PAROLED MAN
MAY RETURN
To FAIRBANKS

Word has reached this city through
Marshal l.. I. Erwin. who is now in
Seattle. that Robert Dunn VIII re-
ceived 12-year sentence to the
penitentiary for the killing of Carl
tlbing on Dome creek five year ago
the 18th of next month. had been par
oiled from the pententiary at Me
Neils Island on the I'D of the pres
ent month.
Several efforts have been made in
the past to secure Mr. Dunn's pardon,
the last petition being in circulation
something like year ago to which
every juror who sat on the case at
the time of cenyict.on subscribed
his name. II is the general sun
position that had the jurors thought
Mr.. Dunn would have been deal
with SO strenuously they would have
had some hesitancy in finding hin
guilty OF the crime.
1t is understo d that Rev. J. IL
Condit took quite an interest in Mr..
Dunns case, and made the state
ment while in Dawson enroute Out
side to parties whom he met there
that it was his intent on to interest
himself in the case Immediately upon
his arrival there. and there is VERY
little doubt but that it was through the
good offices of Mr. Cond.t that he
board took the action which they
have.
Mr.. Leroy Tozier was Mr. Dunn's
attorney, and to him Dunn has stat
ed. since his Incarceration, that as
soon as he could gain his freedom
he intended to return to Alaska
and take up mining, and in all prob
ability that is what Mr.. Dunn will
do now that he is out on par IL
At the time of being granted a parole
the prisoner selects some locality in
which he wishes to take up his resi-.
dence and gives the name of some
Pers II who is willing to stand spon-
sor for him. Mr.. ToZier thinks he
would have no trouble in getting such
a sponsor, and that the dozens of
friends in this country would be
only too glad to help put the man
on his feet again should he select
this as his future home.

ing company. which went to the
circuit court at San Francisco on
appeal, will come up for hearing

in the case brought in an instructed
verdict for the defendant
The suit was commenced in 1911
when the plaintiff replevined two
river steamers and two barges, and
asked for damages to the amount of
100000. The cost of printing the
appeal brief would have been in
the neighborhood CT $1,700, but up
on proper showing that expense
vas dispensed with and the case
will be heard upon the typewriter

What Has Become of eentrya
The questions are asked repeated

The questions are asked repeatedly
Where is Clarence Gentry" and
What is he doing?" Our intimacy OF
old school days and my acquaintance
with his work since place ME in po
sition peculiarly fitting to answer both
these questions Therefore, for the in.
terest of his many friends who are
anxious for his success l am glad to
have the opportunity throuvh the cour-
tesy of the Herald to tell the story of
his late progress.
Clarence graduated from Pleasant
Hill Academy in 1909, with second
highest honors of his class, loved by
both teachers and students. In June
OF that year we parted in pursuit of
different interests and were lost to
each other for three years and nine
days In June 1912 found Clarence
in the city of Paducah, KY, and since
that time l have been in close touch
with his work.
He began working in Sept. 1910 as
night operator in the fire department
of Paducah for $40 per month. AT the
end of four months he was promoted
to fireman, receiving $65 per. month
Here he made himself reputation.
He left the fire station in Aug. 1912
to take position as travelling sales
man. OF he 2O7 statesmen in the
states of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and
Illinois Clarence won a prize for the
best salesman. His honestexpression
and convincing arguments brought
smiles and trade from men and wom-
en- alike. That experience with a
short stay at home kept him away
from Paducah fop almost a year. In
the meantime urgent requests and en-
treating letters were pouring in from
the Paducah fire department. After
his return he was promoted immedi-
ately to position paying $50 month.
He held that position four weeks only
when a call came for man as first
captain of the department, From the
A men in the department, some hav-
ing been in service for more than 20
years, Clarence was chosen for that
place of honor and responsibility, and
with it came another handsome raise

WANTS new COURT
Cain Would Have 1t Deal With Civil
Employees.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE creation
of a new court to deal exclusively with
the complaints and petitions of ciVll
gested to congress by the national
league of government employees, which
closes its annual convention here to-
day. Steps also were taken to bring
into the organization all of the $780,
900 men in the various federal depart
ments and charters for four new chap
ters of the organization were issued.
The leagues strength at present is said
to be mainly in the east and its mem
bership includes government workers
in the navy yards, arsenals, proving
grounds, powder stations, customs
houses and postoffices.
In advocating the addition of
special tribunal in the judicial sys-
tenn, George L. Cain of Lynn, Mass.
president of the league, insisted that
some such arbiter, distinct from the
civil service commission, was neces-
sary.
The purpose and duties of this
court he said in his annual report,
would be to receive complaints from
civilian employees. of the government
and to act officially on the same in an
expeditions manner, according to the
law and facts presented by witnesses
in an open hearing
He would extend to the court juris-
diction over the matter Of pay and
promotions.

FOR SWEETHEART
Van Week Stole Goods From a
RoSsville Store.
Two Pairs Baby Shoes for
Children of the Widow.

Two pairs of baby shoes, intended
for the little children of his sweet
heart, and two sacks of flour, coffee
and other provisions, intended for the
woman, told an eloquent story of the
downfall of Mahlon Van Week, who
is in the county Jail charged with rob-
bing a store at Rossville last Wednes-
day night.
The baby shoes added the last
touch of romance to the affair. They
were intended, the officers say; for the
small children of Mrs. Mossbarger of
Willard, at whose home Van Week
has been boarding for some time. The
stolen articles also included rings and
other jewelry, calico and silks and
other goods for feminine uses. With
the exception of a couple of pairs of
corderOyS and several pairs of wool
socks and mittens, Van Week took
almost nothing he would use himself.
Mrs. Mossbarger is a striking young
woman who, at the age of IS, is the
mother of two children, aged and 2
years, and who has been deserted by
her husband. Van Week says Mrs.
Mossbarger and her mother, Mrs.
Gibbs, needed the articles he stole for
them, and which he was prevented
from delivering by a revolver in the
hands of the Rossvil1e watchman.
When Van Week was arrested at
Rossville the woman in the case and
of her boarders, Wallace
Brown, also were arrested. Since his
arrest Van Week, who is only 9 years
old, stoutly denies that anybody is to
blame for the attempted robbery but
and declares that although
they had talked somewhat about rob-
bing the store, nobody knew he in
tended to commit the robbery the
night it was attempted, or had any
thing to do with planning it
Van Week is the son of H. w. Van
Week a well to do farmer who lives
about four miles north of Rossville.
He says he left home because he could
not stand young stepmother mis-
father married.
The officers still are investigating
the case with the idea that others
may have been implicated in the rob-
berry. Sheriff L. L. Kiene has been
busy with the case and expects to
make further investigations. He has
found that Van Weeks record is clear
up to the present offense, and that he
has borne a good reputation around
Rossville, where he has spent most of
his life

by a stranger seeking to obtain en-
trance into the palace. When he was
stopped by a gendarme and asked his
business, he pulled out a revolver and
shouted:
This election should not take
place."
He was at once disarmed and arrest
ed. A number of other suspects also
were taken into custody. The govern
ment took unusual military and police
measures along the railway lines from
Paris to Versailles which were guard
ed the whole distance by military men
posted at intervals of 100 yards.
A force of 1000 policemen drawn
from all -es of France was brought
here this morning well as detach-
ments of troops of all arms, while the
garrison of Versailles was confined to
its quarters.
A Voice Interrupts.
The national assembly was opened
promptly at o'clock this afternoon
by Antonin Dubost, president of the
senate, who read the decree of convo-
cation in a loud, clear voice. Every
inch of space in the great hall was
occupied. Nine-tenths of the specta-
tors in the galleries were women. Ev-
erybody present was listening with
strained attention when suddenly a
thunderous voice, from the body of
the hall shouted, I'VE protest against
-' The rest of the phrase. was
lost in tumult of cries and exclama-
tions.
The voice was that of the Conserva-
tive deputy, the Marquis Albert de
Dion, who, when the uproar had some
what subsided, started afresh, I'VE
protest against the election of the
president of the republic by parliament
instead of by the people,"
The assembly was agitated anew by
a shout from a Socialist deputy:
Down with the empire
The Republicans replied by cheer
ing:
Long live the republic"
Senator Dubost, who was a veteran
parliamentarian, gradually restored
order by admonishing the assembly
that such Interruptions were deplorable
and futile as well as being contrary to
the rules of what was merely an cleo
toral college, where motions and
speeches whatever their character
were not permissible
