Soldiers At Canyon

Much to the surprise of the people of Valdez, Capt. Helmick and a detach. ment of 20 men from Fort Liscum were landed in the western part of the city yesterday morning, and immediately started for the Canyon. Such action came as complete surprise, for 1t is a we'll known fact, that since last We'd nesday the forces of both railroad camps have been working in complete harmony at the Canyon. Before the soldiers began their march groups of citizens were on the streets earnestly discussing the matter, and public in- dlgnation was thoroughly aroused. Many were for calling a mass meeting to wire a protest to President Roose- welt.
 The PResPEcToR immediately inter- viewed the local Federal officials. as we'll as Major Van Welt, and the for mer disclaimed any knowledge of the reason for the landing of troops, or as to whom had made the request. The Major stated that owing to the fact that government property was located near the former scene of trouble, that he had sent his men to carefully guard the government interests, as we'll as to prevent further trouble occurring.
 Later the action was interpreted as being one of friendship to the side of law and order, and positive assurance that III the future no trouble could occur, and the rights of the Home Rail- way he protected

Gov. V. T. Hoggatt, of Juneau, arrived on the Burnside this morning, coming to make personal investiga. ton of the Keystone Canyon tragedy :. He landed about 9 o'clock, and after a call at the cable office, called on the representatives of the Guggenheims, and later visited the Home Railway office. The Governor stated to the PRosPneFoR, that he was as yet una. ware as to the length of lis stay, but desifSd to get full knowledge of the whole situation. In relation to the visit of the soldiers to the canyon; he stated that the military was placed at his disposal by President Roosevelt, but that that they were not called out by him, but through direct orders from Washington. after he had left Juneau. He had not decided this morning whether he would visit the Canyon or not. He had not been re- quested to come to Valdez, but did SO in order that he might make personal investigation of all the circumstances connected with the shooting

Dies from his Wounds

A sad result of the shooting at Key Stone Canyon last Wednesday was the death at 3. 40 o'clock this morning of Fred. Reinhardt, whose sufferings were terminated by call to the great un- known. Reinhardt it will be remem- bered was shot in the leg, and Satur- urday the mem bef was amputated, and the poor fellow was unable to with stand the successive shocks which he has been called upon to endure. He had been practically unconscious since yesterday noon, and last evening it was known that his death was only mat ter of hours. While it was expected yet his death came as great shock to the community and the sympathy of all we''' cut in his behalf. t@
