MARSHAL ERWIN BELIEVES
 HAZELET WILL GET PLACE

United States Marshal L. T. Err win, who was in Nenana yesterday enroute to the States with a party of prisoners, does not put much stock in the reports which are com ing to Alaska regarding the appoint ment of governor and other officials who will serve in Alaska under the Harding administration. And he is positive that Secretary Fall has not indorsed any aspirant for office It would be quite unusual and in very bad form, the marshal says. for a member of the cabinet to discuss appointments in advance of formal action by the President, and he questions if even the interior secre- tary's most intimate friends know which of the several aspirants for the governorship he favors.
 Marshal Erwin believes that Haze let will be appointed governor and bases his belief on the fact that Hazelet has a clean political record as Republican, has the backing of the Republican organization and was staunch supporter of Senator Harding at the Republican National convention. The marshal does not believe the association of Hazelet' $ name with the Guggenheims will in- jure his chance for appointment, for the reason that talk of the Gin terests" does not alarm the Presi- dent. The marshal also believes that Charles Beam has a good chance for appointment, but he is not so sure about the other aspirants for recog- milton in the Fourth division.
 Marshal Erwin is now making what will probably be his last trip to the States as a representative of the department of justice He is

 dicated in a personal letter he re-
 gently received from the retiring attorney general, A. Mitchell Pal

 ducted his office. The letter, dated
 at Washington, March 8, reads as

Balls and Torrcys swore loudly and
swore that they would rot in jail
first-unless their kinsmen came and
shot up the town and liberated them
by force!

are guilty" grimly smiled the sheriff.
And if your folks want to try storm

pany of militia can be rushed here

1t may be recorded that the four
billmen never confessed.
.
Bill Dale, closely shadowed by one
lanky Samuel Heck with his inevitable,
ever-ready rifle, went among the work
ers with cheer that he did not feel.
For Caleb Moreland was In jail, and
Caleb Moreland was innocent. But
there was one sincere delight for
Dale: Hayes was driving the little
railroad ahead with all his might and
all the might of his men. Hayes was
in high favor with those under him;
they worked even harder when he was
absent than they worked when he was
standing over them.
The days ran on, and there was no
sign OF a hostile demonstration from
the Balls and Torreys. Judging from
appearances, they were wholly salts
fed with Caleb Moreland's being in
jail.

Dale hoped that he was rid of the man
for all time, but he wasn't. Goff was
not so confident as was Major Bradley
that he could establish his innocence
in the matter of the dynamiting of the
two buildings and the trestle. He
wished very much to steer clear of
arrest, for reasons of his own, and he
was biding his time in little town
in western North Carolina. When the
dynamiting affair had blown over, he
would go back and try again, perhaps
by an altogether new scheme. to get
himself into possession of the More
land coal.
Then there came to the neighbor-
hood 4 man whom no Moreland, and
none of the Littlefords, had ever set
eyes upon before. He was very un-
couth mountain man, with long black
hair and shaggy beard; his clothing
was outlandish and ragged. He had
not much to say; there was about
him, somehow, an air of mystery.

the opening of the coal vein, and
stopped him with an unpraised hand.
DO you know good coal when We
see it?" he drawled.
"Why?" asked Dale on his guard.
The stranger looked sharply in all
directions, as though he wished to
make sure that no person was within
earshot Of them. Evidently salts
fled. he drew from a trousers pocket
shining black lump of coal, which
he held out for Dale's inspection.
What do ye think o. this herer' he
wanted to know.
Dale took the lump and examined
1t closely. 1t was apparently as good
as the Moreland coal, which had sent
the expert Hayes into raptures. Dale
then looked closely at the stranger.
He appeared to be honest; his gaze
was steady. and seemed very inno-
