FROM WASHINGTON,

One of the most dramatic scenes
enacted within the memory of the
police here took place today at the IN
quest to determine responsibility Tor
the death OF tWelve-year old Harry
Smith, when Myrtle, the dead boys
frail sister, Is years OF age, fought
fiercely to choke Tony Milano, in
whose squalid shop the bruised and
half burned body of the boy was found.
witnesses had testified to the finding
of the blackened body, that the fire
which partially destroyed Tony's shop
was of incendiary origin, and had
identified the pathetic little bits OF
clothing found there. Agonized by
the strain, Miss Smith suddenly leaped
from her chair. and before spectators
and police could prevent her, had
clutched the throat of the impassTe
Italian, held on suspicion OF the crime.
She was led away, hysterical. Mllano
was held for action by the grand Jury

GOOD SHOWING AT handbook

Although they have crosscut the

All indications point to the strik-
ing of another rich ore shoot SIM
liar to the nine foot one found when
the hanging wall was reached last

shoot found next to the hanging
wall, the men encountered eight feet
of quartzite.
After that seven or eight feet of
slate was encountered. At present
the tunnel is being run through a

The rich vein was tapped at a

hundred thousand school children

Did you ever try to entertain one?
Many men and women have been
affected by the loss of memory but
one of the greatest cases of it's kind
happened to high official of trust
that the government is at present in
vestigating. Edward Atkins, acting
head of the sugar trust displayed
a remarkable loss of memory when
the committee undertook to cross ex-
anime him. 1t was really remarkable
in person of his position for he was
unable to recall anything at all about
the business transactions of the trust
and he failed to give any evidence
of value.
Queer how some men who are
holding high positions seem to have
a lack of brains and memory, OF
rather a quantity of brains to dc

Nine sailors of the steam whaler

June, and were each given 80 days
in Jail on the charge of vagrancy

in his report to the marshals Of

VALDEZ VISITED BY FLOOD

The waters breaking loose with
tremendous force, two large floods
occurred at the Shoup glacier the
past week, one of them carrying
out fully 300 feet of the ice and
exposing quartz ledge. which was
Immediately staked by two men from
the Sealy-Davis property.
The first flood occurred several
days ago, when the penned up water
in the lake, on the south side of the
glacier, broke through, carrying the
ice before it and exposing bedrock
which heretofore has been hidden
from the eye of man.
The glacier has recently moved
forward from 80 to so feet, damming
up the outlet to the stream, which
enters the bay to the north of the
glacier. The stream began to rise,
backing up and flooding the mining
properties in the vicinity. 1t reach
ed depth of fully so feet against
the hill and then broke the ice with
a deafening roar.
A number of small boats We're
tossed like egg shells on the mighty
waves and carried far out into the
bay. Gus Bellois' launch was also
wrenched from it's moorings and
taken out into the narrows.

With an appropriation Of twelve
thousand dollars at his command
since the first of the month, for the
suppression of the liquor traffic
among the natives, the governor of
the territory has sent out number
of gum shoe artists after the whisky
peddiers in the hope of breaking up
the practice. This force has been
scattered throughout the territory
wherever Indians congregate and
every means at the hand of the gov
eminent will be exercised to sup
press the debauching of the natives.
The federal government is somewhat
late in its efforts to reform con-
ditions, as the Indian is all but in
his coffin now; however, Lo can
