There is, probably, no country on earth whose inhabitants possess person al histories of such absorbing interest as Alaka. The Sourdough presents this week thrilling story of sourdough, and it hopes that it will be the first of long series of live stories of the men of Southeastern Alaska. This is the story of Anton Marks, as told by him. self, at the request of this paper:

At Girard avenue the auto shot over

an express wagon, righted itself and
went on. At that time the driver had
abandoned the wheel and was chang

onto the sidewalk, lurched back,

the auto hit the head of horse whose
owner had jerked him back onto his

cars, bumped a mail wagon squarely
in the middle and tossed 1t onto the
sidewalk, missed another car by
hairs breadth and tore on, the only
damage being that the drivers hand
was cut to pieces by flying glass. From
there it was pretty clear sailing ex
