 IN DEEPER WATER

the explorer the pick of their teams. but they did the picking themselves.
 The poundmaster tried to sell the captain dog which became famous in local litigation. but the deal fell through.
 Those who watched the team start say they could see the malamutes were already examining the harness with view to finding the most easily chewed portions and the minds of many of the two travellers friends were filled with sad forebodings, which were borne out last evening when Pete Bernard walk ed down town and met some of the famous animals trotting back home.
 Others have seen other parts of the outfit, but it is possible that things are not So bad.
 Anyhow, it is certain that some dogs are struggling back, and the end of the captains Arctic experiences are not yet.

That Captain Ejnar Mikkesen, the explorer, may now be in deeper water than that which he found north of AL aslla is a possibility which has become apparent by the fact that his dogs have begun to desert him and are now show ing up in Nome one by one,

ENGAGE
 IN DEADLY QUARREL

NEW YOEK-D During the course of a desperate fight tonight over the question of the storage of an automo- bile. Derman Ormsby shot and killed Fred Wchmans The dispute and ar gument were heard by several in the garage, but little attention was paid to it on account of the affair seeming so trivial
 Ormsby was badly beaten about the head and body. and the wounds he shows appear to bear out the state- ment made to the police that he had killed Wehmans only in elf-defense. when he considered his own life in serious danger There were no wit nesses to the affair, though several were in the same building, and if the coroner's jury finds the act was done in self defense there will be no prose cution of Ormsby. The latter is now in the hospital suffering from the wounds he received.

And only Ike Walton shall praise us,

And his bait jug shall never be empty
