The Ketchikan miner., 1908-08-22

found their way to the creek in short order and in two minutes dozen men
 were crawling around on the rocks after fish, regardless of russet shoes,
 lice cream trousers' etc. The rocks
 were slippery, the fish were elusive, and one enthusiast slid head first into the creek in his anxiety to land his fish, to the great amusement of the spectators.

 Alex Brindle came in from his log ging camp on Skowl Arm yesterday,
 bringing D. K. Mcdonald who had the misfortune to have his hand caught in the 'kick back" of log ging jack, breaking one or more bones, which had already knit when he arrived here. An examination showed that the bones were not prop erly joi ned and it was necessary to make new break to have them set properly.
 Dr.. Charles M. Stemen of Kansas City, an old friend and preceptor of pr. ]. L. Myers, who with his wife arrived on the Jefferson. left yester- day for hunting trip on Beh n canal. He was accompanied by Jim- mic Cummings, and the prospects for the poor old bears on the mainland are pretty bad.

 John Raber returned last night from the Eagles convention in Seattle which he describes as the greatest thing that ever happened. There were Eagles present from the Philip pines to Maine, two miles of them in line-and so many of them in town that pin feathers began to spropt on the telephone poles.
 There are numbsrsbf youngsters in town, and some who are not SO young, perhaps, who are preparing for visit to the lookup the first time the officers catch them in the act of mal- treating and torturing the fish trying to get up the creek. Possibly some of the young boys may not know bet- ter, but there are others old enough to be taught hard lesson to the effect that the dabolieal fun ot spearing fish and throwing them around on the rocks just to see them bleed and d @ merits not only censure but very se- were punishment-and The Miner wouldn't mind applying the shingle till the lesson was learned. The "kid' who will bravely torture helpless thing can be depended upon every time to run home crying to his nam ma when another boy h'lf his size squares up to him for it scrap. Malcolm Quaig, miner, who re- gently left here to go to s ork at the Mamie mine, was killed by a blast at three o'clock this morning at thak place. Further particulars have not yet been received, hut it is understood that the unfortunate man was caught by a premature discharge. McQuaig is well known here, and spent some time this summer prospecting wish Joe Wallace. He had been em- ployed at various times at Sulzer- His relatives live at Glen Sandifseld, Ontario, and have been notified by Julius Hansen, secretary of the hoeal branch of the Western Federation of Miners, of the accident McQuaig had formerly belonged to that organi- zation and recently applied to the To- cal branch for re-admission. At the request of Superintendent George Gern, Judge Stackpole left this ne0w on the Taku to hold the inquest.
