DECLARED NIXON FORK STRIKE
 ONLY A PROSPECT

i;oseate reports concerning. the quartz strike on Nixon Fork.

 Aitken recently visited Fairbanks and is quoted by the News Miner as stating Una, the alleged ten mile con tact at Nixon Is just a mile wide: that the ore is lead. simular to the Slocan ore: that t will probal,- run about $50 and Is just q prospect land chance he is taking to the extent os sending five of six hundred tons O. the ore 10 the mill to see how 1t comes Iou"
 Commenting on the report. th. Miner says If Tom Aitken could realize upon all the rich propositions given him by newspapers and letter writers. he would ie rich beyond the dreams Of ayarice and own a lot of the newspapers-but, he can't. On his way here he ran into the news paper reports of his rich returns from his Nixon Fork nier, and they staz gered him bs their wildness.~

AS DESERTERS
Men Who ! Volunteered in
T.. slss Ia 81 3 SIS 81
Army Warned to Clear
Draft Records
TO PUBLISH NAMES
AND MAKE ARRESTS
War Department Will Shortly An
nounce It's Programme Reward to
Be Paid for Apprehension of Desert
ers-Would Cost Over s8,0oO,0OO.

| WASHINGTON, Aug 10-Any man in
the United States who has reason to be-
lieve that his draft board record is not
clear should at once write to Maj-Gen.
Peter Harris and ascertain how he is
classified.
This does not apply to deserters or
others who during the war wilfully vio-
! lated the military laws of the United
States, but only to those men of whom
there were thousands, who VOLUNTEERED in
the army, navy or marine corps at the
beginning of the war and who thereafter
failed to notify their respective boards
that they were already in the service.
The word army as used here includes, of
regular army.
The foregoing statement from the war
department is issued in connection with
| a program shortly to be announced which
| is expected to call for the arrest and de-
livery to the federal authorities of more
| than 10000 men who stand charged with
the crime of desertion in time of war.
Owing to the great number of known
deserters the government in seeking their
apprehension will not offer the $50 re-
ward usually paid in such cases, but will
seek to bring the dehnquents TO justice
with the aid of the hundreds of thousands
of men who did their duty in the hour
of need. If the usual reward was paid
and the deserters captured it would drain
from the departments appropriations a
sum in excess of SS,000,000 The depart
f,l
although the fact that a draft regis
trant does not know his status is largely
his own fault, yet any man who now
suspects that he may be classified as a
deserter can write to the adjutant gen
eral of the army at Washington, ID. C.,
and receive full information as to how he
is classified.
This notice is given to the public SO
that anv of the 1921 men whose names
are now listed, who can show that they
Hdids not lwilfully, eYRde vthslr, ldHty, may
have their names removed before pubhea-
ton of the list.
"The war department is most anxious
not to place upon any man who served
his country honorably the humiliation
of having his name appear as a Stacker,
and for that reason is seeking the widest
publicity of the fact that list of desert
ers will be published, and that the men
whose names appear on ltiiat list 9will be
arrested and brought to trial before a
military court.
eThe tremendous public sentiment
against slackers will cause the where
abouts Of most Of them to be revealed,
and it is not expected that any guilty
man will escape.
Further details of the governments pro-
gram to bring the great army of slackers
10 Justice will be announced in few
days.

CANDIDATE FOR REGISTER.
Former Brattleboro Man Seeks Probate
Position in Keene.

George II. Sherwin, a well-known
resident of Keene. who came here from
Brattleboro. Vt, in 1902 and has since
held responsible positions at the keene
and Winchester National banks and at
the Kingsbury Toy, company factory,
announces today that he will be candi-
date, as a Republican, for nomination for
the office of register of probate at the
September primaries, says the keene
Sentinel of Monday. He will favor the
retention of. Miss Ella f. Gee as the
clerk in charge of the office, where she
has proved her COMPETENCY in that posi-
ton for long time.
Mr.. Sherwin, who is graduate of the
Albany, n. Y, business college, was for
Ia years clerk and teller at the Keene
National bank. He was also city auditor
for some years. He gave up his position
to accept the cashiership of the Win
chester National bank, which position
he held for b. months, continuing his
residence in keene. He then accepted a
position as accountant in the office of the
Toy company, where he in
tends to remain, but would have time
to superintend and audit the probate
office records, as has been done by Messrs.
w. H. Spalter and A. w. Pressier while
Miss Gee has been in active charge.

! would be unfair to accept plea of
guilty from him without further inyesti-
CATION, so his case was continped at the
request of, his. counsel, Attorney. A.. v,
/ ID. Piper, and he was returned to New
fame Jail pending inquiry to learn
whether he has record.
After the men were brought here they
asked for counsel and the court assigned
| Attorney Piper to defend them, and after
! a conference the case of Tracy was taken
lup. He pleaded guilty, and in state
ment to the court States Attorney Glib
I son said the three men came from New
/ York to Wilmington July %, sent there
| by an employment bureau, but because of
| trouble with the employment agent they
| did not begin work but started for Brat
tlebofo on foot. They were seen near
/ the Anterior house and when the family
| returned from an absence tracks of
three men were seen around the house.

and somebody had been in the house.
entering through another window.
Tracks of three men led from the house
| up Hogback mountain. The three re-
spondents were picked up in an automo.
| bile by julius Wilcox and brought to
lBrattleboro. When picked mp they had
a suitcase containing the Atherton girls
dresses, which Tracy threw into the
bushes as part of one of the dresses
showed near the cover and he thought
Mr.. Wilcox might become suspicious.
Tracy, the states attorney said, stated
that the plan was to sell the dresses to
| get money with which to pay their fares
back to New York.
Attorney Piper said the young men
had freely told all there was to tell and
that one had offered to go with the officer
| to try to show where the suitcase was,
as it has not been found. States Attor-
ney Gibson called the courts attention to
the fact that by pleading guilty the re-
spondent had saved the state much ex-
pense.
The case of Carroll was taken up next,
and he pleaded guilty. Attorney Piper
said Carroll was an accessory, but did
not take part in the stealing of the
dresses. States Attorney Gibson said
Carroll claimed he had tuberculosis.
Judge Cudworth thought CAROLS
guilt was practically the same as that
of Tracy, and he said he would treat the
two cases alike. He also said that while
the charge was grand larceny the admis-
sions of the respondents and statement
of attorneys showed that the crime was
committed in a way that amounted to
breaking and entering. In imposing
sentences of not less than one year nor
more than two the court called the re-.
spondents' attention to the fact that
under the statute the sentence might be
10 years besides fine. s. q I- -

General Gordon's almost magical In
fiuence arose from the all-pervading
sense, inspired by his mere presence,
that here was a man who always was,
and always would be, infiexibly true to
his highest conviction. When he was
in the Soudan, he never hesitated to
place outside his tent the white hand
kerchIef,- which meant, as all men
knew, that he was at prayer and that,
during that sacred. hour when he was
alone with God, he must not be dis
turbed.-F. III. Cheiey in "Stories for
