No. 188. ELEVENTH YEAR. SKAOWAY. ALASKA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1908 PRICE, 10 CENTS
The skating rink ia an assured
fact. There was organized last night
at City Hall the Skagwav Skating
Club and the work cut ont at the
meeting looking toward providing
good Ice close In (or all comers is
already well under way. The hall
grounds are to be flooded? what dam
may be necessary to this end to be
put in ? a fid every provision made
for a winter of good sport. L. A,
Harrison was elected president of
the club and James G. Mulroy, of the
road commission office, secretary
t reasurer.
A committee composed of E. -I
Kingsbury, electrician of the White
I'ass and Wallace Grant with Mr.
Harrison, were named to take charge
of the business looking to the fixing
up of the rink. This committee is
to report to a meeting to be held
Monday evening.
Today this committee was about at
tending to the duty entrusted to
it. The Home Power company was
seen as to certain old pipes in Its
possession to be used to convey the
water from the creek down to the
ball grounds In a manner that will do
the work in the best possible sh&po
and not interfere with anybody.
The matter of building the dyke i?
very simple. It will be done in cold
weather when sacks of saw dust can
be used with a little freezing process
that will have the desired effect.
It Is suggested that members of
the club and those who wish to use
the grounds will be provided with
each a small badge which will sig
nify their right to do so or that they
have subscribed an amount that give
them that right with good counte
nance ? say one dollar for the sea
son.
The idea of forming a curling club
also is finding great favor and if the
weather is right there is no doubt
this will develop. Members of the
White Pass club are interested and
say a covered rink could be built
against the east side of the clul>
building with very little cost and thai
would form an ideal rink.
200 YEARS
SEARCH ENDED
WINNIPEG. ? After a most persis
tent .search, lasting nearly two hiui
dre y?ars. which was made by the
Koman Catholic church, a party of
priests from St. Boniface College has
dlscovert-d the remains of Fort St
Charles, built in 1732 by Sleur de
Laverandry. the first explorer of
whom any note is hail to penetrate
the northwest.
The remains of the old fort were
found on an Island in the T?ake of
the Woods, in American territory.
So completely had they fallen iuto
decay and so hidden in the under
brush that it seems- but an accident
they were found at all There can
be no doubt as to their identity, as
numerous inscriptions on stone found
here and there about the ruined
buildings attest to that fact.
The party also discovered the
skeletons of Father Aulnoar and Jean
Baptiste de Laveandry and nineteeu
skulls of the French Canadian voy
ageurs who were massacred by th??
Sioux in l"3fi. An effort is to be
made to secure permission from the
I'nited States to remove the skele
tons and other remains to St. Boni
face. where they will be interred and
their last resting place suitably
marked.

GANTV & FRANDSON
There came to sown yesterday, bv
persons arriving on the Dolphin, an
uncertain story of n shooting scrape
that had happened iu Juneau, on
i Wednesday. An inquiry of the Alas
j kan correspondent in that city for a
| straight recital of all the circum
stances brought the following by wire
today:
Some days ago tlie Daily Record
printed an article reflecting on Ed
Russell and his wife.
Mr. Russell is not in tbo city, having
gone south on a business ti ip to Seattle.
R. L. Colby, acting editor made reply
in the Oispaich editorially in which he
characterized the editors of the Record
as "Ticket-of-leave men," doing the
dirty work of C. M. Summers and L.
P. Shackleford. Mr. Summers is pres
ident of the First National bank and
Shackleford is a lawyer, and they are
alleged to be the backers, one way or
(mother, of the Record. Mr. Summers
resented the reference and called at
the office of the Dispatch at once,
demanding thai, an apology be made.
This was not forthcoming and on
Wednesday Mr. Summers called again
and made a vicious attack on Colby.
After being struck several times Colby
secured a revolver and shot four times i
at Summers in quick succession.
Three of the shots went wild but
one lodged in Summors' breast inflict
ing an ut'ly and painful wound which.
however, Is cot serious.
There have as yet been no arrests.
There is great public feeling over the
matter Bnd while regrets are expressed
that Mr. Summers should have been
involved ii such n ecrRpe, sjmpathy i9
largely with Colby, as the provocation
which brought out the Dispatch edi
torial was admittedly very great.
The whole trouble is blamed on (he
Record, which has devoted itself to
stirring up bad blood in tbe commu
nity.
THIS CAUSED THE SHOOTING
The following is the article in the
Dispatch which caused the shooting:
The two ticket-of-leave men who do
the dirty work of L. P. Shaekleford
and C. M. Summers through the col
umns of an alleged newspaper, have
renewed the attacks on women begun
by the unlamented J. W. Frame.
Judging from the nature of the attacks
on the character of women Indulged
in by these hearties, both of whom
are under bonds to appear in the
Federal court on more or less serious
charges, it would be a reasonable
supposition to believe that they were
foundlings picked up from some
rubbish heap, and raised in nn incuba
tor, and never felt any of the ennobling
influences of woman kind.
