boda. They met him here in January,

visitor to their Riverside Drive apart
ment. They refused to discuss their ac-
quaintance with Swoboda.
The Pollen sisters have figured in
the courts extensively during recent
years. Katherine sued W. Gould Bro.

Both were arrested at me time for
non'payment of hotel bills, and were

TEAM, WAGON AND
DRIVERS CO DOWN
WHEN BRIDGE FALLS
Old Wooden Structure Col
Iapses With Load After
20 Years Of Service

A very serious and what narrowly
escaped being a fatal accident occurred
shortly after s O'Clock last evening
when the covered bridge over Mill
creek, near the boys industrial school,
collapsed while team and heavily
loaded wagon, driven by Harry Ne.
Bride and Frank Hasbrook was cross,
ing and precipitated team, wagon and
boys into the stream. The bridge fell
on top Of the wagon, and it is a marvel
that either of the boys escaped with
his life, but neither was injured very
seriously, and the team also came out
of the mixup with only few minor
scratches.
The bridge is very old one, having
been built about 90 years ago, but it
was supposed 70 have been in fairly
good repair as heavy l4.ton road
roller passed over it in safety about a
week ago, and County Judge Bushey,
who, accompanied by ROadmaster Cul.
vor, visited the scene of the wreck last
evening, is of the opinion that the
boys drove too far over to one side
to allow another team to pass, which
was too much Of a strain upon the
structure and the lover cord of the
truss broke. the bridge tipped and
threw team, wagon and the drivers in.
Ito the river and then the whole struc-
ture went in after them.
The boys clambcred out of tae
wreekage stating that they went clear
under water when the bridge came
down, and hurried to the reform school,
where they secured aelp, and the. team
was extracted from its predcament
without serious injury. The county
court intends to put crew to work
Immediately to place the structure in
condition to accommodate light traffic
until it can be replaced with a more
permanent one.

To Scare" Children

That Charles Peterson of kenai 2 few days ago nearly shot both the little girls of Shorty" Mann, who were in his garden taking turnips, while trying to shoot over their heads in an effort 10 scare them, was the word brought in by Ned Edlleman, who is on bis way to Valdez to attend court, says the Seward Gateway. It seems that the little girls went into the garden to get some t1rnips to eat, when Peterson, looking out of his cabin, saw them and, thinking he would teach them 3 lesson, picked up his A rife and thought he was shooting over their heads Instead the bullet hit both of the children, just grazing each of their cheeks, so that if the aim had been an inch or so of ii would have killed both of them, according to the story. When shorty Mann heard of the affair be had warrant drawn out against Charles Peterson but on hearing that 1t was an accident he with drew the warrant and promised that he would not prosecute.

Toloyaua Flood Losses

A telegram from Brooks. the new town in the Toloyana, dated September l5, says that as 2 result of the recel,. heavy rains the Toloyana river has oYerHowed its banks to such an extent that great damage was done at the mouth of the west fork, where several Of the merchants and mining men had supplies stored. The two sawmills were the heaviest losers as all the saw logs they had on hand were washed away. The Moody mill is reported to have lost 30,0O0 feet of logs, while the Fisher outfit lost about 75, 900 feet. The merchants who lost heay fly were James Gibbs, the Toloyana Cloth ing Company and Paul Ringseth- Sam God frey and Dave Cascaden. mining men, lost a big part of their outfit, which they sent into the new district After landing the property at the west fork it was piled up along the shore in convenient place, from which 1t could be freiehted. The water rose so rapidly that it was impossible to move the tons of goods, and the property was washed away.

Queer Doings of Whaling Company

This has been a good season for the whalers at Akutan The total catch by the steamers Kodiak and Unimak for the sea son includes 217 whales, which yielded 8 OOO barrels of oil. c. E. Stead, sta tionary engineer and SIX employees of the station, arrived at Seward on the Santa Ana recently en route to Seattle. They lave rather uncompEmentary story 10 tell about sanitary conditions and the treat ment of employees at Akutan, according to the Evening Post, and declare that owing to the fact that two congressman are among the stockholders of the company, one revenue cutter has acted ill the roll of ten der to the station Probably the most un- usual statement made by Stead Is that the skipper of the whaling steamer K E. Kirk land, an ex- preacher who manages the company, issued an order against swear ing, and that any man overheard swearing would be placed under arrest on the next trip of the whaler to Kodiak. Stead says that he was discharged by the manager, but that the others quit. Ii seems, accord ing to the men, impossible to handle whales without swearing.

One million cases is the salmon pack for the Bristol bay canneries for this season. according to the estimate of A. H. Mitten- dorf, the principal merchant of Nushagak, who arrived at Seward on September 4, en route to his home in San Francisco, The season has not been up to the expected standard" said Mittendorf to the Evening Post. "but it's far from being as bad as was predicted before the run was over. The faith of the salmon packers in the future of the district is shown by the fact that more can neries are under construction, in addition b the one to be rebuilt which was de stroyed by fire"

One thing which makes It difficult for MaSkans 10 gather CuriOs to the westward Is the early visit of the coast guard cutters each year. Most of the native work Is made daring the winter and the first outsiders to come in contact with the natives are officer, and men of the coast guard service, many cf whom make a regular business of collecting curi0s for Outside dealers

FRIDAYS WRESTLING MATCH
 WAS SOMETHING OF A FIZZLE

The wrestling match scheduled 10 take place at A. B. hall on Friday of last week between Hiyeda, the Japanese athlete, and George Fey, turned out to be rank fizzle. There seems to have been bad blood be tween the contestants, and in arranging the rlles il was agreed that the contest should hinge on one fall fall to be called when one or the other cried enough. Any and all holds were in order By prearrangement it was understood that in case the one de string to quit could not Use his voice he should tap with one hand on the floor.
 The match was of short duration. Fey early in the game secured q two-handed hold on the neck of the Japanese, which did not seem to inconvenience him much. and in few minutes the Japanese Tipped Fey to the floor and secured a strangle hold. Unable 10 speak, as his wind was shut off, Fey beat a tattoo with both hands on the floor, fear ing that the Jap might overlook the signal if he used but one hand
 The match concluded so suddenly that the audience had not yet assembled George Marsh paid his admission fee just in time to hear the referee decide the contest. He was not ln time to witness the wrestling"
 The performances of the little Japanese have caused 2 great deal of sporting talk, and attempts have been made to arrange other matches for him, but without sue cess. The latest aspirant for honors on the mat was Bob Cockburn, who posted a for felt of $50 for match with Hlyeda for $500 side When it came to arranging the terms of the match, however, Bob in troduced some conditions relating to holds which probably had never been heard of anywhere outside of Newcastle-on Tyne, and the little brown man refused to play against game he did not know

Coal Mines Already in Operation

Captain J. A. Herbert, who arrived at Seward on September 3, was the hrSt man to secure lease of coal lands from the government in Alaska Already he has taken out more than three thousand tons of coal from his leased property at Blutt Point twelve miles from Seldovla. The output has been scld 10 Anchorage, steam CTS. the cannerles, and soon will be on sale in Seward The coal IS Ignite, and the en- gineer of the Panama steamer Slnaloa, who tested it and bought l07 tons, sad It was about the finest coal he ever used for steaming purposes. The veins crop out from bluff right over the beach, and tunnel has been driven 300 feet into the solid coal. so that in future the sort of coal taken out will be far better than the coal from the surface The government at An chorage has used large quantity, and IS so we'll pleased that the steamer Tyonlc IS continuing to haul 1t every day to the new railroad city The mine has capacity of forty tons daily, but this capacity easily can be increased, and Captain Herbert has in sight enough coal for years. The coal shipped previously from the surface was not so good as the quality now being mined. The present output IS so clean that han ding it does not even soil the fingers. It IS therefore, Captain Herbert says also ideal for domestic purposes. The captain IS on his way to Seattle, and will be able to let the world know that the coal which has so long been tied up by the government IS ready to aid in the territory's development, says the Gateway
