“DOC” FOUND GUILTY
AND IS SENTENCED
O'Keef-Walkei Wedding.
Of keen interest to all of their many
Ketcn'kan friends, was the wedding
of Miss Josephine O'Keefe and Nor
man ti. Walker, last evening at the
home of Judge E. S. Stackpole. Miss
O'Keefe will be remembered as the
popular girl in the Kubley Confection
ery store, last summer, and Mr. Walk
er as manager of the Walker Drug
Company, needs no introduction.
immediately after the wedding cere
mony, "Doc” was arrested by his many
friends and forced to appear before a
Kangaroo Court which was hoiding
session in the Assistant District At
torney's office. The Bachelor’s Club
was the plaintiff. Mr. Noli, Judge: Mr.
Cosgrove, attorney, and Walter Jang
gen foreman of the jury. The charge <
being the heinous crime of matrimony.
The prisoner was found guilty on an
instructed verdict, as charged, and
sentenced to a sensational crip, in
convict's garb, bail and chain, through
all main streets and in all public
places the jury and his friends elected
to take him. and it is needless to say
that the sentence was carried out to
the limit.
At ten o'clock Mrs. U H. Kubley
served a delightful- wedding supper
in her apartments in the Alaska build
ing. Sweet peas and carnations were
the decorations and were very effect
ive. It was a late hour before the
happy party separated.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker will be at
their home to their friends in the Gra
ham house.

LAST NIGHTS CHIVAREE.
Mr. Editor:—To get married in Ket
chikan. is almost taking a life's risk,
as everybody knows the hazing a
newly made groom has to endure. In
last night's chivaree. the limit was
stretched past the funny point, though
it seemed most amusing to some.
These performances are very countri
fied, not to say humiliating and add
nothing to the dignity of the oeeas
sion. nor to the city which permits
such proceedings. Furthermore, the
iimit is being over reached on each oc
casion and if allowed to continue,
there is no 'telling how or where it
will s op. There are other points to
consider: the expense attached is t
tax on any man aside from being set
up as a side show attraction for the
curious. It is with some surpr.se that
some of our law-enforcing and law
abiding citizens were noted among
the chief performers in last night's
mud puddle. A SUBSCRIBER.

NATIVE GIRL MURDERS EASY.
(Valdez Prospector.)
A telegram to Marshal Brenneman
from Deputy Marshal Karl Armstrong
of Kodiak, states that Nordya Pestri
koff. a native girl of Kodiak, is in cus
tody there charged with the murder
of her infant child by strangulation.
The infant, an illegitimate child,
was born June 5th, and shortly after
its birth the young mother took a
cord and twisted it about the neck of
the child, strangling it to death, fol
lowing which she hid the body away.
Her condition was known and failure
to produce the child following her
confinement, led to an investigation
which brought to light the body of the
infant, on whose tiny neck were still
visible the marks of the cord which
deprived it of life. An inquest was
held and an examination of the body
by Di\ Silverman disclosed the cause
of death. It was a clear case of mur
der and the coroner's jury so render
ed a verdict. The girl was taken into
custody and is now being held to
await further action by the court.
This was the second illegitimate child
the girl has borne within the past two
years the first being still alive.

FALSE REPORTS CIRCULATED.
NEW YORK, June 29.—An appre
hension on the part of many Ameri
cans that if they come to Canada they
may be drafted into the army is-in
dicated in numerous inquiries to the
government.
It is pointed out that there is no
conscription in Canada. Furthermore
the government authorizes the state
ment that no measures-taken for re
cruiting the forces either have been or
will he applied to any persons not or
d'nary resident in the Dominion, nor
is it the intention to ask for volun
teers except from among British sub
jects resident in Canada. The mili
tary service act under which con
scription is applied in Great Britain
affects only her sons ordinarily resi
dent there.
Americans and British subjects who
reside in the states and who wish to
visit Canada will find no more trouble
on the border than they have expe
rienced in the past The immigration
authorities suggest, however, that nat
uralized Americans whose counrty of
origin is at war with the British em
pire shouldering along their natural
ization certificates.
