Bureau of Indian Affairs in Al- aska. | While the epidemic is reported to be less severe than that which occurred at Angoon, two deaths were reported within the week in| mail arriving on the last voyage of the Kenai, Dr. Murray said. As this was the first that had been heard of the situation, it is thought certain that it developed within the last week.

Butler, bureau nurse in that place, who arrived in Juneau on the Mission boat Princeton yesterday, Dr. Murray said. Miss Butler brought in a patient, Robert Jamestown, whose recovery seemed extremely slow, | % and entered him in the Govern-| ment Hospital for treatment.
