DEPUTY MARSHALL
TAKES* 6RI0E
INTENDED WEDDING SECRET
A. C. Dowling Married In San Fran
cisco to Norse St. Francis Hos
pital... Will Return Home on tlie
Steamship Alaska.
Deputy Marshal A. C. Dowling,
who is now in the States, will return
with a bride on the steamer Alaska,
which sails from Seattle on the 22nd,
unless all signs fall. Mr. Dowling
has kept his contemplated marriage
4 secret from even his most intimate
friends, the first intimation that he
intended to depart from a state of
single blessedness having been made
known to Deputy Marshal John
Rouse in a letter received from Mr.
Dowling on the boat arriving here af
ter his departure for the States.
The letter in part reads as follows:
“I hope the Case de Dowling has not
been blown to the demnltion bow
wows as I may need it when I return
from the outside: from reftent "ad
vices which I received from the Fair
City it is likely then*, will be a va
cancy on the staff of nurses in St.
Francis Hospital in that place. If,
when I am advising you of my return
I should wire ‘we’ will return on such
a boat, you will know that I am act
ing as escort (or consort) to the fair
one.” ,
Since receiving the letter news
from the deputy has been anxiously
awaited at the Marshal’s office, and
this morning the suspense was brok
en by the receipt of,a message read
ing as follows:
“ ‘WE’ will return steamer Alaska,
twenty-second. Dowling.”
From these indications it is believ
ed the youth of Valdez will make no
mistake if they greet Mr. Dowling
on his return with the music of tin
cans, horns, hells and the other nec
essary instruments for a first-class
charivari.

SHACKLEFORD PITS ONE OVER
Wins the Southeastern Alaska Dele
gation Through Promises to Nomi
nate Wickershiun at the Seward
Convention.
A prominent Juneau man writes to
Valdez:
“Shackleford will have practically
the entire delegation from the First
division. This he obtained on the
strength that ho would support
Wickersham and put the latter in
nomination as the Republican candi
date for Congress. Of course, I do
not think he will do so, because I do
not think you can very well fuse oil
ind water. Mr. Shackleford explains,
is does Ed Russell of the Dispatch,
that Shackleford and Wickersham
have entered into an agreement by
which Shackleford is to be given the
patronage as National Committee
man and Wickersham is to be given
the nomination as Republican candi
date.
ShacKieroru sun* ai-.-iux a wees
ago to M. J. O'L.onnor of Douglas that
he did not trust Wlckerseam and
that when tie got the rwoxies he
would go to Washington "«-l take
Wickersham up to Hilles, chairman
of the national committee, and make
Wickersham relinquish all claim to
the patronage. You know that Wick
ersham is not going to do anything of
the kind. What, then, is gojng to re
sult?
“The Gastineau company threw it
self into the local light with all its
customary vigor. The men were
herded in squads from the mine and
mill and ushered into automobiles,
given a ticket, rushed up to the vot
ing place in Juneau, where they were
herded up to the ballot box, voted,
anxl herded back into the auto and
back to the mill and mine again.
About twenty autos were engaged in
this work and there was a continual
string of them coming and going be
tween Thane and Juneau all aftor
noon at top speed. Not one in ten of
the men had ever heard there was go
ing to be any kind of an election; not
one in twenty knew what the election
was about: not one in twenty saw
more than one ticket, and would not
know' what either was if they did see
it.
“Neither of the local papers dare
say a wrord about the affair, but the
public nerve is atingle with excite
ment over what has occurred, be
cause they realize that the result of
the performance is likely to have a
far-reaching and lasting effects."
