CLEVER CROOK
c A P 7 u IRE D
BY A SECOND
HAND DEALER

When Judge and Mrs. w. A. O
Connor returned from their Christ
mas dinner at the w. H. Walker
ranch, near Silva station, Thursday
evening, they let themselves into the
house by unlocking a door; but once
inside they found all other doors un-
locked, and it took but few moments
to determine that the house had been
ransacked. Drawers were opened, their
contents pulled out and pulled over,
and a general condition of confusion
apparent at every turn.
Investigation demonstrated that
from purse that was IN a drawer
of Mrs. O'Connor's dresser a five dol
lar bill had been extracted, and a pfs-
tol (Colt's revolver, calibre 41), be-
longing to Judge O'Connor, was mis-
sing. Several stickpins and gold
watchchain were also taken. Judge
O'Connor reported the robbery to the
police station.
Yesterday morning Mr.. E. M. Rails,
proprietor of the American Furniture
Exchange, at 3131a Morley Avenue,
was offered calibre Al revolver by a
stranger, and he bought it for $5. Af-
ter the man had gone he began to
have some doubt about the legal own
ership Of the eweapon, and he phoned
an inquiry to Chief of Police J. j.
Lowe. 1t chanced that Judge O'Con-
nor was in the police station at that
moment, talking over the robbery
with Chief Lowe, who informed Mr..
Rails at once that the gun is the pro-
perty of Judge O'Connor; and Officer
Tom Cumming was sent over to get
the gun and investigate.
Mr.. Rails and an employe named
Ortega went out and made a search
for the man, and found him on Nor
ley Avenue, taking him into custody
and reporting at the police office with
their prisoner within a very few
minutes. He gave his name assStrat-
ton, but he is said to have several
aliases, both Bratten and Sterner be-
ing among them. Search of the pris-
oner brought from his pocket watch
chain belonging to Judge O'Connor,
and several stickpins, one of them be-
ing a part of the plunder taken at
the Q'Connor residence. Another
stickpin taken from the O'Connor res
idence, was found outside of the win
dow of -, mans room at the Hotel
Arizona. Nbore the initials G. D. w.,
and it il ll-3ly he thought better to
discard an article so easily identified
From . Police station Mr.. Rails
went to room of the man Stratton,
at the Arizona, and secured possess
sion of his grip, investigation of which
at the police station developed other
stickpins and many other articles OF
jewelry, all of them, very likely, pro-
ducts of burglarious visits at one
place or another.
Interrogated by the chief of po-
lice the man Stratton admitted him
self possessed of criminal record,
stating that he had been paroled from
the Indiana penitentiary.

Ketchikan Moves For Territorial Division
(Ketchikan Times)


 Division of Alaska into two Territories will be at the present session Congress if the other towns of Sutheasern Alaska will join ketchikan Tn the movement, it was decided last nish. uy es oey the Territory is compelled to furnish prac.caliy all of the taxes which to maintain the IerrltoIial Divisions during the first four sessions nave seen fit not to take this into consideration 1n dollns out the appropriations the Council is Of the oplnlon that stems should be taken at to remedy condlt1ons
 Each year the burden of financial responsibility falls more and to Southeastern Alaska while It is not given as much money for roads and trails as inc other Divisions The Council last night expressed the belief that the time had now arrived when the people of the panhandle would be much better off if they were separated from the mainland of Alaska
 The City Clerk was instructed, together with to confer with the Commercial Club, com municate with each of the cities Of the Frst Jualca Division, if some concerted action could not be taken Instructions were also issued by the Council that figures be complied showing the amount of taxes collected in Southeastern Alaska during tne past six years, comparing them with the returns from the other Divisions. With this the Counc1i wants comparative statement of the appropriations made which will show the members believe, that the panhandle has been used unfairly.
 While there is still some uncertainty as to the method of procedure, to secure division or the Territory the opinion was offered that congress should be asked to authorize election, at which l referendum could be taken to separating or con nuing part of the mainland
 It would make little difference, it is believed, whether to submit the question to referendum of the whole Territory or simply the Southeastern part In either case there are sufficient votes in the Southeast, the Councilmen were led to believe, to carry the election for separation.
 If the mainland thinks the Southeastern part has not been getting the worst of it, it could have no objection to the division. Any vote cast against he dividing of the Territory would be an admission that the panhandle the little gold mine that been filling the poke of the rest of Alaska for years
 Officials and business unanimously n favor of the split and all confident that the desired ends may be attained if the matter is gone bout in the proper way.
