In the north he had his men stationed all along the trail to rob the new corners through the shell game, card games or by force, it mattered little which way.
 "Soapy" was killed in the summer of 1898, by Frank Reid, who at the same time lost his life at the hands of Smith The two are buried in Skag- way close together and few tourists pass through the town without visit ing the two graves and repeating the story once again.

 The town of Wfangell was left fn a sad plight when William G. Thomas, United States commissioner went to Portland to spend the holidays with out leaving anyone to act as censor of marriages in his absence. Young love of Wrangell has enough to battle without learning at the eleventh hour that marriage license, usually considered quite necessary, had no one to sponsor it's issue in the absence of the commissioner. Thus four young hearts, eager to beat as two found one more obstacle in their path. Of course they could wait the many dreary days till the judges return, but love has never been taught that vir- tue, so the young people appealed to Judge Robert W! Jennings, of the United States district court, to come to the rescue.

One circular contains the warning issued by the Vigilance Committee of 101 members, to all Confidence, Bunco and Sure thing Men" to leave Skagway immediately and was signed by the figures 101.
 The second circular, containing "Soapy's" answer, was soon printed and copy nailed to the door of every member of the Vigilance Committee. It announced in substance that 317 flaw abiding citizens" would be nleased at any time to meet the 101. It looked bad for the lesser number.
 These two circulars are to be pre- scented to the Alaska Historical As sociatton by Dr. Chase
 The doctor also has an article which appeared in Leslie's written by his old friend and partner, Harry Suy- dam, which recalls those tragic days in Skagway, when Jefferson Randolph Smith was king of the outlaws with
