RAGAN IS KILLED
BY ASSASRIN
Steve Ragan, assistant Unitejj States
attorney at Ketchikan, haa been* foully
murdered, hia assasin being one Pat
rick Shanahan. Reporta from the pan
handle metropolis are to the effect that"
Shanahan had no grudge against Ragan
whatever, except that he was a man of
intell gence and an officer of the court.
Shanahan is said to have remarked that
it was about time he killed someone,
Ragan happened to be the victim. It
might have been anyone else^ in fact
there are several men against whom
Shanahan had made threats because of
their connection with a lawsuit in which
he was implicated some time ago. But
when he went out to kill someone, the
degenerate appears to have chosen the
first man of prominence he came across
without regard to anything that had
happened in the past.
Reading between the lines rets one
fn umnHorinor tirVitr Shanahan uraa not
locked up long ago. He was known to
carry a gun and to have made gun plays
in Rupert ond other places.' He was
known to have been free with threats
in Ketchikan, in fact a warrant was
sworn out against him for carrying con
cealed weapons, bnt was returnen un
served. Walter Sharpe, deputy United
States marshall at Ketchikan, is known
to have been asked to disarm Shanahan
and refused to do so. And after the
murder it was not Sharpe who took the
murderer into custody, but H. J. Wal
jaceand Earl West officers of Wrangel.
People are wonedring what a deputy
United States marshall is for, anyway.
But meanwhile, a good man is in his
grave, the victim of an unnecessary and
entirely preventable tragedy. Recrim.
ini tions cannot restore him to his wife
and babies.
This district was treated to the first
snow of the season Thursday and it has
been coming down intermitantly since
then. However, old-timers say that it
will not stay on.
Wires Are
Down
The last form of the Hyder Alaska
.Miner was held up till the last minute
and then some, in the hope that the
man wnom the Canadian government
have hired to keeb their telegraph line
up through a couple of hundred miles
of mountains would get his job done by
night, but to no avail. The snow was
too deep for the poor fellow, so no tel
egraphic news came in. Which makes
us wonder why the Canadian govern
ment at Ottawa doesn’t put some re
turned soldiers on the job and keep the
line up.
However, the people of this camp
should worry. The mail comes here
once a week whether we want it or
not, and we can wiggle along if neces
sary without knowing how the rest of
the world is wagging.
Keep smiling!
Boost for Hyder!
Perhaps we will have a telegraph
line of our own some day.
