Later he operated trading posts in the interior and became one of the most widely known Alaskans of his time. Every one. it seemed, knew Karl Theile and had a good wordfor him. Tn 1912 he was U. s. Commissioner at Iditarod and up until his final de- parture this fall from the Interior, was often hailed affeettonately as Judge" by friends and acquain- tances of those early days.

He suffered a severe illness last June while in the north, and spent some time in the Kotzebue hospital but recovered sufficiently to return to his mining claims and work them throughout the season.
 With Kittilsby, Theile returned to his home in Wrangell the middle of November joining his wife and daughter. They went south, as was their custom each winter, Theile planning to have an operation to further improve his health. But the operation was not performed His death came as a sudden shock last Saturday.

 The draft caught Oliver, central figure in last years stormy finish of the U. s. open championship, just as he was about to tee of on the second nine of his opening round in the 5000 Oakland Open Golf Tour nament. r.
 A messenger boy elbowed his way through the crowd and showed a telegram into Divers hand. It or dered him to report to his draft board on January 15 for military service.
 Turning to his partners, Earl Fry and Johnny Revolta, Oliver shook hands with each.
 T thought I was below par on that" he said of his draft number. 'Ill see you fellows later, I've got to be going.
 And before the gallery was aware of his dramatic exit, he had changed his clothing, tossed his bags in his automobile and headed east without bothering to turn in his card, which, incidentally included a birdie on the ninth.
