GET-TOGETHER
MEETING SUCCESS
All Attending at the Valdez School
Houae Last Evening Enjoyed
a Good Program.
The get together meeting held in
the school house was well attended,
the room being full and the people
who were there were unanimous in
assertions that they had a pleasant
evening and thought that the affair
should be repeated.
Mayor Ritchie occupied the chair
and made a very Interesting open
ing address. Judge Brown was the
speaker of the evening and in his
speech earnestly advocated the get
together spirit and expressed the
hope that in the future we might have
many such gatherings as the one in
which we participated last night.
Miss Carrie Davis rendered a rec
itation in a very clever and pleasing
way and she was followed by short
speeches from Rev. Price and Prof.
Davis.
Captains Arthur Lang and Profes
sor Davis then led their picked sides
to battle in a regular old-time spell
ing bee, and one by one the vanquish
ed fell until Mrs. W. Kramer and
Miss Davis occupied the field alone.
They spelled big words and little
words, easy words and hard words,
short words and long words, words
they did not understand and words
they did, until a slip by Miss Davis
left Mrs. Kramer the victor of the
field. Everybody said that they fell
over “the simplest word in the whole
bunch,” and they were all sure that
they could have spelled every word
that was asked if they "had not made
just one little slip.” In spite of the
formidable array of teachers, preach
ers and others of literary repute, the
last man to be vanquished and leave
the field to the ladies, was Robert
Sharts, of the Prospector force.
A pleasant time was spent after the
meeting in a social way and it is
believed that the next meeting af
ter the holidays are over will be far
more of a success than the first.
The prevailing fad is Parisian Ivory
Toilet Articles. A handsome line is
being shown it the Valdez Drug Co.’s
store.

ELLAMAR DEATH
Ed. Hemple Dropped Overboard
Without an Outcry—Cannot Find
the Body.
Joe Bourke returned to Valdez to
day to bring the details of the drown
ing of Ed. Hemple last Sunday night
at Ellamar. Hemple and Gus Hog?
bloom were aboard the launch Helen
preparing for a trip to Valdez. Hem
ple went on deck to All the tank with
gasoline. Hogbloom meantime work
ing about the engine, hearing nothing
on deck investigated and he could
not find any trace of Hemple, al
though the sea was calm and a full
moon was shining, making the nay as
light as day. Not two minutes had
elapsed between the time Hemple had
gone on deck and when he was miss
ed.
It is believed that he fell overboard
and sank when he first started along
the rail of the boat, going down im
mediately and without making an out
cry.
Since the drowning every effort has ;
been made by the miners at Ellamar !
to recover the body, but without sue- ■
cess, although the water is shallow' 1
where the accident happened and they I
have dragged the bay for hundreds j
of feet.
The drow ned man was only 23 years ]
old, a miner by occupation and Indus- j
trious. He W'as a general favorte in :
Ellamar. His brother, w’ho is em- j
ployed in the mine, came up to Valdez j
today to wire the sorrowful news to j
relatives in Sweden.

Priest Shot by Socialist.
BKCSSELS, Dec. 19.—A Catholic
priest was shot and wounded today
by a Socialist because he refused to
go to a. funeral procession in which
the red flag of Socialism was car
ried. When the priest declined the
funeral party continued its journey to
Humbeek cemetery, where the burial
took place. One of the men in the
procession, on his return to Brussels,
forced his way into the presbytery,
shot the priest, and also slightly
wounded one of the "ervants.
