WHERE IS “BLUEBERRYHID?”
». MANY OLDTIMERS ARE ASKING
Wlrie^e.,s the “Blueberry Kid?”
That is the question more than one
oldtimer has been asking himself who
has been reading about the “strang
lers” vict r. ■ !•!. the Pacifc Coast.
The “BIu<. •(.. . hid” is said by au
thorities ; !: . meed his career
to have , .4,-st six victims
in Alaska. A£t.:r tuardering “Dutch
»lu.-;e" ana iier two companions on
the Koyukuk river, he was followed
by a detec;ivs who is now in Ketch
.kan. sa.ys the Chronicle. After the
Koyukuk murder he burned his launch,
in a side slough of the Koyukuk, and
caught one of the. big boats on the
Yukon for the Outside. From Marie !
he secured nugget jewelry, some of ]
which he raffled off on the steamer
and fram her he secured also $10,000
The two men also had large pokes,
of gold dust. At Seattle he turned
the gold dust into money and regis
tered at a hotel under an assumed
name. He deposited the money in
a bank and then changed accounts.
He dsappeared, bnt later it was
found he had been working in a log
ing camp. Later he went to San
Francisco,picked up a woman compan- !
ies and was next heard of in Texasv
•Along about this time the govern
ment was getting short of money for
“investigating” purposes and the spec-!
ial investigator, was called In because
of lack of funds. In tracing the re- j
cord of the Blueberry Kid, it was
claimed that he murdered an east-|
ern mining man for whom he acted!
as guide to Lituna Bay. He left
Dowson to go down the Yukon
River, and the man who left with him
Was never heard of again. In Fair
banks he worked at his trade as a
stationary .engineer, an,d acquired
the launch “Seal Pup”. He made a i
trip during the Innoko strke with a
nan who never turned up. His next
venture was into the Koyukuk, and
it. was some true before the murder
of Dutch Marie was discovered.
They had started down the river
with the Blueberry Kid. in his launch
to eaten a Doai ior tng outsige. me
