The 40 600 men who are now

experience and are not now IN ser

to train for an oli"rr berth IN the

DEATH OF FRANK HERSCHENBACK
Pioneer Resident Of Hurley Succumbs
to Cancer of the Stomach at Home
of His Daughter at ironwood.

Frank Hetschenback, a pioneer
resident of Hurley and one of our
most prominent citizens, passed
away about 10 O'Clock Monday
evening at the home of his daugh.
ter, Mrs. Fred Title, in Ironwood,
with whom he had resided the past
year.
For about two years he had heen
III with cancer of the stomach and
under doctors care, and it was
quite generally known that his ILL
ness was serious and would eventu.
ally prove fatal, hence the news of
his death came not unexpected,
He was hale and hearty until No
vember, 1918, when he made a trip
west to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Tony Bell At Seattle, and to look
after some property interests at
Butte, Mont. On the way west he
became IL. and following short
stay, returned east and stopped at
Rochester, Mimi. where he was
under the care of Drs. Mayo. He
returned to Hurley and then again
went to Rochester and was oper-
ated on, and subsequently made
four trips to Rochester; but his
illness was of such nature that il
could not be STAYED off, and it was
only through his sturdiness and
vitality that he was able to survive
the ravages of the malady for such
a length of time.
The deceased was born at Co
lOgne, Germany, in the year IS47.
When 81 years of age he came to
this country and located at Mime
apolis. Following a short stay
there he went to Ripp Falls. Wis.
and purchased a flower mill, later
going TO Wausau. In the year
1886 he came to Hurley, his atten-
tion having been attracted by the
stories of boom days in this mining
town. Shortly after his arrival
here he erected the present Mon
treal House and conducted a hotel
there for many years. He acquired
other property here and in other
parts of the country and became
substantially established in a finan
cial way.
The surviving relatives are three
daughters, Mrs. Tony Bell, of Sc
attle, Wash. Mrs. Fred Thiele, of
Ironwood, and Mrs. James Collins,
of Hurley.
Another daughter, Mrs. George
Grabig, passed away about two
years ago. His wife died here IL
years ago this month,
The funeral was held yesterday
morning from St. Mary's church
with burial in the local cemetery.
The deceased was a member of
the local lodges of the Catholic Or
der of Foresters and OF the Catbo-
lie Knights of Wisconsin.

 VISITS ALASKA FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS

George A. Bracket, known to AL askans as the builder of the wagon road from Skagway to the Canadian line on the White Pass. a former Mayor of Minneapolis, and for many years prominent in politics and bus mess in Minnesota, wss round trip passenger to Alaska last week on the Princess Sophia. He aassed through Juneau so quietly that only a few of his old time friends knew of his presence in the city. Judge Robert w. Jennings, who was his attorney at Skagway was a pas senger on the same vessel with MT. Bracket on the sOuthbound trip.
 MT Bracket spent seven years in Skagway and Atlin. His first en- terprise was the building and opera tion of the Bracket wagon road, which he sold out to the White Pass railroad He then became in- terested in mining, and finally sold his mining interests. With a com fortable stake he returned to Min neapOlis where he has since lived. though every year or two he visits relatives at Seattle and other West ern points.

SELECT|vE DRAFT CATCHES MANY
 FILM STARS
Several Claim Exemption but Others Will Be at the Front Soon
 No Doubt.
LOCAL MOVIE PROGRAMS

Considering the number of men from the motion picture industry registered for the selective draft. the result was really astonishing in the way it avoid ed the Los Angeles studio colony. How ever, the colony was not altogether ne- giected and many of the boys will have to leave the camera and shoulder a gun for some time to come.
 One of the very first to be drafted was Wallace Reid of the Lasky Com pany. He will claim exemption be- cause of his wife and child. The ob- taining of this exemption may be diffi- cult owing to the fact that his wife. professionally known as Dorothy Dav- export, may be adjudged as capable of supporting herself and child
 Tom Forman and Lucien Littlefeld of the same studio were drafted, but had already enlisted, Forman in the Coast Artillery and Littlefield in the Ambulance Corps in France.
 Victor Fleming was the only one at the Douglas Fairbanks plant to be called and will claim no exemption.
 George Walsh of the Fox company was among the early ones on the list. His wife, Seena Owen. who has been playing opposite him, was taken sick and sent to a sanitarium the same day. Walsh will probably claim exemption. Victor Potel. known as Slippery Slim; Charles Parrot, comedy director, and Ralph Spence, scenario writer. were others at the Fox studio called for the first quota
 Jack Klyston, head of the L-Ko com edy staff: Jay Belasco of the Christie comedy company and James Harrison of the same organization were named.
 Charles Ray. the 1nce star; Lynn F. Reynolds. Triangle director; Pliny Goodfriend, husband of Mary Ander- son of the Vitagraph Company; William Franey. Milton Stills. Craig Hutchinson. Francis Mcdonald, George Marshall. Lloyd Whtiocll and J. Webster Dill of the Universal company were drawn.
 Charles Chaplin. Harold Lockwood and J. Warren Kerrigan were overlooked. Carlyle k. Robinson, Chaplin's press agent. was among those selected. howev- CT
