KINGSTON Is ACQUITTED
 BY THE GRAND JURY
Continued from page 1D

Continued from page 1') stating that the charge against Kingston was thrown out by the grand jury.
 Jimmy Kingston was well known here, and was a member of two of the Dawson fraternal organizations, both of which took active steps in seeing that he was provided with means for a fair trial. Both of Kingston's brothers, Jack and Will liam, also were active, and went to Valdez and worked indefatlgably gathering evidence with which they were prepared should the grand jury have brought in a true bill.
 Jimmy Kingston was exceptionally well known in Dawson. In preDar- ing evidence for use in valdez, Maurice Panet, barrister of this city, handled the case, Other evidence was gathered in Chisana and elsewhere through Diamond x Co.,, lawyers of Valdez. During the winter Jack Kingston and special deputy searched the Chisana camp for evidence, and succeeded in find ing Jimmy's rifle, which he report ed he had lost far down the ChiS- ana while hunting, and which was essential in establishing his inno- ceuce. The rifle was found whero he reported, but not until after Jack aud the other man had worked faithfully for many days shoveliug out the snow at the various camps on the traiL

gave way, and huge volumes of water came tearing down the noun taiu side, swelling the water of Knik river until the whole country tributary to the mouth of the river was submerged, drowning nearly all Of the Indians camped in the flat below. Since that time the Indians have kept an eye on the glacier, ex- pecting that at any time another break would occur. But until this year, as far as it can be learned, the glacier has held the waters of the lake and no floods of any con- sequence have occurred.
 About two weeks ago an Indian came down from the lake and i'm mediately warned those living in the neighborhood of old Knik to leave the flat, as the glacier was expected to break at any moment and cause much damage. The Peo- pie living in that vicinity, having heard before an account of the-dan- ger, stood not on the order of going but "got." And none too soon, for on Sunday morning, it Is re- ported the side of the glacier gave way and oceans of water came sweeping down into the valley be- low.
 The flood was not nearly so great as reported to have been be- fore, but severe enough, however, to wash away a number of piles said to have been ready to put in the railroad bridge and had the people not taken the advice of the Indian many lives would probably have been lost. As it is, no par ticular damage was done.
 Several men who have been up to this lake state that further trouble from this source can be ayerted by simply shooing out a portion of this glacier, which probably will be done before there is danger of an- other break.-Ancborage Pioneer

Some Stevenson ReoOIIocsions.

Mir. Standardization. in Sailor and BeachComber" makes several refer enccs to Robert Louis Stevenson, whom he saw on different occasions In Samoa. In one place he Writes:
 "Stevenson wIS one of those men with a keen face that made you feel q bit rcticCnt until he spoke, and then you discovered q human note ln the voice that put you thoroughly ut your ease, and as he spoke to a German sailor he picked up my violin and start ed to try and play some old folk mel ody. ." He seemed fond of look ing over the ships side. gazing out to sea, and up at the stars. He was very friendly with all the sailors. went into the fo'cstle, talked to tue crew and was greatly interested ia ship life"
 In another place he says.
 "If I had seen aud spoken to R. L.. S. without knowing who be was I should have thought he was a skipper or mate of some American or English ship. His manner was eGSy-in fact, almost rOlicking at times"

Fern lust, Fern dust for sale'' He sold Us each q pa.lSul To sprinkle in our shcc. We paid him for It, gladly, With a bunch of meadow rue, And then We heard a rustling, 4 whispering in the breeze, And the laughter of the fairies Who danced beneath the trees. We bitter battered homeward, And my, but we felt queer! For not a soul could see us And not q soul could hear, As, fairy-like, We ripped 1t, And scarcely touched the ground The magic fern dust hid us And stilled the smallest sound. But when we woke next morning, The fern dust all had gone; Had vanished with the fairies 70 In the misty light of dawn, But we shall find that elf man With his tiny, shiny pail, For we'll hear him singing, Fern dust, Fern dust for sale!'

Scappoose, Oregon" Eczema started on one of my fingers of the right hand with just one little plmplo. It itChed so terribly and soon began to spread and tho itching kept getting worse. did not know what 1t was until 1t got so bad and spread to the other hand. l could not do my regular housework for I could not put my hands in water. Besides being so very painful and causing them to itch worse it made tho eruption worse. It first started with small water blisters, then formed eruptlons which became scaly. Theitchlng and burning were so intense scratched these scales off which only made them deeper and caused 1t to spread. The breaking out was very un- slightly.

less. Only send in an application to
the Society and it will provide any
family with children that is worthy of
them.
The Society has been fortunate
enough to place several children in
good homes in Valley County, where
such children have been loved and
cared for as though they were their
very own. Aside from this system
of caring for children, being the very
best for the child, it is attended with
the very least possible expense, for
instead of keeping the children in the
Home they are placed with people who
really want them to love and care
for. Noble minded men and women
of Montana regard this Society as
performing the very noblest work
along the line of Christian philanthro-
Ply. 1t not only breaches the gospel
of the truest and best benevolence,

is that his herd is one of the best
