Canneries Playing Old
Game on their Hands
A letter was received today fro:
| Andy Grosvold of Sand Point who
states that there is a couple oi mer
on the Starr arriving this week, who
came North for the Union Pish Com
pauy, hired for the station at Pirate
Cove and other places to fish for the
season, but owing to misrepresenta
tions all of the crew has quit, som
throwing themselves on the marshal’s
hands as vagrants to be sent out
at Territorial expense. The two men
arriving at Sand Point have been
making just enough to exist on and
to pay their way from port to port
I to their homes in I lie States.
I Mr. Grosvold declares this is not
'be first time that this has happened
and it should be looked into by pro
pel- authorities. He says the agent
foils them to take their duds and
beat it to Sand Point, any time they
complain.
j Two gangs of Mexicans have been
| • eut in this way and have quit and
I been sent out at Territorial expense
and Mr. Grosvold believes that it is
time it should be stopped.
The men, he declares, are very de
cent fellows and Mr. Grosvold will
appreciate Seward extending them a
hilping hand in the way o' employ
nient.

DEATH REVEALS EX-SOLDIER
O’BRIEN WAS A GIRL
Mary O’Brien, still in her teens, quit
her class in school, cut off her hair, put
on men’s attire and ran off to join the
Republican foces when “the Irish Re
public’’ came into being.
It was only when she was wounded
that her sex was discovered. She
couldn’t shoulder a rifle again but they j
let her stay as a nurse.
The “Black and Tans” tho were on :
her trail. She fled to America and j
Philadelphia, to her uncle’s house. Still |
thirsting for adventure, she determin- !
ed to be a movie actress, put on boy’s!
clothes and started for Hollywood by'
riding the blind bagg-age. It was mid-j
winter and when the train pulled in
to. Cleveland yards she was nearly
frozen. She decided to wait until the:
weather grew warmer before resum
ing hei journey and had no trouble in
landing a job at the Huron Road hos
pital. But the cold she caught on the
“blinds” had done its work. After 3
days’ illness she died of pneumonia.
To the last she refused to tell the
names of any relatives. So they bur
ied her in Potter’s field.
By chance her uncle, George Moran,
learned of her death, had the body ex
humed and sent to Philadelphia. There
the little patriot has found rest at
last .
