At last, in 1870, the government
made supreme effort to defeat him.
Settlers were being frightened away
and few could be induced to come
out, all because of a comparative
handful of runaway blacks, which,
once driven into the open, could be
shot down with ease, badly armed
as they were.
1t began by building forts and out
posts near the Maroon settlements,
during which time the builders were
ceaselessly harassed by Cudjoe.

were quick, wild and fiery, the whites
of them appearing little red, owing,
perhaps, to the greenness of the wood
they burned. They possessed most,
if not all, of the senses in a superior
degree. They were accustomed to
discover from habit in the woods
objects which white people of the
best sight could not distinguish, and
their hearing was so wonderfully
quick that it enabled them to elude
their most active pursuers.
I'm character, language and man
ners they resembled those Negroes
on the estates of the planters that
were descended from the same race
of Africans, but on closer inspection
displayed a striking distinction in
their personal appearance, being
blacker, taller, and in every respect,
handsomer.

They began, in the words of Dallas,
an English writer of those days (His-
tory of the Maroons), "a regular and
connected system of warfare and in
their frequent skirmishes with the
troops sent against them, acquired an
art of attack and defense in the
difficult and inaccessible fortresses of
the interior of the island which has
so often foiled the best exertions OF
disciplined bravery.
Description of the Maroons
I'm their person and carriage"
continues Dallas, "the Maroons were
erect and lofty, indicating a con-
seriousness of superiority. Vigor ap-
peared upon thef, muscles and their
motions displayed ability. Their eyes

"They were seldom surprised. They
communicated with one another by
means of horns, and when these
could scarcely be heard by other
people, they distinguished the order
the sounds conveyed. 1t is very re-
markable that the Maroons had a
particular call upon the horn for
each individual by which he was
summoned from a distance as easily
as he would have been spoken to had
he been near"
Add to this the fact that they were
unerring marksmen, the lack of am
mLnition having made them so.

CudjOe Outwits English
Cudjoe, who had heard all about
the proposed attack from his spies
among the slaves, laid plans to out
wit his foes. He sent one of his
most trusted men into the enemy
camp with a false tale of his location.
This information was so plausibly
conveyed to the British commander
that he never suspected the slightest
treachery and gave his men the Or
der to march into the mountains,
feeling sure that he would not come
upon Cudjoe until after a certain
date.
But Cudjoe. instead of staying
where Lemelia expected to find him,
came steathily down the mountain to
meet him and took up his position
in q narrow pass flanked by steep
precipices through which the enemy
| was bound to come.

SITKA

Louis Shortridge was called
 from Sitka to Haines to be neal
 John Y. Benson who is reported
 to be very sick. MT. Benson i! one of the prominent citizens o. Klukwan and is getting along 1T years. It is hoped that he will re- cover and again enjoy gooc health.
 Louis Shortridge is acting Cur ator of the North American sec tion of the Museum of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, a de- serving promotion after twenty years of faithful and continuous service.
 Andrew Hope has been very busy building his new trolling boat.
 While William L. Paul was in Sitka he went out to the Sheldon Jackson School and announced the organization of new Quit ters Club No charter members were taken in that first night, but very likely candidates will appear in a short time. The re- quirements are this that the prospective member must be a quitter to join.
 Ralph Young is still out of town searching for the were withall to keep the wolf from the door.
 Peter SimSon is also out of town. The republican delegation were sorry to miss these men.
 A new Public Cold Storage is aborning at Sitka. w. P. Mills again shows that he is pioneer by being the prime mover of this plant. When the plant is finish led, it will mean a greatly in creased business for Sitka. The lhalibut boats and trollers who now journey south to Prince Ru- pert (300 miles) will have a chance to sell their cargoS at Sitka and then to buy their en- tire outfits there. Other towns will have to step on the gas if they want to keep their trade Sitka has been handicapped by being off the direct trade route of regular steamship service; but with a public cold storage plant lat hand, this handicap will be overcome.

FRANK A. ALDRICH, DEAD

Frank A. Aldrich, aged 73 years, veteran pioneer of Alas ka, died last Saturday at the Alaska Pioneers Home, Sitka as the result of a stroke of appo- plexy which he suffered last June at Yakutat.
 Funeral exercises and inter ment took place at Sitka. The Republican nominees, headed by Judge Wickersham attended the funeral and paid their last respects to Frank, who had been a political associate of these men for the past ten years. MT. Aldrich was Democrat , but in 1920 he joined the Repub- lican party to which he remain ed true until his death. In the Territorial Senate in which he served he was like the Rock of Gibraltar, moving not with the winds and storms and pressure of the opposition. His word was as good as a bond. For his un- swerving steadfastnass to prin- ciples and friends he was humil- lated and made to suffer but he f1inched not and remained true to the end. Alaska has lost 8 good citizen.
