Chatanika Cronies. Carl Frederick and Chris ____. Carl had been trained for
the ministry in Finland. He was a wood cutter on the Chatanika River. When
he came to town and got drunk, he would sit at the counter of the Brooker
Cafe and pray. The second man was “swamper” at Shorty Smyser’s
saloon and was once caught lying under an open tap of a wine barrel.
