MURDER TINTED AT
 IN BOOKARY CASE
Man Wanted in Detroit Pre-
 pared to Fight Extradition
MANGAN SEEKS FACTS
Counsel For Prisoner Asks For Dis closure Of Real Charge Court Continues Case To Monday But Allows No Bond.

Continues Case To Monday But
 Allows No Bond.
 sam C. Bookary, aged 50, who was arrested here yesterday by De. .!cctiNe Sergeant w. r. McCue of the local police and bctcctiye Sergeant .Chesle' X. Griffith of tue Detroit, Mich, police, will fight eytradition his counsel, Judge W. F. Mangan, said this morning.
 Bookary is said 10 be implicated in the murder of Tony Fanara in Detroit. February q. He came ao New Britain fifteen days ago from Boston. Mass, and his arrest result ed from the tracing of the regis trntjon of his automobile.
 Tn police court this morning, Bookary was charged with being a fugitive from justice and was rep resented hy Judge Mangan When the charge was read, Judge Mangan said it js insufficient to plead to.
 He said he did not want to be un- duly technical but he understood when he was retained yesterday that Bookary was held with reference to taking an automobile out of the state os Michigan on conditional bill of sale. Since then he has learned that q more serious charge I>,, I,n I,Il4a,-.c hp accused man should know what the charge is Judge AlIing said it is sometimes advisable not to disclose a charge because the information, if it becomes public, might interfere with the apprehension of others inn plicatcd. Judge Mangan said he would have treated such informa ton contidcntialy, but he believes the Detroit police officer should state the circumstances in chambers if Judge AlHng thinks it advisable, because it is planned to fight extra dition, and if the governor is given to understand that the charge to be preferred in Detroit has 10 do with an automobile case, he will very probably sign the eXtradition pap CTS. Judge Mangan said there are degrees of murder and he contended that he and his client should know the charge,
 Judge filling said the circum- stances in this case appeared 10 jus tify the action of the police in keep ing their own counsel. He therefore continued the case until Monday without bonds.

FIRE AT sAWMILL

A fire which threatened to wipe out the plant of the Wraneell Iumz Der and Power Company occurred on Tuesday
 By the time an alarm Of fire was turned in a few minutes before noon the top Of the engine room was in flames and there was every indica= ton that the destructive sawmill fire of 1917 was going 10 be repeat cd with far greater loss than was oecasioned by the first fire. How ever, the Wrangell Fire Department was on the job with recently Dur. chased fire fighting apparatus These. together with members Of the mill crew. soon began to get re- suits although the flames had gain cd considerable headway by the time the fire boys arrived.
 The new La France fire truck and combination pump was eonnect- ed up with salt water and poured q continuous heavy stream on the flames.
 Another factor which enabled the fire fighters to successfully cope with the flames was the fact that the walls of the engine room are .crtbbed. Walls constructed by the seribbinga method burn slowly and thereby prevent the flames from spreading with the usual ra= pidity.
 The loss was covered by insurance and was light In comparison with the value of the sawmin and power plant
