Deputy U. S. Marshal George!
Jones of Hoonah was in Peters
burg during the week in connec
jtion with the disappearance of
! Lonnie Newman of Hoonah early
last spring near Point Adolphus,
j It develops now that Newman
1 and another man had a couple
| of fights over the gentler sex in
i which affair Newman was de
1 fending the woman. While the
j men seemingly made up later,
! undercurrent of rumor among
the native people was that New
man had been murdered. Fol
lowing up various leads, Deputy
Marshal Jones has worked up a
strong circumstantial evidence
case. But without recovering
the body, it is doubtful that the
government can hang a murder
charge on the man Johnson who
was arrested. It is possible that
sufficient evidence will be secur
ed to make Johnson talk.

to the lack of earning of fish
ermen this summer. Stated that
the Haidas of Hydaburg did very
well—those fishing for the Na
kat Corporation—for before the
season closed the manager order
ed his fishermen to load up from
the company traps. Everybody
made a little money and the
people of Hydaburg have a very
j kindly feeling toward the cor
J poration. The reverse is said of
the Libby Corporation, Craig,
Skinner and Eddy, and most of
the P. A. F. corporation, whicn
companies put their men on a
small limit and used fish only
from their traps.

TOO MUCH SUCCESS GOES TO
PUG’S HEAD
-x
There was Jack Dempsey, who
fired the managers who made
him; and Gene Tunney, who
turned victory into howling un
popularity; and Harry Greb, who
trained on the dance floors of
night clubs; and Bill Brennan
who played with the debs of
Fifth Avenue for a season—
And Bill “Cyclone” Hickey,
blood brother of them all, whose
career, as it is set forth in the
all-dialogue Tiffany picture,
'Swellhead,” makes you know
and understand the failings of
his kind, the strength and the
weakness of all the stout-heart
ed boys who crash their way
from poverty to titles and for
tune.
James Gleason heads the cast
of “Swellhead,” playing the role
of . Hickey’s manager, the man
who 'makes him famous and gets
fired when Hickey finds discip
line and training interfering
with whoopee parties with his
rich society friends. Johnny
Walker plays the fighter whose
ego supplies the picture with
its title. Marion Shilling is the
heroine, gorgeous Natalie King
ston is the vamp, Lilian Leighton
plays an Irish comic role and <
other important characters are
portrayed by Paul Hurst, Creigh
ton Hale and Freeman Wood.
“Swellhead” is the feature at
traction at The Coliseum Thea
tre, Saturday night only.
WILL ROGERS IN LIGHTNIN’ ’
-x
On Sunday and Monday at
The Coliseum Theatre will be
seen Will Rogers in “Lightnin' “
the play which held the record
run on the legitimate stage in
New York. In the screen pic
ture, Will Rogers takes the par.t
of the gossipy but good sensed
hick in his own inimitable way.;
“Lightnin’” is an interesting!
character study sketch and the
portrayal of the village charac-j
ter by Will Rogers is the best, so
far, of his efforts on the screen.
The public loves Rogers for his
natural wit, presence and ac
tions on the stage and in this
big picture coming Sunday the,
picture fans will not be disap-j
pointed. i
The supporting cast is very
good so that the picture stands
out as one of the big pictures of
the year.
AN APPRECIATION

We wish to express to our
many friends our sincere and
heart-felt appreciation of the
many kind and thoughtful acts
shov/n us in our hour of bereave
ment, the death of our beloved
one.
