Taking exception to comment which in the Transcript last week over his arrest in connection with the setting up a house of ill-repute near the Record office, Captain JOhu Johns ton, chief owner of the Daily Record, on Saturday afternoon attempted to chastise one Of tEe editors of the Trans. cript. Johnston met Ullrich near the postoflice and applying vile epIthet to him, made an effort to strike him.

Later the captain was arrested and had tFe pleasure Of contributing slO and costs to the city officers, as we'll as listening to lecture from the police magistrate. No blood was shed and no harm was done except to the finances of the az gressor.-Juneau Transcript.

understands that he is on the job

obeying them, whether it is matter
of cleaning spittoons or writing al

elines TO the belief that all others
are in the same position wherein
he errs. BY all who know him, Mr.
Wise is appreciated as a gentleman
of honor, high character and of abil-
ity to command job wherever he
might go. The inference of the or
gan that he is mere tool, Is both
an absurdity and an outrage But
