SOUAW MAN FOUND
 GUILTY OF SEDITI0N

II. R. Rasmussen, of Douglas. Alaska, was arrested the other day for beating his Indian wife, and after his incarceration in iail he was charged with sedition, according to the Douglas Island News. He was tried before a jury in United States Commissioner Henson's court.
 There was no lack of evidence that Rasmus is not ii sympathy with Amer ica in this war: that he objected to his wife working for the Red Cross and in nicted physical punishment on her for so doing; that he had expressed him self as expecting something of the kind when John MacWilliams' launch was dynamited six weeks ago at Doug las and said at the time that other such things would happen. Williams by expressing loyal sentiments had made himself objectionable to Rasmussen.
 The jury did not require much time in arriving at ;t verdict of guilty and Commissioner Henson promptly sen fenced Rasmussen to six months i'm prisonment in the federal jail at Juneau and to pay fine of S200. In default of payment of the fine, an additional three months jail sentence will be Rasmus sen s portion.
 Rasmussen is a Dane and has been a resident of Douglas for several years. He was married to his native wife last summer.

IT HOLDS NO LURE
 FOR PROSPECr0R

There is one place in Alaska that holds no lure for the prospector, the fox farmer or the agriculturist. It is Chirikoff Island about eighty miles south west of Kodiak, declares mail advices from Kodiak.
 Lonely in it's solitude, stern and for bidding, wrapped in eternal mists, drowning and sullen. Chirikoff is the island of ghosts. Surrounded by dan gerous reefs and stormy seas, it is at best an uninviting place and is seldom visited unless stress of storm make Q landing there imperative.
 Nature has made the place repuIslve and legend has added to it's terrors. Natives passing give the place a wlde berth, and nothing short of dire ex- tremely would cause them to land there. They prefer to take the most desperate chances with storm and sea rather than set foot on it's inhospitable shores, for, legand has peopled the island with ghosts, whose wailings and meanings and the clanking of whose chains strike terror to the stoutest heart.
 Those whom necessity have com pelled to stop there tell narrowing tales of the unseen inhabitants of that desolate place, of the moans and cries which filled the air during the hours of darkness, and drove them at the first opportunity to seek other shelter. For Chirikoff, according to the legends of the natives, was the prison of the early Russian inhabitants of Kodiak. To this bleak and desolate island were banished the offenders against the Russian law or the edicts of the officials in command of the Russian settlement.
 Tales of horrible cruelties visited upon these unfortunates are handed down in the native legends; how the offenders, loaded with chains, were landed at Chirikof and left to their own resources.
 There was 20 escape and the unfor- tunates, prey to horrible sutferings, from hunger and exposure eked out an existence until death relieved them of their sufferings.
 Many years have passed since the last of these unfortunates died but their restless spirits still roam, accord ing 10 the tales of the natives, this bleak and desolate island, filling the air with their lamentations and the clanking of their chains.
 So vivid are these stories that even the white men shudder as they pass she unhallowed spot, and, like the na-

JOHN KLONOS IN MIXUP
{ Anchorage Times. ]


 Samuel Deschamps was arrested yes terday afternoon charged with assault ing John Klonos, known as "John the Creek" The accused is woodchop per and lives about two miles northeast of Anchorage. The assault grew out of a quarrel over the patriotic parade of last Wednesday when the Home Guard, of which John Klonos is a member, formed guard of honor to the 6l An chorage youths who had volunteered their services to their country.
 Deschamps is said to have made some remark concerning the parade that was resented by klonos. It is charged that Deschamps pulled Klonos from a dog sled on which he was riding, and beat and kicked him after knocking him to the ground.
 After the assault Deschamps departed for his cabin in the woods.
 Deputy United States Marshal Harry Kavanaugh later visited the cabin and arrested Deschamps, charging him with assault. His bail bond was placed at S1,OOO by United States Commissioner Leopold Davis. Friends of Deschamps raised this sum and he was released from the jail last night.

New Pay on Greensboro

Billy Bowers, of Greensboro creek, was a visitor in town this week. He said he and his partner found a ne" paystreak on Greensboro last winter. The new channel is about 200 feet farther into the hill, on the right limit, than the dredge was working last sum- mer. The new pay uncovered runs better than $l to the foot, and seems to be better the farther into the hill he got The ground is about 20 feet deep ano thawed. He expects to be work ing a large crew this summer, and thinks he has a homestake in sight.
