HUMAN TARGET WILL RECOVER
As the result of a family quarrel at
Kake Friday afternoon Mrs. Cecelia
Campen is detained in the Federal
.inil and Walter Campen, her husband,
is in St. Ann*s hospital with three
bullet wounds in hia body.
Campen, who is a carpenter of
Knke was brought in to Juneau Sat
urday night on the launch San Juan
with three bullet holes in his body.
Campen had some difficulty with his
wife and in her anger she shot him
three times with a 32-caliber Colt.
One bullet penetrated the shoulder,
another struck him in the middle of
the back and the third in the left
hip. Dr. Henry C. DeVighne was
called in on the case.
The trouble took place at Kake on
Friday afternoon and the wounded
man was taken ns quickly as possible
to Petersburg. On finding it impos
sible to give him proper treatment
there he was rushed to Juneau and
taken to St. Ann’s hospital. The man
does not seem to be in a very serious
condition and is able to talk and
move. His wife was with him yester
dny, and whatever their difference
was both say that they have "made
up” now.
A complaint signed by Deputy Mar
shal M. Kildall of Petersburg was fil
ed this morning with United States
Commissioner J. B. Marshall charg
ing Mrs. Campen with shooting wtih
intent to kill. Tho woman Is under
arrest and will appear for a hearing
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. The
time for a henring may be extended,
however, depending upon the condi
tion of Mr. Campen.—Empire.

TDEADWELL WINS AND
BASEBALL SERIES EVENED
Treadwell, July 26—Yesterday’s
hnll game between the Juneau and
Treadwell teams on the local grounds
was a hummer. A fair sized crowd
wns in attendance and the weather
was good although the sky was
cloudy. The game was in doubt un
til the last Juneau man was out in
the ninth inning, leaving the score
3-2 in favor of the home team. The
game was good from every stand
point. It started out like a pitcher’s
battle, but wound up with enough bit
ting and base running to keep the
crowd on its toes.
The teams are now tied as to the
number of games won by each so far
in this season’s series. Each team
has won eight gnmes and one game
wns called on account of darkness
when the score wns 1 to 1. The tie
will be played off at the end of the
season if it is necessary for a decis
ion.—Empire.

LANE MAT TRY
NORTHWEST PASSAGE
Seattle.—Should the ice conditions
be favorable, an attempt will be made
by the Polar Bear, which left Seattle
March 23 for northern watery to pass
through the Northwest Passage and
on down to Boston, according to a
letter received from Lome Knight,
one of the members of the crew, by
his father, J. I. Knight, of Seattle.
The Polar Bear left Seattle on a
whaling and walrus expedition, under
the command of Captain L. Lane. He
is regarded locally as an able seaman
and a competent man. Should he be
successful in making the passage, li-»
will be the first to pass th'ough from
the west. Amundsen made the trip
through from the east in 1908.
At Nome three of the crew of 12
that left Seattle deserted and have
not returned, according to young
Knight. This leaves the Polar Bear
short-handed, but not sufficiently
crippled to prevent the trip if ice
conditionrs are favorable.—Seattle

CHANGE ITS NAME
_________________ I
While at the new town of Anchor
age recently Gov. J. F. A. Strong said
that he would like for the people of
that city to change the name of their
growing little eity to eomething that
would have a broader meaning than
“Anchorage.” The anggeation has
caused a great deal of comment, and
nil classes of people are becoming
interested in a new name for tho new
est city in Alaska.
Among the namea that have been
suggested are “Matanuska,” “Alaska
City,” “Terminal,” “Woodrow,”
and “Wilson City”.
Mean Suggests Matanuska
In a letter to the Cook Inlet Pio
neer. Lieut. Frederick Mean of the
railroad engineering commission, sug
gested “Matanuska,” saying that
the town that will be established at
the coni fields could then be called
“Chickaloon.”
Tho letter follows:
“Following the expressed wish of
the Governor that a new name be giv
en to the town of Anchorage, ‘Matan
uska’ is suggested as being appropri
ate because of the geographical posi
tion of the town in relation to the
coal fields.
‘ ‘ This will doubtless be the ship
ping point for Matnnuska coal and
ig n name well known throughout the
United States, identifying this sec
tion of Alaska.
“Tho town in the coal fields could
be called ‘Chickaloon’ and the junc
tion could be designated ‘Chickaloon
Junction.’
“If this name meets with the ap
proval of the residents, 1 would be
pleased to suggest it to the proper
authorities.
The Cook Inlet Pioneer has kindly
consented to receive votes on this
name and publish the results in next
week’s issue. ’ ’

NERVE OF AN OUTFIELDER.
A Great Moral Baaaball Play Away
Baok In 1869.
“The greatest baseball play I
ever saw,” writes \Y. ,1. Lampion in
the American magazine, "occurred
in the autumn of 18(59, that year
when the famous Hod Stockings of
Cincinnati played every leading club
from Maine to California without
losing a game and tying once (17
to 17) with the Haymakers of Troy,
N. Y., a club which it had previous
ly defeated.
"1 was a boy in those days at
Portsmouth, 0., and we had a club
which had put it all over everything
in our neighborhood as the Red
Stockings had put it all over the
United States, and we were some
proud of our record, just as the
Reds were of theirs. Ours was good
enough for the Reds to take notice,
and they came up the river to play
us after walloping everythings else
in the country. We thought they
would lick us, but as the game pro
gressed we began to think different
ly, and when at the ninth inning the
score stood 37 to 3(5, as I remember,
in our favor, Portsmouth’s blood
began to surge and every backbone
there felt the tingling of strained
nerves.
“The Reds may have thought they
would have fun with Portsmouth
when they came, but they had
changed tneir minds now. In the
ninth they got three men on bases,
but they had two men out and
Portsmouth stock was going up fast.
So was the excitement. Then
George Wright took the stick and
every Portsmouth heart stood still.
Would he or wouldn’t he? He did,
and the ball soared heavenward, as
they did in those days, and curved
down to the weeds in the far left
field. We had never thought a ball
could be knocked that distance, and
the weeds had been left to grow.
“Our left fielder was Lute Huddle
ston. a fine player and a fine fellow,
and Lute head*) for the ball,
Wright in the meantime hitting the
bags all around and bringing in
three men. Huddleston went down
in the weeds with the ball and
everybody thought he had it all
right. Portsmouth broke loose in
a crazy bedlam as Lute came up
out of the ruck with the ball in his
hand; the Red Stockings stood stiff
betwixt doubt and fear, and the
umpire held up his hand to hear
from the fielder, for he alone knew
what the answer was.
"Portsmouth was screaming with
joy and yelling it to their player
who had defeated the unconquer
able Reds; the unconquerables were
beginning to droop, and then Hud
dleston stood up straight and shook
his head. He nad not caught the
ball. Nobody knew except himself
whether he had or not, and it was
up to him to lie.for victory or tell
the truth for defeat. He had the
strength of character under extraor
dinary circumstances to be square.
The next Red to the bat went out,
and when Portsmouth came to the
plate the Reds got together for all
they were worth, now that they had
learned how close i^.call they had
had, and the game closed, 40 to 37
in favor of the champions of the
United States.”
