FINE TREATMENT
 ON THE GEDNEY

The passengers and crew of lie wrecked Curacao are loud and unanimous in their praise o the crew of the Gedney for ,be treatment accorded at their hands. From Captain Derrick son to the mess boy they all put themselves to lots of troub ls to make the wrecked people comfortable. They gave up ;heir bunks and four sittings at the tables before they got fed themselves. While the accom- : Odations on the Gedney are very limited they all say that they could not have been treated better if they had been kings. l.. J. Coughlin the purser ot the Curacao had charge of the people until they reached Ket- chikan where they were taken n charge by the Customs House. They will be sent { oath this evening on the Northwestern.

 Captain William Thompson .irst Officer, A. Vie; Second Officer, l.. A. LaatZ; Steward. Ii. kirmson; and BOatswain d.

The crew numbered 37, with nine officers making a total cf eighty five people.
 The ship is laying in a fairly well protected position and is hung with her bow on a rock, but her stern is resting on the sand and she can probably be raised providing she is not too badly injured. This cannot be determined until divers are oa the ground and have made an examination.
 The fore going is from lhc pencil Of John Edward Dray, a California newspaperman WHO was on board the Curacao al the time.

Snlp COlllpdny IS lay luS tOudy total wreck on the West Coast o: Prince of Wales Island. She was steaming on her regulcr course from Craig to Swlft| Cannery at the Warm Chuck Oil the morning of June 2l. She had passed St. Phillips Island and was abeam of Culehra Is
 land and about a mile and a half off shore when she struch, an unchartered rock. She struck while going at regular speed on her starboard bow and passed clear over the rock. I he channel where she struck is three miles wide and is {, perfectly strait course at that point. The rock is almost in tie center. of Tonoweka Bay. To people standing on deck it felt as if the boat were thrown hlgh ill the air. The ship then took a heavy list to port
 followed by a very heavy list U >tarboard after she had righled herself. The Captain, Wm. Thompson, ordered the wire less operator F. A. Shaeffer to secure help if possible. He i'm mediately sent out the $. O. $. call and continued to do so until the engine room became flooded and cut off the power. The Captain ordered the life boat. cleared away in readiness fOl lowering as the damage Was evidently serious. The ship Sirile;l at 7:20 A.

 bout S:30 A. NJ. but he was lti, able to establish communication with her on account of the hie,a hills intervening. The opera
 tors Of the Commercial land stations were all off shift and he was unable to get any of them. The shores at that point are all steep and rocky and there was no place near, where she could be beached so she was headed for Swifts Can- nery as that is the nearest place with any beach. She was al most in to the cannery when the boilers became flooded and the engines went out of com ission. She was under head

CRUISE OF THE GALVESTON
By J. T. Dickson Staff Correspondent for the

l
 Ketchikan who was not on one of the city's docks last evening to welcome the officers and men of the U. S. s. Galveston, the absentee was either less than one year of age or under the care of a physician. When the big cruiser cast anchor in the harbor a salute of cheers and fire crackers sounded from shore, and a reply was sound- cd on the ships siren.
 The first citizens to board the Galveston were Mayor NJ. J. lieneghan and . City Attorney C.. H. Cosgrove, both of whom were welcomed by Capt. Jen- son, commanding, of the reg ular navy and Lieut.. Command CT w. B. Allison of the Naval Militia of Washington.
 After formal ceremonies were over more than 400 blue jack cts, most of whom were enlist. ed men in the militia service, came ashore in the ships small boats. Local merchants were benefited to a great measure as it is @ we'll known fact that when Jackie" is ashore he spends all his money-and these men were not an eX- ception.
 Executive officers of the Gal weston were lenient in granting shore leave to the men. and the night is one that will be recorded as one of the big events in the history of Ketchi- kan. Officers also came a. shore and the sight of men in officers uniforms and hun Greds of blue jackets visiting places of amusement and en- toying themselves as they chose was one that was an as- surance to this country's rich est territory that Uncle San can and will send his fighting men anywhere at any time they are required.
 The cruise north from Seat tie was uneventful-eXcept for the fact that some of the men were a bit seasick when we struck open water (we came north by the outside way.) We left Seattle Saturday morning. Of course the trip as far as Tatoosh Island was easy for !he unseamanlike seamen, but when the deep sea swell set in mess call was not at all pOpu- las. There is always, aboard the Galveston, plenty of food for all-and of the best quality but even at that many of the men failed to respond to mess call while we were in the open.
 Owing to the fact that Secre- tary of Navy Daniels has is- sued orders that the Galveston rnust be in Seattle June 30 the request of Mayor Heneghan, Mr. Cosgrove, and Mr. Fred Purinton of the Commercial Club, and other prominent cit izens, that the ships comple- ment remain ashore for a ball game and other entertainment, could not be compiled with. We return by the outside, and target practice will be the or der. Guns must be manned ammunition hoists must be ready, and the crew of the Gal weston must make a record.
 The real object of the cruise to ketchikan and Alaskan wat CTS is to give the members of the naval militia a taste of real sea life aboard a man-of-wars- man. In command of the Gal weston is Captain Jenson in the regular service, assisted by Can't w Frank Andrews cOm- |

for SALE Mr.. Morgan was smooth
talker and knew the prices that Mr..
Sensiba had been paying for his liz
quors. His prices were invariably
from o. to 20 cents case lower than
Mr.. Sensiba had usually paid. the re-
suit was that he easily booked Mr..
Sensiba for nice order of liquors.
This, OF course, was all leading up to
what was to follow later In the day.
After he had booked Mr.. Sensiba for
good order Mr. Morgan left him and
didn't show up again until long in
the afternoon, when he again appeared
in the bar and asked Mr.. Seusiba If
he would cash an expense check ior
him. AS the check only amounted to
800 Mr.. SensIba readily cashed It. It
was drawn on Baltimore Md. bank
and was signed by Thos. e. Carroll d.
Son Co., by l.. w. Carroll. II wac az
ter banking hours so that II was not
deposited in the local banks until the
following day In the course OF several
days il was returned 80 the local pank,
with the instructions that there were
no funds to meet ii
Mr. Sensiba at once made a draft to
Thos q. Carroll 81 Son Co.. but after
several days that also was returned
with the endorsement on the back that
the check was forgery and that there
was no such person as Thos, c. Car
roll, connected with the firm and that
A. r. Morgan, who had several other
names was not in the employ OF said
firm.
IL was cleverly worked scheme and
had probably been worked in many
other places, az the fellow had been
operating in Iowa, Wisconsin and
Michigan for some months. The check
was In regular form and could easily
have been worked anywhere.
