ALASKAN IS SHOT
DEAD BY A WOMAN;
FROM ANCHORAGE
CASPER, Wyo., Nov. 3.—Lawrence Barrett, former
ly of Anchorage, Alaska, was killed in. a local restaurant
as the climax to a dramatic scene between himself and
the woman who is reported to have shot him. Mrs. Bes
sie Fisher is the name of the woman.
Barrett and his family were at dinner when Mrs.
Fisher entered the dining room and going up to their table
entered into conversation with the man. She appeared to
i be very much excited. Before anyone present was arous
| ed to any suspicion of her intent, she pulled a revolver and
i fired at Barrett.
That the act was premeditated is the conviction of the
| witnesses, as after the shooting Mrs. Fisher declared that
she was glad she had killed him. Jealousy is the motive
j assigned, the murderess having made the dramatic asser
| tion: “If I can’t have him, his wife can’t either.”
It is believed that Mrs. Fisher followed the man here
i from Alaska.
ALASKAN KILLS WOMAN, THEN SUICIDES
Mail advices received here yesterday state that Chas.
j Butcher, formerly of Latouche, Alaska, and Mrs. Bertha
| Volkman are dead as the outcome of tragic scene enacted
i at Seattle last week. Butcher called on Mrs. Volkman at
the home of her sister in Seattle and after conversation
with her, pulled a revolver and shot her dead. Before he
could he prevented from further action, he turned the gun
on himself and committed suicide.
Mrs. Volkman’s husband, John Volkman, is at pres
i ent in Anchorage, working on the railroad. Butcher was
I boarding with his victim and was an old-time friend of the
j family. It is said that he had courted Mrs. Volkman be
fore her marriage and that he had never forgiven her for
not favoring his suit.
Word was sent to the husband of the double tragedy.
Salmon canners have recently been notified that it is
j not the intention of the Army and Navy to consider the
use of any salmon except Alaska Reds and Alaska and
Puget Sound Pinks, and that it is unnecessary for packers
of other grades to hold longer any goods reserved under
the Government instructions.
It has been announced that the Government expects to
ask for 100,000 cases of Reds and 50,000 cases of Pinks, to
be apportioned among the packers in proportion to their
output, except in cases where the amount involved would
i be too small to ship, in which case some other method ol
equalization will be arranged for. The matter of appor
tionment is being attended to by E. B. Deming, Pacific
Coast representative of the Co-operative Committee on
Canned Foods.
GOVERNMENT WANTS FISHERMEN OF
ALASKA TO GET BUSY NEXT SEASON
SEATTLE, Nov. 3.—Advices received from Washing
ton say that the government is urging the greatest pos
sible development in the fishing industry in Alaska next
| season, especially in salmon, which is contributing mate
rially to the food supply of the world. The government
believes that the output next year can be swelled a great
deal more than in the past few seasons, with proper co
j operation, and it is now, early in the winter, starting plans
; for the extension.

ficer has issued instructions which compel the medical ex
amination of all school children in the Yukon territory.

dren all over this district, and the action of the health of

OEMS APPEAR i
IN HERDS ON
RAILWAYROUTE:
—
ANCHORAGE, Oct. 27, (By Mail) j
—Brown bears are more numerous
now on the route of the government
railroad near Montana creek than at
any other time in the experience of
construction crews. Reports from the
end of steel, which is near Montana
creek, are to the effect that a herd of
seven large brown bears was seen re
cently by workers.
When the grade was put through,
bears were frequently observed, but
not in such numbers as at present.
The animals are so bold that they
come to eat from the swill barrels at
the mess tents.
Man and Wife Fi&ht Bear
A few nights ago, a man and his
wife, who have taken a homestead
near Montana creek, heard a bear
rummaging outside their cabin, and
the man got up and from the door
way, shot at the scarcely discernible
moving object. In the morning blood
on the ground evidenced he had hit
the animal. He, armed with a rifle,
and his wife, carrying a revolver, took
up the trail. It led, after an hour or
so, into a patch of thick brush, where
they turned around to retrace their
steps home. They had gone but a
short distance, when, hearing a noise,
they looked backward, to see a brown
bear chasing them.
rnlimbored Their Artillery
They unlimbered their artillery—
the man his rifle and the woman her
revolver—and opened fire on the ani
mal. They pumped him almost full
of lead before he fell dead six feet in
front of them. Bullet holes in his hide
showed he had been hit fourteen times,
and coagulated blood in one of the
wounds proved the animal was the
same that the farmer had shot the
previous night.
As unusual as the frequent occur
rence of bear, is the great scarcity of
ptarmigan and rabbits. Practically
none of these is to be found in the
Montana creek region this fall; yet
both heretofore were very common
there.
CHINA IS ANXIOUS
TO BE OF HELP TO
THE ENTENTE ALLIES
PEKING, Nov. 3. — The Chinese
minister to Great Britain, Alfred Sze,
has sent a dispatch to the Ministry of
Agriculture and Commerce urging
every effort be made to increase Chi
nese production of foodstuffs and ma
terial available for clothing during the
continuation of the present war.
