Ignatz Scrulick Later Found Washing
Saloon Windows With Ring
q
ON Finger.

As Sam Tarski, a pawn broker, was
showing J. -Mallis a $500 diamond
ring he had lin hook" lgnatz Seru-
lick stalked into the EATERS store.
Spying the glistening stone lgnatz
calmly picked 1t up, put IL on his fin
ger and walked out Neither TarslIi
nor Malkis made a move TO stop him,
but after he had disappeared they
woke up and set up loud wall and
Detective Sergeant Bamforth was
summoned.
Malkis showed q stubborn attitude
against helping locate Serulick and Vt
was not until the officer had threat
ened to arrest him that he would give
any aid.
Serulick was finally located washing
the windows at the subway saloon, tho
valuable diamond sparkling on his fin
ger. He is charged with drunkenness
and theft.
Tarski says the ring is owned by a
Bristol man who was to redeem IL to-
day.
The ease with which Serulick made
away with the diamond is the more
ludicrous inasmuch as neither Tar
ski nor Malkis knew i'm.

REQUEST FOR MAIL
 SERVICE NOT GRANTED

Fairbanks Times: Ill a letter received yesterday from the second assistant postmaster-general, Post master Guy H. Madara, of Cinema, was informed that the department would not honor the request for q regular mail service to the Kan tishna. The reasons given were that the distance was too great; that there was no postoffice in the Kantishna; that the expense would be too great, and that there were not sufficient people in the district now to justify the deOart- ment in taking any action.
 Last summer, the residents of the Kantishna and a number of people interested in mining proper ty there circulated a. petition ask ing for a regular mail service to the district. Copies of the peti- tion were sent to the president, to the acknowledgement, and to Dele gate Wickersham.
 Although they have met with de- feat the first attempt, tho people of the Kantishna are not discour- aged, according to a number of them who are in town new, and they will renew the request in the near future. They have new plans whereby they think they will be successful, and, as it were, will spring something new on the en- emy.

 FROM THE WESTWARD

Cordova Alaskan: A shipment of 40 foxes valued at about $20,- 900 was made on the steamer Mari posa last night. They are from the Fundy Fox Co.'S assembling station here, are consigned to St. Johns, New Brunswick, and are in charge of c. D. Colwell, sup erintendent of the local station.

The furB of the sil- yer gray variety are valued at $1,25O to $1,5OO each, those of the blue at $50 to $6O, hence the in- ereasing number of fox farms in this part of the country.
