FRED HILDERBRAND
INQUIRED ABOUT
Mr. W. B. Sharpe,
U. S. Deputy Marshal,
Ketchikan, Alaska
Dear Sir:
I have to request that you will
cause an investigation to be made as
to the whereabouts of one Fred
Hildebrand, of this city, who may be
somewhere in your precinct. I am
advised by his wife that Mr. Hilde
brand left Juneau about Sept. 1st for
Petersburg, with the intenion of lo
cating farm land somewhere in that
section.
On September fifth Hildebrand
wrote his wife from Petersburg
that he would be home in about n
week. On September seventh he
told John Gauffin, in Petersburg,
that he was going to Wrangell, and
might stop at Ketchikan. Since that
time, however Mrs. Hildebrand has
had no word concerning him, al
though she has written letters to
Wrangell and Ketchikan. She thinks
that, possibly, her husband may have
gone to Farragut Bay, or some other
point in his search for land, and that
he may have been stormbound in the
meantime.
The missing man is 64 years old.
feet seven or eigth inches in
height, smooth shaven, complexion
dark, hair streaked with gray, eyes
blue or gray; weight 175 pounds.
When he left Juneau he wore a dark
brown suit of clothes, a white shirt
and collar, with a black tie; and a
stiff hat. He also had a black broad
cloth overcoat. He wore a small
diamond ring on one of his fingers,
and carried a gold watch. He also
took with him a suitcast containing
some clothing; a small tent, blank
ets, and a pair of rubber boots.
Would you kindly have a search
made of the hotels to see if a man
by that name had registered, and en
deavor, if you can, to find some trace
of him should he have been in Ket
chikan, and communicate your re
sults to this office either by tele
gram or letter, as soon as possible.
I am,
Yours Truly,
J. F. A. STRONG,
Governor.
Oct. 26, 1915.

The unsettled condition of the
wheat market today makes it prac
tically impossible for the mills or
merchants to protect themselves in
buying wheat or flour with any de
gree of accuracy. The market has
been going up, then down slightly,
and yet advancing until the mills
have had to advance flour again.
Still flour is within a few cents
today of what it was when the war
commenced. There are many larger
mills in the East, but It Is conceded
that on the Pacific coast is located
j America’s finest flouring mill. The
! state of Washington is not a hard
wheat producer, but no state in the
Union produces a better soft-wheat
flour than is milled under the ART
brand from the Washington-grown
blue stemwheat. Adv.

INDICTED FOR OBTAINING
FRAUDULENT PASSES
NEW YORK, Oct. 28—The feder
al grand jury at a recent session re
turned two indictments against men
of high rank; it was learned today.
One was against Franz Rintelin,
a German official, who left the
United States a short time ago, and
the other against A. D. Meloy, a
real estate operator, charging them
with conspiring to defraud in obtain
ing passports with which they could
safeguard their journey back to the
fatherland.
It is said that Rintelin finally
left the country on a Swiss passport.
The news that an indictment had
been brought against him, led to a
persistent rumor that he would
never be brought back here for the
reason that he had been shot by
military authorities in London.
