Negro Soldiers Aroused
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 21.—
Military police tonight prevented
probably serious trouble when some
of the negro soldiers from the Camp
Sheridan training camp became ex
cited over a report that one of their
comrades had ben captured by a mob,
and started in pursuit. For a time it
appeared there was danger of a race
riot, but the mil ts-y police took the
situation in hand and at midnight
everything was quiet, with most of
the soldiers in quarters and a cordon
of sentries out with orders to arrest
and hold all stragglers.

Widely Known Citizen of Valdes
Kails to Survive After Linger
ing Illness
Charles A. Hand, chief ^epufy clerk
of the district court at Valdes, died
this morning at 2 o’clock In the home
of H. F. Suessdorf. The end had been
feared for several days by his Intimate
friends but came sooner then expect
ed. He never recovered from a sur
gical operation in September. Friends
who called on him yesterday found
him cheerful and able to talk as us
ual, though very weak. He sat up part
of the time. Late in the evening his
mind wandered as he talked to Henry
Suessdorf and shortly before mid
night he fell into the sleep from
which he never wakened.
In December 1916 Mr. Hand under
went an operation for appendicitis
in Portland. From this hp seemed to
recover anfl during the past summer
his health seemed normal, though he
sometimes mentioned that he had
been told ^iat another slight opera
tion might be necessary. On Septem
ber 9 last he entered the local
hospital for an operation which was
performed a day or two later. From
’ this he rallied slowly but late in Oc
tober he condition* had improved so
that he expected soon to be back at
his work when an- attack of rheuma
tism laid him up again. This caused
him great pain and confined him
again to his bed and from that time
lie gradually weakened. Two weeks
ago lie was carried into Henry Suess
dorf’s private rooms in the Copper
Block where he remained to the end.
Mrs. H. K. Miller has been nursing
him.
Though 62 yea*« of age hnd of
trail physique, Mr. Hand possessed
extraordinary nerve and patience and
lie made a noble fight for life. It is
doubtful whether he suspected to the
last moment of consciousness that he
was suffering his final illness. He
friends practically gave up several
days ago though hoping against hope
to the last.
Hilaries a. nauu was uui in m ±o*j-r
at Friedrichshafen, grand duchy ot
Baden, Germany, one the northern
shore of Lake Constance. He came
to the United States in 1871. He was
induced to come largely because of
privations to which his district was
subjected in the Franco-Prussian war,
although it was German. This made
him all his life extremely hostile to
Prussian Junkerdom.
Arriving in America Mr. Hand liv
ed a short time in Northern New York
then went to California, where he
worked on the survey of the Southern
Pacific in and around Los Angeles.
He then worked on the Denver & Rio
Grande when it was built through
Colorado and Utah in the eighties.
From there he went to Idaho, where
he lived until the Klondike stampede.
He was county assessor of Boise
county, and was an executive clerk
in the office of Gov. Frank Steunen
burg of Idaho. *
In 1897 Mr. Hand went to Dawson
and in 1900 to Nome. He came to Val
dez in 1902 and for ten years con
ducted a cafe. When the town was
prosperous he prospered with it, but
In the periodical dull times which all
Alaska towns pass through he always
lost money because he was too kind
hearted to refuse credit to anybody.
The unpaid accounts on his books
would astonish the community by
their total. When he finally closed his
business In a period of depression sev
eral years ago he told a friend that
he bad to do it because he was hot
collecting enough to pay bis own gro
cery and meat bills. Yet he had a good
‘patronage and his statement was a
revelation to the miah who heard It.
un July l, 1*10 mr. nuu u™me
deputy elerk of the district court and
held the position until bis death. In
