 The New England Fish company's s steam trawler Kingfsher, came in yesterday afternoon, and the number of men on board created the impress sion that she came on other business, in part at least, than that of fishing. This impression was further strength ening by the fact that it had been announced that this had been set as the day for the commencement of the work of clearing up the grounds for the new station to be established here, but it appears otherwise, and that she
 is in search of bait for halibut cruise
 in Dixon's Entrance, and will be fol- lowed shortly by the Manhattan and New England.

 John Doe, prisoner in the city jail, broke the cell doors down and made his escape an evening or so ago, talk ing the door with him. All day yes terday posse of men were in hot pur- suit searching for the bold, bad man. At f 80 o'clock parties coming down Gold Creek found a piece of the jail door just above the bridge. Later il. the evening it is said the culprit call ed up central and asked to he con- nected with the wood shed as it was raining where he was. The fugitive, now thought to be foraging in the woods on the other side of Mt. Jun eau, is a tall, broad-shouldered fellow with full face and protruding lips. His hair is curly and he usually parts it in the middle. His voice is deep barrel bass, with a slight drawl. A reward of thirty cents has been olfer- ed by the dshwashers' union for his Juneau Record. Mr. John Doe couldn't do that sort of thing to the Ketchikan jail: but then our jail is so strong that offenders give it a wide berth, and none who get in ever get out except on the strength of legal discharge, duly signed, sealed and executed
