DAY
Thanksgiving morning P. J. Wat- i
kinson, bookkeeper for the W. J.
Erskine Company at Kodiak, went
to the store about 7 o’clock to start
the heating plant. As he entered;
the building he heard a noise at ;
the rear end. A quick survey of j
the merchandise satisfied him that I
the store had been burglarized by'
forcible entry through the rear
window.
He rushed to the Marshal’s office
and notified him, which was a very
proper thing to do. However, it is
said, if Watkinson had exercised I
presence of mind and ran to the I
rear end of the building with hisi
flashlight, he might have discov
ered the identity of the thieves,
who, it appears now. will never be
known.
A careful examination of the
stock and cash revealed that $20 in
cash had been taken from a drawer
in the manager’s office and a quan
tity of supplies, mostly groceries, j
had been sacked up ready to be put |
out through the aperture entered j
by them.
Word reaching Fairbanks by mail
