 Al Cinema. when the jam broke al : o'clock Monday morning. the river reached ifs crest and there was then from three to six feet of water in the cabins. The White Horse saloon was the highest building in town, and here il was that most of the ChenaiteS took refuge. The floor of the saloon had about two feet of water on il. All the cellars were course flooded and considerable dam age was done to merchandise. In the A VI. company store one of the COun ters was upset and about $2on worth of stuff spoiled and the loss in the F. w.

MURDER COMMITTED
 IN THE KUSKOKWIM

T. years old al the cabin where he and three other FrcnChmen lived. Su miles below Georgetown and about l2 miles from Kalmakofsky.
 After the shooting Tisdale started alone up the trail to Georgetown, ar irving here two days later. and two days efOrC the return of the officers who were up-river bringing down the body of Harry Jacobson. On the return of the officers Tisdale re- ported the matter and was locked up. the deputy marshal leaving this morning for the scene of the shoot, ing.
 Tisdale says little and seems to be very nervous and on the verge of collapse. He did not know if he had wounded or killed Plepln.
 A messenger who arrived late to- night. and who had been sent for an rfiicer. stated hat Plepln died al- most instantly. but he knew little else about the affair.
 Tisdale says the shooting was in self defense; that he believed his life was in danger, especially from pOi.on. which would indicate that his mind is moi quite right. No fur ther facts leading up to the tragedy can be learned al th IS writing.
 Joseph F. Plepln was born al St. Mary's. near Montreal. Canada, where his parents reside. his father being a wealthy banker. He was well cdu- cated. well liked and popular with everybody. He was at one time a bookkeeper in his fathers bank. then a hoCkkecper in DawsOI. then drf1ed over To Fairbanks. and had q lay on No. II Goldsrream and after wards on Clcary He stampcdcd to IditarOd. where he proSpcCt"d. then came on the stampede tO the kuSkOk. vim. arriving at Takntna and went from there to kOlm&kotsky on inc Quirkstop After the freeze-up, he came To GCOrgotoWn with his dog team. and made three round rips from here to Iditarod to assist a Frenchman named Pharro. who Wa- arrested and bound over to court charged with selling or giving whis ky tp natives

Qn memory of George Howard, an old Yukon pioneer, who froze to death on the trail near Diskaket. on December lG, 1910D Will you let an Alaskan pioneer
 Who is just in from the hill Say a few words in memory
 or one who lies cold and still l spent a winter with this Yukon
 pioneer, Who told me tales of hardship
 And never shed a tear. He was always generous-hearted And would never let you pass Without saying to you, Stranger, Come in and break your fast One spring he came to Fairbanks. But he never was fond of town: So he loaded up his polling boat
 And fOated the river down Then he poled up the Kantishna
 Where he heard they'd made a
 strike.
 But soon found pencil miners
 Had staked everything in sight. So he drifted down the Yukon,
 Poled up the Iditarod; That winter old George Howard Was very poorly shod. Then he tlOated in to Dikeman On the first of last July, And he told me hard luck stories That would almost make you cry; How he'd wintered without bacon In the drifting hills of snow. Discouraged. weary undecided Didn't know just where to go. But he hiked into the Ditna.
 Where he'd heard they'd found
 some gold; But again was disappointed,
 And the mush was long and cold So he sat him down upon the trail So weary with the quest, And they found him there next morn
 ing
 You old-timers know the rest. He has gone upon his last stampede, Where they have no gold or snow. And we know that he's in heaven, Where all old pioneers go.

 NEXT MONDAY

Next Monday William Mullen and Auditorium A Celebrated Case the famous drama they have had in course of rehearsal for the past sev- eral weeks. IL is confidently pre- dicted that this play will be better rendered and give more general sat isfaction than any yet seen in Fair banks, as the drama itself is one of the strongest ever produced, and the cast is without doubt the most capa- ble ever gotten together in the camp.
 There have been many rehearsals of the play, and now all the members of the cast are letter perfect Some of the situations in A Celebrated Case are most interesting. and the intensity of the plot is such as to cOerce the rapt attention Of the audi enCe. The management has been most fortunate in securing the ser vices of a thoroughly adequate cast, and it can be said that no one of the many parts has fallen into inca pable hands
 There will be some lew faces seen in the cast next Monday, and it is certain that those about to make their theatrical debut here will be ac- corded very generous welcome, as they have demonstrated at rehearsal that they are fully equal to the tasks allotted to them. Among those who will be seen for the first time on the local stage will be Mrs. A, F. Her pick, Mir. Fred Date. MT. Walter Row son and MT. Frank Green.
