Calhoune's Slayer Com
 mitS Suicide

Peter Jackson, the Native who murdered U. s. Deputy Marshal Clyde Calhoune, committed sui eide at z o'clock last Friday morn ing by shooting himself.
 It is reported that Jackson had been drunk and disorderly to the extent that a complaint was sworn out against him and he was arrested on a charge of rape. The prisoner had had trouble with his family and had been sulking for two days without eating. He was also wearing wet clothes. After his arrest a party who saw the prisoner several times during the day reminded him each time that he would be almost sure to get life sentence in the peni- tentiary. At 6:30 in the evening the prisoner trumped up an ex- cuse to ask to go aboard his boat. Calhoune granted his request and accompanied him to the boat, but permitted him to go aboard alone. The deputy was walking to and fro on the beach waiting for the prisoner when Jackson appeared with 30.3O calibre rifle and shot Calhoune twice in the back, kill ing him instantly
 News of the murder spread like wildfire, and Natives and whites united in an effort to capture the murderer. Jackson sought refuge in the homes of different Natives but was turned away each time although he was armed and des- perate. On Friday morning Jack son saw that he was surrounded, and realizing that escape was hopeless, he committed suicide. He placed his rife in a standing position and bending over it, pulled the trigger. The bullet entered the abdomen, coming out through the left shoulder.
 The following letter received from a resident of Craig relates to the terrible tragedy:
The Wrangell sentinel., 1919-02-20

Craig, Alaska, Feb. 16, 1919. The Wrangell Sentinel,
 Wrangell, Alaska. -
 In justice to the residents of the Native town of Klawock l wish to state through the columns of your worthy paper that the residents of Klawock, after the shooting of Deputy Marshall Cal houne, spared neither labor nor money to assist the white people in the capture of his murderer.
 Without exception the Natives gave every assistance to the white deputies and absolutely denied support of any kind to the fugi- tive.
 Peter Jackson had been denied the privilege of living in Klawock but was permitted by the Native authorities to move into his wife's house after a solemn promise to be good. The Natives could not know the dastardly crimes that were to follow but from the time the murder of the marshal was made known until the shot that announced the criminals self-de. struction there was no thought except to bring the criminal to justice.
 1 believe the Natives of Kla- wock are rapidly approaching the time when the old tribal, feudal ideas will have entirely disap- peared to give place to a peace. loving, law-abiding citizenship.

COMPLETE TIE UP OF
ROADS PREDICTED

Chicago, Aug. "a complete tie
up of the railroads of the country is
very probable, in the opinion OF M
L. Hawver, president of the Chicago
district council of the Federated
Railway Shopmen's Union, which
called a strike Of shop crafts Friday.
He returned from Washington today
and declared the strike is spreading
rapidly and that the unrest among
railway workers is so general that
the movement has overwhelmed the
international officers of the various
unions involved.

American Federation of Railway
Workers. with a membership of 26,-
600. chiefly unskilled labor in Cleve-
land and the East, had decided TO
strike tomorrow, according to Mr.
Hawver.
The Maintenance of Waymen,s s
Union is also preparing to strike, IL
was said.
With more than 100000 shopmen
on strike and the number increasing,
both President Hawver and Secretary
John d. Saunders declared railway
schedules and industry would be Sc
riously crippled within day or two.
Already steel mills and other 1nous-
tries at Gary and other Northern IN
diana points and in Chicago have be-
g,n to feel the effects of the strlKe'
according to union leaders, ana "nen
the strike is more complete factories
and mills virtually will be forced TO
close down for lack of ore, coal ana
other essentials.
sThis movement is spreading ike
wild fire and we are not going to lay
down until we get our demands,
said President Hawver. sit has not
received the Endorsement OF our
grand lodge presidents, although
they are not getting ready for
strike Aug. oath. But we are going
ahead and are receiving many mes
sages telling of more men out or to
go out.

seems to be better understood in the
