And Read 'Km and Stowed 'Km Rack Atop Mt. McKinley. That Dr. Frederick A. Cook, whose claims to have discovered the north pole have been discredited the world over, did, as he claims, reach the top of Mount McKinley is the statement made at Colorado Springs, Col., Thursday by P. J. Carrigan, a seaman and placer miner from Alaska. Carrigan, whose story is considered by Dr. Cook's former backer, John R. Hradley, extremely plausible, declares that he himself ascended the mountain and found the copper tube and records left there by Dr. Cock. After examining the records and American flag in the tube Carrigan restored it to tna niche In the boulder where he found it. This was in June, 1 907. Carrigan came to Colorada Springs recently from Galveston, Texas, to look t'or his old friend, James Casey, who was there in 1901 and 1902. Carrigan met Casey In the Alaskan gold field. He declares that Cusey knows of his ascent of Mount McKinley, and will vouch for his statements. Carrigan says he did not know until within the last month that the asrent of Mount McKinley claimed by Dr. Cook had been doubted. KhKW UP A KKlLKaK. Kxplosiotis* Sliatteied Windows Half! .Mile Away.
