Accusing Tom Jimmy, Frank Jlmm
Peter Brady and John Esop, all nal've
of holding him up. John Pender had
warrants issued for the arrest ot the
men last Saturday night lie claimed
they had robbed him of three guns, a
watch and a jug ot liquor.
The men were arrested by Deputy
Marshal Holmes and brought to trial
Monday before Judge Odell. An ex
amination showed that Pender's story
could not be verified and he was in
turn arreted by Marshal Holms, and
charged with selling liquor to Ind
ian*. He was found guilty and bound
over to the grand Jury.
Heronen, the partner of Pender,
who was also accused. demanded a
separate trial and was cleared of all
suspicion of the crime. ? Haines Pio

I hat such fine borne* are produced
no where else in the world.
Charlie An way. Kd Adams, Henry
Andes, Mrs. George Hinchman aud
several others have extensively raised
strawberries this summer and sold

The berries grow to a groat siae,
are luscious, and grow in profusion.
I* is quite possible that in a few yeai
crates and crates of berries from Hal
es and other points in Southeastern
Alaska, will be shipped to Seattle for
sale. Certainly there are bo berries
from the sound points that can com
pare with the Alaskan product?
