RoBT. BALL NOT HIS TRUE NAME
Man Held For Murder at Juneau Is
Charles r. Names.

SEATTLE, Feb. 16.-Robert Ball,
under arrest at Juneau for numbering
William Deppe on Fox Island on jan
uary 2, proves to be Charles r. Names,
of Battle Greek, Mich. There he was
tried for attempted murder and in
dicted for perjury.
He was disbarred because of threat
ening the life of the circuit judge.
He was arrested and convicted in San
Francisco for using United States
mails to defraud. He has kept his
past a secret up to this time.
1t has been known for months that
the name of the man who shot William
Deppe on Fox island, as the culmna-
ton of a series of legal troubles and
personal encounters, was not Robert
Ball, and that mis- past was of such a
nature that he wished to keep it hid
den. Never once to anyone under any
circumstances did he drop hint of
where he had lived or what he had
done in the past. His wife, after the
murder, said he was a graduate of the
legal department of the University of
Michigan. This statement has led to
the unraveling of the mystery that
has surrounded Ball since his resi-
dence in Seattle.
BATTLE CREEK. Mich, Feb. 16.-
Charles r. Names, who is thought
to be the man under arrest at Juneau
for murder, left here about five years
ago after a most sensational career.
Accused by Stephen F. Hurlburt,
a brother attorney, of defrauding MIN
of $500, Names was arrested on
charge of perjury and forgery. 1t was
later charged that Names concocted
a plot to abduct Hubert and murder
him if he would not sign papers, ex-
onerating Names from the charges
against him. The police dressed one
of their number to represent Hubert
at the time and place of the projected
abduction, and thus disguised he en-
tered a carriage driven by Names and
he was rescued by a squad of police
who were watching the affair.
Names defense of the charge of abb
duction was that it was a plot of the
police of which he himself was the
victim.
Names was tried on the charge of
abduction and attempted murder and
acquitted. Som after he left for the
west.
Names was a broad shOuldered
man weighing 200 pounds. He had
brown hair and blue eyes, with teeth
slightly protruding. He was five feet
six inches tall and usually smooth
shaver.

The railroad people are here

me ralifOau peOpie are nere- two parties of them. Mir. Rosene on the one side to look over the proposition and to judge, after an inspection, what his actions will be. At present he can give no definite information on the matter. While it is true Mir. Rosene has shipped number of piles on the Edith, he is not certain where they will be used. To him, as to everyone else except interested parties, it looks like an absurdity to start a road six miles below Valdez in order to get any where. The only reason for such action would be to give somebody the opportunity to sell town lots. If a railroad company is willing to reduce itself to a townsite proposi- tion then the proposition is feasi- ble, but if it is to be railroad busi- ness It might be we'll for the pro- motors to build from the most ad- vantageous point, which is Valdez. If the country progresses, as it cer- tainly will, this bay and sound will show more than one town, and then will be time to turn back wards and build to them, but at the present time, seeing that it would take anywhere from twenty to thirty thousand dollars a mile to build a railroad over these flats, it would seem logical for the bona fide railroad builder to reach ton mage over the leas number of miles and come in on the trimmings later. We believe Mir. Rosene, if he determines to build railroad, will see into the advantages of Val dez and build accordingly.
 The other party in the field is Col. A. w. Swanitz, who arrived here on the same boat with Mir. Rosene. He comes with no prom issory goods but with the actual tools to begin work and with assis- tant engineers to direct it. His tools, though not extensive, are in evidence, and, he states himself, he is here to begin work. The com pany back O; him has absorbed the rights of several companies who have surveyed the field. His actions will not be guided by anyone here. He has received his orders and he proposes to go ahead. No surveys will be attempted as they have already been completed. but the engineers in the field will, in a day or so, pick up the line and then the work of grading will De begun and the work will be carried to compile tion. It may. to us, look like a small beginning, but it is the colo nel's usual way, and we know the result in at least one instance
 To us in Valdez who have been patient walters, it matters not who builds the road, but road We cer- tainly need, and We should unite in extending the right hand of fellowship to the one who gives it to us and allow no petty jealousies to stand in the way.
