The Valdez Miner comments in a pathetic strain upon the finding of the bodies of two men on the road leading toward Fairbanks, where they had been foully murdered, robbed and left to rot. The article states that the weeks which have elapsed since the killings took place may have afforded the murderers an opportunity to make their escape from the territory, but it is to be hoped that they will be captured and made to pay the full penalty. They have not only deprived the murdered men of their lives, but have destroyed the confidence of travelers in their fellow men until they have been captured and brought to justice.
