(By Elizabeth Powers Merrill)

A Calais youngster left in the rear
seat of an automobile, which took
matters into its own hands and started
off down the incline toward the inter-
national bridge, didn't lose his nerve
or presence of mind, but quietly though
quickly climbed over into the front seat
and stopped the car just as it was
about to mount the sidewalk, where it
would certainly have hit a woman and
child, standing there unconscious Of
their danger.

RAMPART MAN DIES IN
 FAIRBANKS HOSPITAL

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 24.--Yesterday morning E. T. Townsend, of Rampant passed aw3y -t St. Joseph's hospital. i MT. Townsend had been shot through both arms during an altercation near Rampant and 10th arms became in fected with t.C5l poison. His arms were rapidly healing after being prot to the hospital, but he seemed to sui fer from an internal shock and kept steadily growing worse up to the time of his death.
 The story of the trouble in which Townsend was shot is as follows: Townsend and Gray, the man who shot him, were working on Big Mi nook creek in the Rampant district. The two men had some trouble at Rahmsdorff's store at Rampant before October 21, but on that day the shoot ing occurred. Gray came to a desert ed roadhouse on Big Minook creek and saw posted there a sign warning away trespassers and signed by Townsend. He then went to Townsends cabin. From here on the stories of the two men differed.
 Gray says he went to Townsend's cabin and that Townsend appeared in the door with rife, and he. Gray, fired at Townsend several times, fir ing high to frighten him and then de parted.
 Townsends story, on the other hand, both at the preliminary hear Ing and on his death bed, is as fol- lows He heard his dogs barking on the 21st of October and came to the door to see what was the matter. On getting to the door he saw Gray with 2 rifle turned on him and Gray order cd Townsend to throw up his hands. Townsend ran ill the house and Gray fred, the bullet going through both of Townsends arms. Townsend fell down and Gray kept walking around
 he house firing through the window for about an hour and then left. AS soon as he thought it was safe Town send went out for aid. He was given first aid treatment as soon as pos sible and was brought to Fairbanks and placed in the hospital.
 Gray was arrested and bound over at the preliminary hearing on charge of assault with intent to kill. He was released on bonds and is said to be at Nenana at present.
 Gray is now liable to arrest for murder, but the federal officials refuse to state for the present. what action will be taken.
 Townsend was formerly deputy marshal on the lower river under
