 Continuing Mir. wickarsham said; T say this much to you, because 1t has been said about me that I am forceful, and that I fight and that I am not lady-like in my behavior.

 In referring to the miners lien law, the home rule bill, the railroad bill, the mipe inspection law and the coal leasing measure, Mir. Wick ersham said that he had been able to get things through for this ter ritory that he did not think possible when he started.

 q am being criticised by one of its newspapers. My friend John W. Troy is writing editorials roasting me. He has been criticising ma for weeks because I have not secured full territorial government for AL aska. He does not know what full territorial government is- Some gentleman In Juneau wrote to member of the cabinet that they were fn favor of z full territorial government in Alaska, and got the president to pit those words in his message, and this was the one false note In the message. I have been in favor of a full territorial government for years, and more thau that we have It."

 "The men who are doing this are prominent in Alaska. The gentle men who are carrying on this propo- ganda are federal officials; they do not realize that they are servants; that they should go way back and keep their mouths shut while their masters are running the government

ALICE COX HELD
 FOR KILLING BAKER

Juneau, Oct 2-The eoroner'l
 jury on Tuesday retu.ned verdict
 that R. D. Baker cane to his death
 at Aux bay by rifle shots fired
 from 30-30 in the hands of Alice
 Cox. on September 26, 1914. U. &
 Commissioner J. B. Marshall issued
 warrant for the arrest of Alice
 Cox on the charge of murder, bas-
 ed on the verdict of the jury and
 she is now being held pending the
 action of the next grand jury. She
 was liberated only a few days ago on a suspended sentence for selling liquor to Indians.
 Alice Cox killed R. D. C"Red') Baker at the Weydlich ranch last Saturday. She made tho statement herself at the coroner's inquest this morning. "I didn't want to leave him a cripple,' she said, "and thought I might as well finish 1t up," She was warned that any statement that she would make might be used against her, and re- piled that she wanted to tell the truth. Her story in substance is as follows:
 When they reached the Weydlicn ranch Baker hurried in che, house and got a rifle saying that he would shoot her and the boy. She grap- pied with him oyer the gun and finally got 1t away from him and he ran away. She placed the gun out side the door. Baker came back and commenced to choke her. She broke away and Baker left again, starting for the boat. She said that she thought this was her chance to protect herself and taking the gun she shot him. He did not fall until she had shot three or four times. She said that Baker had said that he would kill both herself and the weylich boy.
 Baker. Bill Cox, young Geo. Wey- dlich and Alice Cox left Juneau in the weydlich launch last saturday for the Weydlich ranch at Aux bay. They had some groceries and sup plies along including a bottle of wniskey. They finished the whis- key before reaching the Bill COX place, all of them excepting the boy drinking from the bottle. Arriving at the Cox plase, Bill COX got off and the other three continued to the Wedlich ranch.
 Baker tried to force her and the boy into small boat that was near ly filled with water to row ashore, wanting to anchor the launch. she insisted on the launch going to shore and this was done. Baker hurried up to the cabin. The boy told her he had seen Baker slip package of cartridges in his pocket. When they got to the house Baker had the gun and said he was going to kill them. There had been no quarrel, she said except over going ashore and she had never seen Bak- er act that way before.
 Alice Cox is not related to Bill

 On Tuesday, November 3, 1914 the election of one United States Senator al d seven Congressman from Arkansas will take place.
 The Republicans have an op- ponent against James P. Clarke, the Democratic nominee for Sen- ator. The Democratic nominee from the Third and Fourth lCon- gressional Districts likewise have opponents.
 While there is no danger from such opposition, yet Democrats should not be found sleeping up- on that date; as matter of party pride, and that the magnificent ministration of President Wilson may be endorsed in Arkansas. Democrats ought to take time to go to the polls and vote.
 The ticket will not be a long one and it can be made out in a short while. Let us. therefore do our duty in Arkansas.

GOT TOUCHED FOR
HIS TICKER
COUNTY OFFICIAL
SAYS HE NEEDS A PROTECTOR
AND NEEDS 1T BAD.

One county commissioner who lin
gered in the city after the last session
of the board in order to attend the
editors convention has telephoned his
wife to send their largest son to
town to act as bodyguard for him
while here, ayerring that he is not
capable of taking proper care of his
personal property and doesn't care
to lose it.
The cause of this hurried message
was prompted by little circumstance
that took place yesterday afternoon.
He was standing on the street talk
ing to couple of the city police, and
his heavy gold watch of which he is
very proud was conspicuOusly display
ed within easy grasp of a pickpocket
if one should chance to be working n
the city. In order to teach him a les
son, one of the police "slicked" the
watch and pulled from his pocket a
his own, meantime carrying on al
animated conversation. They parted
and soon our friend desiring to know
the time of day, reached for his
watch and pulled fro mhis pocket a
dainty little ticker about half the size
of his own. For a single moment he
thought that he was having things,
but it was all too real, and he began
to look for the police, with whom he
had been conversing a short time be
fore, to tell them that he had been
touched and to look out for Dips"
After giving him little lecture on
the propriety Of keeping valuable jew
elry out of sight, they handed him his
time piece and he handed them
bunch of good smokes

K|RKP PATRICK
WILL RUN AGAIN
FRIENDS HAVE BROUGHT PRES.
SURE TO BEAR AND HE HAS AT
LAST CONSENTED.

w. NJ. Kirkpatrick of Fox, county
commissioner from the second COM
missioners district who has held the
office for the past five years has
again announced that he would enter
the race for reelection after the ear
nest appeals of his friends who want
him to remain at the post that he
has so faithfully guarded during that
time.
Mr., Kirkpatrick was appointed to
finish out an unexpired term of Allen
Speak by Governor Haskell, and was
afterwards twice elected by the peo-
pie of his district
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has been a faithful
worker in the ranks of the democrat.
ic party. He served as a member of
the county central committee and
spent time and money in the cause.
After the last election Mr.. Kirkpat.
rick told several of his friends that
he would not become a candidate
again as he had received an appoint
ment as state quarantine inspector by
the board Of agriculture, but owing to
an amendment to the constitution the
old board was deposed and he did not
accept the appointment
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has served on a
board of county commissioners that
shows the biggest decrease in expense
of any county in the state, according
to a report of state examiner Park
inson, and his friends feel that he
could be OF more service to the tax
payers of the county than ever be-
fore, therefore have prevailed upon
him to again enter the race. Mr.. Kirk
patrick lives in hot bed OF socialists
and his many sharp battles with them
on the stump has cause many a mis-
guided "Kumrid" to renounce the
faith and re-enter the fold once more.
Mr. Kirkpatrick knows the needs of
the people of his district and has al
ways been found battling for their
rights, and will continue to do so if
reelected.
