A Good Looking Man
To be really good looking a man must have a good
skin—a skin that is clear, sound and healthy. Such a skin is
bound to be accompained by a fine COMPLEXION, which
is the leading essential of good looks in either man or woman
But it is impossible to have a fine skin unless care is bestowed
upon it—especially in the case of men, who subject to
more exposure than women.

OX TRAIL OP WILLOW
CREEK MI RDERERS
Information is brought from the
1 Ulterior that officers aie hoi on the
trail of the prepotrators of the
Willow creek murders last sum
mer, and It is believed that they
will be apprehended shorly. The of
ficials of this division have worked
diligently on the cast* following
up every clue which presented it
self and at last gained knowledge
of the man who is believed to have
committed the murders.
Detective McGuire, who was re
cently in Cordova, was known to
be connected with the case, and as
the suspected man has gone out
side inquiry has ^developed the fact
that McGuire was a passenger on th
Mariposa southbound. The detect
ive spent several wa-ks in the vi
cinity of the place where the mur
ders were committed endeavoring to
pick up clues and running them
down. His search resulted in find
ing evidence which leads to the be
lief that, other murders may have
been committed. Prospectors, while
crossing the country, about two
miles from the place where the oth
er two bodies were found, discov
ered a pack and coat. The coat was
nearly new but tho 1 oclcets had
been cut out. It would appear as
though the murderer had thrust
his bloody hands into the pockets
of his coat and then cut out the
pockets to remove the tell tale
stains. It is possible that the pack
discovered was also the property of
the murderer. The'articles were
found near a cut off trail from the
scene of the murders to t'-K* Chitina
trail.
The murderer is believed to be
a Flnlander who was traveling in
company with the victims. He was
known to be broke when lie left
Fairbanks to walk out over the trail
to Valdcz. Later he turned up in
Chitina and McCarthy where he
spent several hundred dollars drink
ing and gambling. He claimed <o
have conio out from the Chisana.
He is known to have come to Cor
dova from McCarthy and McGuire
is believed to have received infor
mation that the man has gone out
side. J. F. Eaimett,formerly of
Fairbanks, was held in Seattle 011
request of the Valdez authorities
until his possible connection with
the case could be cleared up. He
had also gone to Chisana via Mc
Carthy but those who knew his
movements, do not believe that he
had anything to do with the mur
ders.
Few people are aware that Mc
Gvire is a detective with an inter
national reputation. He was with
the Burns Detective Agency for
some time before coming north. It
was through his efforts that the
Yukon government was able to ap
prehend and convict O'Brien, the
murderer of Clayson, Relfe and Ol
son, killed while they were enroute
to the coast from Dawson. The de
tective was given a free hand on
the case by the government and
when O'Brien was brought to trial
McGuire was able 'o account for ev
ery movement of the accused after
he left Dawson until he was arrest
ed on the upper Yukon as he was
trying to get out of the country.—
