Charged By Cordova People With
Having Obtained Money Under
False Pretenses.
CORDOVA, Jan. 11.—George Haz
zard has been arrested at Juneau up
on the complaint of Dr. W. H. Chase,
who charges that Hazzard obtained
money under false pretenses. It is
estimated that Hazzard secured more
than $300 in this city in sump of
from $1.00 to $150.00. The attorney
for the Cordova railroad is one of
his victims, having been touched for
$50.00. A federal official also lost
considerable.
Hazzard bought considerable goods
at a millinery store on .the strength
of a pension blank, convincing peo
ple that pension money would arrive
on the next boat. He left town on
the Alameda, buying a ticket under
the name of H. C. Peterson. It is
stated that he also fleeced Seward
people out of $600.00.
JUNEAU, Jan. 11—George Hazzard,
alias S. C. Peterson, was arrested
here today upon a telegraphic war
rant from Marshal Brennemen of the
Third division. Hazzard is charged
■with having obtained money under
false pretenses at Cordova. He also
operated in Seward, where he is
reported to have obtained $500.00 and
to some extent operated in Valdez.
Hazzard will be sent to Cordova on
the first boat for a preliminary hear
ing. He arrived here on the Ala
meda.
The George Hazzard referred to in
the above dispatch spent some time
in Valdez. He stated that he was
working upon a book regarding Alas
ka and asked for photographs of
prominent people to place in the
book. He was at one time a promi
nent Democratic politician of Taco
ma.
LIMIT NUMBER
WHALINGSTATIONS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—The
House Committee on Fisheries has
recommended the bill of the Depart
ment of Commerce which limits the
building and operation of whaling sta
tions in Alaska and provides that no
station shall be within 75 miles of
any other station. It is hoped thus
to control the slaughter of the big
whales by the companies which are
engaged in killing them for the oil
but in a most wasteful manner.
