Robbery Story Believed to
 be a Fake.

Those who have investigated the story, published in the Daily Alaskan yesterday, that Mrs. Emerson had lost a purse-or had been robbed of it which contained S626, are skeptical about it's truthfulness. It is believed by many to be 8 fake invented to enlist the sympathy of people with money.
 Mrs. Emerson and her daughter were engaged at Seattle, through au en- ployment agency, by Miss Burke, to work in the Fifth Avenue h1tel, the former as cook and lhe latter to work in the dining room. They represented that they had no money and Miss Burke advanced half their fares to Skagway and they were to work it Out when they arrived in this city.
 Before reaching SkagWay, Miss Burke heard that her cook and dining roomlgirl were planning to go into the interior, aud she learned soon after arrival here that they did not intend to work for her. It was not until Miss Burke insisted upon the return of the 80 which she advanced on their fares, that she learned anything about the 1 loss of the purse and its contents. Those who have weighed these cir cumsances think 1t very strange that the woman should have represented herself as unable to pay her fare and have agreed to work it out upon heI arrival here if she had so much money when sh9 left Seattle.

SHOES
TO BUY coke"

Bill Drummond, Fred Kupfner
and Clarence Edwards, the latter
colored, were arrested last night,
and taken as a whole, the
bunch is about the worst that could
tbe found in the county.
Bill and Fred were sailing
around the city Wednesday morn
ing broke and sadly in need of
cocaine. They had no funds what
ever and no prospect of securing
any. The pair entered D. David
sons store and swiped a pair of
cheap shoes and made their get
away before the shoes were. missed.
One of the clerks notified Officer
Nelson and he, accompanied by Of
ficer McLoud, made the arrests.
The fellows had soaked the shoes
for a dollar at a pawn shop on
Fourth street. Here is where
Clarence Edwards gets in. Bill is
in bad with the druggists and can't
buy coke and Fred can't get it every
where, so they found Clarence and
he procured the drug. They also

officers picked them up one at a

Thursday morning.
They told many conflicting tales
but the mayor figured it out that
Bill and Fred had swiped the shoes.
Accordingly they were fined $500
and they have to work it out. Then
he turned to Clarence and said he
didn't believe he had anything to
do with the shoes so he would only
give him five days. Clarence got
slightly impudent, as usual, and

CONCERNING
EARMQnT

In reply to the purposely mis-
representing statement from the
infringement of the Fairmont ball
team, printed in The Fairmont
Times Of Aug. 21st, we wish to give
a full, fair statement of the actual
facts of our effort to get a game
with tire Fairmont team.
Mr.. WEIGH called Mr.. Hawkins,
manager of Fairmont, to TIE phone
and asked him for a game Aug. 20.
Mr.. Hawkins said they had no game
for that day and asked for terms.
He was offered more money than Il
visiting team ever got at Fairmont
on his 40 per cent. proposition this
year. The Clarksburg team has no
large donations from outside
sources, have had to build their own
stands, fences, etc, and paddle their
own canoe without help from the
street car company and at that have
a better ball team than the salaried
stars (?) Mr.. Hawkins has gather
ed at Traction park.
Our reason for refusing 4 return
game at Fairmont was that we have
dates to play other teams fully as
good, if not better, thanFairmont.
These dates extend until Sept. 80,
and with return games promised to
Warrington and Benwood will take
every Sunday until the weather is
too cold for ball playing.
So far as championships are CON
cerned, Fairmont has no claim to
any championship except in one
class; they are the 'FChampion
Cutters of the World bar none,
and this title we have no desire to
wrest from them.
F. j. WEIGH.
