IN TROUBLE
Capt. Ferguson Arrested
 in Victoria.

A Victoria. B. C.. dispatch of Nov. o7 last. states that Capt. w. H. Fere euson. of San Francisco, who represented Mohns X Co.,, of San Francisco, and was q receiver at Nome under Judge Moves, and more recently United States com missioner at Council City, was held by the Victoria police the evening before, together with his attorney C. $. Black ett of Nome, who alleged that Ferguson embedded $S,G00 of their funds, which was appropriated to his own use.
 Ferguson went to Nome in 1899 with 5000 to $l0,O00 worth of merchandise belonging to the San Francisco firm. where he was agent. He is alleged to have invested the profits in mining and other ventures at Nome. An arrange ment was made between Ferguson and the firm last summer whereby he was to remain in the camp this year, and settle up when he came to San Fran cisco next summer.
 Ferguson and Blackett, the attorney who accompanied him. came to Seattle from Nome on the steamer Nome City, ] and, it is alleged, secreted themselves in Seattle. They were discovered and then they disappeared and came to Victoria under assumed names. Then MOhns X Co. wired from San Francisco to George E. Powell, Victoria barrister, to have Ferguson arrested for embezze- ment and extradited, and Blackett held under surveillance. NJ. Harman, of Allen X StrattOn, of Seattle, arrived in the interests of the San Francisco firm, and finally Ferguson and Blackett agreed to return to Seattle with him, and an officer will meet the steamer with warrant charging Ferguson with embezzlement.
 Ferguson and Blackett both have trunks filled with deeds of Nome mines, powers of attorney and other mining holdings. A number of time tables of Oriental steamer sailings wereIfound in their room.

Big "Spec." In Mile Laos Land.

Who says that Mile Laos land, and
wild at that, is not good paying prop
erty. Last summer Joseph Underleak
OF Chatfeld, Mimi, bought 6,262 acres
OF land in township 41-27. For this
land he paid the sum of Sl5,655.2O, or
close around $3.50 per acre. Last
week Mr.. Underleak sold 1902 acres Of
this same land for 1926, 73s. IS, making a
clean profit on the transaction of nearly
$4,000, and still having over 1900
acres left to dispose Of Of course Mr..
Underleak did not buy such large
tract of land to keep. He secured it.
for an investment, and he found in less
time than year that it proved good
one. He sold the land to Geo. w. Pat
terson of Worthington, Mimi, who al
ready owns lot of land in the vicinity
OF the lake and is improving much of
this land, placing settlers on the same
and giving them a portion of the land
Tor clearing it up. Mr.. Patterson is
placing lot of sheep and cattle on his
land in>that section which he finds well
adapted for stock.

OIL Stove Explodes.

Last Saturday an oil stove used for
heating exploded at the home of Frank.
Peterson and came nearly resulting
very seriously. The stove had been
placed in a room upstairs to take the
chill off, the room. Mrs. Peterson and
daughter were down stairs. Before
leaving the room the wick had been
turned down quite low. Some time af-
forwards there was a smell of smoke
and Mrs. Peterson rushed upstairs and
opened the door of the room which she
discovered full of smoke, AS the door
was opened the flames about the lamp
started up and with great presence of
mind Mrs. Peterson grabbed the stove
and threw it down the stairway. The
stove blocked the stairway and was
still burning. Mrs. Peterson made a
second attempt to put the fire out by
getting feather bed which she threw
onto the stove which smothered the
flames. Mrs. Peterson was severely
burned about the hands and arms and
suffered much from inhaling the smoke
from the closed room. She has been
confined to her bed for the past few
days, but is recovering all right from
her I'M uries. The house was also badly
burned in several places and it was
narrow escape, both for Mrs. Peterson
and the house.

The New Years Ball.

The one social event of Princeton
that has come to be looked upon by So.
ciety as the event of the winner season
is the annual New Years ball given by
the Knights of Pythias. The event
coming as it does at the passing of the
old and the dawn of the new year
makes it of more than usual interest
and 1t is the ne plus ultra of all social
doings for the season. So it was that
the K. P. ball last evening reflected
the holiday spirit. Jesmer's opera
house with its crowd of gay dancers,
the pretty ball room gowns and the
abundance of flowers presented very
handsome scene. There was a good
attendance and the floor was crowded
during the entire evening. Galichio's
orchestra was at its best md the holt
day mlrth and merr1ment was in full
blossom. 1t was early morning when
the merry dancers left the bar room
and the strains Of f1nusica died away. III Is.
the early hours of the new year.
Supper was served at Maccabee hall.
There were many from out of town in
attendance, parties from Cambridge,
Elk River, Milaca and other points be-
ing present. The Cambridge party
consisted of Miss Minerva Barker, Miss
Mabel Starkweather, Miss Myers and
DIR. Hixon, AL Dowden, Fred Holm and
Walter Magnus. Mr.. and Mrs. H. E.
Barnum, Miss Barnum, Miss Farnham
and brother of Mr.. Barnum were pre-
sent from Milaca, while Wade Ruther-
ford OF Mora, Harry English of Zim-
norman, Dan Cooper and wife of Isanti
and Joe Libby of Elk River were
among the out of town folks who were
present.
