MARKEM HAD A
ROUGH EXPERIENCE
Katalla Queen Blown Out To Sea
While On Trip To Middleton Is
land—Lands At Seward.
Tim Markem, the well-known Val
dez resident and owner of the Mid
tleton Island fox farm, is believed to!
be coming along the coast in his
launch, Katalla Queen, from Seward,
and is due to arrive back in Valdez
at any time.
Markem left Valdez about two!
weeks ago to make the trip to Mid
dleton Island and was blown out of
his course and for two days and
nights battled with the waves. The
Katalla Queen is a staunch little
craft and Markem was finally able
to reach Seward, having been car
ried to the westward.
The report does not state if the
mishap occurred while on the out
bound trip or while returning from
Middleton Island to Valdez. If he
had not visited the island before
fetching up at Seward he will prob
! ably finish his trip of inspection to
the farm before returning to Valdez.

TO GOME BEFORE
IRE GRAND JURY
Accused Prisoner Threatens Commis
sioner Adams With Violence
During Hearing.
Deputy U. S. Marshal Sana Bright
well, of Cordova, arrived on the Mar
iposa yesterday, bringing Red Lewis
and Bob Baney, bound over to the
grand jury by Commissioner A. J. Ad
ams, of Cordova, on the charge of
larceny.
The men are accused of robbing
Magnus Edgren, foreman of the Jum
bo mine, while the latter was a guest
at the Rainier-Grand hotel in Cor
dova. Edgren was awakened during
the night and saw two men going
through his pockets. They fled from
the room, taking $80.00 in cash and
a gold watch chain. When complaint
was made to the manager of the house
he caused the arrests of Lewis and
Baney. He had caught them coming
downstairs a few miuntes before and
had ordered them from the house.
The men were given a hearing be
fore Commissioner Adanos and Lew
is was bound over under $500 bail and
Baney $300. Lewis is one of the four
men who recently beat their way on
the steamer from Juneau to Cordova.
He is reported to be a tough man and
had previously been arrested for steal
mg but was acquitted. During tne
hearing in Cordova Lewis asked for
a jury trial and when Commissioner
Adams refused he became abusive and
declared that Adams was running a
kangaroo court and that he was
tempted to smash him over the head
with a chair. The abuse was allow
ed to pass with only a reprimand from
the commissioner.
Bob Baney is the buck and wing
dancer who recently entertained the
people of Valdez. He came here from
interior Alaska, claiming to have come
from Ruby.
NEW MANAGER FOR
MERCANTILE CO.
«
Mr. W. N. Cuddy, who recently ar
rived in Valdez, has accepted the man
agement of the Valdez Mercantile
Company’s store. He believes that
Alaska is due for a general awaken
ing during the next few years beyond
anything anticipated even by the most
optimistic Alaskans. Mr. Cuddy states
that partly owing to business depres
sion in the states and the desire of
Americans to take part in the develop
ment of new countries that every
body in the states, especially the
western portion, are looking to Alas
ka.
Mr. Cuddy is an experienced busi
ness man and for a number of years
Was connected witb the Rhodes Bros,
big store in Tacoma, and later in busi
ness for himself in Seattle. He
btates that he has extensive plans
and new ideas which he will use in
building up the business of his com
pany here, but realizes that they can
not all be worked out in a day. His
experience will enable him to cater
successfully to the needs of Alaskans.
He states he was agreeably surprised
to know of the fine lines of goods de
manded in Valdez and is proud of the
agencies represented by his company.
