ILLEGAL VOTE IN THE
ALASKA ELECTION FOUND
SEATTLE, Nov. 25.—One bit of
evidence of fradulent voting in the
recent election held in Alaska devel
oped here. According to a reputable
witness, Louis Klopsch, late editor of
the defunct Daily Times at Fair
banks, on his way to the outside, vot
ed at Sourdough roadhouse. Klopsch
registered at Fairbanks, which is in
the Fourth division. Sourdough road- j
house is located in the Third division,
and therefore Klopsch’s vote was ir-,
regular and illegal.
Klopsch is now here and he stated
to many in the various hotels around
the city, especially to the Alaskans,
that he voted in the Third division.
There is every indication here that
this matter will be brought to the
attention of the Alaska authorities.—
Ex.
SHIP SINKING
The following indicates the terrible
nature of the submarine warfare:
“Since then, despite the huge sums
that England and France have been
compelled to raise in Wall Street, the
ratio of losses from the U-boat war
fare has increased considerably. In
the previous article on this subject at
tention was called to the fact that the
German Emperor had bestowed an
order on Walter Forstmann, a U-boat
commander, in recognition ol his sink
ing 100 vessels of the Entente Allies,
aggregating 200,000 tons, with an
estimated value of $1;>0,000,000. Since
then, on October 10, a Berlin dispatch
records that the German Emperor has
awntdcd the Order Pour le Merite to
Lieutenant-Commander Arnauld del
! la Perricre, commander of the sub
marine U-o5, for his achievements in
sinking 120 vessels.—Ex.
Mrs. George Adams of Mile 40 is
visiting the city on business.
| As an example of how names come
over the wires the story of the wed
ding oi John Troy in the Fairbanks
News-Miner is good. The bride’s
| name is given as “Mrs. Ethel ( rookei
j Fogy.”

PORTLAND MAN
SELLS HIS WIFE
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 5.—A week
ago last Monday, William E. Huss
mun sold his wife to Ralph W. Short
well, a roomer in the Hussman home.
The price agreed on was $o00, pay
able one week from date. Mrs. Huss
man, entirely agreeable, offered to
contribute a part of the purchase
price. The three shook hands to bind
the bargain and lived amicably under
the same roof during the remainder
of the week. Last nighty Hussman
convinced that his money was not to
be forthcoming, went to the house in
Franklin avenue, where the three
were living and confronted Shotwell
and Mrs. Hussman. An argument
ensued at the climax of which Huss
man drew a revolver, aimed it at
Shot well’s head and pulled the trig
ger. Simultaneously Shotwell drew.
Hussman’s weapon failed to dis
charge. Shotwell’s 'bullet penetrat
ed Hussman’s heart, killing him al
most instantly. Later examination
; showed that the main spring of Huss
man’s revolver had been removed.
Hussman was 38 years old. Shot
well is 10 years younger. Mrs. Huss
man is 32.—Er.
HAVANA, Dec. 3. — Although a
month has elapsed since Cuba's presi
dential election the result is in doubt.
Many months* may elapse before the
result is known.
It has been decided a partial re
election must be held in two prov
inces, where fraud occured. The out
come of these provinces will decide
where President Menocal or Alfred
Zayas will be president.—Ex.
