AN OlTRAOf
Prominent Mining Man Sob
j^c.ed to Serions Wroug
( ?
J. J. Rutledge, the Klondike mining
man, who is at the Pul'en house pend
ing tbe departure of the Jefferson, is
indignant because of the capias that
was served upon him at Whitehorse.
He contends that it was an outrage and
he possesses proof, fully justifvsng him
in his position.
before one can be legally subject to
the capias in Yukon territory, as in
Alaska, he must be attempting to
escape from the country for the pur
pose of defrauding creditors. Mr.
Rutledge denies than a single one of
these elements applies tojhim. He left
Dawson in the general oourse of his
business, as he dots once or twice a
year, tearing interests that will require
his attention again early next season.
Before leaving he paid every bill, big
and little, that was due, amounting, all
told, to $398!? 41. in substantlatiou of
this claim, Mr. Rutledge exhibited to a
representative of the Daily Alaskan
tbe receipts for money paid. All of
the?e receipts bear dates within a week
of Mr. Rutledge's departure from Daw
d?son. They were for sums as follows:
^1150. $38 25. *>.25. $27, 13, 1300, 1250,
15.06, >50, $2, $!5, $50, #1 50. $8, $2,000,
J400, $23, $15, *45, $30, $5.23, $204,
?14.
In addition to the foregoing receipts
Mr. Rutledge bss a receipt from A.
Moeier, the man who swore oct the
capias, showing that nothing is due
him no* and that nothing twill be due
until January 3, 1900. The receipt
reads as follows:
"Dawson, Y. T., Dec. 3, 1906.
"Received oa account of two certain
promissory notes, namely, $230, per
sonal, and a note dated 28th July, 1905,
for 150^, tbe sum of one hundred dollars
and I agree to save J. J, Rutledge
harmless from further payments on ac
count of said notes provided that a
balance of $384 is paid monthly at the
rate of $100 per month from thia dale.
Time to be the essence.
?'Frank J. McDougal,
"Solic tor for A. Mosler."
To an unbiased man it would seem
that if Mr. Rutledge intended to de
fraud his creditors he would have saved
the $4,000 he paid out that last week in
Dawton. If he were not tryittf? to de>
fraud his creditors then Mr. M osier's
claim was not due or subje t to collec
tion under any circumstance.
IDR. L. S. KEILEH,
DIPLOMAT, ETC.
Probably no man comes to White
h >rse whose visits are as welcome as
I tQose of Dr. L. S. Keller, of Skagway.
I He does not tish enough to deplete our
! streams of the tinny tribe and as a
huntJr he aeals leniently with our rab
I its. As an international diplomat he
is pre-aminently successful, cementing;
as be does the tics of love and friend
ship which bind two great and rapidly
growing nations. Bis ideas on affairs
of state are revelations of wisdom and
his heart to heart talks with mothers
are of incalculative value and become
household words in our nurseries.
The doctor, having completed his
diplomatic ministtr plenipotentiary
work for Whitehorse, will leave tomor
row for Skagway.
In the language of the country cor
respondent, we most heartily say:
??Blow back, Doc." ? Whitehorse Su r

ways of proving this Ask one of the

HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When It la Free of Dandruff, It Grow*
Luxuriantly.
Kalr preparations and dandruff cures,
is a rule, are sticky or Irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
DandrufT Is the cause of nine-tenths of
ill hair trouble, and dandruff Is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand
ruff Is to kill the germ; and. so far, tha
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ Is Newbro's Herplcide?
