made Fairbanks creek famous, left
on Thursdays stage for the Outside,
where he will join Mrs. Mclean
boats. While Mr.. Mclean has dis

GUARDS DOING NICELY
SAYS THE NEWS-MINER

There has been considerable doubt
in the minds OF many whether
Marshal Erwin and his party would
reach Seattle, but that doubt has
been set at rest by tel gram TO
eeived at the home office. accerdin4
to the NeWsMiner OF Wednesday,
1t says: That the party of insaHz
which left Fairbanks IN ole of tn
last boats in charge OF United States
Marshal Erwin and number Of
guards will reach Seattle IS The
information contained III a wire re
eeiyed at the local headquarters
of the marshal's force today. The
MESSAGE was from Ketchikan, III
marshal further stating that all tie
prisoners and guards are now szt-
ing along nicely"
This raises great load fl the
minds of the good people of Fair
banks. Nearly everyone thought the
prisoners would survive the trip. but
some did have fears for the guards
and now that they are reported to
be getting along nicely the entire
population can rest easy until they
are heard from again
