Against Outlaws.
Seattle, July 49, Miners operating
on the creeks near Fairbanks, Alaska,
have appealed to the United States
government for protection from out
laws who are terrorizlng that district.
General Constance Williams, in com
mand OF the Department of the Column
bia, has been instructed by the War
department to investigate, and II condi-
tions are as bad as the miners claim,
troops will be rushed into the Tanana
country. The telegraph lines into
Fairbanks are down and General Will
liams' investigation is likely to be de-
layed for several days. In the mean
time a large Alaska community is ter
rorized, for the situation is even worse
than that which existed at Skagway
during the 'Soapy Smith" days.
Telegraphic advices from the North
declare that hold-ups and the boldest OF
robberies are becoming 30 frequent that
an attack on some OF the banks ia
feared by the miners. The mine owners
are afraid to either bring their dust
into town or keep 1T at their camps.
The outlaws are holding up strong pack
trains and robberies at camps are sc
numerous that they have become ex-
pected.
| The miners in the Tanana country
have but few weeks in which TO make
their annual cleanup and the depreda-
tions of the outlaws threaten the year &
business. The district about Fairbanks
has had remarkable winter and the
cleanup would be the heaviest in the
camps history il the miners are able
to work. Fear Of losing everything by
robbery 10 holding back the spring
cleanup.

sewerage and continued:
"Practically. typhoid fever comes
from polluted water. A small percent
age of course comes from milk, flies

duCtion above resulted in drop to IL
