YOUNG TENNESSEEAN
IS PROBABLY DEAL
Whitehorse.—Marion Darin, a voun;
man ageil 22 years and known :e
“Tennessee,' being from the State of
that name, is supposed to be lost
somewhere along^ the Thirty-mile
river. Davis was employed by Lou if
Belney at wood choping and wa;
living in a cabin on the left limb
of the Thirty-mile about twelve mile
delow the lower end of Lake Le
barge. The last seen of him wa;
when lie visited Williams’ store and
roadhouse at the foot of the Jake
the day before Christmas, December
21. Davis was first missed on Jan
uarv 18 when Mail Carrier Scott ar
rived at his cabin ou the Thirty-mile
and found mail which had been left
in a box for Davis more than two
weeks before. Scott entered the
cabin, the door of which was un
locked. From the appearance of the
cabin no one had been in It for some
time. On looking around Seott noticed
a diary in which the last entry had
been made on the day before Christ
mas. Thinking Davis had gone to
the post at the foot of the lako. Scott
thought little of his absence, but
when he reached the post and was
told that Davis had not been there
since December 24th, suspicion concern
ing the man's welfare was aroused.
Louis Belney accompanied by Henry
Arp, will leave for the wood camp on
Thirty-mile today and will make an
effort to clear up the mystery. The
river is open where Davis was located
and the fact that his boat was left on
the opposite side from the cabin
would indicate tha# he was over
taken by some misfortune while a
eross the river. The letter written
by Davis to Belney on December 24th
told that the writer was getlng along
splendidly at liis work of wood cut
ting. Davis was employed around |
the mess house at the Pueblo last j
summer. He was a steady young man
of excellent habits and was very
popular with all who knew him. ■

ed three years ago by Lee & Brighton

A REIGN OF NO LAW
That In Reality Is What Is Meant
by Martial Law.
SUSPENDS ALL OTHER LAWS.
Those In Command Have Supreme Au
thority, and Thara le No Check Upon
Their Arbitrary Power Over Peraona
and Property of All Kinds.
Wbnt Is martini law? Some people
have a vague idea that It Is military
law. hut tills is a mistake . Military
law has uothing whatever to do with
martial law. Military law is simply
that branch of the laws applicable to
military service and duties, consisting
of the statutes, regulations and prln
elples by which the army and Its af
fairs are governed. The mixunder
j standing has arisen partly from tin
I name given to It and partly front the
fact that it Is the military which fre
quently carry out the regulations,
while often the military forms of
courts are held.
The police, however, if duly author
teed, mny carry out martial law.
It is difficult to define the meaning of
martial law in nontechnical words
The dictionary definition of martial law
is that It is military authority oxer
clsed in accordance with the laws and
usages of wnr when the civil authority
is wholly or partly suspended, either
by proclamation or by the actual pres
enee of n hosttle force. But the best
definition given has been that of "no
law.”
It means that the supreme anthorltj
Is empowered to do as it wills and that
all ordinary laws, for the time being,
have no operation whatever. There are
no Inws dealing with Its application,
those in command possessing entirely
aibltrnry power.
Tills means that there will he a com
plete revolution in the ways of the
people wherever martini law Is pro
claimed. Ail ordinary life will lie nf
fected. and It will no longer lie the
case that “an Englishman's home is
bis castle.”
As a rule, when a place is tinder
ntnrtini law its Inhabitants must clear
out of the streets before a certnin
time every evening, say 8 o'clock
Then all places of amusement, public
bouses and so on are closed entirely.
Even during the daytime a limit Is
made as to the number of people who
may assemble, so that n party of poo
pie—numbering above, say, half n dost
en—would be liable to instaut punish
ment Also certnin places and certnin
streets are forbidden to the people,
who mny be compelled to keep beyond
n certnin radius from the specified
ptnoes.
Those in authority may take any
object they like from anywhere, enter
Ing houses as well as shops to com
mandeer whatever they wish without
any control. Any person may be com
pelled to give a complete account of his
movements, past, present and project
<?d. and may be searched or even ar
rested without a warrant.
Crimes are dealt with very severely
Thus suppose a man breaks a win
dow. Instead of being hauled up he
lore a magistrate and subjected to a
small fine, the policeman would he
perfectly Justified In shooting him 1m
mediately.
So in the case of robbery A man
stealing n purse need not be arrested,
nut could be shot, this being a perfect
ly Justifiable action on the part of
ihose In authority.
Every person might be compelled to
carry a passport, giving full evidence
>f his Identification Passports would
ne necessary In the case of those using
torses or vehicles of any kind. Includ
ing cyrjes.
All persons who were compelled to
ue out at night would be provided
with special night passes signed by
he one In authority. No person would
>e allowed to leave one town for an
■tlier or travel beyond a certain dis
■nnce without being the possessor of
i properly signed passport given for
his special purpose.
The object, of course. Is to keep the
■eople within certain districts and also
0 prevent foreign spies and the like
‘rom moving into the country and so
denning Information of value to our
•nemies.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Printing Point Does Not
BobUs and Down
! In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is stationary at the instant the
type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
down when the shift is made to write capitals.
Why?
1 Because the type is shifted—not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and
forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
and this docs not take place while the print is being
made. There is no lifting of the carriage.
This is one reason why L. C. Smith & Bros, type
writing is free from blurs and every letter in the right
; place.
