UNKNOWN MAN
 MURDERS MINER
NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR ACT
Murderer Is Killed a Minute Later by Brother of Murdered Man, in Front of Their Cabin, Where the Shoot ing Occurred-Self Defense.

Peter Lorenzen, well known resi- dent of Juneau, was shot at his min ing claims at Gold Creek, seven miles north of William Henry Bay, last Sunday, by an unknown man, who in turn was killed by Harry Lorenzen. The latter then went to Jualin and gave himself up to the officials.
 The story of the killing, as reveal ed by the testimony before the coro- ner's jury at Juneau last Monday, shows that the slayer of Peter Loren zen first appeared at their cabin on Friday night, never having been seen before by either of the Lorenzens. He stayed with them until g o'clock that evening, but refused their invi- tation to stay all night.
 While following their trap line on Saturday the Lorenzen boys met the man again on the beach in the pour ing rain and he then told them he was going to walk to Juneau and would write to them from there. They thought at the time that he was queer but did not pay any particular atten- tion to him.
 On Sunday, Harry Lorenzen was working in a small garden near the house and Peter was inside shaving. Harry saw the man leaving the beach to enter the house and second later heard a shot. He ran around to the rear of the house and looked in. Pe- ter was lying on the floor dead. He watched the man leave the house and go to a nearby creek.
 Harry stepped inside the cabin and secured his gun. AS he turned to- wards the door again, the other man appeared with his gun pointed to- wards him.
 Harry Lorenzen shot once and then as his rife was unreliable, slammed the door shut and threw another shell into the gun. He then threw the door open and found the man standing directly in front of it with his gun raised and his finger on the trigger. Lorenzer fired and the man fell.
 Pictures of the scene taken by the coroner and the shells from the gun were introduced as evidence. The stranger used a 30 U. s. Winchester. and an empty shell from that gun was found on the floor of the cabin where he had stood when he killed Peter. The two shells from the 303 Savage, which was the gun used by Lorenzen were found near the door of the cab in.
 The jury returned a verdict that Peter Lorenzen met death from rifle shot wound inflicted by party whose identity was not fully established and that the unidentified man in turn met death from a rifle shot wound infiict- ed by Harry Lorenzen, who acted in self defense.
 The unknown man was partially identified as Al Huffman, from Wind ham bay, but the identification was not complete.

OUR MEXICAN POLICY

The tentative agreement reported to have been reached by Gen. Hugh Scott, representing the United States, and General Obregon, representing Carranza, providing for the gradual retirement of the American expedi- tion in Mexico means that if the pro- posal is ratified by the two govern ments the presidents foray in search of Villa is practically at an end, in spite of the fact that Villa, wounded or unwounded, dead or living, has not been taken dead or alive.'
 In connection with our Mexican Policy Samual G. Blythe, keen ob- server and seasoned writer, has con- tributed an interesting article to the Saturday Evening Post of recent date. MT. Blythe is not unfriendly to Pres ident Wilson; in fact, he has been suspected of being generally sympa- thetic with his policies. Yet in his latest article on the Mexican situa- tion he takes emphatic issue with the president, and going farther than any other writers in the national maga- zines, advocates intervention or what amounts to intervention.
 MT. Blythe's opinion is that Car ranza's tenure of chieftainship in Mexico is certain to the short-lived. The "pompous" first chief, he asserts, exists as such only by sufferance of Obregon, who controls the army. His power is waning, his fiat money is almost worthless and he is unable to obtain credit.
 : The only solution that presents it. self to MT. Blythe is for the United States to take an active hand in Mexico-to set up commission com posed of the ablest and most honest Mexicans available and set that com- mission at work, supported by this country to the extent of intervention if necessary. He asserts the presi- dents idealistic views of Mexico are awry; that Washington apparently does not appreciate the fact that all the Mexican factions are "tarred with the same stick" nor the further fact that the Mexican question has become an economic or financial question. He asserts, too, that the border ad- vocates of intervention are not plot ting" as the president charges, but are waiting for November in the hope that Republican president will be elected.
 If the American people are inter- ested in Mexico," he declares, they may as we'll set it down that until the

 The article is so forceful that it is we'll worth reading by opponents as well as advocates of intervention.

JAKE. THE TRAVELLED COAT.

There was once" began Daddy, "a
little Coat who wanted to see the
world"
What is a Coat. Daddy?" asked
Nick. "An animal. person or thing?"
"Yes. what Is It. do tell US Daddy"
said Nancy.
II don't suppose l could tell you the
story unless l told you what q Coat is
could I! Well. as l can see you don't
want to wait long to find out what a
Coat is. l shall have to tell you right
of.
First of all it's an animal. It's more
like a Raccoon than any other animal
We know about-but 1t has a long. long
tail which 1t Is very proud Of. The
Coati families always live in far-off
countries where we never 60.
But one time Sailors. of q big ship.
went on land-near where their ship
was lying in stream for a few days.
The Sailors had gone for a long, long
trip in this ship to visit all the strange
parts Of the world.
well, OF course, they saw the Coat
families. Just lots and lots of them
hey saw all around. and one little
Coat followed one of the Sailors and
seemed to be very devoted to him.
Everywhere the Sailor went the Coat
followed and whatever the Sailor gave
him to eat-he swallowed it whole, at
once! =.
Nov the rest OF the Coats did not
seem to be surprised at the little
Coati's devotion to the Sailor and I
suppose 1t was because they had al.
ways known that this little Coati-
whose name was Jake-was very anx-
ious to see the world and go for a long
trip. !,
And all THO devotion really meant q
great big hint for an invitation to 90
where the ship did. And the Sailor
finally seemed to understand and took
the Coat off with him. For three
years he took trips on the big ship
and stopped of at all sorts of places.
He was made a great pet of on board

bodice is given q jacket effect by
pieces at each side set. on at the waist
line under the ornaments of silver
traid. They form. with the back and
front, q short peplum.
The collar and cuffs are Of white
chiffon edged with bias bands of the
striped silk. There is an odd and orig
inal feature in the shaped rufle of silk
set on at the elbows.
This gown suggests a practical way
for remodeling a silk dress that is too
Anticipated in style to be worn without
altering. Four yards Of chiffon or
seorgette crepe will make the under
bodice and short skirt that serve as
the foundation. Where the amount of
silk is not sufficient to make two
flounces one flounce may be set on to
the short chiffon skirt without gather
ing. In this case the upper edge Of
the silk tiounce is cut into shallow
tabs, or battlement pattern, bound
with siik-covered cord and stitched to
the chiffon. The skirt of the. old gown
IS converted Into 1ounce for the
new one. Out Of. the bodice and
sleeves the silk for draping the new
bodice of chiffon is supplied.

"ln His Dreams He Heard Them"
the ship and all the Sailors were very
fond of. him.
"Of course Jake was the easiest ami
NAL in the world to feed. He liked alb
solutely everything. 1t didn't matter
what they gave him, he always seemed
to think 1t delicious. And no matter
how much he ate he seemed to al
ways be in the best of health.
But after q time he got homesick
and he didn't know what to do. He
really felt very badly as he hadn't seen
any of his family for three years. One
night, after all the Sailors had gone
to bed-he wept just a little bit all by
himself.
"And then a Gnome came along and
a little Brownie-by this time the
Coat had fallen asleep. And in his
dreams he heard them say that they
would whisper to the Sailors to 60
back to the Coat land-to look for
other interesting discoveries.
And ure enough the Gnome and
the Brownie did this, and before an.
other week was I've the ship was way
out in the big ocean again going fast
toward the home of the little Coat.
Whey they reached Jake's home
all his family came rushing out to see
him and the Sailors then knew that
Jake was glad to be back. Many Of
his sisters and brothers had grown up
to be so large. As for Jake, they all
thought he was wonderful, and they
admired their fine Coat SO much. They
thought. he was so travelled and wise.
"Of course the Sailors knew that
the Coat wanted to stay home. so they
didn't try to take him of again. And
how grateful the Coat was to the
Brownie and Gnome who had arranged
his return home! But, 10 and behold,
another brother Of Jake's went along
on the next trip al he wanted to see
the world tool"
