STORY PROVES

About three weeks ago two men returning from the Big Cinema coun- try brought to this city weird tales of the menae to life that lurked in the woods in that district. The menace was in the form of a man who had a mania for killing, and whose presence there Was an abso- lute danger to the life of the hunt ters and picknickers who frequent that region. The man was Her man Kessler Britt and Anderson, the two men who brought to town this tale of Mr Kessler's unfortuu- ate state of mind, said that Kessler had shot at them while they were floating down stream. They had rushed ashore according to their story, seized the man who had en- dangered their life, and although they had seen him shoot, he denied the fact, and broke from their grasp. oily to uiodpptal III thC "oouo.
 Upon the arrival of the two bad ly scared men, the United States officials were notified. and Assist ant District Attorney Brown was asked to send men up to the scene of the supposed crime and take into GUS tody the perpetrator thereof Surely the government should take some action to safeguard the lifes of its citizens With this fearful. sense less, wicked creature at large no one could safely wander beyond the outskirts of the town. But the gov ernment did not act.
 On Friday Herman Kessler came to town with a moose that weighed over eight hundred pounds dressed. He sold his catch, walked around town and was in now way molested. His talk was absplutely rational, and when seen by a representative of the Alaska Citizen he seemed to be surprised at the charges that were made against him, although he had heard nothing of them official ly He explained the matter by saying that he was trying out his gun preparatory to entering the thick brush, and that he was stand ing on the river bank when he fired 1t. There was a bend in the river there, and it is possible that his gun might have carried over the crook in the landau d grazed the boat of the men who were so terri bly, frightened. but as to his mania for killing.

TAT I WOULD RATHER NIT
 CO ID VAR

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. s. - Al though President Taft will not in tervene in Mexico without the full, est deliberation. he is taking steps that would mean war. Friends very close to the president declared to- day that the chief executive says that a war with Mexico is nearer than it has been at any time since the troops were rushed to the bord- CT line eighteen months ago. Unless the Mexicans quit their molestation of the property of American citizens, and the murder of innocent and disin- terested residents of the American colonies in Mexico it seems as though war with the southern re- public will be inevitable.
