Good morning Mr. Rdltor:
.My nick name is Chippy, last Sat
urday week I was arrested bv Marsh i
Mcljine in the afternoon abont " o'
clock at Haines and brought to Skag
way Hefore Judge LeFevre acused 01
giving a bottle of whisky to .lor Wilis
kers a Indian at Haines.
I had a telegram sent to Haines
for an atorney. Walking is bad bt
tween here and Haines and the lllgg
only makes 2 trips a week so I could
not get one. Monday I was brought
up before Judge LeFevre. I ask for
a atorney but the judge over ruled
me and started to set busy, it looked
bad for me. but 1 will say this much
Judge LeFevre made a hit with me!
and I believe he is a fair and square
and honest man and anyhow lie has
iny best wishes from now on.
Marshal McLane is also a nice man
and I believe a good man and under
stands bis business. I wish I could
say as much for the people who ribed
up this charge 011 me. They tried to
scandalize me before Judge LeFevre
mil a nice looking lad> hoo \\:ts I:
?bulge LoPcttos office
Mr. Jensen said he saw ra :i\
whisky to an Indian. Ho was 200 foe'
away and it was dark. He sod ho did
not smell or taste the bottle. Mr M<
Lane the minister was another witw
against me but he was not so bad ono
tiling sure he is a truthful man for 1
ask him if ho ever saw me give \rhi:
key to an Indian and ho s 1 no. So
he told the- truth and ho has my l>est
wishes for that. 1 now t?'li< v. him to
bee a good man.
Well, the judge ask me if I wi?vd
to jnake a statement but I wav- 1 the
statement, the Judge put n." under
five hundrod dollars bonds. 1 am
now in Jale waiting my 11 id.- T'.o
jaler here is a very nice man and is
very kind to me but. I hop? *oineon
will go my bonds for I h ? | r *
jncts for tli<' summer and tli m
that goes my Bor.ds will i ? v.-r quit
I
and hoping they had a good ti o S
Patricks day 1 am respectful? .
How would you like to bo appointed
to u position which pays the munifi
cent salary of $10 a year and for
which you can bo fined for not
accepting?
That is what will happen to some
citizen of Haines in the near future.
Tlie law provides for the office of
ro.ul supervisor, who has the collect
ing of the road taxes of eight dollars
for each citizen and directs the work
ing out of the taxes if they are not
paid in cash. The road supervisor
is allowed but ten days work at four
dollars a day. according to the law.
lie may also be fined $L\"> by the fed
oral court if In- refte ? to :??< ;>t r 1
appointment.
James McQuinn of Haines, who i*
road supervisor for tin* Skngwav r?
cording district made his report l" I
S. Commissioner I.-!'. >
It showed that 136 citizen* worked
out their road tax at two da; ? api'1' ?
that $264 were collated in t.sh ami
that was disbursed leaving a l>a<
auce of $ l_.
Judge LeFevre will appoint a new
road supervisor for the following year
April 1st. and it is rumored that a
prominent Haines citizen is slated for
the office.
