Man for Murder
Hundred Masked Men Drag White
Man Out and Kill Him.
FOREST CITY, Ark., Dec. 3.—A
hundred masked men armed to the
teeth dragged William Patrick, a
white man, from his house here last
night and lynched him for the alleged
murder of a local merchant. Owing
to circumstances connected with the
killing of the merchant it was thought
unlikely that Patrick would be
brought to justice and this probably
caused the mob to take his life.

Cook Inlet Pioneer Discover* An
other Peep Conspiracy With
Seward as the Plotter.
In a recent issue of the Cook In- i
let Pioneer appears a story on* the (
front page which says that in its de- j
sire to knock Anchorage Seward sent
a moving picture man and outfit to
Anchorage to take moving pictures of
the ice there. The Cook Inlet Pioneer
is not to be blamed for that. In
Sewa»d at present is a man who met
one of the publishers of the Pioneer
on the street at Anchorage some time
ago. “W'hat do you think of that."
says he to the newspaperman, “that
infernal Seward bunch has a man
down there on the water front with a
moving picture outfit taking pictures
of the ice to send them outside. ’ And
►.way rushes the scribe to publish
Seward’s villiany to tne world.

GOOD REPORTS COME
IN FROM LEWIS RIVER ,
James Brennan and Thomas Set
ter returned to Anchorage Friday
with a considerable quantity of gold (
dust and a favorable report regard
ing recent work and developments in |
the new placer camp on Lewis river,
to the westward of Anchorage. They j ,
were among the first to go there, j ,
following the report in July that ^
placer discoveries had been made.
They staked several claims and spent | ,
the summer and fall in doing assess- ,
ment and development work, took out
as high as 75 cents an hour each with
a rocker on a bar, dug a ditch 600
feet long, and were taking out “good j
pay” when the recent cold snap froze (
up their leading house and compelled
them to return here for their winter’s ,
outfit. They will remain in Anchor
age until the streams are frozen and 1 ,
the winter trail is in good condition
for freighting. I
Mr. Brennan informed the Pioneer
that they took out $200 from four
cuts during the last four days before
their water supply froze up. They ,
cashed in a portion of their cleanup
at the A. C. Co.’s store at Susitna
Station, where the assay showed the ,
gold to be of high grade and worth ,
$18.70 an ounce. Their largest piece ;
weighed $2.P0. I he gold ot all the
bars they prospected is coarse, the
greater portion weighing from 20 to
25 cents. Their best dirt was from
three to five feet deep.
F. C. Roe and A. A. Supernet are
the only two men left in the camp this
winter, they having arrived from An
chorage September 28th with an out
fit that will last them until the end of
next summer.
Messrs. Brennan and Setter discov
ered during the summer old sluice
boxes, a camp and other evidences of
former placer diggings, supposed to
have belonged to a man known as “Big
Mike,” who disappeared about five
years ago, after bringing to Susitna
Station $1,100 in coarse gold from a
locality which he refused to make
known—Cook Inlet Pioneer, Nov. 8.

HOUSE TOOK FIRE WHEN
FAMILY LAY SLEEPING j
This morning about 2:30 o’clock!
Lhe house of Mrs. Cohen, situated on
Washington street between Third and
Fourth, took tire while she and her
two children lay asleep in bed, but
she awoke in time, gave the alarm
md the fire was extinguished without
loing much injury'. It is thought that I
the fire was started by a hot pipe
vhich set fire to some clothes hanging
•lose by. This is the opinion of Mr.
Colwell from whom Mrs. Cohen rents
he place. The ringing of the fire
jell caused quite an excitement at;
hat hour of the morning. Bob Guest
,vas soon on the scene with a hand ex
tinguisher. Tom Towle, the Brown

nan Cantwell and some others were
0
ilso quick to appear and the name
