OUCH! TOURISTS WANTED TO SEE
 FIGHT IN CITY
Easterns on the Prince Rupert Given a Rude Shake-up of the
 Real Alaska.
JUNEAU MAN SHOWS FEM

and there are those in the Unit ed States and elsewhere who imag- inc that Alaska is still a place where only bad men with guns roam at large and where man S life isn't hardly worth a cent if he starts something.
 Such a party or parties were on board the Prince Rupert last night, tourists from the East At ketchi- kan, on the Fourth, these tourists were dee-lighted with Alaska, be- cause they happened to see several street fights. Again, at Wrangell, they were dee-lighted because a white man and a colored man were trying to puncture each others hides with bullets propelled from revolv- CTS at long range.
 But when these tourists arrived in Juneau their dee-light changed to something real
 Hardly had the Prince Rupert tied up when several of the tour ists gathered at the rail and asked if there would be "any good fight ing?"
 Wow! What a sumner for the average Juneauite.
 But Glenn Bartlett came right back
 You betcha. We can arrange several fights if you want to, but you better duck your heads, and koop in your ctotaroomc or vo,, u,ilI perhaps get a bullet in your bean Scoot!"
 One mothcrly old lady threw up her hands and implored that "there be peace at any cost" and then something happened
 Spirnging right into the breach one prominent Juneau man asked why fight was wanted and the ex- periences at Ketchikan and Wrang- ell were related.
 Listen, people, and will set you right" said the Juneau man.
 Do you know that we have nev- CT had any bad men to speak of in Alaska since the early days when one Soapy Smith tried to run Skag- way and paid for his trouble with his life?
 Do you know that right here in Juneau we raised over a dollar per capita for the Red Cross, all in one week and with no trouble?
 'Oh, we are bad here, we are!
 Do you know that women and children are safer in Alaska than in any part of the world and there is about one officer to every 1000 of the population?"
 The motherly old lady began to open her eyes.
 Do you know that many of the towns of Alaska are dry?
 Do you know that we have the best engineers in the world con- nected with the richest mines of the world right here and that wherever you go you see men of brains who are leaders in the com merce of the world?"
 The motherly old lady began to squint her eyes.
 Do you know that-"
 The motherly old lady had swoon- ed and she was carried to her state room.
 The other tourists gathered about the Juneau man and for half an hour he explained to them that Alaska was not place of dance halls and gambling dens, despite the hundreds of movie fillums shown throughout the country, depicting such scenes. He told them of the hne class of residents, the beautiful homes. the vast resources, etc., and 1t Is safe to say practically all of the tourists now have differcct

Mrs. Yaney at Paroquet

Mrs. G. w. Yaney of Paro-
quet raised this season on 1873
of one acre, $40 worth of oni-
ons at the market value of So
per bushel. On this basis, one
acre of land would produce

onions were grown on land adj
joining Paroquet, worth $35 to
$40 per acre at the prevailing
prices of land in that locality.
1t is said, that around Dav-
export, Iowa, the home of the
onion in that state famous for
its productive lands, yield OF
400 bushels per acre is consid-
cred good crop, on land that
Is worth $500 to $500 per acre.

anything that any other state
will produce and yet land is
cheaper in Arkansas than in
any other state in the Union.

CHESS KELLEY GETS
The ELECTRIC CHAIR
Newport Man Given Death
Penalty and Case Against
Zephy Minis Continued

Chess Kelley, who shot and
killed Herman Harmon, a
young automobile mechanic at
Newport on June 8, was found
guilty of murder in the first
degree by jury in the Jack
son Circuit court at Newport
Thursday afternoon and will
pay the penalty in the electric
chair
The cases of Zephy Minis
and Mabel Sherman, charged
with murder in the first degree
IN connection with the killing,
have been continued until the
next term of court.
The case attracted a great
deal of attention at the time of
the murder on account of the
popularity of the victim and
had it not been for the cooler
council of some of the citizens
there is no doubt but what the
perpetrator of the crime would
have been lynched. Harmon
was a member of Co. E. 3rd
Arkansas National Guard ana
was we'll liked by all who
knew him.
Sentenced was passed upon
Kelley Friday when Judge
Coleman sentenced him to
death in the electric chair on
January II.
Kelley stood the ordeal in
the same stocial mood that has
characterized his demeanor all
through his trial. The con-
victed man was taken to Little
Rock Friday afternoon, closely
guarded by Sheriff J. M. Ivy
and was placed in the death
cell at the state penitentiary to
await the date of his electro
cution.
