SURVIVES ONL5' »A fEW HOURS
AFTER RBAOHINO THE AN
CHOR HOSPITAL.
Gus Kunqgren, who was taken Fri
day from Takotna to Anchorage bj
Pilot Matt Nieminem in an Alaski
Airways piane. died at the Anchorage
Hospital early the following morn
ing, according to word brought here
Mr. Kundgren, attended by Miss
Freda konig as nurse, had beer
brought up here Thursday by Einoj
Carlson in iris fast power boat, com
ing up in five and & half hours, in the
hope a fcatching a plane that day,
He was very weak when he arrived
here.
The story of Mr.. Rundgren’s ill
ness, his rescue from his cabin up the
Kuskowim and his. passing at the An
chorage Hospital is well told by the
Anchorage Times, which .says:,
“Rescued by a native in an isolated
section of the Kuskokwim district,
where he was discovered in a helpless
condition during the early spring,
lius Kundgren was brought to the
Anchorage Hospital yesterday frpm
Takotna foor treatment for an aggra
vated case of heart trouble, his.com
dition being very serious,,,,..
“The story ,oa>f. the rescue wap
brought over by Bilot J^tt,-.A- Nie
'nw»es, who flew the- new Standard
j ^bin plane of the Alaska Airways to
Takotna yesterday to get the ick
sick man, returning with him during
the afternoon. Rundgren, who is an
oldtimer of the Interior, has been en
gaged in trapping during the last five
l years, having established a camp
about 200 miles up the river. from
Merry's Landing and remained'in that
isolated region continuously during
that time. Early in the spring a na
tive chanced across the Rundgren
camp and found the oldtimer in a
helpless condition and suffering
greatly. Owing, to the nearness bf
. the breakup, the man eould not be
, i moved over the trail, so the native
, ■ waited three weeks for the river, to
open and then set out with the. old
timer in a small boat fqr the Land
ing. Upon arrival there- the sidesman
was turned over to Fur Farmer
Berry, who continued the, journey
down stream to Met!rath. Rundgren
was placed in the Ogrlaon, speedboat
at that point,and hurried \pp the Ta
kotna river to-.Tak^pa, giving these I
the day before. Pilot; Ni.eminen made j
the flight from Anchorage.
“Pilot.vN ■» >. parsed j through
Rainy Pass, both going and copiing,
and ,the flight; was .a. successful one
in every way.
“The condition of Rundgren was.,
such when, he reached the hospital
I that Jlittlp could be done fof him and
death came at .an. early hour this,
morning^ , It. is suspected, that caneer
of the stomach may have contributed!
to .his. passing, but this cannot he de-j
termined without a nautajpsy, and
this is not deemedt necessary since
deat% was plainly due . to , natural
causes. The, cancer suspicion was
aroused by statementt made by Rund
gren after he had reached the hos
pital, in attempting, to describe his
condition when he first became ill.
“The deceased was 66 years oof age
and is survived by a sister, Mrs. E. A.
Saostman, and, a , brqther, Arthur
Rundgren, reiding at. Mount Vernon, ,
Wash. They have been informed of
their brother's death and the body is
being held, at the Anchffrage Funeral
Parlors pending the,,receipt of in
structions from them."
