 Alaska was that of meeting so many former friends, now residents of the Territory, whom he was we'll ac- ouainted with in the East, stated Dr. c. F. Campbell. who with Mrs. Campbell and daughter, Mildred, ar rived in Seward Sunday from Law ing, where they had been spending a few days following completion of the Golden Belt Tour.
 Second Trip to Alaska
 This is Dr. Campbell's second trip to the Territory, but his first to this district and so delightful and full of interest has been the journey, that the family are emphatic they will re- turn sometime again. Three years ago Dr. Campbell made the South eastern Alaska trip to Skagway, and thence into Yukon Territory over the White Pass and Yukon railroad.
 This time the family came to Cor dova from the South, making the Richardson Highway trip out from Chitina The overland journey was magnificent, it was stated, with ideal weather conditions all along the route of travel. At Fairbanks Dr. Campbell met Dr. Romig, whom he knew at Coffeeville, Kansas, where the Campbells reside. Dr. Romig was raised ten miles from the Kan sas town, made famous by the Dal- ton brothers last raid. At Anchor age Ted Bedell was met, quite by accident. With Bedell, former news paper publisher at Anchorage, Dr. Campbell had a fine visit, talking about the old times when they play ed football together on the same col lege team. Bedell only weighed 135 pounds at that time, and played end, and according to Dr. Campbell, there never had been a more fleet-footed football player than this same Be- dell. Both played on the old Baker University eleven. Dr. Campbell was a substitute his first year, but the following year led the eleven as captain.
 Dr. J. B. Beeson, consulting physi- elan and surgeon at the Alaska Rail- road hospital at Anchorage, and Dr. Campbell, put in four years together at the Rush Medical College. While in Anchorage Dr. Campbell had the honor, he said, of assisting Dr. Bee son with a surgical operation. He intended to stay over in the Inlet City for some time, especially for the purpose of playing round of golf with his old friends, but time did not permit.
 Dalton Brothers Last Raid
 It was thirty years ago, Dr. Camp bell informed the Gateway repre- sentative, when the last raid on this earth of the famous Dalton broth ers' gang of highwaymen and train robbers, took place at Coffeevil1e.
 Bob and Grant Dalton were killed outright by the posse and Emmet Dalton was so badly wounded, after escaping out of town, he was later captured when he fell off his horse, weakened from loss of blood. Two other bandits, members of the band, were also killed during the raid, one of them being Bill Broadwell.
 Riding into Coffeeville one morn ing, the gang quietly slipped into one of the banks, where they stuck up the cashier, who had just come on duty. The cashier told theaDal- ton brothers the safe worked on a time lock and could not be opened for at least half-hour, so the gang sat down to wait. In the mean time news of the robbery had spread about town with the result the citi- zens of the town got together, direct ed gun fire at the bandits inside the bank building. During the exchange of shots three civilians were killed in addition to four bandits. When speaking of Coffeeville, Dr. Campbell said everything apparently dates back to the time of the Dalton boys last raid, which, as years have roll ed by, has given the now flourishing city, much publicity.
 Accompanied by his family Doctor Campbell left Seward for Seattle on the Northwestern.
