LITTLE BOY IMPROVES;
 GAN SPEAK AND HEAR

William Pelton. the 4-year-old boy who was committed to St. Ann's hos. pital ten days ago by the United States marshal Is reported as being very much improved When first ta- ken to the hospital it was thought that the child was both deaf and dumb. but with his returning strength It has developed that his failure to hear or speak has probably been due to the fact that he has not been properly nourlshed and cared for.
 The boy is the son of destitute par ents who reside at Lemon creek and is one of four children He is being cared for by the federal indigent fund and will be kept at the hospital Intil some means of taking care of him otherwise can be found. It Is believ- ed that a very slight operation upon bis throat will be necessary before he will be able to speak distinctly. His mother stated at the time he was en- tered that to her knowledge he had never heard nor spoken.

INDIAN MAID WOULD
 BREAK INTO PRISON

Friday night the guards of the fed eral Jail had considerable difficulty in handling a maiden of the Thlinget village who was determined to break into the jail in order that she might enjoy the experiences of her husband who had been detained there on a warrant sworn out by Warden H. F.. Morton. charging him with drunk enness.
 Shortly after Edward Metjay. the offending native. had been put in the jail in company with Frank Gamble another native who had met up with John Barleycorn, Mrs. Metjay appear ca or the ooono- and demanded admit tance to the jail. Warden Morton in- dicated that there was nothing doing whereupon the lady threatened to weep. But the jailer was not impress ed and a guard took the lady down the hill and started her toward the village. As the guard came back up the steps to the jail, the native woman came back up the trail, and she got there just about as soon as he did.
 Then another guard was commis- stoned to escort her down the hill, and another time she climbed back and with much humping on the barred door and many tears.
 Two guards were then selected to take Mrs. Metjay down the hlll and then down the steps into the Indian village. This time she stayed at home.
