St. Michael's is unduly excited
over the prospective abandoning oi
the post, it would surely hurt the
place as the money spen by them is
nearly all that keeps the place alive
during the winter months. An
other reason is advanced, that while
the military has seldom been called
upon to aid the civil authorities, yet
the fact that they could be called
upon if necessity arose, prevented
the commission of crime, of the fact
that a couple of hundred miles of
coast and r’vrrs have t-vn depu
ty marshals to keep order is in itself
enough to show’ that any crime wave
could not be handled without a
larger force than the marshal could
without the aid of the military,
readily command.
A rather popular form of amuse

civilization would call it a series of

of the old fossils are getting tired
of it and if they, the youths, are

Mr. Wellman school principal
gives about twenty school children
their lunch in school every day. they

ever. Mr. Wellman is to be highly
commended for his generosity.
Fred Webster late of St. Michael's
is now prospecting with Job® Tilly
w'ho. like all genuine prospectors la
yet hopeful that the next hole will
show pay.
Charles Koen late postmaster and
commissioner is going to work for
the A. Y. N. as chief engineer on
the Meteor at St. Michael.
The A. Y. N. is going to discard
oil for wood both in St. Michael and
on the river boats, that is a step in
the right direction as it will give
employment to wood choppers, that
also prospect.

to meet Mr. Palmer, both will re
turn and superintend the remodell

Unalakleet. April 20, 1922
Privates McKenna and Carison
who were placed under arrest by the
commanding officer of Fort St. Mich
ael. for assault and battery upon
Margaret Sobert, were, after au of
ficial investigation turned over to
the civil authorities for trial.
The defendants were represented
by e^-commissioner Charles Koen
and a Jury trial was demanded, but
owing to the shortage of eligible
jurors in St. Michael the trial was
continued to give the marshal a
chance to come to Unalakleet to
summon the necessary jurors. The
jury was cosmopolitan in its charac
ter as religion was represented by
a missionary, the army by a couple
of officers and the natives by an
Esquimax, and the rest was plain
citizens.
Some delay arose over the fact
that there was no complaint in evi
dence and when it was discovered
it was found to be faulty, and a
motion by the defense for a dismis
sal of the case was denied by Com
missioner Williams.
The complaining witness, showed
evidence of having been roughly
handled, but did not recognise the
defendants as her assailants, nor did
she remember signing the complaint
or who assaulted her, her evidence
was also contradictory in character
