SUSPECT ARRESTED
AT FAIRBANKS
Some Holdup Stories Sound
Like Fakes—Not Much
Mone) Lost.
One suspect has been arrested and
held in connection with the numer
ous holdups that have lately been
taking place around Fairbanks.
Parties who left Fairbanks July 15
said a Scandinavian named Hen
drikson, then in custody, was be
lieved to be the man ol the blue
Parka who had been so active as a
highwayman on the creeks roads.
Deputy Marshal George Dreibel
bis arrested Hendrikson on a charge
of committing a burglary on Cleary
creek. At a preliminary healing
the accused was acquitted of this
charge, but was immediately re
arrested to answer for passing a
bogus check in Fairbanks. Up to
the 15th no hearing had been had
in this case.
The public was not aware of the
nature of the evidence against him,
but he was known to be under sus
picion as the holdup man.
Got Little Money.
The highwayman seems to have
secured little money in any case.
The Fairbanks News ol June 30
reports three holdups in one day—
aggregating four victims—in the
same vicinity. The same paper
tells of another case in which a
stage was stop] ed and the driver
escaped by giving the bad bandit a
cut with the horsewhip and gal
loping the team out of harm’s way.
In another instance the victim did
not raise his hands when command
ed and was immediately shot but
a silver dollar in his vest pocket
acted as a shield ana saved the
man's life. The awful concussion
knocked him senseless and when
consciousness returned the robber
was gone.
The two cases last mentioned
appear to be fairly within the
l>ouiids of the improbable; and pas
sengers on the I.avelle Young, who
left Fairbanks July 15, said they
were t>oth considered fakes in that
place.
The outlawry around Fairbanks
is n)t considered of a very grave
nature by those who spoke of it in
Rampart.

On His Tour
Col. John P Clum, inspector
general of United States postoffices,
, was a passenger on the Susie Mon
day night. He is touring Alaska
Ion his official duties.
Col. Clutn must have found the
Rampart office in good order, for he
devoted only part of his less than
an hour’s stay to its inspection.
Winter Mail Service.
To a committee of the board of
trade who who talked with the in
spector general about the winter
mail service he said it had already
been practically decided to divert
the down-river mail from *he Yu
kon at Circle and forward it via
Fairbanks upon tht expiration of
the present contract.
It was pointed out, in that case,
that unless the mail tor lower river
is routed via Rampart a special
service will have to be instituted
from Tanana to this place or Ram
part would be left without any
service whatsoever.
Col. Clum at once comprehended
the situation and evidently knows
that the committee’s recommenda
tion should be adopted. However,
the boat was waiting and the com
mittee did not have opportunity to
present the matter as fully as was
desired.
