ENCOURAGING MOVE

Announcement that President Hoover will hold over until Fall, Alaska appointments of those of ficials two Judges and four Mar shals-sounds rather encouraging to friends of the incumbents whose terms have expired. Local ly, supporters of Marshal Sullivan are leaving no step unturned, due to the opposition, with the view q endorsing his reappointment.
 This Division will welcome the arrival this summer, from Wash ington, of an Assistant Federal Attorney who, it is reported, is coming North in connection with these reappointments. The rep resentative from the Attorney Generals office will discover Mar shal Sullivan holds the esteem of at least 90 per cent of the citizens of this Division.
 Which should be sufficient.

 We can also think of two great rational disgraces; the first IS the present cry law and the sec ond is, permitting MT. Wilson 70 run about without a muzzle.

ant of the valorous Miles Standish OF
covered the two women in the cabin,
entered it and dragged them out.
Standish saw them rushing their pris-
oners along the trail up the hill to a
place where they had two horses.
They tried to place the women on
these mounts and easily seated Jane
McCrea on one. But fat old Mrs.
Mcneil was different proposition
and, try as they could, the savages
could not lift her into the saddle.
Meanwhile the others led Jane Nc
Crea away and, as she and her cap
tors passed near the spot where STAN
dish was held captive, he saw two of
them engaged in an angry dispute.
Suddenly one of them turned and shot
her from the saddle, scalping her as
she fell. Then, according to their saw
age custom, they stripped her of the
wedding finery, in which she was 60
ing to meet her lover, and mutilated
her body horribly. They then contin-
ued on to Burgoyne's camp, where
they told what had happened and ex-
hibited her scalp.
While this was taking place fat old
Mrs. Mcneil was having her troubles.
Although she had not been injured by
her captors. they had stripped her to
a single undergarment and in this she
appeared in camp where the Indian
turned her over to her cousin. General
Fraser. That officer was much EN-
barrassed, for he was not able to find
in camp any women's clothes large
enough for Mrs. Mcneil. Finally, out
of his own wardrobe, he produced a
great coat large enough to cover her.
All the while he was forced to listen
to torrent of abuse from the irate
old lady because of her treatment at
the hands of his "rascally Indians"
But this comic aspect of the affair
soon became tragic one when Jane
McCrea's scalp was shown to her.
She recognized it at once, as did David
Jones, who then learned of the fate of
his bride-to-be. Upon being informed
Of what had taken place, General Bur-
goyne Immediately held an inquiry, or
dered the Indians to hand over the
murderer, put him under arrest and
announced his intention of executing
him. But st. Luc, the French Cana
dian leader of the Indian allies, in
formed the general If he did that the
Indians, who were already resentful of
Burgoyne's efforts to restrain them

been committing against the settlers

savages. OF course, they were ignor-
ing the fact that during the wars with
the French the Colonists had been
glad enough to have the aid of In
dams, over whom they had little more
control than had Burgoyne over his
allies. They were ignoring, too, the
fact that early in the struggle fur
freedom, they themselves, had solicit
ed the aid Of Indians and even then
so-called Christian Indians from Stock
bridge Mass, were fighting on their
side. But propagandists then, as ever
since that time, have not always been
concerned with telling the whole truth.
Burgoyne had hoped that not only
active Loyalists, but those whose al
legiance was doubtful would rally to
his army as it advanced. When he
captured Ticonderoga so easily, it was
such blow at the Patriot cause that
it began to look as though the whole
rebellion might collapse, especially
since there were so many Colonists
who cared little for either king or
congress and wanted only to be al
lowed to continue in their peaceful
pursuits. But the unpublished murder
of Jane McCrea made even those, who
might be inclined to swear allegiance
to the crown and receive certificate
of loyalty, waver. If the bride of an
officer in his army was killed by his
savages, what assurance would they
have that anyone would be safe from
his painted demons, they asked them
selves. Among these who favored the
Patriot cause her death helped fix in
them stubborn determination to re-
sist the invader to the end and to
quicken them into action. Remember
