CORDOVA, Aug., 25— While tak
ing testimony at Valdez last Saturday
forenoon in the Wickersham- Grigsby
contest for seat for Delegate from
Alaska to CongressJames Wickersham
made some alleged insulting remarks
to Mrs. Donald Tyer, wife of Sergeant
Tver, quartermaster’s corps, while
questioning her as to the legality of
her vote cast at the last November
election.
ijpon leaving the court house, Wick
eishtm was met by Thomas J. Selby,
who is a recently returned soldier
from overseas, and a brother of Mrs.
Tyer. Selby called Wickersham to ac
count for the insulting remarks mad*
to his sister and told Wickersham his
opinion of him in plain language.
Wickersham is said to have made
the first pass at Selby who returned
a hard blow on Wickersham’s jaw,
knocking him down in the street.
When Wickersham gained his feet it
was discovered that he had a badl>
bruised face and was minus a tooth.
It u understood here that “Fight
ing Jim” got what was coming to him
as the people of Valdez deeply resent
Wickersham’s method in examining
Mrs. Tyer. The Valdez people are also
said to bo heartily in sympathy with
you Selby in his manly attitude in do
fending his sister’s fair name. Mrs.
Tyer is a girl raised in Valdez and
the daughter of Editor Selby of the
Valdez miner. She was married in
Valdez about a year ago to Sergeant
Donald Tyer.

BIG STRIKE AT STEWART
IS SAID TO BE A BOOM
According to E. P. Morris, well
known traveling man who went to An
chorage Saturday night on the Admir
al Watson, the boom at Stewart B. C„
is just that and nothing more. Mr.
Morris spent several days at Stewart,
B. C., and also Hyder on his way north
and this is how he dopes out the con
ditions at both places:
“As far as I could learn, there are
between 1R and 20 prospectors? back
•n the mountains about twenty miles
from Stewart B. C., now giving the
country the close inspection. At Hyder
many people were there and all were
apparently wondering, just why. The
steamer lands you on the mud flats.
Hiere is a small store and several ca
bins. The hotel, a low frame building
jvith accomodations for about a dozen
persons, was not opened as the propri
etor was around the country selling
:ash registers. If people keep going to
Hyder or Stewart, there will be a
boom and then a bust. That is about
:he truth of the situation as seen and
dzed u^ by himself about ten days
ago.”
