Avenger of Her Sister
II never saw Ruser before in my
life," said Mrs. Carbonneau. "As the
tool of Noble he has been making
charges against by sister. I should
not mind if those charges were against
myself, but when they are leveled
against my sisters, l will not stand
for it. Here is telegram sent to
me from the people of Fairbanks
since the filing Of the suit. It shows
how the people are with us and that
they know we are the victims OF
Noble and his tool, Ruser.
There is no longer a Dome City
bank. It has not been opened for
more than year. Ruser was never
cashier. and has been working in 4

Friends Wanted TO Whip Ruser
Twenty Alaskan friends wanted to
lick Ruser when they heard Of this
last suit, but told them to keep Off
that could do It myself. Ruser knew
this and ran away to Tacoma. The
only way could get him was to pre-
tend that I wanted to buy land ana to
entice him to the Archibald hotel. L
even visited his ONCE. but could not
find him. Ny Alaskan friends finally
decided to draw straws to see who
would inflict the punishment. I won.
II went and bought a whip. It was
heavier at the butt than 1 intended 1t
to be. Then hired three roms at the
Archibald so that no one might have
q nearby room and hear Ruser squeal.
Il put my cloak, glasses and other
things in one room and waited for

On my word Of honor, there was no
other human being present. The two
men who are said to have helped me
exist only in Ruser's Imagination In
fluenced by the despicable acts Of
Ruser toward me and my young sister,
I had expected to see a crawling,
creeping, contemplate individual. AS
he came into the room said:
Questions Her Victim
"'Are you Ruser?' and he said
Yes
Have you been in Fairbanks?'
ITO this he also answered in the
Affirmative. When asked him If he
had been connected with certain per-
sons or with the Dome bank, he lied
and said he had not even known
them.
"'You say you could be in Fairbanks
and not know these people?' I said.
and I struck him in the jaw with the
butt Of the whip. He fell over the
bed, squeaking, and turned the whip
and laid on. invited him to take
off his coat, but ne only continued to|
squeal. never heard q man shrek
like that before. Il was the sQueal

inhuman.
"'shut up. you fool!' I said. and II
stuck tho corner Of q pillow in his1
mouth. which was open to It's full ex-
tent. But he continued to sQueal, and
I struck him in the face with my fist
Once more before I left the room II
turned the butt-end Of the whip and
struck him with It in the jaw again.
Then I had to callect my cloak
and other things and get away for al
doctor, because the last blow had
knocked him out. AS I was going
