From Tuesdays Daily

The community was shocked last night by the accidental death of H. D. Kirmse the jeweler. Mir. Kirmse had gone down to the wharf when the Humboldt was coming in to get a package the purser or that vessel was bringing him. The tide was pretty we'll in at the time, so that the main deck of the vessel was almost on a level with the dock. Just as the boats headway was stopp- ed, Mir. Kirmse stepped over the guard rail of the dock On- tc the plate on the outside to reach over and get the pack age, when his feet slipped and he fell, striking first on the vessels rail, and then head long to the guard just above the waterline, striking on his head and crushing ill the skull, killing him instantly. As quickly as possible rope was lowered and the body hauled upon to the dock, and Doctors Myers and Miller made hurried examination to find out what could be done, but found that life was extinct. The body was then taken to the morgue where 1t is being prepared from ship ment to Seattle for interment.
 The dead man was 10 years ot age, and the most promi- nent jeweler in Southeastern Alaska, having stores at Skag- way and Ketchikan. He leaves wife and three children, Gladys, Jack and Daniel. For sixteen years he had been a resident of Skagway, moving 10 Ketchikan within the past month where he had opened a store last May. He was a member of the Arctic Brother hood and the Elks lodges at Skagway, and possessed a host of friends everywhere in Alaska who mourn his untime- ly death.

Thomas company at Spacious bay; and i50 tierces of mild cured salmon from here and points north. In all a big cargo of the products of thl, region, and one which brings the necessary cash into the country to develope it and fos- ter the growth of the district us a whole.
 In addition to her cargo, the Alki had a goodly sized pas senger list, including 10 from this port.

AN ALASKAN ROMANCE

John Radovich, six feet three inches of husky Montenegrin brawn and muscle, came to the Panama valley some few seasons ago to make his for tune. Having a liking for in- dependence, he hied himself to the hills, wood cutting per init slowed away in his shirt. Near the head of Pearl creek, a little stream that runs into the slough not far from the Ester minng district, he built him @ cabin. Then started the work of felling the silvery birches that cover the hills Of the Panama watershed. Tree ny tree, log by log, the stand ing timber was transformed in to combustible cordwood.
 In another section of the earth, a national trouble was brewing, for in the Balkan states, the Montenegrins, Rul= garians, Servians, and kindred nationalities were endeavOr- ing to break te chafing bonds that turbaned Turkey had thrown about them. Inde- pendence- -cherishing folks. the residents of the Balkan states sent their sons to war. Some were killed, others were cap tured and hundreds were in- iured. Still the fighting went on.
 One day last week, Radovich woodcutter, received a cable gram from his patriotic par ents in the little hamlet in Southern Europe, where he saw the light of day and where he had his first boyhood scrap. The cablegram conveyed the brief statement that his broth CT had been killed while fighL- ing for his country against Turkey.
 Radovich did not ponder long. He decided to go back and help pound the fear of a righteous God ntO the hides of the aforementioned Turks. After the expenses incurred during the past summer have been paid, Radovich plans to start out over the trail, headed for the scene of strife in the Balkans. There he will enlist with the Montenegrin army and "help kill the Turks s''- Fairbanks Times.

EVIDENCE SHOWS
AXLE WAS SAWED
Sheriff Sharp Begins lnvesti-
CATION Of Motorcycle Mys-
terry at Wandamere.

Evidence resulting from invesuiga
tion of the cause OF the breaking OF
the rear axle Of the motorcycle ridden
by Mat Warden at the motordrome
Thursday night, is said to be Of ma
ture to substantiate the suspicion held
that the breakdown was result OF ma
licious design Sheriff Joseph c. Sharp
said last night that the axle must, In
his opinion, have been sawed with
hack saw. Viewed with the naked eye,
the marks Of the saw teeth are not
nIain- hut the sheriff and others exam.
ined them with Il powerful lens, winch
showed plainly that the metal had been
sawed.
Speaking Of the results Of his inVestl-
CATION at the shed in which the ma,
chine was kept, Sheriff Sharp stated
that he was not prepared to say wneth-
er he found filings on the floor OF tne
place or not. No arrests were mace
yesterday Both Odip and Ben John
son expressed themselves as ANXIOUS
that the investi igation should proceed
until the mystery is laid bare.
According to Norman Hopper, assist
ant manager, the machine that broke
down was not the ''White Hope,' the
machine that johnson had been riding,
but was tine Mccall machine, into which
the rear wheel from the Johnson s ma
chine was fitted at clock Thursday
afternoon. Warden, who was to ride
the machine ordinarily ridden by Bill
lie' Mccall, discovered that the rear
wheel was not in serviceable condition
and at the order of Mr.. Hopper, j.. A
Mcneil. the mechanic in charge of the
machines, replaced it with the rear
wheel from Johnson S motorcycle. The
condition of the axle was not dlscoy-
cred at that time for the reason that
the cut in the bolt was at the extreme
inner end of the thread and concealed
by burs not necessarily loosened In
making the transfer.
Both the park officials and Sheriff
Sharp are determined to probe the mat.
ter thoroughly. Should guilt be fixed
upon any person, the charge would
be malicious mischief, it is
said.
