THANKSGIVING DAY Is
 QUIET IN SKAGWAY

Thanksgiving day was ushered in with unusual climatic conditions for this time of the year in the far north and especially in Skagway val ley, where the cold wind in Novem- Der has disagreeabIe habit of sweeping down and chilling the marrow in the bones Of even the 'sourdough.
 There has been very little north wind in Skagway this winter and no cold weather whatever so far. Thanksgiving morning was perfect ly calm, about all inch of snow having fallen during the previous few hours of darkness. During the greater part of the day, the feathery flakes came down intermittently and have kept it up almost continuously since, until at the present writing about six inches lies on the level in the streets of the town.
 The day was observed gea- erally by the people of Skagwa in an appropriate manner. At the Catholic church at 1O:3O q. m. Thanksgiving mass and an ad- dress by Rev. Father Turnelt were the features, while at the Metho- dist Episcopal church at s D. m, there was a short sermon by Rev. L. H. Pedersen and a report made Of the donations to the Red Cross society for the relief Of the Iffer;ng in Europe.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
 FROM OLD SKAGWAYAN

The following Interesting lette: from J. G. Quinlan, q former we'll known Skagwayan who, until a yea" ago, was the pioneer passenger con ductor on the w. P. & Y. R., be- tween this place and Whitehorse, was received here Wednesday. Mn Quinlan left here about a month ago with the intention Of taking up his abode in San Diego, California' but as will be seen he has changed his mind and will again become a resident of this territory, in one Of its outlying and most inaccessible sections.
 Deming, Wash, Nov. 7uh, 1914.
 Dear,Friend: :-According to my promise when I lelt Skagway I was to have written you when I reaeh- ed San Diego, but as matters have since then shaped differently I will do so from here, in the high mountains of Western Washington. where I am now hcving the tine of my life.
 On the day appointed to sail from Seattle for San Diego I met an old time friend from the north, George Van Pelt, and he wanted me to join lim in a hunting trip into the Gas cades; so here I anu, 116 miles from Seattle and six miles from Deming, at the foot of Mt. Baker.
 There are four in our party. The first day we started to climb We all had pretty heavy packs on our backs. l had somewhere about 4c pounds to carry until we reached an altitude of about 16OO feet, wheI an airhose busted and set the brake hard. As the at.-pump could no longer supply the air necessary to release the brakes and let me up it became necessary to reduce ny dunnage to 25 pounds, and after that I got along ell right until we reached our present camp, which s at an elevation of approximately $500 feet, and for a fellow that has not done much climbing for sev eral years you can bet that was going some
 We have been here four weeks, and killed four deeer and any quan- tity of birds. l certainly have eA- joyed the trip ami am feeling fit and fine because of the daily eXer- else am getting ill this pure moun- tain air. We are camped in a love Iy spot, and are HOW resting Up few days preparatory to taking the tack track for Seattle.
 Instead of going to California, as was my intention when left Skag- way. I have decided to go to place on the Kuskokwim river, Nj cola, Alaska, about 600 miles from Bettles. I have bought a half in terest in a trading post there from George Van Pelt, and it is our in tention to go in early in the winter, but we may put our trip off until the opening of navigation, as we will have quite an outfit to take along which we could not readily handle if we go oyer the trail.
 Personally, I would rather wait until May for sad to say, am getting quite fleshy and don't have much inclination to reduce it to any great extent by the exertion of walk ing.
 We'll, I think I will ring off TOT this time.
 From your friend,

ASSAULT ATTEMPTED
Upon 13-Year-Old Girl by
"Shorty" Kinds Citizens
Incensed and Offer Re-
ward for Culprit

Excitement ran high here Mon
day when it was learned that a
criminal assault had been at
tempted by Jim Shorty Kinds
upon Lula Turner, 13-year-old
daughter of Mrs. ]. S. Turner.
The crime was attempted about
2 o'clock Monday afternoon at
the Estill Springs, and the child
was only saved by the timely
interference of Miss Bell Ben
nett, of Richmond, who is a
guest at the Springs. Miss Ben
nett heard the child's cries for
help and ran to her assistance,
and struck Kinds in the face
several blows.
Town marshals Denner and
Spivey were notified and imme-
diately went to the Springs but
Kinds escaped. Later Sheriff
Broaddus summoned a posse and
followed his trail as far as Iron
Mound, several parties having
seen him going in that direction
along the new railroad. Word
was received Tuesday that ne
stopped overnight at a railroad
camp near iron Mound, but no
further trace has been found.
The citizens are highly incensed
over the affair and a reward is
being raised for his apprehen-
sion. Kinds came here a year
or so ago and worked around at
different points on the railroad.
He left a few weeks ago to work
for a contractor at Lexington,
and returned to Irvine last Satur-
day night.
LATER Kinds was arrested
yesterday afternoon near Lexing-
ton by Deputy Sheriff D. S.
Garrett and brought here on the
night train and lodged in Jail.

est Sunday school in the world.
The attendance June 18th, was
l7,7l6. This was the climax of a
contest against twenty six Chris
tan churches in Chicago, lasting
twenty two Sundays. Canton
won by more than 300, and add
ed SOC new pupils to its school.
DR.. Quisenberry preached at
the Baptist Church in the morn
ing on "The Haunted Church"
and in the evening to a large au-
dience at the Opera House on
The Church of the Future.
Both sermons were much en-
joyed.
At the Methodist church no spe-
cldl service was given but a good
audience greeted the popular pas
tor DR.. B. c. Horton who always
has a message worth hearing.
Next Sunday will be Woman's
Day in the Bible School at the

next Sunday morning.. Let us
be faitaful despite the hot wealth
er. How about coats for men,"

Horribly Mangled And Killed

Thursday morning about two
O'Clock young Aldridge who was
passing by the! L. & N. Freight
Depot found Stafford Parker ~.
ing across the railroad track
asleep. He tried to arouse him
but the man threw him off and
cursed him. The boy went to
the telephone and called UP po-
lice headquarters and while he
was at the telephone an unex-
pected relief engine from Win
chester came along and ran over
Parker, cutting the'right limb in
three pieces cutting the left limb
off and severed the right
arm and mangled the body.
When relief came the man was
found still alive, but unable to
talk, and died shortly afterwards.
Mr.. Parker had started to Jack
son where he was at work for the
Hurst Plumbing Co.. and it is not
known what caused him to be on
the track. No foul play is sus-
pected for the reason that some
time in the afternoon he had a
check for $3.50 cashed, from the
proceeds of which he paid Old
ham & Laakey $40, gave his
mother $40 and a $40 bill was
found on his person.
Mr.. Parker was a son of Mrs.
Rebecca Parker who lives near
this city, and has a brother in the
employ of the Kentucky Utilities
Company. He was unmarried.
His interment was in the Rich
mond Cemetery.
