MR. BROWN AND CHEECHACOS
IN CO-PARTNERSHIP MIXUP
Three men, Brown, Tibbetts and
Lambert, the former two having
money, and the latter being rich on
ly in experience, formed a co-part
nership in Juneau for the purpose of
invading Yukon and interior Alaska,
where they hoped to carve their
names high on'the wall of financial
fame. Brown, who had the major
portion of the “Beady John Davis,”
was made treasurer of the organiz
ation and to him Tibbetts turned ov -
er all his money, says the White
horse Star.
The trip from Juneau to Skagway
was made by steamer, and from there
they “mushed” to this place, the in
tention being to secure a small boat
here and float down the placid bosom
of old Yukon to Circle City and go
afoot across country from that point
to Fairbanks. On reaching this place
Treasurer Brown contracted a severe
case of cold feet and at 1 a. m. Sun
day he quietly crawled from his bunk
in a room where all three of the
partners were wooing Nature’s sweet
restorer, and hiked toward Skagway,
having failed to leave Tibbetts’ share
of the treasury behind. On awaken
ing, their vision of wealth fading from
view, Tibbetts and Lambert report
ed their condition to the police and
a wire was sent to Carcross for Mr.
Brown’s arrest. He had walked as
far as Robinson, where he boarded
the train for Skagway Monday, but
the wire having reached Skagway in
advance ofgthe train, he was taken
off by Constable Perry, Royal N. W.
M. P„ and returned to this place
Monday evening. Tuesday morning
the matter was threshed out before
Police Magistrate Taylor when, al
though Brown was convicted of hav
ing, obtained money under false pre
tenses, he was allowed to go on sus
pended sentence after returning to
Tibbetts the latter’s share of the
common fund. And thus did' visions
of easily acquired wealth fade away
like morning dew from a huckleberry
bush.
