11 It Is reported that the famous gold
robbery case of several years ago. In
which a large sum was taken from
\ boxes In transit from Fairbanks to
California, may be re-opened. The
robbery caused a great sensation from
Alaska to San Diego at the time it was
committed. Some of the gang went
to California and there were run down
by the authorities, and run Into cer
tain dives through clues picked up
from attempts to sell the gold In var
ious shops. It was found that a man
and a woman were prominent in the
deal who had been travelers on the
boat, and that associated with them
were two or three confederates, and
i that the gang had given the author
ities much trouble at other times. A
beautiful young woman was claimed
to have been used to beguile the pur
ser who had charge of the gold while
her confederates extracted the gold
and substituted lead in the boxes.
The girl is said to have been in Davi
son several months before the occur
rence, and to have appeared there as
the wife of a certain man supposed
at the time to have been a prospect
ive buyer of Dawson mining property,
but who was found later to have been
a gambler Trom one of the north coast
towns. The two dressed immacu
lately and in the height of fashion
when there, and frequently were seen
out driving in the best rigs and be
hind the finest horses procurable in
Dawson.
The stolen gold in the Humboldt
robbery was shipped from Fairbanks
and passed through Dawson to Skag
way, where it was placed on the Hum
boldt. It is believed to have been
shadowed by the robbers or friends
j of the gang all the way from Fair
| banks.
DEATH OP FAMOUS
| GENERAL TREMEAU
PARIS, May 13—General Tremeau,
| who recently died from injuries re
ceived in an automobile accident, was
virtually commander-in-chief of the
army during the period of his service
of vice president of the higher war
council. He was well remembered by
all the officers who served under him
for his vigor, quickness of decision
and plain way of speaking. After
the annual army maneuvers in 1910
In the Champagne district, he ad
dressed the general officers as is us
ual under such circumstances. He
' started out in the usual honeyed tone
’ and finished as follows;
“Gentlemen,” he said, "If the great
emperor had beep able to come back
among us and witness the maneuvers
that we have just accomplished upon
the scene of his glorious exploits, he
would find that we have borne our
selves in a particularly pitiable mau- i
ner.”
The severity of his criticisms made ,
him a great many political enemies, |
and it was this more than anything
else that brought about his resigna
tion in 1911.

HOT AIR BUDGET
CIRCLE’S NEW PAPER
Over In Circle Is being published
what is probably the most interest
ing periodical. If it may be called a
periodical, in Alaska. It is the Cir
cle Hot Air Budget, printed by the aid
of a typewriter and a mimeograph.
The policy of the paper, as out
lined In its editorial, is to be neutral
in its politics, and to try to agree with
its readers. It has cartoons, some
catchy verse and local items that
would make Bill Nye, were he alive,
sit up and take notice. Here is a
sample of news:
"Laid up for repairs: Jerry floss,
the popular agent of the N. C. Com
pany. was unable to attend the big
dance. Cause—tummy ache.”
“Ijast Thursday eve at the Princi
pal, a most pleasant game of cards
was played and enjoyed by all pres
ent. The game played was pea
nuckle, and was between Archie Muir
and Tom Hunter, it being a draw.
Those presen* were Archie Muir and
Tom'ada Huntre.”
There seems to be some mystery
in regard to who is the editor of the
Hot Air Budget, but there is reason
to believe that J. K. Dodson, the well
known merchant of Circle, has a hand
in its preparation. Here is a sample
of the verse appearing In the Hot
Air Budget:
"Mary had a little shoe,
It made her foot look well.
But when she went out for a stroll.
Her corns gave her—Hail Colum.”
"Mary had a little golve—
Now this is on the level—
But when she went out for a drive.
It pinched her like the —mischief”

POSTAL EMPLOYEES i
WANT MODE PAY
_
LONDON, May 13—The British
postmaster general has definitely re
fused to grant a request of the postal
employees for q war bonus of a dol
lar a week to meet the increased cost
of living caused by the war. The
bonus asked for was to be paid to
workers receiving less than $20 a
week.
The postmaster general stated that
tlie rise in the cost of living Is uot
not by itself a sufficient reason at the
present time, for Increasing wages.
He regards this rise as a burden which
must be shared in common by all
classes in the country. Moreover,
be explains, compliance with this re
quest from the post office workers
would necessitate corresponding
grants to all government employees
of a similar status, and would there
fore impose a very heavy burden on
the treasury.
The postal employees are arrang
ing for a protest meeting with the ob
ject of urging the cabinet to recon
sider its decision.

HOW TO ARGUE
WITH A LEGISLATOR
“Wine, women ami song," character
istically exclaimed Representative
Noon, who lins stood for square a
galnst all vicious legislation which
has been "put over" by the vested In
terests at this session. “It’s damned j
hard to beat that game,” and then he
closed up like n clam.
“I'm a blonde," wrote a Portland
girl to a senator, “and I want a job j
In the legislature.” “If you are a
blonde,” wrote the senator in reply,
“come on and I’ll see that you get a
job.” and as near as we can connect
up the story the Senator kept his
word.
There are rumors of a banquet to
four influential ones which cost, with
frills and furbelows, $75. Practically
every Sunday the members of the leg
islature were the guests of either of
the big mining companies. Big min
ing companies, with plenty of axes to
grind, can afford to be generous hosts.
The representatives of the Alaska
Packers, the spokesman of the can
nery trust, was another generous host.
In appreciation of the jolly midnight
parties in the lower part of town, the
legislators cheerfully ground both axes
of the trust.
The Post hopes that at the next
session -of the legislature a healthy
public sentiment will demand that only
home talent will be employed as
clerks. Alaska girls as a rule are
not lobbyists.—Juneau Post.

BELGIANS CHER
PRISONERS OF WAR
AMSTERDAM, May 13—Seventy
Belgian prisoners, who recently passed
through Bruges in charge of a guard
of German cavalry, received a resound
ing welcome from the Belgian inhabi
tants of the town, notwithstanding
the orders of the German municipal
authorities that no demonstration were
to take place.
The prisoners, who included infan
trymen and engineers, were captured
near Driegrachten. As they passed
down the streets of Bruges, the peo
ple of the town gathered along the
sidewalks. Hats and handkerchiefs
were waved in the air, and there were
shouts of “Vive la Belgigue," “Leve
Belgie" and Leve de Konig.” The pris
oners smiled and answered back
“Courage Comrades.” Meanwhile
the crowd showered them with girts
of fruit, chocolate, sandwiches and
cheese.
While the enthusiasm was at its
height some of the German horse
men charged the crowd. It is said
that the municipal authorities will
assess a tine against the populace for
the unauthorized demonstration.
