The Ketchikan miner., 1907-04-20
PENCIL AND SCISSORS

There were in all 40 per cent. more votes cast at Skagway than at Ketchi- kan or Douglas. A laskan. Not fair criterion to judge from. Ketch- ikan's gravel train hadn't arrived at the time the polls closed. In other words, half of Ketchikan's voting population were out at the mines and in the woods prospecting, and didn't care enough about the probable re. suit to come in and vote.
 If the new Ketchikan gas compa, y would only collect and use vast amount of the ''gas ' wasted in booming up the wonderful possibili- ties of that locality, the small cost of stock in trade would cause the price of shares to remain considerably above par. .-Wrangell Sentinel. Worms? young man, or only petty jealousy.
 At Nome, not long ago, two Mala- mute dogs made vicious and, ravenous by hunger, as may be supposed, attacked couple of little boys, one four and the other six years of age, md before the brutes could be driven off the children were badly bitten md torn. Had not assistance been near at hand, the dogs would prob- .bly have succeeded in making dainty neal of the children.
 The Skagway Alaskan tells this story of Harry Raymond, the we'll known and popular travelling sales nan of Juneau, in connection with he Treadwell strike. Harry had been made special deputy marshal by Marshal Shoup at the beginning 'f the strike, for the purpose of assisting in the protection of property. 1e was an interested spectator as he troops came ashore and took a commanding position. He was partic- ularly pleased with the Gattling gun, md made close inspection of it. 1e had just replaced its rubber coat, md was standing near when the
 uriosity of the Slavonians led a punch of them in his direction. A
 pokesman asked Harry what kind of | machine it was. He replied that it was new kind of picture making machine, and promptly grouped lozen or more men in front of it. After spending several n inutes wav- ing them to this side and that, forc- ing them hack and beckoning them nearer-all of the signs being prompt ly obeyed by the men who had purs- d their faces into ''pleasantest" 'miles-the drummer-deputy, appar- ,ntly satisfied with the focus, quickly emoved the coat from the wicked ooking little gun. In 10 seconds here was not a Slovenian in sight. They flew in different directions.
 A mix-up an rough and tumble fight, in which biting and gouging seems to have played prominent part, enlivened Juneau's business streets, last Monday, the actors in which were J. w. Frame, editor of he Transcript, and Jack Lezinsky president of the Douglas Island Miners union. The respective stories old by the Dispatch and Record Miner are as follows:
 President Jack Lezinsky of the Douglas branch of the Western Fede- ration of Miners resented certain articles reflecting upon his religion md engaged John w. Frame, a local newspaper man, in a street fight to- Jay. Leizinsky allege that the fight resulted from an attempt on the part If Frame to address him on the street. Being asked why he would not speak. Lezinsky replied that he considered him (Frame) cur. A fight followed, in which Frame nearly bit off one of Lezinsky's fingers. The matter will now be aired in the court on may hem charge. We understand that Frame alleges that Le7insky had a knife. This is denied by friends of Lezinsky. Montgomery Ward x Co. will no doubt bail Frame out.-Dis- patch.
 Jack Lezinsky came over from the 'sland yesterday and made up his mind to lick the editor of the Trans cript on account of an article which appeared in that paper on Saturday last. By the time the two men got through 1, was difficult to tell which one had really licked and both were more or less bunged mp and the loss of blood seemed to be about equally divided. As near as we can learn the two men met on Main street in front of the old Record Miner office and Lezinsky greeted Frame with "1 got something to settle with you," or words to that effect, and Frame repll. Id that 1t was fine day to settle it. By that time they were close together and Frame say, that Lezinsky put his hand in Is pocket when he spoke, and fearing he would pull out a weapon of some sort he grabbed the arm and as he did so Lezinsky hit him a terrlhc blow with the other hand al most knocking him out. At that they mixed fast and furious until Lezinsky's appeal for help brought relief. Lezinsky ayers that as they passed he refused to speak to Frame and this caused the 6sht.-kecord Miner.
