Most any time, under somewhat

here, according to Nockels. A letter
from Frank P, Walsh, Kansas City
lawyer who headed the U. S. indus

way:
Investigation of the so-called

'The exploiters of labor on the

in your bastile as the result of the evil influence you so generously at tribute to her association with me, may be the same,-I don't know. l am led to believe it is. for l recall no other Annie in Rampant, and the one 1 knew was even at that time marked with a ravenous appetite for hooch.
 You will doubtless find verifica- tion for your assertion that she was my former wife. when I confess that the same roof sheltered both of us for a short time But it so happened that it likewise sheltered five other white men. two of whom had come from the states with me ill search of gold and glory. These two young men, each now prosperous in busi- ness, were my partners. They will un- doubtedly find much interest in your story of my past. But to return to that roof-alas. it. and Annie her self. belonged 10 another-a man from whom my partners and I had taken a mining lease I regret to state that we were not a happy family-even during the brief interval we all dwelt there together. Memory tells me that one reason was because Annie, my 'sourdough' associates helpmeet, in sisted upon boiling fishheads in tom ato can and eating the eyes while we college boys were at our meals. It was not appetizing to try to eat while those fish-heads were being vacuum cleaned. Nor were Annie's other hab- it's those to which we were accustom- cd te in our homes
 Anyhow, moved. I am moved now.-to tears.-at the thought that all unwittingly I injured the maiden's prospects. wrecked her later life and became a squaw man by refusing to stand for those fish heads.
 T am assuming, of course, that the incorporate lady mentioned in your columns and my ex-associates light olove are one ant the same But hear you exclaim: 'Ha, the wretch betray himself, Another's wife for sooth. This Beach has written noth- ing but lies about Alaska This is a gross libel upon the name of her fair daughters and constitutes his crown ing infamy!'
 Tn the light of those mortifying disclosures contained in your digni- fled editorial page of September p, am reminded that mans evil deeds will arise to plague him, and I am constrained to advise all young men that they cannot be too careful in sowing their wild oats, lest, surer than shootin, some insane editor will harvest them and offer them for pub lie sale
 My dear Alaska Citizen, you can not know what emotions you have arounsed in this breast of mine by thus , prying into a past which I considered dead and gone, nor with what feelings ' shall paste your clipping into my scrap book, after it has gone the rounds of those fellows who knew
 Short and Dirty. It has the makings of a splendid press story in it, and ! trust vOu will pardon me if 1 avail myself of that fact, giving due credit of course to, The Alaska Citizen.
 In closing, permit me to assure you that you have. added greatly to the enjoyment of a dull winter, even tho
 that enjoyment is tempered by the melancholy conviction that your pa
 per is edited by a maniac
