NEGRO SHOT
TO DEATH


Paducah, KY, Jan. 15.-The mys-
terious murder of Pedro Mohundro,
a negro tenant on farm owned by
Herbert Rudolph, about four miles
from Lovelaceville, in Ballard coun-
ty, Tuesday right, is being investi-
gated by the authorities of that
county. Mohundro was poking a
fire in the CRATE at his home when
shot from the attic. Several shots
followed in rapid succession and the
negro staggered to bed, across
which he fell and died. Mohundro's s
wife was asleep in the same room,
but said she did not see anybody and
did not know who fired the shots.
ALI surrounding telephone wires had
been cut.
Several persons are believed to
have been implicated in the crime.
Bloodhounds were secured from
Cairo, ILL.,, but they failed to get the
trail. Mohundro had been warned
twice in notes to leave the section in
which he was living, but was advised
by his landlord to remain. The ne
gro had been a resident on Rudolph's
farm since the latter part of last
December and was said to have been
a peaceful citizen. He is survived
by his wife and nine children.

The new range and other equipment of the Domestic Science department will make this an easy proposition.

The po- lice were immediately informed of the affair and at once arrested Co., gaff, disarmed him, took him tS the barracks and placed him in jail to await investigation.

SAYS HE IS SKAGWAY BOOSTER
 FROM BEGINNING UNTIL THE END

The following extract from a let ter recently received from Andrew Stevenson, who spent last summer In Skagway as the guest of his cousin, Col. W. l.. stevenson, from his home in Lake Bluff, Ills, shows what hold Alaska in general and Skagway in particular gets on those who look for the best that this life affords and who are able to see the great possibilities that lay in store for us:
 "Skagway stands out in my mind as having great possibilities In spite of the attitude of Bome who speak constantly of its glorious past. From my traffic experience and from a direct knowledge of the developments ia central Alaska, l cannot see anything but benefit to Skagway in the future upbuilding of the territory. So I want you to know tha. am a Skagway Booster from beginning to end and that l am hoping to have Bome small part in it's development and progress In the years to come.
 T am looking forward to short trip to Alaska again this winter bu in any event I am planning to spend next summer in or near Skag- way. In the meantime hope may keep in touch with you and when you have a moment or two won't you be good enough to drop me & liner"

Lying helpless and partially par alyzed for thirty days, with only ex- ternal medical help, has been the experience of Mangus Lindquist, a miner of the Mayo district, on the upper reaches of the Stewart river, who, on August S1st while ground sluicing a channel on his claim for q self-dumping scraper, was caught by a caYe-in and so badly crushed that his life was at first despaired of.
 The injureed mans brother, Ole LindIuist, was at the mine at the time of the accident and at once started with him to Dawson, where he was placed in the St. Mary's hos pital. 4 diagnosis Of the injuries by the physician in charge showed that tho right hip had been dtslo- cated and the hip bone fractured, also that the pelvic bone had been broken. In addition to which ther was a partial paralysis of the right arm, occasioned by the sharp point of a pick entering near the elbow joint. Under the circumstances it was decided not to undertake the operatioa which will be necessary, but to send the sufferer to the out side where he can receive proper attention for the difficult surgical fear that will be required.
 The LindQuiSt brothers arrived in Skagway last night and the injured one was taken to the White Pass hospital, where al examination by Dr. Cable confirmed the Dawson physicians opinion as well as the measures to be 'aken for his re- lief. Trev will leave on the Prin-

Tomorrow being the first Friday i'll the month, the Parent-Teacher Association is due to meet at S:OO p. m. in the assembly room at the school house.
 The object of the association is the same this yelr as it was last year and as it should be in all it's years, 1. e., for teacher and parent, for school and home to work to- gether for the best interests of the child.
 A child's waking hours during the school year being almost equal ly divided between these two insti- tutions, there should be a close re- lation between them. The parent needs the teachers point of view and the teacher needs the parents. At the root of things, both are working for the same object-the formation of character in the child.

killed, Henry Cook, another section hand, badly wounded, and the last member of the crew of five, A. Wilkinson, missing.
 Henry Cook, the wounded man, was placed on the handcar and brought to the general hospital here Upon an examination of his injuries by Dr. Clark 1t was discovered that he had fearful looking wound in his side, the bullet coming out at his hip. There are but small hopes of his recovery.
 Wilkinson, the missing section man, was later found in the woods some distance from the track by a search party that was sent out to look for him. His fin't inquiry when discovered in his hiding place, was as to whether the Russian had been arrested. He said that he had had very naTrow escape from death himself, as the murderer had fired at him when he made dash into the brush, missing him by a very narrow margin.
 Gogaff worked OH the section here last winter and spring, but as he appeared to be mentally unbal- lanced was discharged and went out a short time ago.
