GEORGE The Jeweler
EDITH CAVELL WAS KILLED
BY A PETTY OFFICER
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 24.—‘The re
port which has recently reached this
city concerning the execution of Miss
Edith Cavell, the young English wo
men who was shot by the Germans
in Belgium a few days ago, gives all
of the horrible details of the event
and shows to what lengths German
officers are going in order to fulfil the
orders of their government. The re
port states that the girl stood up
against a wall and was blindfolded,
as were the men prisoners, and a
dozen guns trained on her body, but
after the volley was fired, she still
stood, and it was found that, of the
dozen shots fired, only one had
touched the body of the heroic wo
man.
When he saw that the shooting did
not have the desired effect, the petty 1
officer in command of the firing squad
walked up to the still standing girl,
and, drawing his revolver, placed it
to her ear and blew out her brains.
It is understood that all of the men
who composed that particular squad
are to be courtmartialed for neglect
of duty.
The Germans claim that harsh
measures are necessary in order that
the persistent opposition of the Bel
gians and English in Belgium be over
come. They claim that a regular
organization, having as its object the
helping of prisoners to escape, has
been established and that there is no j
other means of teaching the malcont
ents that they, as conquerors, must
be obeyed.
The plan of the conspirators is a
clever one. A stag line was establish
ed from Brussels to the Dutch front
ier, and, after prisoners had been,
brought to the hospitals at Brussels,;
presumably ill or wounded, they
would be smuggled on the stage to
the border and taken into Holland at
night.—Ex.

NEWS NOTES
The regular meeting of the Moose
lodge was postponed last night ow
ing to the failure of the lights.
Owing to the great weight of snow
on the wires at one side a telephone
pole broke and fell on Fourth avenue
this morning. The pole is the one in
front of the Brown & Hawkins stores.
In falling it injured the railing of the
balcony but no other damage resulted
except that part of Fourth avenue i
for a time looked like a wire defense
works that had been shelled by the
Germans.
The Merry Thimble Club will not
meet next Wednesday afternoon, ow
ing to its nearness to Thanksgiving
but will be postponed for one week.
Owing to the fall of snow along the
track last night the train did not
leave for the front on schedule time
this morning. Archie Hancock and a
crew of eight men worked all night
making a snow plow to go in front
of the engine, and thought it would
be finished some time this afternoon.
One report says there is eighteen
inches of snow on the summit at Mile
Twelve.
The Misses Sexton, Turnbull and
Margaret Romig walked out to the j
Bungalow this morning to spend the ^
l week end. They will be joined this j
evening bv Neil Sexton and Walter
j 1* armor.
Lane Yaeger came over from his j
camp on Fourth of July creek this
morning and returned again this af
ternoon. He reports considerably
more freshly fallen snow over there
than in the town.
The Northern has a novel idea for
cleaning off their bit of cement side
walks, turning hot instead of cold
water on the ice and snow.
Frank Skeen has returned after
having finished his assessment work
on the mine at Mile Seven.
Snow slides up the gulch were the
cause of stopping the lights last i
night.
A1 Chamberlin took out his dog
team for a try out as far as Mile Two
or thereabouts. Mrs. Leslie Cramer j
was a passenger, and no doubt the
first lady in Seward to have a dog
team ride this winter.
Deputy Marshall Isaac Evans, and
Mrs. Evans, are returning passengers
on the Alameda which left Seattle
Wednesday.

THE VALENTINE CASE
JUNEAU—Mrs. Josephine G.
Valentine has brought suit for divorce a
against her husband, Emery Valen- a
tine, charging drunkenness, cruelty ti
and adultery. The latter charge, w
however, is very indefinitely pleaded, r
Mrs. Valentine also asks for ali- n
mony at the rate of $4,000 a year, or a
a lump sum of $50,000. She alleges;
that Mr. Valentine is the owner of j
real estate to the value of $70,000!
and personal property to the value
of $15,000, and has an annual income;
of $15,000 a year, and further says! ?
that her own property is limited to a 1
house and lot valued at .$.>,000 on j 1
which there is a mortgage of $1,500. j
There is probably not a wui 'an in
Juneau who receives large! £*arc
of the public resoect than Mrs. 1
Valentine, nor one who has so large j f
a circle of friends who love and ad- j c
mire her. Emery Valentine was sev- ^ c
oral times the mayor of Juneau, and j
it is no disparagement to his sueces- ,
sers to say that in many respects he f
was the best mayor Juneau ever had. j
He holds a conspicuous place in this
city by reason of the fact that he has | 1
shown a splendid public spirit in a [
community in which the civic sense 1
is rather undeveloped.—Ex.

The summers slipping away again,
Anil winter’s almost here;
The boys are coming from the hills
In search of warmth and cheer.
Come; all you lads from Anchorage
When you crave a glass of beer.
You’re welcome as the flowers In May,
And no one is siwashed here.
