cave in behalf of their brother Knights

played.

Of the beautiful spread. F. E. B.

 Monday one of the animals bear ing load near Hunter creek passed through lively experience. A lot of matches in the load took fire and the terrified beast bolted and went through some double-action gym nastics. With traditional "hoss sense" he simultaneously organized himself into an effective freight ing brigade and an international freight-handler's union, and almost before Mir. Sundberg could realize it the cargo was discharged with the conf1agration extinguished and only slight sulphurous odor indi- cated the strenuousness of the occa- sion. The horse, now grown into the Amalgamated Association of Equine Fire Fighters and Freight Handlers. struck-for tall timber and better conditions.

WOMAN STRANDED
 ON WAY TO DAWSON

A woman giving her name as Mrs. Moore came into Rampant on the Cudahy. She had paid her way from the Panama. Here she said her means were exhausted and the Cudahy people declined to car " her further. The woman ap- pealed to Deputy Marshal Dreibel- bis, who could do nothing, and she was not permitted to go aboard.
 The woman said the mate offered to take her if she would do his bidding. This caused some very harsh criticism of the company.
 The woman claimed to have rel atives at Dawson.
 A good many think appearances justified the Cudahy peoples state ment that the woman was "uude- sirable. and mention the fact that Dawson officials hold boats ac- eounsabie Ior landing indigents.
