Did Herman Hinsche
Meet Death in Flames?
Fairbanks News-Miner: It. has been
learned by the marshal’s office here
that Axel Uedlund, a trapper, another
named Chappell, and a native named
Justin Frank, while traveling along
the Tolovana river about thirty miles
across country from the Minto road
house, in the Hot Springs precinct,
discovered a cabin that had burned to
the ground. Investigating, they found
that there were the charred remains of
a human being in the ashes, and the
remains of a 30 40 rifle.
Some time ago Herman Hinsche, a
trapper, who was believed to be par
tially insane, left McGrath to go oo a
trip to the Hot Springs section of the
country for fur. ft is believed that
this is the man that came to.his tragic
end in this burned cabin, as- there is
evidence of a letter, which has not been
made public, having been tacked to a
tree near the cabin, written by Hinsche,
and its contents would teud to sbow
that Hinsche was stopping there.
The marshal’s office here has given
instructions, that • an investigation
should be held by the deputy marshal
and commissioner of the Hot Springs
precinct, and also instructed the com
missioner to hold an inquest over the

Denies There Is Dan
ger in ‘Filthy Lucre5
Chicago.—There is no such thiog ao
"filthy lucre,” according to the Jour
nal of the American edical Associa
tion, which states that ‘•dirty money”
is not anywhere nearly as dangerous to
the life and health of its intimate
friends as the world has been led to
suspect.
Bacteriological investigations, ac
cording to the Journal, show that
“somehow there seems to be something
in the composition of the printed bill
that acts unfavorably on bacterial
life.”
Fewer germs live oo a German mark
' thao are found in a teaspoonful of good
market milk, and coins are stiil
healthier, the Journal says.
