Former Ell Pasoan Says Wild

Frank Bell is going to make self
defence plea at Los Angeles, appar-
emily. He says he saw his victim COM
ing towards him with his hand in his
pocket and then he began to shoot. Fol-
lowing is his statement:
"They tell me that I murdered at
torney Widaman, and this morning
do remember of shooting at him. Last
night 1 seemed to have no recollection
of the shooting at all don't remember
how many times 1 shot. 1 think it was
only once, but 1 might be mistaken

walking directly toward me and had his
hand in his pocket. 1 tried to avoid him
and he followed. Then 1 shot and my
mind is blank.
During the last two years, beginning
in April of 1908, 1 have lost my for
tune; my wife has been turned against
me; my child has been taught to forget

Some of Bells Troubles.
Bell in a signed statement to the Los
Angeles Times, tells of being bounded
from place to place after he had lost his
money in the litigation with his wife
and her relatives, and of how every
time he got a job he was made TO lose
it. He says in part:
"I took my yacht to Ensenada and got

Alaska's Manufactures.
Manufacturing is confined TO the city
of Fairbanks. 1t consists largely Of
making tin stoves, window sashes and
doors.
The total product of the mines was
easily obtained by Mr. Mckenzie from
the banks. but it was difficult to ~et in
dividual returns because of the lack of
method on the part of the mine owners

tween. Necessarily they are confined
to the towns and indian settlements.
Most of the indian schools as we'll as
the church services are conducted by
the missionaries.
Mr. Mckenzie also reports that there
is very little sickness among the white
inhabitants OF Alaska. There is no fever,
but some pneumonia. Most of the in
dams are afflicted with tuberculosis and
other diseases of civilization are preva-
lent.

All the growth is attained between
May 20 and September Is. He attributes
the TACT that crops ripen not only to the
fact that the sun shines from Is to "a

fact that the plants are supplied with
moisture from beneath, where the melt

supply.
No Rain Falls.
Rain is practically unknown, he
says, ''but the necessary moisture comes
from below" The thaw never extends
deeper than three feet and often moi
farther than 15 inches, but the thaw Is
regular and the water supply sufficient

GIBELIN SCORES A POINT.
f~lHE next day all Paris buzzed
and wondered about this An
sonia AFFAIR. as It was called.
| ~ shortly before by the white
clock over the cOlumned entrance Ia
the Palais de Justice NJ. Paul passed
through the great iron and gilt bar
rier that fronts the street and, turn
Ing 20 the left, mounted the wide stone
stairway. Two flights up the detec-

leading TO the Offices Of seven judges.
Seven. Strange this resemblance 20
the fatal corridor at the Ansoniai And
stranger still that Judge HautevilIe's
Office should be No. 6!
Judge Hauteville presently arrived.
'You look serious this morning" he
said, remarking CoqueniFs pale face.
Yes" nodded Nj. Paul, that's how
FEEL and. settling himself in a chair,
he proceeded TO relate the events Of
the night.
The judge listened with grave at
tentiOn. You believe 1t was the as

was 10 get the woman's address?D

Hauteville shook his head. "He

hadn't copied the name and given It

"Ah, II only hadT sighed the de-
tective.

remember the name? Can't YOU re-
member il at alY"
That's what I've been trying 10 do"
replied the other gloomily. I've tried
and tried, but the name won't come
back"
An hour before, as arranged the pre-
vious night, Papa Tignoi had started
out to search for Kittredge's lodgings,
since the American, when questioned
by Gibelin at the prison, had obsti-
nately refused TO tell where he lSved,
and an examination OF his quarters
was a matter OF immediate impor-
lance IL was not Papa Tignol, how
