190141698Nome: The Nome News 1901. 1901. ALASKA CRIME. First edition. 15" x 22" newsprint 4 pp. printed in six columns. The newspaper is printed semi-weekly and this issue is dated August 17 1901. This newspaper is quite content-rich compared to most small papers of the era with considerable space devoted to original local news content. Problems of violence and frontier justice dominate this issue. A large headline on the front page blares "A Murderous Knife Wielded" and describes a fight over a woman in which one man's head was nearly severed. Another lengthy story reports that a gang of 65 masked men attacked a camp on Glacier Creek at three o'clock in the morning--leading to thirteen arrests and one man hospitalized with a gunshot would--all the result of a disputed mining claim the history of the dispute is recounted in the article. A separate editorial reacts to these events with a call for martial law at the camp concluding "A man may kill another in the heat of passion for principle and be justified but the man who deliberately plans to jeopardize life for gold over which there is a clouded title is a murder to all intents and purposes and deserves the fate of a murderer." Another article reports that Judge James Wickersham spent a day in Nome on his way to Unalaska where he will preside over two murder trials and that he is concerned about finding enough competent jurors. And yet another reports that 54 members of the Nome Bar Association have sent a signed petition to President McKinley requesting that he remove District Judge Arthur H. Noyes on the grounds that he "is vacillating and dilatory weak and partial negligent careless and absolutely incompetent" and that "the interposition of a fearless honest and competent judge is urgently required at Nome to prevent further riot and bloodshed to preserve law and order and to protect life liberty and property." The story of yet another murder also gold-related appears on the paper's last page where we also find the usual classified and display advertising. Several creases from folding and a small area of loss at the center shaped like a small triangle that affects all pages and measures 1/2" x 1/2" x 1." Good clean copy. The Nome News, 1901. unknown

473031874. Albumen print photograph carte de visite format 104 x 62 mm mount; the negative with caption in manuscript 'A.M. Copyright Registered'; verso with printed title in various fonts 'Photographs of The Burns Boys and the Bark Mill machinery by which they lost their arms at Portland' and 'Copyright Registered / ""Evening News"" office Sandhurst'; the print has a nick at upper right corner but is otherwise in good condition; the verso has some light marks. A rare photograph relating to a horrific accident that occurred in Portland on the far west coast of Victoria on 21 April 1874 involving two young brothers John and Thomas Burns. The photograph was published as one of a series of six cartes de visite of this gruesome subject. One of the other cartes showed the machinery involved in the accident and on its verso was printed the following text: 'How the Accident Occurred. The two brothers Burns who live at Portland aged respectively ten and twelve were going home from school one day in May sic 1874 and on their road stopped at a bark-mill which the elder began to feed and in doing so got his hands caught. The younger brother seeing this called for assistance and in endeavouring to release his brother got his own arms caught. Assistance being near at hand the machinery was stopped which prevented the whole of their bodies being drawn in and crushed to atoms. The doctor who was first called to attend them was equal to the dreadful task and successfully completed his work in less than twenty minutes. On its completion however both he and his attendants wept like children. It is gratifying to observe that the school children of Victoria have contributed the noble sum of over £2000 towards the Burns boys' support and also that the schoolmaster of Portland reports them as being two of the best conducted lads in his school.' The only example of this carte de visite of the Burns Boys we have been able to trace in institutional collections is in the State Library of Victoria which holds all six cartes in the series. However the SLV catalogue entry incorrectly attributes the group to the non-existent photographer Aiḿe Marchaud - a misreading of the actual photographer's name Aimé Marchand. Aimé Marchand was a professional photographer and proprietor of the Royal Photographic Company in Portland. Of French or Belgian origin and possibly formerly an assayer in California he appears to have begun photography in Tarnagulla on the central Victorian goldfields around 1865 as an assistant to A.B. Clay. By the following year he had settled in Portland where he opened the Royal Photographic Studio in Gawler Street. From his base in Portland he toured surrounding districts offering portrait and view services. Marchand earned a ""1st Class Honorable Mention"" in the 1866–67 Intercolonial Exhibition but little else is known about his life. He appears to have left Australia in 1878. A misprint of his name in a local directory as Annie Marchand created the misconception that he was one of only a few named women photographers in the colonies. The first published full account of the Bark Mill accident appeared in the Portland Guardian April 24 1874: 'SAD ACCIDENT TO TWO CHILDREN. On Tuesday last about 2 o'clock p.m. Mr. D. Kay's bark mill at the north end of Percy street was the scene of a frightful accident in which Thomas and John 11 and 9 years of age the sons of Mr Anthony Burns boatman have been both mutilated in a sad way and crippled for life. The circumstances of the accident so far as we can ascertain are as follow :- The two boys on then way to school went to play in the mill which is now sub-let with a number of boys. The eldest boy Thomas commenced feeding the machine with bark whilst the youngest boy John played in the shed or assisted in driving the horse that worked the mill in a circle. In another part of the same shed some boys were shying about pieces of bark already prepared for milling when one of the pieces coming in the direction of young Burns and distracting his attention both hands got caught in the machine spiked rollers and in an incredibly short space of time both arms were drawn in to the shoulders. The lad driving the mill horse terrified at the accident ran away when the younger Burns with a bravery beyond his years after a vain endeavour to stop the horse ran to the assistance of his brother. But here melancholy to relate the poor child was himself caught the right arm waa drawn in above the elbow and the left hand and part of the wrist dragged between the rollers. In this dreadful position both the children remained till some person of sufficient sense reversed the machine when the poor sufferers were taken up more dead than alive from fright and loss of blood. The boys were at once taken to their father's home but some time elapsed before Dr. Brewer's arrival and both at this time had bled so much that little or no blood followed when the quadruple amputation was subsequently performed. We think that the borough council should pass some bye-law compelling the proprietors of bark and other mills to box the machinery so as to guard against future accidents of this dreadful character. A small additional outlay in this case might have been the means of saving these two lads from a mutilation worse than death.' The local and wider community contributed enough funds to ensure that the two boys could be looked after reasonably well in later life. They were both cared for into adulthood by their older brother Harry. John Burns died in 1923 at the age of 60 but unfortunately spent the last part of his life in the lunatic asylum in the nearby town of Ararat. Thomas lived to be 88 dying in 1949. He was an accomplished singer in the choir at All Saints Church Portland. unknown
