eral shipments of booze were confis
cated from trail teams arriving in
Anchorage from Seward.
C. C. Olsier has completed the wood
pork for the front of “That Man
Logemann’s” store building in the
Mint block and it presents a real citi
fied appearance.
A1 Chamberlain brought in two
passengers from Seward yesterday
afternoon and will remain in Anchor
age several days before making the
return trip. Mr. Chamberlain is reg
istered at the White House.
The small sum of 50c will be charg
ed for the big doings at the house
warming tomorrow night and the new
public school building should be
crowded. Cards, dancing and music,
and the public is invited.
A meeting of the holding committee
of the Alaska Labor union has been
called for Friday night at 7:30 o’clock
and the members are earnestly solic
ited to be present. Business of vital
importance to the organization will
come before the meeting.
• Mr. and Mrs. Pendegrast left Tues
day morning after spending several
days in Anchorage as guests of the
Hotel Anchorage. Mr. Pendegrast is
employed by the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission as resident engineer
and is located at Camp 166 on the
main line of the government railroad.
Louis Rosenthal, formerly connect
ed with the government .arrived in
Anchorage last evening over the trail
from Seward and is stopping at the
Hotel Anchorage. Louis has been in
Seattle for the past three months and
is here on important business of a
personal nature.
The government electricians work
ed overtime yesterday and certain
parts of 4th avenue took on an excep
tionally brilliant appearance last
night. Fifteen business houses were
connected with the government plant
yesterday and Superintendent McFar
land said this morning that equally
that number would be connected up
today.
The opening service ofThe.people's
church will be held next Sunday even
ing at 7:30. Rev. Jack Dunstan has
provided seating accommodation for
100 people in the old Tacoma cafe at
the corner of Fifth and G St. This
building will be used temporarily un
til a new one is constructed on the
same lot. Mr. Dunstan states that he
intends to carry on a work along lines
that are unique.
This Seward mail schedule is get
ting to be a joke. First report re
ceived at The Times office this morn
ing was to the effect that the outside
mail would reach here at noon today;
this was later changed until tomor
row morning and thep using a wom
an’s prerogative the date was finally
settled for Saturday afternoon at 17
minutes past 2 o’clock. A severe
snow storm at Mile 12, near Seward,
delayed the train carrying the mail;
this will delay the dog teams to In
dian river, which naturally follows,
as the night the day, that the mail to
Anchorage will be delayed.
Martin and Jepson are going again.
They posted a $200 forfeit with Jack
Robarts this morning just before noon
and the match is on. Martin won the
last match and from the eyes of a
novice the match was perfectly square
although a number of the spectators
claim it was off color. On the other
hand there are men who know the
game and who saw the match who be
lieve it was on the square. The match
takes place next Sunday afternoon at
Robarts’ hall and Bert Kincaid will
probably act as referee. The last
match was a splendid exhibition and
was witnessed by a large crowd of
enthusiastic fans.
ABDUCTION
IS CHARGED
Jack Smith was arrested this morn
ing by Marshal Frank Hoffman on the
charge of kidnaping as a result of a
warrant sworn out by Jas. L. French.
Smith was released on $1,500 bond
and the case will come up for trial at
10 o’clock tomorrow morning before
Judge Leopold David. The attempted
kidnaping was not unexpected as de
tails of the case have been well known
in Anchorage for some time. Smith,
was formerly married in the states
and had a daughter who is now about
4 years of age. His wife secured a
divorce in Montana and married Jas.
L. French in Anchorage last summer.
,The decree of divorce granted Mrs.
French the custody of the child. Mr.
and Mrs. French are living at Camp
98, on the other side of Potter creek
where he is employed by the commis
sion in the capacity of timekeeper.
Smith was also formerly employed by
the Alaskan Engineering commission
and located at Camp 66 as bam boss.
He has been in Anchorage for several
weeks and has repeatedly made the
remark that he was not satisfied with
the divorce proceedings and would
take the child at the first opportuni
ty.
Day before yesterday he went to
the French home at Camp 98 and on
some pretext or other got Mrs. French
to leave the home and he took the
child during her absence. Smith
brought the child to Anchorage and
took her to the home of Mrs. Matt
Button as Mrs. Button was a friend of
the family. Mrs. Button had previ
ously kept the child for several
months and did not anticipate that
there was any trouble connected witj}
the affair. ^
The child was turned over to Mrs.
French this morning and more details
of the case will probably come out in
tomorrow’s trial.

GETS A TEAR
“Rastus,” of ebony hue got his yes
terday when Judge Leopold David
sentenced him to six months in the
federal jail and added a fine of 500
bones, not the kind that Rastus has
been accustomed to but real money.
This is the equivalent to one year in
jail. Rastus has been an eyesore to
the people for several months and has
been a nuisance in many ways. He
overstepped himself yesterday and
while the charge filed against him was
assault it is understood that the of
fense was much more serious and the
judge was amply justified in giving
him the severe sentence. At least it
will keep from pan-handling on
Fourth avenue for quite a spell. ~
J. E. Chovin received a telegram
from Seattle this morning reporting
the death of his son Frank ia that
city. Frank Chovin wns afflicted with
tubercular trouble anl left for Seattle
about five weeks ago to escape the se
vere Alaska winter and the report of
his death comes as a sad shock to his
parents and many frends. He was a
young man about 21 years of age and
an electrician by profession with a
promising future.
