The Ketchikan miner., 1907-11-30

| Co. $ establishment, is now boarding out fine of $50 and costs in the fed eral jail at the rate of $2 per day. Dr. F. c. Hall, Ketchikan's popular physician and surgeon of long expert. ence, will leave early next month te spend the winter at his old home ir San Francisco. His many friends will be pleased to learn that he expects tc return early next spring or summer, and again take up his residence here.
 A pound party will be given tomor- row to Daddy" Nadeau, the pioneer trapper, fur trader and prospector, whose home is on Sunfower beach. The old gentleman has no relatives here, and lives alone but the gener- ous remembrance from the people of Ketchikan gives ample evidence that he is not without friends.
 Seriously Ill.-News was received here by cable last evening to the effect that Miss Jessie Mclaughlin, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. John Me Laughlin and sister of Mrs. A. A. Wakefield, all of this place, is serious ly ill with diphtheria at Seattle. Miss 1 Mclaughlin formerly resided here, and is we'll known to most of our peo- pie. Unless word is received of a much more favorable character, either Mir. McLauglin or Mir. Wakefield will go to Seattle by the first steamer- most probably the Humboldt.
 To Their Credit.-It isn't nearly so hard task to reach Sunflower beach now by Foot and Walkers line as it formerly heretofore used to be. The denizens of that outlying section of the town have completed at their own | expense substantial sidewalk. three feet in width, all the way from the boundary line to nearly, if not quite to Charcoal point. The walk extends on easy grade around the hill from point just beyond the residence of J. A. Hart in newtown, to the beach, along which it follows as far as at present completed, thus giving the Sunflower people easy access, other- wise than by boat to the business part of the town, and is an improvement which is credit to those who pro- ected and pushed it so far on the way to completion.
 Those who feel that Thanksgiving day would not be complete without the usual before or after shaking ot the light fantastic heel and toe, will be pleased to learn that they will be afforded an opportunity to exercise their bent in that direction at Red mems hall tomorrow evening, at which time social dance will be giv- en by those who know how and have the disposition to make such functions wholly pleasant and enjoyable.
 The Vigilant brought up large raft of logs from George inlet yesterday for the Ketchikan Power company's mill.
 Arthur Thebo, the man who fell off the wharf at Chomly, a few nights ago, is lying at his home in Ketchikan with fractured rib. He is under the care of Dr. H. c. Story, physician for Ketchikan Aerie No. 162 Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which order he is a member in good standing. His in- jury is not of more serious char acter | han to keep him confined to his home for brief period.
 Held To Grand Jury. Richard Booth, the educated native who claims 1 Metlakahtla as his home, arrested ast Saturday on charge of having raised check from S4.5O to $14000, to which charge he plead guilty, has been held to the grand jury in bonds If $1. GOO, failing to furnish which he will be taken to the jail at Juneau on
 he next ship sailing north.
 Among the many things for which
 he people of Ketchikan have reason 70 be exceedingly thankful is that, considering the force and fury of he winds last night, none of the buildings of the town were razed to he ground. It was night far from soothing to the nerves of timid per sons, eitelr old or young
 Oh, won't you come qome Bill Bailey, md bring Idaho home with you :. During the heavy blow from the southeast last night the scows Bill Bailey and Idaho, belonging to the Ketchikan Power company, broke loose from the moorings at the mill, up the channel and upon the rocks this side of Charcoal point. One ot them had part of the cargo of shingles brought up from George inlet last Saturday, but neither one was damaged both being got off ana brought back by the Vigiant this af- ternoon. The funny thing about it is that one of them which it had been expected . to send to Cholmondeley sound this morning to bring over some mules seemingly anticipated the purpose of her owners and ran away, | .:.l.t
