DR. CAMPBELL OF
COFFEYVILLE IS
SEWARD GUEST
ACCOMPANIED BY FAMILY, KAN
SAS DOCTOR HAS GREAT TIME
ON PRESENT ALASKAN TRIP.
SPENT TIME AT LAWING
Visitor in Seward Tells of Famous
Last Raid of the Dalton Brothers
Gang.
The additional pleasure in touring
Alaska was that of meeting so many
former friends, now residents of the
Territory, whom he was well ac
quainted with in the "East, stated
Dr. C. F. Campbell, who with Mrs.
Campbell and daughter, Mildred, ar
rived in Seward Sunday from Law’
ing, where they had been spending
a few days following completion of
the Golden Belt Tour.
Second Trip to Alaska
This is Dr. Campbell’s second trip
to the Territory, but his first to this
district and so delightful and full of
interest has been the journey, that
the family are emphatic they will re
turn sometime again. Three years
ago Dr. Campbell made the South
eastern Alaska trip to Skagway, and
thence into Yukon Territory over the
White Pass and Yukon railroad.
This time the family came to Cor
dova from the South, making the
Richardson Highway trip out from
Chitina. The overland journey was
magnificent, it was stated, with ideal
weather conditions all along the
route of travel. At Fairbanks Dr.
Campbell met Dr. Romig, whom he
knew at Coffeeville, Kansas, where
the Campbells reside. Dr. Romig
was raised ten miles from the Kan
sas town, made famous by the Dal
ton brothers last raid. At Anchor
age Ted Bedell was met, quite by
accident. With Bedell, former news
paper publisher at Anchorage, Dr.
Campbell had a fine visit, talking
about the old times wThen they play
ed football together on the same col
lege team. Bedell only weighed 135
pounds at that time, and played end,
and according to Dr. Campbell, there
never had been a more fleet-footed
football player than this same Be
dell. Both played on the old Baker
University eleven. Dr. Campbell
was a substitute his first year, but
the following year led the eleven as
captain.
Dr. J. B. Beeson, consulting physi
cian and surgeon at the Alaska Rail
road hospital at Anchorage, and Dr.
Campbell, put in four years together
at the Rush Medical College. While
in Anchorage Dr. Campbell had the
honor, he said, of assisting Dr. Bee
son with a surgical operation. He
intended to stay over in the Inlet
City for some time, especially for the
purpose of playing a round of golf
with his old friends, but time did not
pci 1111 l*
Dalton Brothers Last Raid
It was thirty years ago, Dr. Camp
bell informed the Gateway repre
sentative, when the last raid on this
earth of the famous Dalton broth
ers’ gang of highwaymen and train
robbers, took place at Coffeeville.
Bob and Grant Dalton were killed
outright by the posse and Emmet
Dalton was so badly wounded, after
escaping out of town, he was later
captured when he fell off his horse,
weakened from loss of blood. Two
other bandits, members of the band,
were also killed during the raid, one
of them being Bill Broadwell.
Riding into Coffeeville one morn
ing, the gang quietly slipped into
one of the banks, where they stuck
up the cashier, who had just come
on duty. The cashier told the^Pal
ton brothers the safe worked on a
time lock and could not be opened
for at least a half-hour, so the gang
sat down to wait. In the mean
time news of the robbery had spread
about town with the result the citi
zens of the town got together, direct
ed gun fire at the bandits inside the
bank building. During the exchange
of shots three civilians were killed
in addition to four bandits. When
speaking of Coffeeville, Dr. Campbell
said everything apparently dates
back to the time of the Dalton boys
last raid, which, as years have roll
ed by, has given the now flourishing
city, much publicity.
Accompanied by his family Doctor
Campbell left Seward for Seattle on
the Northwestern.

ON TRAIL WORK CHUGACH
NATIONAL FOREST
The Lost Lake trail, where mainte
nance work has been carried on for
some time past, is now completed, ac
cording to forest ranger Martin Kilian,
who was in town a few days ago. The
trail work at Hope in the Chugach
National forest, has been delayed
considerably this year, owing to the
big fire of last month. About the first
of the month bridge work at John
son’s Pass, Mile 34, will be started.
This trail is about 21 miles long and
is in fairly good condition with the
exception of the bridges which will
be repaired, and where new ones are
needed they will be put in. Several
culverts will also be dug in at vari
ous points.
By a phonographic attachment for
telephones, messages are automatical
ly recorded although no one is pres
ent when the call is made, the de
vice saying to the person calling: “No
one is in, but you may leave the
a message.”

Hotel Plans to Install
Hot Air Blast Furnace
A hot air blast furnace is among
the many improvements slated for the
Overland Hotel, according to Mrs. N.
Wanamaker, who took over the ho
tel the first of the week. This fur
nace will be installed in the basement
under the main lobby. In the past a
large coal heater has been doing the
work. The modern laundry located in
the basement of the hotel will be put
into service again with an experi
enced laundry man in charge. Mrs.
Wanamaker announces special attrac
tive weekly rates will he given to
steady roomers. At the present time
there are 46 rooms, all neatly furnish
ed in the hotel.
MAY MOVE TO JUNEAU
Paul L. Stump, an oldtime resident
of Seward, arrived on the Alaska for
the purpose of looking up a home for
his family who will join him here the
latter part of the month. The Stumps
have two sons who will graduate from
high school next year and Mr. Stump
says they desire to graduate from an
accredited school and for that reason
it is more desirable for them to put
in their last year in the Juneau high
school than continue at Seward w'hich
has not an accredited high school—
Juneau Empire.
The Alaska lodging house is under
going interior and exterior repairing.
Concrete stairs have been construct
ed outside and an excavation for a
heating system is now being dug.
The rooms inside have been com
pletely renovated.
