G. C. Betties Tells of
Death of Charlie Wor
den, on Lower River
Napumute, Nov. 3.—I left Russian
Mission, Yukon, on October 7th with
Mail Carrier Oscar SamueUon. We
got sloop nicely until we reached the
last lake, where wc were delayed by
wind f- r twelve hours. W7e decided to
cache part of tha mail and take a
chai ce. We started across the lake,
and by steady bailiug we reached the
opt! >ng to Crooked creek, which we
tv covered with ice. We were able
t tu eak it ahead of the boat, however,
by tiie use of a heavy pole. These coo
dttious continued until we reached the
Kuskokwim river, which we did Oc
tober 11th, to find that ice wa9 running
and that it was impossible to navigate
up stream, as I intended. So 1 con
tinued down stream as far as the
mouth of the Tulusak river, and there
1 remained until October 29th, when in
company with Al Walsh and A. M.
Springer I started up river. Traveling
conditions were tierce, as the river
froze up in extremely high water and
left no beach line, the ice being right
out in the willows.
We reached Ohagamute November
' 11th. election day, in time to cast our
votes.
When we landed at Russian Mission,
November 6tb, wo learned of the death
of Charlie Worden, who had passed
away October 18th and had been buried
October 22nd.
Rev. father Bereskin, the Russian
priest, officiated at the funeral cere
mony, and the entire church choir
sang hymns. Father Bereskin. al
though a Russian, is well Fead in the
English tongue, -and the funeral was
well conducted aad well attended, as
Charlie Worden was loved by the
whole community. A most suitable
location was found for tne grave,
which is on the bank of the Kusko
kwim, and we hope in the near future
to see a monument erected with the
following epitaph inscribed on it:
An honest man here lies at rest.
As ere God with his image blessed;
The friend of man, the Iriend of truth,
The friend of age and guide of youth;
Few hearts like his with virtue warm,
Few heads like his with knowledge so
inform.
We visited the school yesterday and
found all the seats filled, the shortage
of seats and space being the only rea
son for the present uumber of children
in attendance, twenty pupils, as Mrs.
Hopkins, the teacher, informed us. In
