IN JAIL FOR
ATTEMPTED MURDER

Judge M. E. Hollingsworth held
the preliminary hearing Friday in
the case of Tolbert Murray. He was
charged with trying to murder Nam
ME Coleman with an axe. They are
both colored people and live on Mr..
J. B. Green's place near the city. 1t
seems that Murray was having some
words with the negro woman. After
he had beat her and done everything
he could he was trying to get her
down so he could cut her head off
with an axe. Timely aid came. He
was brought here to Jail and after
the hearing Friday he was bound
over to the court. :

THE LIBERTY BONDS.

Every young mar who has volun-
teered to serve his country during
the war, and every young man who
has answered the call to arms under
the Selective Service Act is giving
of the best years of his life, giving
of the fruitful years of his position,
of his profession and of his business,
that free government may live on
the earth. These young men are
making the supreme sacrifice for you
and for me and for all those who
remain at home.
We are called upon to do but lit
tie. We may loan the government a
few dollars for which we receive the
best collateral on earth, or we may
eat a little less of certain things, or
W. may pay a little more taxes, but
what are all these things as COM
pared with what the young men of
the country are giving?
On behalf of the boys who are to
do the fighting and in order that
the war may be quickly won, and
that the casualty list may be kept to
a minimum, you and I are asked, not
to give anything, not to deprive
ourselves of anything of real value,
not to make any human exertion,
but to invest in the safest security
which may be offered.
How many men in Abbeville when
the representatives of the govern
ment call this week, will give enough
for it to be felt? How many indeed,
will turn a deaf ear to the calls of
the men who are wearing the coun-
try's uniform and who are soon to
be- fighting in the trenches in France?
If we are not willing to pay a
little more taxes, if we complain of
the restrictions placed upon food by
the government, and then refuse to

SLACK WATER HOLDING BACK
 DEVELOPMENT

That poor water conditions in the Toloyana country will be the means
 of holding back the development oi that section materially this summer, is the report brought in by party of Fairbanksans who recently re
 turned from a two weeks trip II has not rained there except in a
 drizzle since early in the spring, during the time that the snow was melting, and as d consequence there
 has been practically no water avail
 able for sluicing purposes.
 The result of the poor water con ditions is that there are yet num- Der of dumps of pay dirt taken out
 during the winter, to be washed up. No very close estimate was madc regarding the amount of money Whlci is thus lying around on top of thr ground, but one Of the returning Fairbanksans stated yesterday that there are two of the dumps which, when washed up, will probably pro duce $50,O00, according to what he
 was told.
 A labor shortage is also affecting the Tolovana country. It is next to | impossible to procure men to work l underground now, even though the | highest wages are paid and the money is absolutely good in most in stances. Large numbers of the men
 are stated to have gone to Nenana | from the Tol-vana for the purpose
 of seeking employment on the Alaska ! government railroad, while still oth
 CTS have left the Tolovana for the
 purpose of going to mining camps down the river.

SENATORS ARE FIGHTING THE
 SHIPPERS BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.- The most serious debate since that of last fall, when q number of mea- sures were held up by filibusterers, is now going on in the senate. IL is regarding the priority shipments bill, which provides that the government be gwen the right to use the ship ping facilities of any and all rail roads of the country in preference to any other shippers.
 An attempt was made today to curtai debate on the measure and force it to a vote.

 Senator Hardwick also attacked the bill in a speech. He declared that it is d menace to the liberty of the people and of the country.
 The senators who are pushing the bill are calling for a quorum ire quently in an effort to keep ma jority of the senators present so that the measure may be voted on at any time
