Steel creek was the scene yester
day afternoon of a fatal stabbing
affray. D. L. Squiers, well known
oldtimer of the Fairbanks district,
being the victim, and John Byolof
the alleged wielder of the knife.
Squiers was driving along Steel
creek with a horse and wagon and
had stopped at the Theo. Borak
cabin to exchange a few words
with Mrs. Borak. After leaving the
house and before he had gone far.
Byolof approached Squiers and ac
cused him of stealing some liquor,
at the same time attacking him
with a club which he had held be
hind his back a3 he approached the
wagon. The two men scuffled for
several minutes, with Mrs. Borak
an unwilling spectator. She appeal
ed to them not to hurt each other
and finally ran to a neighbor for
help. When she returned to the
scene Squiers was breathing his
last, with blood gushing from a deep
cut in his neck and two body gashes.
“ The jugular vein had been cut. Mrs.
Borak 'then sent a man to town to
report the affray and the body of
Squiers was removed to town, where
an inquest will be held this after
noon. Byolof was taken into cus
tody this morning to await action
by the coroner’s jury. Deputies are
now making a search for a still on

were making the liquor which caus

on a previous occasion.

DOUGLAS WORK RESUMED
A contract has been entered into
between the Douglas Mining Com
pany and Nick Marks by which the
latter is employed to do a certain
amount of work on the company’s
claims back of Douglas which work
will consist of lengthening a tunnel
which was started some months ago.
Marks is already on the job and will
employ a number of men in the
work.
Excellent showings have been
made in the property and it is con
fidently believed that by continuing
the tunnel a short distance farther
a rich body of ore will be revealed.
A number of Juneau people have
shown their faith in the property by
subcribing to shares in the company
and much interest is felt in the de
velopment of the property, which
is admirably located and from which
ore could be cheaply transported by
aerial tram.

photo studio and contained 26 pic
tures 12x20 inches which were mostly
tinted in oil colors. The presentation
was made by Mrs. F. A. J. Gallwas,
wife of the Douglas mayor, accom
panied by a committee consisting
of the following ladies: Mrs. H. Mc
Evoy, Mrs. G. Laughlin, Mrs. R.
Coughlin, Mrs. Jas. Christoe, Mrs.
P. H. Abbott, Mrs. J. Manley, Mrs.
