arrived over on last night's train to
seek medical aid for a complaint
which had given him much trouble
and which he did not quite under

a mystery to Mr. Dickenson as was
the complaint.

JUNEAU, Dec. 23. ? The matter of
the attempt upon the life of Deputy
Marshal Faulkner seems to have been
less than a nine day's wonder. While
there is much speculation concerning
the matter from several view points
It Is notable that no reference was
made to It in last evening's Record,
which at first made so much of It.
This in itself has caused much specu
lation to be indulged in in many quar
ters. Less credence daily is placed
upon the matter for what it set up
to be, an attempt at assassination,
but the belief is growing that It was
done for other, though little less dan
gerous purposes ? that of creating
strife and class hatreds.
