BOB MILVAIN
IS WOUNDED
SECOND TIME
DAWSOX, Jan. 1.—A letter receiv
ed last evening from London stated
that Major Robert H. Milvain, of
Dawson, was in the hospital tnbit?
and about to be operated on after
having been wounded in the hcad.j
back and legs by shrapnel, while
fighting on the western front with
the Tenth Ix>yal Lancashire*. The
wound in the head seemed the worst. |
He was on the casualty list weeks be
fore, as the result of a huge shell ex
ploding near him. He had been back
to the front only two days when he
revived his second wounds. During
his absence on leave a short time be-,
lore all the officers of his regiment i
save one were wiped out in a charge.
Rob would have been in that bout but
for the fact that the boat on which
he was returning was chased by a
submarine. Destroyers later got the
submarine.—Ex.

And now they must await con

to say that they will have prohibition.
'H eir vote was merely an expression

“The territorial legislature finds it
self ennuv-hed in the apron strings
not only of congress, nut of ten other
foster parents, bureaus and commis

helpless confusion of the Alaskan.
