they were in ordinary matters. Each
had a host OF friends and these were
arrayed in hostile camps, political, So

become r~econciied, heweyer. Some
time ago Mckenzie got into trouble
in Alaska, and narrowly escaped a
prison sentence for contempt OF a
local judge. from whose jurisdiction
the BismarckiRn removed a prisoner.
