The Alaska prospector., 1908-01-02


 The custodian Of the Alaska ITcmc railway camp at the canyCn, at which place all the supplies from the vari- Ous camps Were stored when work ceased, received u shock on the morning Of the 255h which he will nc t soon forget.
 It appears that OH the day stated, the custodian was invited to parGulzc of ChrisUrnaS dinner with lis friend Vaughn, the roatihCusc man. He had locked the storarOOm and taken 1 few steps on his way, when he happened to look around and saw what he thought was piece of cord dangling from the rear of the house, near the roof. He had not noticed this ccrd-aPpearing appendage there be- fore, and upon investigation was sur prised to find piece Ot fuse, part of which passed through crack into the house. At this end WAS a large dy- namite cap. The fuse hung along down the wall, to within a foot of the head of the custodian's bed.
 The custodian made a further ex- animation of the premises, and found on shelf heavy iron pipe, beside which was 8 cup half full of black pepper-the pepper to be thrown inso the face of the victim, who would thus become at the mercy of his aSsailant, armed with the iron pipe.
 Robbery was undoubtedly the mo- tive of the miscreant who made these fiendish preparations to assail the custodian.
 Suspicion was at oncS directed toward young fellow, about IS years of age, who had stopped with the cus- bodian for several days until the day prior to discovery of tho fuse. The latter now recalls several suspic-

Brown was very substantially
built facing the Rio Grand river.
The buildings are large and we'll
arranged in case of an attack
from the enemy. Many of these
buildings are in a good state of
preservation now and it does
look like a shame that the many
buildings should stand here as
they do uuoccupied and eventu-
ally go to ruin and decay, The
land adjoining the buildings is
used now by the u. s. Govern
ment for an experimental farm,
and at this time, March q, 1908,
they were plowing and preparing
the land for another crop, having
taken off the crop of vegetables
that had been grown the past
few months.
We visited the Fort Brown
cemetery where now lie peace
fully sleeping 2849 of the Nations
dead, to await the trumpet call
from the Arch Angel of Glory on
the great Resurrection day. In
this silent city of the beloved
dead there are 1880 whose names
are known and are on record and
1879 of the unknown. AS we
looked on the many white stones
that stand so close together all
numbered in their order-the
known their company and state,
also the unknown soldiers, there
came in our thoughts feeling
of sadness and as we stood in
solemn meditation, these
thoughts came to our mind:
Each one of these little white
stones with names and symbols
engraved thereon is a monument
to the life and last resting place
of some precious loved one, whose
memory should be kept sacred,
and their resting place guarded
and cared for, as long as the
stars and stripes wave to the
breeze of God fearing and
liberty loving people. There is
no class of men l meet along
lifes highway that love, respect
and honor more than | do the old
soldiers. When l watch their
faltering footsteps and see their
aged and stopped forms with
heads silvered DER as an evidence
of the hardsbips and struggles
of the many years of honest toll
and faithful service, my very soul

MILwEE FOR CHAIRMAN.

Little Rock, April 21-The re- port that Joe Frauenthal of Con- way, will be the next chairman of the state democratic central committee to succeed John F.
 Rutherford of Pine Bluff, appears to have been built of whole cloth. It is reported upon what seems to be excellent authority, that Mr. Frauenthal does not aspire to the position, and that he will support Judge Frank Milwee ol Clarendon, for the place. Just how the report gained circula- tion can not be determined, but it is believed that because Mir. Frauenthal resides at Conway, Mr. Donaghey's home, he has been connected with the state central committee. It is under stood that Mir. Donaghey favors putting Judge Milwee at the head of the central committee
