Unknown FoOtpad Attempts
 to Rob Mrs DeNortOn.
HIGHWAyMAN ESCAPED
Two Women Followed From Down Town by Man and One Attacked
 After They Had Separated-Mrs DeNorton Could Not Describe Him

Mrs. Susie De Norton was held up last night while crossing Eighth avenue from Mayor Peoples residence to the home of Mrs. C. E. Hooker, at about ten o'clock last night by foot pad and probable high wayman. The would be robber was frightened by approaching pedestrians and escaped into the darkness.
 Mrs. De Norton was downtown shopping with Miss Becker and returned home to MT. Peoples residence about ten o'clock.
 When coming up Broadway, she noticed that man followed her at distance of about fifty feet. She then did not notice the man very closely and later could not give description of him. Arriving at the corner of Eighth avenue, Miss Becker went across the street to her home and Mrs De Norton went in the front door of Peoples residence. She noticed that the man, who had followed her home, stood on the corner watching th house. He walked by several times anc. tried to look

should be sufficient business to run it

should be sufficient business to run it daily.
 "1 can understand why the people here should want daily service. It would certainly contribute to their trade and I will put the Alert on a daily schedule at once if operating ex- penses be guaranteed, and l will de- pend on an increase in business to get returns on my investment.
 "I do not see what use 8 telephone would be unless you had a steamer, and then it would be of little use unless it was carried on into the Porcupine country.
 People would not use & telephone except in rare instances. With boat to Haines and telephone extending into the Porcupine country the people of Skagway would be in good condition to handle that business.
 ''C. E. Dickerman has no steamer at all. He bought steam barge short time ago and paid $5 down on it, but never put up any more money. The machinery has since been taken out of the barge, and she is being used to lighter freight from the Cutch."
The daily morning Alaskan., 1900-10-28

The agitation for daily steamboat to dant evidence that Capt. CampbelI's prop osition to run the Alert daily to that port will be accepted.
 John Kalem. in his usual straightforward manner said yesterdiv: Whats the use of telephone to Haines if we have no steamboat connection? What good would a telephone be to me or any other business man today? Would anyone telephone for goods, or would l ask for orders by tele- phone. while the opportunity of filling the orders is so uncertain?
 'lt is starting WI ong end first, as we do so many times up here. If we had a S eamboat this winter should myself go down to Haines and try to work up trade and l have no doubt other merchants would do the same. When we have made business then would be the time for a telephone.
 But even then there would not be much in 1t. when a man could send his order by boat and get the goods when the boat re- turns. A good boat will make Haines in a couple of hours, so where would be the use of going to the expense of telephoning.
 "l am strongly in favor of subsidizing a steamer to Haines, and am certain the mer- chants of this city. who join with me, will not regret it."
 Mayor Peoples says: "We should have daily boat at once. Every merchant, hotel man, saloon man or other business man should put up cash fund as guar antee for the expense of daily steamboat. It should go on at once, so that by the time the trade becomes brisk it will be running in the Skagway channel. Skag- way needs the trade of the Porcupine re- zion. At the present time we have a good business in the summer months. Some thing is needed to stimulate it during the winter and early spring. The question cannot be too vigorously agtated."
 Frank E. Burns, who is recognized as one of the best business men of the north said:
 Transportation facilities are necessary to work up trade. There should be daily boat to Halnes if the trade is wanted. People won't pay 75 cents toll to order small quantity of goods and if larger or der were wanted the man will come up for It. Goods can't be sent on tele- phone line,"'

ALERT WILL BE PUT ON
Captain Campbell Will Run His Staunch Little Steamer Daily to the Mission If Skagway Guaran- tees His Operating Expenses.

Captain Malcolm Campbell, owner of the steamer Alert, will make propo- sition to the Chamber of Commerce to put that staunoh little craft on the route between Skagway and Haines to run daily, if the merchants of the city will guarantee the simple operating expenses. He says that the business people of Haines have promised their support and are very anxious for a direct steamer service with Skagway. They have been urging it for some time.
 ''The business men of Haines have all talked with me on the subject" :" said Captain Campbell land they are very anxious for the opportunity to do business with Skagway. am well &C., quainted with all the business men at that point and have purchased thous- ands of dollars worth of goods for them at Juneau.

in the windows. She had agreed to stay all night with Mrs. C. E. Hooker who lives just accross the strees on Eighth ave hue and thought she could run and get there before the man should he follow her.
 She went softly out the back door and ran across the street, but just as she att tempted to step up on the sidewalk the man loomed up before her and attempted to catch hold of her. She screamed loudly and Chas. Walker, who was coming up the street. was there instantly, also the oolored guard who was patrolng up Broad- way at the time,
 As soon as Walker appeared the man ran across the street and disappeared in the darkness. The guard followed him but the chase was ftuitess.
 Mrs. De Norton was carried into Mrs. Rockers residence in a fantng condition. She raddlv recovered but could not de- scribe the man.
 Mrs. DeNorton had no money or val uables with her at the time and while shopping did not display any amount of money.
