MAN PAYS PENALTY FOR HIS CRIME
 BY HANGING
Had Shot and Killed Sheriff In A Running Fight On July
 IF, 1916.

BATON ROUGE, Louisanan, OctO- Der 19-Hilaire Carriere was hanged this morning in accordance with the verdict of the jury and the decree of the court
 Carriere, who bore the reputation of dead shot" and bad man," was con- victed and sentenced to death for the murder of Marion L. Swords, sheriff of St. Landry parish, on July F, 1916. The sheriff was shot and killed when he and posse attempted to recapture Carriere who had escaped from jail at Jennings where he was held on the charge of killing a negro.
 After killing the sheriff Carriere succeeded in remaining at liberty for month, although pursued by posses through canebrakes and swamps and was captured only after he had been severely wounded. He was tried and found guilty of murder the following October The state supreme court affirmed the verdict and Governor Pleasants set October 19 as the date for the execution.
 The case attracted widespread at tention throughout Louisiana and ghboring states because of the prominence of Sheriff Swords, one of the states leading democrats, and be- cause of Carriere's reputation as a "bad man." The latter had served two terms in the penitentiary for steal nig and for receiving stolen property. Sheriff Swords had befriended him on several occasions and when captured Carriere expressed regret that he had killed him, saying he would not have done so if Swords had not taken ne groes to help capture him.
 The sheriff accompanied by a deputy three citizens and three negro guides, surrounded Carriere in cabin just at dawn after residents of the Mallet woods had informed him that the fug- itive was terrorizing the neighborhood. Carriere fled into a cornfield, carry ing a rife, and was closely pursued by the sheriff and his deputy. In a running fight the deputy and two guides were wounded and the sheriff shot thru the heart Carrier escaped unwounded.
 A month later Carriere was brought to bay in an abandoned sawmill near Basile, La., sixty miles away and was captured with more than 20 buckshot wounds in his body.

Sharke expects to remain
 in Ketchikan all winter, tending to the needs of the school, as Janitor, but Mrs. Sharke will leave next month for Seattle where she will spend the win ter. Mr. Sharke will join her next spring at the close of school and they will make their home on their ranch near Bellingham, which MT. Sharke bought on a recent trip south.

VALDEZ, Oct 13.-Charles Came. ron, an old-timer in this section, and for several years past miner and prospector in the Port Wells section, where he has some very promising quartz claims, was a passenger for the States on Monday on the steamer Alameda, and will probably spend the remainder of his life in the employ of the Great Northern railroad.
 While at work on his claims recent. ly MT. Cameron received letter from Louis Hill, president of the Great Nor thern railroad stating that there was a considerable sum of money due him (Cameron) from pension granted by the railroad to it's employees, and that the officials of the road had been look just got track of his whereabouts. The letter also stated that if Cameron would come back he would be given a position as gate tender, or some sim liar position where the work would not be too heavy for man of his years and that the position would last as long as he lived. MT. Cameron out his affairs here and left at once for St. Paul, where he will collect his pension and take the posi- tion offered.
 MT. Cameron worked for the Great Northern road for a number of years before coming to Alaska, resigning to come north in search of gold. He has some good prospects here, but lack of ready money has prevented him from developing this ground on a large scale.-Valdez Miner.

City Engineer Refuses to
Explain Resignation;
Mayor Opposes Brown

City Engineer John T. Brady sub
mitted his resignation to the council
this afternoon and 1t was accepted.
Horace a. Brown; superintendsnt al
the water works, was appointed city
engineer in addition to his duties at
the power plant. Mayor Leeny voted
against Mr.. Browns appointment.
Mr.. Brady's resignation came as a
surprise to the commissioners. He re-
fused to explain his action. though he
said he had many reasons for resign
ing. Commissioners Phillips and Men
efee said that if Mr.. Brady does not
make statement to the public that
they will. intimating that the engineer
had been hampered in performing his
duties.
Mr.. Brown will receive salary of
$500 year. Mr.. Brady has been
drawing $500 year as engineer and
Mr.. Brown $2,700 as superintendent Of
the water works. This viii mean a
raise of $500 per year for Mr.. Brown
but reduction by $500 year in the
salary budget.
Mayor Leeny objected to the ap.
pointment of Mr.. Brown on the
grounds that no other public Official is
receiving such high salary.
1.-THE fire department works twenty.

hours. If the pay roll is to be padded

LABOR RULES
LAND, CHARGE
SHERMAN AssAILs ADMiNIsTRA-
TIoN IN HEATED SPEECH ON
FOOD BILL.

Washington, D. c., June 21.--When
the senate took up the food bill today
Senator Sherman led of in opposition
to the bill with the charge that the bill
Is especially aimed at farmers. City
dwellers and labor unions, he declared
are its principal advocates.
"The senate and house will pass any
thing that any labor union endorses
and endeavors to thrust upon them,
right or wrong" he shouted. Organ.
lied labor controls legislation In this
administration and the last. 1t dictates
to senator's, while the farmers are un.
organized"
Senator Sherman said he would vote
for legislation to prohibit manufacture
Of foodstuffs into intoxicating bev.
erages, but would vote against the bill
unless its blanket powers are elm
mated.
The bill probably will pass the
house Saturday, but when 1t will go
through the senate Is uncertain, al
though the general belief at the cap
ital today was that its enactment
would be accomplished within two or
three weeks.
This belief is predicated on the fact
that opponents Of the legislation are
to hear from their consti-
tuents.
The bill may even be finally enacted
by July 1, as urgently requested by
President Wilson, according to Sena
tor Chamberlain who is plotting the
through the senate.
