KARL ARMSTRONG
GETS RIS MAN
Papas Tried To Get Away and Bren
neman’s Deputy Puts Shot
In His Wing.
Tony Lithetakis, alias Papas, at
tempted to escape from United States
Deputy Marshal Wardell yesterday
just before the party were ready to
embark on the launch for McNeil’s
island. Deputy Marshal Karl Arm
strong, who was in charge of the pris
oner while Mr. Wardell was telephon
ing to the penitentiary for the boat,
immediately shot Lithetakis through
the arm, bringing him down and re
capturing the murderer. Lithetakis
refused to stop when ordered to do
so by the deputy.
Karl Armstrong is the deputy at
Kodiak. He has a long record of ef
ficient service with the federal gov
ernment and during the eruption at
Mount Katmai, when the heavy cloud
of ashes covered Kodiak he remain
ed on the island after sending all
the natives and white folks to safety
on the revenue cutter Manning, which
was in the bay at the time. Arm
strong expected that the cutter would
have to make a run for it and that
the natives in the small villages near
Kodiak might seek shelter at his sta
tion and was determined to remain on
the job. His conduct and bravery re
sulted in his receiving a number of
letters from the head of the Depart
ment of Justice, from the officers of
the revenue service and from Presi
dent Taft commending him for his
courage and devotion to duty.
Lithetakis was known as a desper
ate prisoner. He had told several of
his countrymen that he would escape.
When told by the interpreter that
he had been found guilty after the
trial in Valdez two weeks ago, he
said he did not care if the judge gave
him fifty years.
Angelio, the man whom Lithetak
is shot, is not expected to live long.
Marshal Brenneman was determin
ed that Lithetakis would be delivered
at McNeil’s dead or alive and turn
ed the prisoner over to Deputy Mar
shal Wardell, of Katalla, one of the
best men on his staff and sent Deputy
Marshal Armstrong along as guard.

SOLDIERS STAY
IN COLORADO
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—President
Wilson has declined to withdraw the
federal troops from the Colorado
strike zone. The government is de
termined that the policing of the dis
trict shall be done by federal soldiers
and not by the state guards which
have been recently recruited from
among the gunmen of the eastern cit
ies. The mines will be allowed to
open but no new men are to be al
lowed to be brought into the strike
zone by the operators. It is this pro
vision which is objected to by the
mine owners.
The president has appointed a num
ber of commissioners to investigate
conditions in Colorado and try to ef
fect a settlement between mine work
ers and mine operators.
