, me lku
ers of about $300,000 worth o£^
bonds in the old Alaska Central.
Their bonds represent .money ad
vanced to build the first 20 miles
of the railway out of Seward and
to acquire and construct terminal
bufldines. They claim that no part
of (he original outlay has ever
been returned or provided for in the
more recent transactions engin
eered by the government.
It is charged that G. T. Clarkson
representing the committee of Can
adians which made the .deal with
the government agreed to pay August
Hecksher of New York $200,000
£or assistance iu promoting the
sale.
It is also charged that Clarkson
was to pay over $100,000 to .Otto
Rbaason in consideration of hii
causing to be dismissed a suit^which
was recently brought against the
AlaEka Northern at Valdez in the
federal court, and which threatened
to cloud the ( title and prevent the
sale to the government.
Th* funds for these beneficiaries,
it is charged, were to be paid out
cf the proceeds of the sale to the
government by the Canadian bond
holders. •
Other charges allege dissipation
ot nsaets In .general.
Tl :* bill also charges that if tho
(leal now pending between the gov
ernment and the Canadian bond
heldere la carried out that the en
tire proceeds will go to .the Cana
dians and that all equities of Am
ericans in the property will be
lopt.
According to the terms of the
sale the railroad was to be turned
over to the government July 1st
free cf a.11 incumbrance.
It suggested that the govern
ment, failing to get title cleared to
thu Alaika Central, may decide to
continue ite line from Ship creek?
and find another harbor for a ter
minaj^at tidewater, \thich would
leave the railroad from Seward iso
lated.
The new phase of the case is
cxciting unusual interest.
