INDIAN SLAYER
 IS CAPTURED
Murder of Indian at Talkeetna Lake Followed by Suicide of His
 Wife

Deputy L. s. Marshal Casler, with an Indian known as Talkeetna or knik Nicholai, passed through on the Ad- miral Evans yesterday on route to Valdez, where the Indian will be held for the next grand jury on charge of murder,
 Nicholai is charged with killing his cousins husband near Talkeetna Lake 100 miles from Talkeetna. After the murder the woman killed herself. The crime was investigated by Deputy U. s. Marshal w. H. Healey of Talkeet- ma. He left Talkeetna on July ', 1917, accombanied by J. c. Kennedy, as a packer, two Indian guides, and three horses. He made his way north to Gold creek, distance 4l miles. He left the mouth of Gold creek on the morn ing of July 9th and deeming it unwise to take horses further, the party put packs on their backs and "treked' in a southerly and westerly course, cross ing the headwaters of Gold and Clear creeks and on to a section of country lying between these latter and towards the headwaters of the Talkeetna river, called by the Indians "Stepan lake, but known also as Talkeetna lake. The Indians for many years considered this lake an ideal summer camping place. To this lake had gone, sometime in mid-June, 1917, it would appear, In dian Stepan, his wife, their son and daughter, and the accused murderer he being a cousin of Stepan's wife. After the murder, the Indian gath cred up the personal belongings of the old Indian and his wife, placed these in a pile and then set them afre. In raking about this fire, the marshal found a thermos bottle, some beans, threaded needles, a waist and part of dress, all belonging to the dead wo- man. Also a pair of muclucs-a field glass, a watch, all belonging to the murdered Indian, all more or less scorched by fire. A fve-gallon keg wherein the "hootch" had been made, was found in the brush about 150 feet from the camp.
 The bodies after being eXhumed were very closely examined and cas- ily identified. The examination proved to be a terrible ordeal. The Indians in the marshal's posse would not go near the corpses, even to look upon them.

CLOSED SEASON
 FOR HALIBUT
Canadians Now Considering Value of Protecting Food Fish-May Act
 With United States

Regarding the question of closed season being applied to halibut fish ing, the following from recent is sue of the Vancouver Province may be of interest:
 "Halibut fishing companies here ex- pect that the Canadian and American governments will shortly reach an agreement for a close season on the hailbut banks of the Pacific Coast to cover two or three months each year, and to run for an extended term of years. It has been proposed that De- cember, January and February be the close season months, and there is a possibility still somewhat indefinite that the restrictions upon halibut fish ing will go into effect this year.
 Representations have been made to Ottawa by the fishing companies talk ing halibut, asking for a close sea son in order to protect the industry. American companies also approached Washington. The United States gov ernment has already announced its willingness to comply with the request provided that Canada would do the same. At Ottawa the department showed some desire to set close sea- son which would cover two or three years and would vary to the different halibut banks. The halibut interests promptly objected, however, on the score that the industry would be dis rupted and with varying seasons on the banks halibut fishing could not be economically carried out. Up to the present the Dominion department has not yet taken any definite action, but it is expected will fall into line with Washington's proposal.

f. Il. DOOLITTLE
 PASSES OVER
End Comes Suddenly for Well-known Resident of Seward-Came
 North In 1897

Frank Fl. DooGttle, aged 52, pioneer Alaskan and well known as a contrac- tor and builder, who has been here for the past four years, died suddenly at s o'clock this morning from heart failure following a severe attack of bronchitis.
 Dooittle was born in Detroit, Mich igan. and came to Alaska in 1897 on the cay e sae K'ondike via the Nu- kon. but the boat on which he started up the river was wrecked and he spent the winter at St. Michael, where he entered the employ of the A. C. Com pany as a constructor. Later, he went to Nome and was there until the Shu- shanna stampede, after which he came to Seward and has resided here ever since.
 He leaves a wife, a sister of Mrs. Gus Borgen, who is now in Korea travelling with friends, and son at Virginia City, Nevada. His parents are also living and reside at Holly wood near Los Angeles, Cale and a half brother, Will Doolittle, also re siding in Los Angeles.
 Although he has been i'll since last March, Doolittle'S decline was rapid toward the end and death came sooner than was expected. He lived next door to the Borgens and Miss Emily went in this morning to inquire as to his health and found him suffering severely. She went at once for the doctor but by the time they returned he was dead. Gus Borgen is making arrangements for the funeral and has notified the relatives outside. Services will be conducted at Pioneer Hall at 2:30 Sunday afternoon.

OLD GLORY FLIES ON
 HARVESTING MACHINE

BELLEVILLE, III, July 12, (Mail Correspondence). e).-While reaping the grain crops of St. Clair County, as an aid in feeding Uncle Sam's troops in France, farmers are displaying their patriotism by flying the Stars and Stripes on tractor, binder and reaper.
 Ed Helms, a Turkey Hill farmer who has equipped every implement on his large farm with an American flag, said:
 "More reason to fly the flag from a reaper than from an automobile. The farmers are now doing their bit and are showing their patriotism while doing so."
