running for the job of attorney
general of t he Territory again.
Everyone knows that he is an hon
est and competent man. One of the
old timers in Chitinn was telling
us toda£ about the time when Frank
Poster was a lawyer here when Chit
ina was just starting to be a town
& had‘lots of wild men &nttiMMer
women,One night a man came back to
his hotel & found, his money gone &
claimed that a certain women with
whom he had been making whoopee,
had robbed him .Foster went right
down to see the woman & told her L'
could fix the matter up for herf r
150.She said she would not pay p.s
she had not robbed the man .Foster
wait to the hotel to see the man
who said he was fobbed & found that
he had gone to bed & had f^und h i s
missing money inside his pants on
taking them off .Mr .Foster thenaftnh
ed back to the woman & told her he
believed he ©ould fix it up for ho*
for $P5.So as mot to have any trou
ble she paid him the $25,we heard.
•Yes,''another man said,"IQ* .Foster
is a smart lawyer alright,but the
trouble with having him for Atty
general a person would never knew
when he would wake up some morning
to find that he had sold Alaska
back to the Russians or Swedes,
without getting permission from
Eo©ver."Another man wanted to be
funny and he said,"! understand
the fish trust* (whatever that is
just as tho any one eould trusj a^
fish)"wants Mr .Foster for Atty
gen'l,because the fish are allwetf
There was a man told us another
awful funny story about what Mr •
Foster did but we don't have room
tc tell it this week.
