Description
Summary:Alaskans Seek Special Patrol. ALASKANS SEEK SPECIAL PATROL ANCHORAGE, Alaska, (/P) -- Agitation for a patrol system like that of the Canadian mounted police has grown out of the recent disappearance of two old-time prospectors. Kris Kline, one of the missing men was traced to a crevasse across a glacier trail. The other, Mike Trapke, disappeared while journeying from Talkeetna to Susitna, a distance of 60 miles. Both are believed to have perished. It developed that regulations do not permit a marshal or deputy marshal to leave the beaten highways to investigate alleged crime or to give aid to men in distress, unless so ordered by the district court and by it provided with funds to degray expenses.
