Fatal Accident to Section Foreman
Q ooooooooocoooee~ .

From the effects of injuries sustained on August Il, when small gasoline car of the Panama Valley railroad jumped the track, John Rolla a section foreman of the railroad, died at St. Joseph's hospital, Fair banks, the following day. Examination showed that Rolla's neck and back had been broken and that the tenth rib had broken and pierced the lung. Just how the accident occurred is difficult to learn. From the evidence secured by Wade H, Jos lin, manager of the railroad, it appears that Mr Rola left Cinema for Fairbanks during the afternoon and that the acc- dent occurred at 7 80 o'clock at the "Y," where the Chena line cuts of from the main line. Rola came to Fairbanks in 1905 and had worked practically all the time since then for the railroad. Little is known of his family He was member of the Blaine Wash, lodge of Masons

Trail Murders May Be Cleared Up

Frank Kuret, charged with the murder of John Smith of Tazlina Alaska, near the Valdez trail, in 1913, was arrested in Sc atte on August 14 by Sheriff Stringer. Kuret had been employed by the Seattle Drydock x Construction Company. The arrest of Kuret, says the Fairbanks News Miner, recalls three vicious murders which took place on the Valdez trail during the summer of 1913. For time it looked as though the murder of Ole Nelson, Her man Anderson and John Smith would never be traced. P. R. Mcclure at present dep uty United States marshal at Fort Yukon, was appointed special investigator and he started to work He worked on the case for almost two years, and was sad to have found sufficient evidence to convict kuret if he could be found Once or twice he was close on Kuret'< trail, but each time the man escaped him, As the murders were committed in the Third division, Kuret will be turned over to Marshal Bren- neman and returned to Alaska for trial,

Four Men Drowned at Mouth of kenai

Latest advices from the superintendent for Libby, McNeil & Libby at kenai state that four men were drowned there July 8 by the capsizing of dory near the mouth of the river, says the Seward Post of July 2S. The Chinamen were taken out alive, but three Japs and an ltalien were drowned. The bodies of the victims with the excep- ton of that of one of the Japs, were recov- cred later and were inferred at kenai. The drowned men and six Chlnamen went over to the town of kenai, the day being Sun day and the carnery idle, and apparently obtained liquor there, as it is stated they were more or less intoxicated when they started to return to the cannery. The ten men. including three Japs an Italian and six Chinamen, embarked in dory, con ably overlooking the craft. Their in toxicated condition, the strong current of the river and a heavy southwest wind all combined to bring about the accident

COMSTOCK BACKS
RALSTON'S PLAN

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Jan. 49,
Judge Daniel w. Comstock of Rich
mond, Sixth District representative
elect, was a guest of the Chamber of
Commerce at a luncheon here Thurs
day. He gave half-hour talk on
charities and corrections, making ref
erence to the suggestion of former
Governor Ralston that the manage
ment of all charitable and benevolent
institutions of the state be governed
by a central board of trustees in the
interest of economy He said he could
find no fault with such a plan if it
proved economical, and did not lose
sight of the humanitarian principles
that should rule in the care of the
institutions.
