Kump. In 1916 they moved to Wiscon-

county, three miles southwest of Rock

able citizen, until the troubles of adj
vancing age made him retire from the

suddenly. A wife, four children. thir-

BROOKS, Alaska, Sept. 9.-One year ago today the first prospecting boiler was landed in the Tolovana section but so rapid has been the development of the new camp that the output this year will reach fully sixty thousand. When it is remembered that the gold output of the Fairbanks strike in 1903 was less
 than forty thousand, the value of this latest find become apparent.
 At the present time the camp has the earmarks of developing. into one of Alaska's largest camps. The popu- Ilatlon al the present time is between four and five thousand and is being daily swelled by an influx of miners, prospectors and business men from every section of the territory.

 NOT VALID

!. JUNEAU, Sept. 10-That the last legislature had no authority to reduce the crime of selling liquor to Indians from a felony to a misdemeanor, is the text of a decision rendered by Judge Jennings during the trial of case at Ketchikan yesterday in which the con- tention was raised that the late legis- lature had exceeded it's powers in af- fecting the mentioned change.
 The court held that the action of the legislature was not warranted under the provisions of the enabling act. The ruling does not cover the giving of liquor to Indians however. The judge stated that there is a difference in re- spect to that section of the law but that the question was not involved in the case before the bar

The dispatches state that the center of the last great battle was along the front west and south of the city of Trembowla and extended over d thirty mile front.
 The Slavs seem to have been uni formly successful throughout the week and have taken over seven thousand prisoners including one hundred and fifty officers several of whom are of high rank. The second great victory of the Slavs is accepted as an indica- i.tDn Of a renewal of the offensive along the entire eastern front within a short period.

KR|STAN CHILDREN HAVE NARROW
 ESCAPE FROM INJURY

it as his opinion that the children were not injured.
 The considerable divergence of opin-
 ion as to whether the children were knocked down by the machine or not
 is somewhat difficult to fathom as the witnesses claim that they could hardly be mistaken. The driver of the car and MT Railson who was also in the car assert that they could not tell whether the little ones were struck or not. Both are emphatic in insisting that the wheels did not pass over the bodies of either of the children. While it seems clear that the driver of the car is not to blame for this particular mis- hap it were well that the drivers of auto cars generally should exercise greater caution in passing around cor ners even at a low rate of speed. To even the superficial observer it is ap- parent that many of the local drivers are palpably careless in this respect and cars driven at a considerable rate of speed while passing through the streets are frequently observed.
 The acident today had a most provi- dential ending but only the strictest caution on the part of the autoists will prevent some one being injured at some future time. One particularly observa- ble feature in the handling of many of the local cars is that the drivers are seeming indifferent about sounding their horn, particularly when rounding corners. While there are doubtless few of us who enjoy the sound of those instruments, the drivers can neverthe- less win the approbation of the public | by using them with great frequency when the right of way is not clear.
