TWO MEN SENT
TO MORNINGSIDE
Two men working at the
Kennecott min^s were pronounc
ed insane before the local Comm
issioner and a jury this week
and committed to Morningside
Sanatarium for treatment.
Carl Ohlson who has been
here but a short time was notic
ed to be acting queerly and to be
suffering from hallucinations
that someone was after him to do
him hai m. He was in such a
state of nerves as to render it
necessary to put him under
observation.
Win. Taylor of the Jumbo
Mine also showed the same
symptons but is in a much more
i unbalanced state of mind than
the former. '
McCarthy an *
artist’s paradise
So says Mr. Geo rue D. Hey!
mer, landscape artist, who has
made many trips throughout,
Alaska sk 'telling and painting
its gran-dour.
‘'Upon no place on earth,
says Mr. Bey mer, lias N.ture
lavished her handiwork in such!
’fantastic splendor, from the bea-(
utiful Moral coloring of the moun
tainside to the lai gest ice-fields
on earth around Mount Logan.”
Mr. Beymer’s object in his
Northern trip was to paint Mount
. Logan but lie was arrested by I
: the ice covered slopes of Mount
Blackburn and stopped to put'
ou canvas, “Her majestic head
rearing up to catch the rays of
i sunrise.”
p
J. B. O’Neill is now in poss
■- l
I ession of Mr. Beymer’s canvas of
Mount Blackburn which is in
deed a thing of beauty.
Mr. Bey mer intends going
outside for the winter months
i
| and will poitray McCarthy’s j
local scenery from sketches j
maue here but he says he will
return in bpring to “Pass the'
Summer among our congenial!
companionship and salubrious
Summer climate.”

McCarthy wins
CLOSE GAME
Thursday evening tin Kenn
eeolt Elh> ha-iobili team r.tme
uo v. n t<* do bail lo v\ith the local
nine and went b.ica with their
horns clipped. „
The Elks started strong and
taking advantage of several err
ors on the part of McCarthy
had soon piled up a command
ing iea<l in the first three inn
ings and looked like winners
until a batting rally by McOar
thy in the fifth, which was to
be the last inning put the score
at 8 to 8 and in the extra fra lie
McCarthy got 2 runs while the
Elks garnered only 1.
With nothing at stake the
game was not productive of
much good baseball but provid
ed plenty of fan for players and
spectators. Metzer as umpire
seemed to be somewhat dubious
as to the location of the foul
line and otherwise called down
the wrath of both teams on his
head but seemed to enjoy the
game in spite of all this.
Jim Dennis did a come*back
and it is rumored that the Qian /
ts are sending up a scout to
look him over. Myler Jones also
showed great form but not as
a ball player. Vannie Anderson
twirled for McCarthy and Carls
on for the Elks.
L. A. Levensaler returned
from Dan Creek yesterday and
proceeded to Kennecott on min
ing business.
