staying until one of the
e army buildings downtown
fixed up for them. The news of
ie fire reached Juneau about 3
clock that afternoon, and bv
)e time the Princess Nora left
ir Skagway, about 11:30, the
copie of Juneau had collected

iey will rebuild in the spring as
oon as they can start work,
here was $25,000 insurance on

”1 shall not soon forget the
fight of that lovely place burn
hg down, and fora time my
use and the other houses a
mnd here were in danger from
arks and burning pieces of
ood, etc. as there was a strong
ind blowing..."
A man on Mission road who
ents houses was recently having
rouble over one of his vacant
oes. Someone was surreptionsly
i-ing it, and also taking off with
terns in it.
So he decided to set a trap,
od appealed to the two minions
ad two Georges of the law(
leorge Slawson and George
lagnusen, for aid.
So one day recently they went
ot to the vacant house, scatter
d some cigarettes about and put
round a few item3 of a tempting
ature to one with sticky fingers

louse and sneaked upon it, one

eator ported with his weather I

ee above).
So the gentlemen turned off
ie light and left. We have wait

be trap would have a chance to
