SAFE IN THEATRE TAPPED FUR
 S131.15

During the night sneak thieves en- tered the office of the Empress the atre, by prying open the front door, and rifled the safe. getting away with $131.15. The combination was not thrown on the safe and the inner door was unlocked with a key taken from the cash drawer, showing that the party who committed the robbery was familiar with the surroundings.
 An investigation this morning re. vealed the fact that the money box taken was rifled in the rear of the building, where papers and other con tents of the box were found scattered on the floor and the stage. The job was evidently done by an amateur, who was only after the money belong ing to the theatre, as over $50 belong ing to the Red Cross was left in the safe. In the adjoining office, occupied by the Pacific Steamship Company, there was also considerable money, but apparently no effort was made to get it.

Thomas Riggs, Jr., member Of the Alaska railroad commission and iI charge of construction work on the Fairbanks end, arrived in Cordoya Saturday night from the interior on his way to Anchorage to confer with lWilliam c. Edes, chairman of the com mission. Mir. Riggs will probably get away on the steamer Alaska tonight
 Tn spite of the war and the in creased cost of material and labor there has been no let-up in construc. tion work in the interior this summer and fall" says MT. Riggs. All things considered, good progress has been made. From Nenana south, 43 miles of right-of-way have been under con. struction and 80 per cent of this dis tance is now graded and seventy pound rails have been laid over IS miles of this. Before the end of miles from Nenana. During the winter months a bridge will be constructed across the Nenana
 Last winter there was a serious shortage of fuel in Fairbanks and on the creeks. In order to prevent a similar condition this winter, the con- mission has graded five miles of track from Happy station to connect with tho Tapono NoIIay raiIuyo,- rrh.oo miles of standard guage railway has been laid and the other two miles Will be completed before the beginning of winter.
 Construction work was put back about month this summer because of high water in the Panama river. I te stream overflowed the new tracks in two places and for a while threatened to wash out about thirteen miles of the road. In order to prevent similar trouble in the future. it was necessary for us to change the course of the Panama river at that point"
 Mr. Riggs left Fairbanks last We'd nesday on receiving a telegram from MT. Edes, asking him to come to An chorage at once. and he is in the dark as to the purpose of the mission. The railroad builder made exceptionally fast time over the trail. making the auto run in two and a half days, al most duplicating the time made by Marshal L. T. Erwin and party.

 SLIDE

Passengers on Saturday nights steamer from the westward brought word of the death of Jess. J. Grimes in slide in a gravel pit at Seward.
 Grimes was working for the Alaska Northern railway at mile 1-2, known as the gravel pit. where the steam shovel had been working Three men were caught in the slide in which Grimes lost his life. Grimes smoth- cred to death before help could reach him, while the other two, a man by the name of McPherson and the other, whose name was not learned escaped. McPherson is slightly bruised and fs in the Seward hospital but his injuries are of minor nature.
 The slide was not a large one. but came so suddenly and unexpectedly that Grimes and McPherson were lit erally covered with the gravel, while McPherson was able to crawl out with the help of others. The third iH"H bSihb thO lal thcSt away ran when he saw the slide coming and es- capped unhurt.
 Medical aid was summoned and a train rushed to the scene of the acci- dent within a few minutes, but it was found that Grimes was dead upon be- ing taken out from under the dirt.
 
 This is the first time in the history of the road that a man has lost his life, and when it Is considered that over a thousand men are employed on the road, many in dangerous posi-. tions, it is considered a remarkable record.

MARSHAL. WILEY IS SLAIN AT
 SEWARD

While discharging his duty at an of ficer of the law, Deputy U. s. Marshal Wiley, of Seward, well known to many tCordovans, was mortally wounded in a pistol battle with T. D. Dority, pas senger on the steamer Admiral Wat son last Wednesday. Dority was slain almost instantly, while the officer passed away on the following day.
 The story of the tragedy was brought to Cordova by officers of the Admiral Watson last Saturday even ing.
 While the Watson was in port at Seward, Dority went up town. Going into the restricted district, he ere ated a disturbance, threatening to kill two of the inmates if they refused to accompany him onto the boat However, he was pacified for the time being, and he immediately went up town, going directly to the Overland hotel, where he engaged a room and retired
 The marshals office being notified in the meantime of Dority's disorderly conduct below the line, Marshal Evans went to investigate Not wish. ing to take a chance with a man as desperate as Dority was reported to be, he decided to wait until the man came down stairs. In the lobby of the hotel he met Marshal Wiley, and told him of the facts as far as he knew them, and suggested that they wait until the man appeared on the street. This being the arrangement. Evans started for home.
 Wiley. however. decided not to wait for his man, but went up to his room and knocked. Getting no answer, he took out his pass key and unlocked the door, when, without a word Of warning, Dority began shooting poius blank at the officer. Wiley returned the fire and grappled with his man. Dority received three bullets in the body, the one in the right breast prov ing fatal. Wiley was shot twice, once in the abdomen and once in the hip. He walked down stairs unassisted and was rushed to the Seward hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds next day.
 That DOrity intended to kill some body is certain, for he was we'll sup piled with ammunition and his pockets contained several loaded cartridges for instant use, while a full box was in his coat pocket. The weapon used was of 45-calibre and a powerful gun
 The man had not been drinking and the only reason assigned for the ter rible deed Is that he either went in- sane or thought some one was afler him.
 Dority was a man about 2S years of age, we'll dressed, neat appearing and was evidently foreigner. Up un- til noon he was around the streets of the city and there was nothing in his manner or his appearance to excite the least suspicion of anyone.
 Dority is remembered by a number of Cordoya people as having been em- ployed at Kennecott until a few months ago.
 He registered at a local hotel on August 2S, while waiting to catch a boat for the westward, and left here on the steamer Admiral Watson.
