 Among the passengers on board Che steamer Alaska, which sailed for Fairbanks yesterday. was Carl Nigl. an alien enemy. Ho will bc held in the federal jail in the upper town until such time as he can be sent outside for internment for the duration Of tho war. Nigl had been engaged In hunting and trapping In thc Kantishna country and had also done some dosultory prospecting In that region. He had built hlmUeli large cabin on the Kantishna, about 9O miles from its mouth. which he occupied for the past three years. Right under the porch Of the cabin over the doorway. Nigl had put a board bearing. in large letters, the legend "vnla Hlndenburg" with a fac-simile Of the German iron cross painted on the top Of the left side Of the board. AS an alien enemy ho had failed to register as required by the law, and although he has stren- uously denied it. the evidence of people who know him and had spoken Co him about it. taken in Nonana by Assistant U. s. Attorney Harry Pratt, proved conclusively that he was well aware of this TO- quirement and had ample time tc register if he was SO inclined. The evidence taken also proved that Nigl was openly pro-German and hostile Co the United States and was re. garded as a dangerous character who would not hesitate to do dam. age Co government property and hamper the government in every way if possible. On instructions issued he was arrectcd at Hot Springs by Deputy Marshal J. l.. finders. who took him to Fairbanks yesterday Nenana News, July 12.
