WORKED IN ALASKA

The prisoner first came to Amer

Alaska where at various times he
worked in Juneau, Fairbanks and
BaldeZ as a miner, sailor and fish
'erman.
He is said by the FBI to have
left a wake of bad checks from
coast to coast. In 1923 he was
tried for writing a worthless S95
voucher to pay traffic fines in Los
Angeles.
The omission of this prosecution
from 1928 application for enlist
ment in the United States Coast
Guard brought him back to Wash
ington, d. C.. last June to explain
classification of the form. While in
this country he met and married
Miss Sophie Winston.
His Detroit police record, con-
sisting mainly of bad check ar
rests, dates from Feb. IL, 1871,
when he was fined $50 for issuing
"a no-fund voucher.

Mcclure Youth
Shot By Friend
On Hunting Trip

Mack Sutherland and Clyde
Rose, Mcclure youths, went to
Smith Ridge last Friday for
preseason squirrel hunt. They
separated in a dense growth of
woods and started looking for
game. Rose thought he saw
squirrel moving through h
brush and fired and was aston
ished when he heard yells of
pain from Sutherland and found
that he had bagged his compan-
ion instead of a squirrel.
The hunt was abandoned and
the wounded youth, with the aid
Of his friend, made his way
home and to a physician for treat
ment. The wounds proved to be
more painful than serious and he
is expected to recover speedily.
The young men say this was
the only shot fired by either of
them.
The next and final chapter of
what might have been a fatal ac
cident will be written when Rose
appears in court here to answer
a charge of out-of-season hunt
ing, with Sutherland as the wit
ness against him. The court will
probably consider that Suther-
lands wounds were sufficient
punishment for his part in the at
fair, and a stiff fine may be
handed Rose.

HUNTERS BUSY MOPPING
UP SMALL GAME IN
COUNTY THIS WEEK

The squirrel season opened on
Tuesday and will remain open
to and including the 18th of this
month, and will then close till
the beginning of the general
hunting season in November.
Squirrels are reported plenti-
full in parts of the county and
scarce in others. This is attribut-
ed to the fact that hickory nuts
and acorns are to be found only
here and there. Many hunters
are killing the lawful quota each
day.
A man from the eastern side
of the county says that on the
opening day Of the season tWen-
ty hunters were on a small creek
less than mile long in his sec
ton and that all of them came
out with squirrels.
The sales of hunting licenses
has been unusually heavy here
this year and may exceed h e
number sold last year, in spite
Of the fact that hundreds of PEG
pie are absent from the county.
