In a desperate effort to save his COM
panion, Aubrey L. Miller. aged eight
from drowning in the waters of Hunt
ing Creek late yesterday afternoon,
Charles Grover, a boy of about the
same age, barely escaped the same
fate.
The two lads, both of whom are
rated as good swimmers, donned bath
ing suits and dived off the north end
OF the highway bridge which spans the
creek. They padded in the water for
some moments, when Grover was sud-
denly startled by a scream from his
chum.
He found that Miller was struggling
in the swift current, which had car
ried him beyond his depth. Grover
quickly swan to the drowning lads
side, only to be grabbed by him in
his futile effort. Grover was nearly
dragged under before he could olsen
gage himself Then Miller had gone
down for the last time.
Quickly dressing himself, Grover ran
to the boys home, 342 South Patrick
street, and gave the alarm.
The body was recovered nearly an
hour later by Arthur Simpson, who
was fishing near the bridge. 1t was
living near the shore in two feet OF
The boy is the son Of Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Miller. Mr.. Miller is employed
as a car inspector by the Washington

Residents of Seward are expecting a boom this spring when the railroad company begins construction work. In addition to the press reports to the ef- feet that the money has been raised to push the construction 10 the Matanuska coal fields, the people of Seward are further encouraged by the fact that the company, or persons connected there with, have had parties in that place Jhs winter who have taken a number of options of mining property, both gold and copper, along the line of the road

Old Quartz Property
 On Gaines Creek Sold

The sale of the famous quartz ledge on Gaines creek is the report brought back from Innoko by Carl Rogers, of the American bank, who says that the property was recently purchased by Lew Edwards and Bill Warner for $25,- 900. the first payments not being made public. John Mackey was one of the owners, but the names of his associates cannot be learned here.
 This ledge has been known for several years, and besides being quite rich, is thought to be extensive. It lays on the divide between Gaines and Yankee, and has been worked in small way. In fact, it has been a bank account where the owners could take out better than wages at any time with mortar and pan. The new owners will try to open it up CD larger scale.

THINGS LOOKING BAD
 FOR WILLIAM REAGAN

Already convicted by rumor and sen fenced all the way from 10 to 20 years for rape, Wm. Reagan, the well-known tailor of Fairbanks seems to be in a very bad way. The last authentic news concerning the case is to the effect that it was set for trial on March 20 on the charge of rape, the victim being Miss Violet Myers, and the defendant being held without bail.
 The trial was continued from March 29 and the latest arrivals know nothing about the conclusion of the case or any sentence. It is possible that he has been sentenced however, and since the evidence in the case seems to have been very strong and the feeling against him very bitter, it is probable that he is up against it hard.
 The defendant has been a tailor in Fairbanks for some years, and con- Iducted a shop back of the old WA. bank building on Second avenue. He is a married man, Mrs. Reagan being out side at the present time.
 The complaing witness, girl under l6 years of age, is the daughter of Mrs. Gussie Myers, a widow who has been working in Reagan's shop. The offense is charged to have been committed some months ago.
