these in the nearby cemetery, This

head ana you tread on a luXurlant

unacquaintcd with the mildness of an
Alaskan summer. Here are many

kind of totem. Many are covered
with wooden boxes, others have fences
and roofs like summer houses. ON

The train was stopped in a deep
cut that ran through a dense forest
The spot chosen was an ideal one for
a hold up. AS the train came to
stand-still the yeeGs attacked the mail
cars and ordered the messenger and
mail clerks to leave the cars and line
up on the side Of the road. Instead
the clerks opened the doors of their
cars sufficiently wide to stick the muz-
zles of their rifles through and then
followed a fusilade which caught the

flew as thick as hail
BY rare good luck the shots Of the
yegCs flew wide of their mark and
aside from a few minor injuries tho
train crew escaped. The ycggmcn
