MuSHERBABE
FINDS CITY A
HARD PLACE

The first man, Constable Multi
gan encountered when he arrived.
fresh from Ireland. in Seattle, 20
years ago. was Babe the Musher.
Babe the Musher--so called be-
cause he stood six feet In his stock
ings and was musher--showed
the raw immigrant the sights OF the
town. Among other things he
showed Mulligan the courthouse
and old Judge Humes on the bench.
Mulligan was so green he wanted
TO know why Judge Humes wasn't
wearing his wig. Judges wear
wigs In the old country.
Babe the Musher. whose real
name is Charles Livingston. went
TO Alaska Mulligan went into poll
tics. They didn't see each other
for 20 years.
After 20 years Babe the Musher
returned TO Seattle, only the other
day. He had a pocketful Of money
when he got here. But he didn't
have II long. Everybody trimmed
him. And all the old familiar land
marks were gone. And the town
was so noisy IL got on his nerves.
And he was homesick for the
North. And
Just by accident he ran into Null
ligan. They remembered the meet
ing 20 years before. The Babe
was busted. He did a weak and
wicked thing. He persuaded Null
ligan to cash a forged check. He
knew IL was wrong, but he was
busted, and homesick. and he knew
n he could get to Vancouver.
Wash, he could get plenty OF
money from an old sourdough
friend--if he could find him
SO the Babe did the wicked thing
Mulligan syore out warrant
Deputy Sheriff Scott Malone went
TO Vancouver and brought the Babe
back to Seattle.
And now he occupies a cell In
the basement OF the courthouse
which he visited with Mulligan 90
years ago.
