CHAPTER VII.
THE BENDING OF HORACE
BLAGDEN.

Late the next afternoon Horace re-
eeived a telegram that puzzled him not
a little. 1t was from Chetwynd. "Who
won the prize? Wire me at the Hol-
land as usual"
What puzzled Horace was this: what
had become Of the telegram addressed
10 his son at the Holland half an hour
after the awarding of the prize the day
before? Blu what would have puzzled
anyone who knew Mr.. Blagden at all
well, was his action in sending a sec
ond telegram without inquiring at the
telegraph office why the first had not
been delivered. The thin line between
b bankers eyes seemed to have deep
ened ~perceptibly after the receipt of his
sons query. Somehow, he a the ugly
notion that his first telegram was ly-
ing unclaimed at the hotel in New York.
Mr.. Blagden usually left the bank at

tice. not to say habit, to walk up the
street to his club--the only one in town

and engage In a subsequent game of
cribbage with Colonel Harkweather

anything else. On this particular af-
ternoon, however, the colonel not only
read the Boston papers, but scanned

the magazines. Finally he went home
In fine disgust. 1t was the first time
In months that Blagden had failed to

1t occurred to him that the banker
might be Ill. So he entered a drug
store and telephoned to the house on
b Hill. He was not at all relieved
to bear from Mrs. Blagden herself that

II faything, the colonel was more flu
rio ,s than before. considering himself
a much abused man. He kept saying

EDWARD KRAUSE
 WAS NABBED
JUST AS HE WAS STEPPING OFF
 GANGPLANK OF STEAMER JEFFERSON
TO BE BROUGHT BACK
To Answer Charge of Kidnapping William Christie Of
 Douglas

SEATTLE, Nov. 16-Just as Ed ward Krause, a resident of Peters burg, and a we'll known Socialist of Southeastern Alaska, stepped off the gangplank of the steamer Jeff ferson last evening, 6 United States Marshal arrested him in a warrant sworn to at Juneau, in which Krause is charged with the crime of kid mapping William Christie, married man and an employe of the Tread well Mining Company, of Douglas.
 The Juneau papers at the time of the kidnapping published state ments to the effect that Krause was enamored with Mrs. Christie, a former Mrs. Gesekus, and was jeal- ous. A couple of weeks ago, it ap- pears that Krause went to Douglas and represented himself to Christie as a Deputy Marshal, and wanted him to go across to Juneau as a WltiiCoo III q CdoS pSHuItlS uGlOTe Cll6 court. From that day to this, nothing has been seen of Christie nor Krause until a few days ago when the latter came to Ketchikan where he registered at the Royal Lodging House under the name of O. E. Moore.
 Mir. Carlson, of the Northern Hotel, met Krause and as he knew him well, naturally spoke to him. The next day, the Progressive-Min- CT published a statement to the ef- feet that the Juneau authorities had failed to locate the said Krause. This came to the attention of MT. Carlson, who informed Deputy Mar shal Howell, who in turn wired the head office at Juneau giving what ever information he had received. with the results stated above. A re- ward of five hundred dollars has been offered for his apprehension.

.IMBUED WITH
 PROPER SPIRIT
THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTION SHOULD RECEIVE SINCERE
 CONSIDERATION
tCommunication)


 To the People of Ketchikan:-
 The Ketchikan Commercial Club has been recognized and the under signed has been chosen President.
 The Executive Board seems to think that under his leadership, a solution might be found to the numerous questions, involving the prosperity of our town and vicinity, especially the fish question.
 Perhaps a mistake has been made, in which event the writer will be very glad to have it remedied at any time in a manner calculated to bring lbout the desired result.
 It is unfortunate for the town hat the fishermen of our vicinity find it advantageous to sell their catches at Rupert at the present time. There must be reason for shis otherwise the fishermen would sell their products here. At the same time the Executive Board of the Commercial Club, in behalf of the community generally, Is very de Sirous that all fish caught in Ameri- can waters or the vicinity thereof. should find an equally advantageous lueratice market here at Ketchikan and to that end invite the confidence and cooperation of those engaged in the business of halibut fishing, that this result may be brought a. bout.
 The writer would consider it personal pleasure to receive state ment of the reasons why the fisher men take their product to Rupert, in order that those reasons may be met and the product disposed of here in order that our community may receive the benefit of that busi- ness.
 The writer takes the liberty of further saying that he has no fish to fry and axes 10 grind in thls con nection and interests himself in this question simply as citizen of Ket- chikan. where he has lived for al- most IS years. and as head of the Ketchikan Conmerciai Club by choice of those chosen to represent it.
 It is hoped that those interested in that business and he people of Ketchikan generally, will respond to this communication and receive it in the same spirit in which it Is written in order that everybody may share in the added prosperity that will come from the disposal of this great American product in the town where it rightfully belongs.
 Respectfully,
 CHAS. H. COSGROVE.
 President Ketchikan Commer-
 cial Club.
