D. C. Detective Risked
Life To Get Man Alive
Rather Than Kill Him

Detectives, that "Scrivener Is the
nerviest man / ever encountered"
Although shot twice by the negro
Scrivener was not badly wounted. He
has taken leave of abs<nce for week.
and today will leave for Whitacre'
Va, where his mother is spending her
vacation.
That Scrivener was not killed by
the negro Is probably due to watch,
given him by his mother years ago,
and which was struck by one or
Browns revolver bullets. Had the
bullet enter Scrivener's abdomen, 1t Is
believed death might have followed.
The watch stopped the bullet and only
a slight wound resulted.
Scrivener is one of the best known
detectives in Washington. He is only
thirty-two years old and is full of
energy He is shrewd and calculating
and has an enviable record for get
ting results in every case assigned to
him. During the race riots last year.
he displayed unusual bravery for
which he was commended by police
| officials.

 ard last night on the Gateway Limit ed from Anchorage. MT. Henderson is making his annual fall trip of insp> ion and will return to Juneau on the s. s. Northwestern next Sunday. Dur ing his travels he reaches practically every school district in the Territory. He visited Nome this past summer. His report of conditions throughout the territory is satisfactory. MT.

He is capable and thoroughly familiar with existing con- ditions and if willingto serve another term should be re-appointed regard less of his political affiliations.

GOING SOME

QUINCY, Cal, Nov, 18- Starting with small discovery less tha ten years ago, and without any of the spectacular discovery less thal ten years ago, and without. any of the spectacular strikes or stampedes which mark the history of most min ing regions, the Plumas copper field is forging to the front as one of the greatest in the west if not America. For number of years the field was thought to be small and probably linn ited to the original deposit discovery. With two mines IA miles apart pro- ducing millions of pounds of copper annually and scores of strikes in wide ly scattered sections made in pro- spect shafts or by diamond drilling, this theory has now been abandoned and the belt is now declared to extend from within three miles of Reno, Ne vada, across Plumas county and will into Shasta County, California, a distance of more than 100 miles with laterial limits of at least ten miles. Anton Anderson, A. E.. C., engineer from Mile 52 is stopping at the Sew ard Hotel. Mir. Anderson who arrived last night says that the snow shed on ] the summit is rapidly nearing comple- tiua.

A BUM STEER

HONOLULU, T. H., Nov., B- Three automobiles damaged; one book, black stand partially wrecked; one barber shop badly wrecked; two hayes and one haircut totally spoiled and oae steer dead, formed the total list of casualties here one recent evening. when the steer descended on Honoln. lu's business district.
 The steer, part of a shipaenk fss0 the Cooke ranch on the Islan2of Mol- okai, originally had heea intended to find his peacefull way ta Honolulu platters in the form of steaks and ,roasts. Instead, he broke from his he,ders while being unloaded from an fnter-Island steamer and wandered uR town in the dusk of busy Saturday evening.
 At the post office the animal spied the red tail lights of several automo- piles and lowered his head for . charge. The rear of one small car suf- fered considerably in the resulting im- pact and two others came in for sim liar treatment.
 Wearying of tilting at autos, the steer ambled up Bethel street, where a bootblack stand reused his ire. The shinners and their clientele went away from there in haste.
 The open door of an adjourning barbor shop invited attention and through it the potential steaks and roasts travelled "in high". Three barb CTS stopped work on a pair of shaves and one haircut with the simultaneous precision of well-drilled marines. Two of the barbers and all three customers left speedily, if not gracefully, lather, towels, razors and all.
 One barber either thought or moved too slowly and found himself bounded by a corner of the shop oa one aide and by peevish steer in all of the other three directions, from which preferred position he viewed the rapid overturning of the chairs, smashing of mirrors and demolishing of bottles.
 While the shave and haircut spec ialist was figuring what was the most effective and approved method of st- tacking steer with a rasoff, three city policemen and two military patrolnep appeared in the door of the shop.
 It t6ok eighteen bullets to finish the steer.

 Mother Goose, set to music, has come to the primary room to delight the little people there. She has come on small photograph records, and at various times in the day, she may be heard singing her old familiar jingle. often accompanied by thirty baby voices. Do they like Mother Goose :? Do they like those cunning records? You Ask some of them, and find out what they say! Miss Triplett, borrowed the graphaphone and bought the records herself. Ii is hoped that sometime, in :he not too distant future, that the school may have a graphophone of it's own, and records singing from Mother Goose, up to those of tyse really good artists. In this part of the world, in which it is impossible to hear much good music, first hand, graphones are very important educationally.
