LONG TRIP TO

IN U.S. JAIL
Nushagak Resident Hikes
Home From Valdez;
Does 30 Days
Word has been received at Valdez
from Bristol bay that a Nushagak of
fender, who was convicted at Valdez
last fall and told to go home and
serve 30 days, arrived safely, served
his term and is now free.
The story of this bit of judicial
procedure rivals fiction, and speaks
well for the honor of the convicted
man:
Last October, one Emile Anderson, |
a resident of Xushagak, was convict
ed by a jury in the district court of
assault with a dangerous weapon.
The testimony showed beyond a doubt
that Emil had carved his opponent
with decided earnestness of purpose,
but it also showed that the aforesaid
opponent was the aggressor and prob
ably deserved all he got and perhaps
more. Under these circumstances the
jury recommended extreme clemency
and the court, taking cognizance of
this recommendation, sentenced the
prisoner to thirty days in the jail at
Xaknek. At this time there was no
boat running to Bristol bay points,
the summer steamer service having
been discontinued, therefore Anderson
was released on his own recognizance
to make his way back to Naknek and
give himself up to the marshal there
and serve out his time.
Possibly if Anderson had failed to,
comply with his instructions no one|
would have given the matter a second
thought, but Anderson, like the
storied Indian, was a man of his
word. He secured passage on a boat
as far as Iiiamna, and here he start
ed on the long journey overland to
Nushagak. At that time of the year
the weather was cold and stormy, and
with every convenience the journey is
one that would not be lightly under
taken, but tilled with a determination
to keep his word, Anderson started

Thinks This Is Oldest Joke
An Ironton, Ohio, reader claims
that the oldest joke is the one about
the two colored men who were argu
ing religion. One was a Methodist
and the other was a Baptist. They
argued for a while and then the
Baptist said: “Did yo’ all evah read
the Bible?” “Yessah, I done read all
the Bible,” replied the Methodist.
“Well,” said the Baptist, “yo’ all done
read about John de Baptist, but yo’ all
nevah’ read nothin* about John de
Mefodist.”
Wheel. On With the Feud!
For six years a bitter feud had ex
isted between the Browns and Robin
sons, next-door neighbors. T?ie
trouble had originated thru the depre
dations of Brown’s cat and had grown
so fixed an affair that neither party
ever dreamed of “making up.” One
day, however, Brawn sent his ser
vant with a peace-making note for
Mr. Robinson, which read:
“Mr. Brown sends his compliments
to Mr. Robinson, and begs to state
that his old cat died this morning.”
Robinson’s ieply was bitter:
“Mr. Robinson is sorry to hear of
Mr. Brown’s trouble, but he had not
heard that Mrs. Brown was ill.”
