JUNEAU. Deo. 21 ? Attempt was made uyou the life
of Hurt Faulkner last night, after almost exactly similar
methods as employed with success in the case of former
Governor Steunenburg of Idaho, except that instead of a
bomb, a revolver was used.
Burt Faulkner is chief deputy in the oflice of Marshal
?houp, filling the place made vacant recently by the re
signation of Chief Deputy \V. H. McXair. He has been
deputy under Maislial Shoup for some years.
Mr. Faulkner has been occupying the residence of Gov
ernor Hoggatt since that official left for Washington. He
was going to his home last night at 9:15. As he approached
he saw a string dangling from the gate. He says he thought
he was being made the subject of a practical joke at the
hands of some friends. He handled the string gently how
ever, followed it up to where, to his genuine surprise, he
found it attached to a 38-calibre Smith <fc Wesson, firmly
secured by straps to the pickets of the fence in such posi
tion that if fired it would send a bullet into a man entering
through the gate, and striking him just above the hip. The

[safety lock on the revolver was tied back with a string. A
string followed from the trigger to the gate in sncli a man
ner that opening the gate must discharge the gun.
Mr. Faulkner climbed the fence and called up Marshal
Shoup and Marshal Mulcahy, Theu he took the gun off
the gate.
What motive anybody should liave in attempting the
life of Faulkner, nobody seems to know. The whole mat
ter is surrounded by mystery. Some are inclined to believe
that it was an attempt by Japanese upon the life of Faulk
ner's Japanese cook. The night was very dark and it was
raining at the time. Marshal Shoup is making a thorough
investigation.
