Burt Wilson, fireman in the em
ploy of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, on the Nenana-Fair
banks line, was brought to the Gov
ernment hospital this afternoon, suf
fering from a broken leg, the acci
dent having resulted from jumping
from a train across the river, about
three miles out the line.
At the time of going to press,
an X-ray picture of the break was
being taken by Dr. M. E. Smith, to
ascertain the extent of the injury.
It was known at that time, how
; ever, that the injury was a bad one,
■which will require considerable time
■for recovery. The bone was broken
jjust above the ankle.

CLUB RESPONDS
10 APPEAL FOR
WIRELESS HELP
In compliance with a request
from the Fairbanks Commercial club
to co-operate in the effort to dis
suade the war department from
withdrawing: signal corps men from
the Joslin radio stations at Brooks,
McGrath, and Iditarod, the local club
(forwarded a wire to Washington
^is morning, protesting against the
threatened action. The protest was
sent to Delegate Grigsby, with a
request that he make an effort to
! prolong the present desirable ar
rangement.
In his wire to the Fairbanks club,
asking help, Falcon Joslin explained
!that it would be impossible for him
to continue to maintain his stations
should the signal corps operators
be withdrawn. He says it is im
possible to find civilian operators.
: W7ere the Joslin stations to be
closed, the several district in which
the plants are located would be
shut off completely from the rest of
Alaska and the outside world, being
left to depend entirely upon an in
adequate mail service for communi
cation. McGrath and Iditarod would
;be the hardest hit, because of their
remoteness from the regular travel
routes, but the situation would be
very keenly felt also in the Tolo
vana country, which is distant 60
miles from the nearest telephone.

Notwithstanding the fact that
Robert Joseph Diven has spent many j
years of his life in the frontier j
country and has in him a bit of the j
real fighting spirit, as was evidenced j
on more than one occasion during
the trying days of the war, he was \
taken so completely by surprise last I
night that he could offer no resist- ]
ance to the silent attack made upon j
the Presbyterian manse by an over- j
whelming force of friends and mem- j
bers of the congregation, armed with j
lunch baskets and a determination
to spend the evening with him and ;
Mrs. Diven, as a reminder of their;
silver wedding anniversary. The j
doctor sawT the small army ap
proaching, and when the friendly
steps turned in at his door he sur- ,
rendered unconditionally, turning;
both the manse and ,the church over !
to the visitors, who numbered about
fifty.
A very happy evening is reported ’
by all who were “in” on the sur-'
prise. They played games and told '
stories and enjoyed the good things J
to eat which the guests took along
with them. They also had with 1
them a little reminder of the day, |
in the form of a purse of money I
for the purchase of a silver set. 1
The happy couple also received a
gift from their son Kenneth, who
recently left for the States, the j
present being a set of souvenir;
silver spoons, of novel design, with
a nugget set in the handle of each.
OLD PICTURE STOLEN;
PHOTO IS SUBSTITUTED
BOLOGNA, Italy, Aug. 30.—!
Francia's masterpiece, “The Madon-1
na and Child,” has been stolen from i
(the Academia Debille Arts, and a'
colored photograph substituted for
the original. The stolen treasure
dates to the fifteen century.
The picture was stolen on Sunday,
it is believed, but the fact did not!
become known until yesterday, fol
lowing the discovery of the substi
tution.

“
When the steamer Yukon reaches
Nenana tomorrow night or Monday,
the passenger list will show a con
siderable addition of names since
the boat left Dawson several days
ago. The extra passengers were
taken aboard at Xanana, most of
them being members of the court
party, returning from a summer di
vided between Ruby and Flat. The
vessel has less of a cargo in tow,
however, than when the departure
was made from Dawson, fully half
the Dawson shipment having been
transferred to a St. Michael boat at
the army town. The transferred
shipment consisted of a lot of
dredge machinery which is being
sent to India by the Yukon Gold
company.
The passengers who boarded the
Yukon at Gibbon include the fol
lowing: Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Heck
man, Joe Heacock, Chief Deputy Joe
Miller, Attorney L. K. Pratt, Depu
ty Clerk of Court Frank Hall, Miss
Ella Knudsen, Mrs. Haggren, Ed
Wolcot, P. W. McDonald, and Frank
Maki, the last named being a pris
oner enroute to the federal jail at
Fairbanks.
The time of the arrival of the
Yukon at Xenana is somewhat un
certain, owing to the fact that a
considerable quantity of the freight
in tow is to be unloaded at Tolo
vana. The boat left Hot Springs at
7 o’clock this morning.

PARIS, Aug. 30.—The ratifica- j
tion of the peace treaty by the j
French chamber of deputies was ap- j
parently considerably hastened yes
terday when a score of the law-]
makers, who had announced their 1
intention of opposing the treaty on !
the ground that it did not give !
France a sufficient guarantee of j
military protection, waived their!
right to address the chamber.
It is understood now that these
members will support ratification.
