GREAT STATE DOES NOT GO
Chas. Martins Denial Brings
Forth ScOffing.
rs7,

Charlie Martin, who left the remnant Of
bis stock Of goods In this city to be fought
over bv his creditors, and VINO II Is gsner-
ally conceded left this country with Mrs.
Ransom, the wife Of the we'll known
physician, hvs denied the story Of his ac-
tlons as published by the Daily Alaskan.
The Dawson News, which arrived here
Tuesday evening, contains the denial by
Martin. The News says;
martin said that he left Skagway be-
cause business was dull and he had been
promised work on the KlondIke Mines Ry.
When at Whltehorse he met Mrs. Ransom.
who was working there, and iokingly told
her he would get her job here, thinking
no more about II, as he never Intended or
even thought Of living With anv other
woman than his wife; that u such had
heen the case he would nothave cared to
meet any of his Skagway friends here OF
to have sent for his wife to como In. At
the time he left Skagway he owed about
5000. He had $500 worth Of goods at
Sklgway, but a Mr.. Brownell Of that
place had told him that he would require
$500 transient traders license 10 sell
them. so he sent a power Of attorney to
his wife and directed her 10 sell or mort
gage the goods and como to Dawson.
Later, haylng secured work he decided to
ship the stock In and send for his wife.
He says that he has $500 outstanding at
skagway besides real estate worth $4,000,
which is unenrumbered, and that the
statements published BY the Alaskan are
false In every particular"
MRS. Martin and others who reside 10
Skagway do not eoroborate Mr.. Martins
statements, and the stock Of goods that
were left behind were not nearly sufficient
to meet the obligation against thom.
Those who are familiar with the goods left
say they were not worth one-hfth Of the
value placed upon them by Martin, and
everybody SCOTS at the claim Of $1,000
worth Of unlneumbered ieaIestate. II fact
It Is generally admitted that Martin could
not get cne-tenth that amount for his real
property.
Those who are In position to know
maintain that the story as II was pub
llshed In the Daily Alaskan Is true 10
every particular. and that Martins denial
Is made so strong that he gives himself
away.

Several times during the dav Behrends'
