HELD WITHOUT BAIL FOR THE
DEATH OF GIRL STRANGLED
WITH HANDKERCHIEF
; SAN FRANCISCO. Nov., 29, (/P)
“I have but one regret—that I did
not go ahead and follow out my
plan to get Clara’s family; father,
sister and mother, as I should have
done. I should have killed them like
rats in a trap that same night..”
Dramatically, but calmly, Ira Kirk,
confessed murderer, ditch digger,
dish washer and itinerate worker;
thus closed his testimony at his I
preliminary hearing before Justice
of the Peace, P. Jackson, in Bur
lingam.
His unexpected statement closed
the hearing and Jackson is holding
without bail on the murder charge.
Clara Brownson, his sweetheart,
was found in the woods a few days
ago, near her home, where she had
been strangled to death with a
handkerchief.
IE0 BOTT DESIRES
TO CHANGE NAME
TERRITORIAL FIOWEI >
“I move that the Alaska Ter- i
ritorial flower be changed from j
the Forget-me-not to the Fire- i
weed,” writes that live young wire I
Leo P. Bott, Jr., of the Botts Ad
vertising Agency, of Little Rock,
Arkansas, in a letter received by
the Gateway in the last mail.
Continuing he says: “I have
made four trips to Alaska, and
have written much about it. On
every trip I have been especially
impressed with the beautiful Fire
weed, but have seen but few For
get-me-nots. It’s true that the
Fireweed grows in British Colum
bia, and in parts of the, States,
but so does the Forget-me-not. I
have never seen Fireweed any- i
where that could equal the beauty
in color, size and form as this
exquisite flower in Alaska, and
I feel that tourists particularly;
are impressed with this glorious
and beautiful flower growing so
much in profusion. The name,
however, should be termed “Fire- j
flower” instead of Fireweed. I
“I hope you will agree with I
me, and so will the other publi
cations, and other influential
powers in Alaska, and that the
Territorial legislature will see fit
to make the change which I be- I
lieve would be most advantageous |
to Alaska from a broad and ad
vertising standpoint.” <
Erickson and Hedberg, two of (
.he best tie-hackers in the Ter- j'
■itory who have been operating 1
tor the last four months about 1
10 miles down Lake Kenai from *
towing, will continue their ac- 1
uvities throughout the winter. 1
