LARGE SHIPMENT
SEIZED
Four hundred cases of liquor, be
lieved to be Intended for bootleggers
at Anchorage, was seized at Point
Campbell, at the northern entrance of
Turnagain Aarm, by Deputy Marshal
Evans, of Seward, and brought to Val
dez on the coast guard cutter Unalaga.
This consignment was traced from
Cordova to its hiding place.
. v y
Early in July a rumor reached Mar
shal Brenneman that a large shipment
of liquor was en route north from
California, consigned to parties in this
district. The marshal immediately
instructed his deputies to keep a close
watch for this shipment, and some
time later it was learned that the
shipment, consisting of 398 cases of
liquor, came north on the steamer Ad
miral Watson, and was consigned to
the Nellie Juan Mining Co., at La
touche.
The consignment was intercepted at
Cordova by a well known character
who attempted the release of the ship
ment here, but as he did not have the
necessary wherewithal to liquidate the
freight charges, this was refused. The
liquor was not discharged at Latouche,
and on the return of the steamer to
Cordova the party who had attempt
ed to secure its release before, ap
peared and produced the money to pay
the charges. It was later ascertained
that the money was telegraphed from
Anchorage. With the payment of the
freight the boat released the liquor
and the auxiliary schoner Northland,
w'hich has been at Cordova for the
past two years, was brought alongside
the steamer, and the liquor was taken
aboard that vessel.
Shortly after she sailed out of Cor
dova harbor and was absent for sev
eral days. The information was at
once wired to the marshal’s office at
Valdez, and the deputies to the west
ward w'ere Instructed to keep a sharp
lookout for the Northland, but she did
■ 111 .. "g ■
not show up either at Latouche, Sew- |
ard or Anchorage, and. so far as could
be learned, at any of the Cook Inlet |
towns. A few days later the Northland
appeared in Cordova harbor, but with
out the man who had released the ^
shipment and accompanied it on its
voyage. As questioning the crew of
the Northland regarding the disposi
tion of the cargo would have put the
runners on their guard, nothing was
done in that direction, but the depu-1
ties to the westward were instructed j
to make a search for contraband, with \
the result that a deputy marshal lo- |
cated and seized the liquor at Point |
Campbell.
There he found Harry Fitzgerald
and Otto Osgood encamped on the'
beach. A search nearby uncovered ^
the bottles of whiskey which had been |
taken from the cases and buried in j
three or four different caches. After ^
the work was over it was found that j
6,000 bottles had been uncovered..
The Unalaga arrived just after the
seizure had been made.
When the searching party was
about to leave Osgood and Fitzgerald
stacked their bedding and tent in a
pile and set fire to it, saying “they
were through.”
Investigation is now under way to
find all the details of who financed
the wholesale shipment and whether
or not a conspiracy existed to violate
the law.
Lost—A key ring with three small
keys, fastened to a corkscrew. Finder

The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been due to the fact that the wants of the user have
dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor
of certain improvements now incorporated in Model 8.

1 typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence
has been very nearly attained.
Decimal Tabulator—A help in billing and tabulating.
There is no extra charge for this convenience.
Variable Line Spacer— Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space from point of starting; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Faster Ribbon Feed—Insures new place of impact for each
typeface.
Choice of Carriage Return—Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained
— ball hearing carriage, typebat s and capital shift, back spacer,
key-cont rolled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible
paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.
