 As United States Marshal Albert White was looking over the yard around the Federal jail building Wednesday, he was approached by an Indian whom he did not know and greeted with: T understand you are looking for me, Albert"
 I'm not, but maybe my depu- ties are," replied the Marshal What have you done?"
 T stole a sealskin. needed shoes, so I stole the sealskin and made them,' said the Indian, and gave his name Jacob Kanosh. I'm ready to be put in jail," he added
 He got his wish. The Marshal turned to Jailer Rudolph who was standing nearby and told him to let Kanosh in the institution, and telephone the office to see if there was warrant out for him.
 There was. Today Kanosh ap- peared before United States Com missioner Charles Sey, pleaded guil- ty, and was fined $200. He will serve out the fine at the rate oi $2 per day.
