CONVICT WHO ESCAPED
 AT SKAGWAY ELUDES
 POSSES OUT SEARCHING

Vernon Bawlf, the convict who escaped from the Skagway jail last Tuesday night is still at large, according to the officers of the Princess Alice which sailed south bound this morning. Yesterday the man was found by the posse in a turnip patch. Several shots were taken at him, but he escaped in the brush.
 Bawlf at the time he was seen was still wearing the leg irons which were on him at the time of his escape, and as every avenue of escape is watched it is thought to be but matter of time until he is recaptured. Detective Har- vey Horton, who was in charge of the prisoner at the time of his escape, is directing the search for the man, with the assistance of Deputy Marshal J. M Miller and the Skagway police force.

MANY BOATS LINED UP.

This morning the Juneau water front presented a busy appearance with six boats lined up at the docks at one time. It has only been during this year that six boats could land alongside the docks at one time without lying two or three abreast. Since the ad- dition to the City Dock was erected and the completion of the Pacific Steamship Dock, the wharves of Juneau are amply able to care for a much larger fleet of boats at one time.
 This morning the Spokane was at the Alaska-Juneau dock, the AL Xxi at the City Dock, the Northwest ern in front of the Al-Ki at the City and Alaska Supply Company docks, the Princess Alice at the Pacific Steamship dock and be- hind her at the same dock the Pat terson, coast and geodetic survey ship

Charles G. Walter Dead.
Fell In Water And Drowned
Near Home.

The body of MIR. Charles G. Walter
was found about noon Monday of this
week in small stream of water running
through his farm in the vicinity of Mot
ter's station, by his son Mr.. William
Walter and an employe on the farm.
1t is stated that he had gone to the
stream to get some sand, and while at
the stream was stricken with paralysis,
fell in the water and was drowned.
Justice of the Peace Rob't E. Cadow,
of Thurmont, accompanied the under
taker, M. l.. Creager & Son, to the
Walter home and acted as coroner and
decided that an inquest was unnecessary,
a physician testifying that Mr.. Walter
had first been stricken with paralysis.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and one son, Mr.. William Walter, and by
the following brothers: Messrs. Robert
w., George M. and Bernard Walter, and
one sister, Mrs. Ellen Renner.
The funeral services were held this
morning at 9 o'clock at St. Anthony's
church and interment made in the Mount
ain cemetery. The deceased was aged
72 years, 7 months and days.

Boil All Cold-Pack Vegetables
Before USinl,

A disturbing word comes from DR..
Ernest C. Dickson, of San Francisco, in
the journal of the American medical as
sociation regarding possible danger in
the cold-pack method of preserving fruits
and vegetables, but it is reassuring that
boiling will eliminate any peril The
evil lies in possible poisoning from the
toxin of the bacillus botulinus, which
within six years has sickened 20 persons
on the Pacific Coast and caused % deaths.
DR.. Dickson sums up:
The botulinus toxin is easily destroyed
by heating, and all danger of botulism
will be removed from home-canned pro-
ducts if the food is always boiled before
it is eaten or even tasted Under no cir
cumstances should home canned products,
if the food is prepared by the cold-pack
method, be served as salad unless they
have been cooked after their removal
from the container, and, until it is estab-
ished what fruits are suitable for the
formation of the toxin, it will be safer
to reheat all fruits which have been pre-
pared by this method, even though there
may be no apparent evidence that the
food has spoiled. Springfield Republican.
