Old Chinaman Dies
• At Sitka Has A
Big Funeral
Silica. April 6.—The people of
Sitka united yesterday in paying
their last respects to one of the old
est of their citizens, George Gee. At
all times this Chinaman has •hown
liimself a good American citizen in
every respect. What greater tribute
can one receive from his fellow men?
Since coming to Sitka some 20
years ago. Mr. Gee has spent much
of his time working for tlw navy de
partment. Of late years lie has been
in business for himself, running a
small restaurant. His kindness and
open heartodness has left a perman
ent mark on the hearts of the people,
especially the natives, who were his
main patronage.
It is another most interesting fact
that t'is strage Chinaman is one of
the few survivors of "Custer's last
fight." George Gee was "t'ookee"
for General Custer, and he and an
other servant, at command from the
general, left to shift for themselves
about two hours before the massacre
M't> r hiding under a bluff for some
hours, they ventured out and made
good their escape.
Since Mr. Gee had embraced none
of the churches and in view of the
i'.ict of his good honest life, both in
the service and out of it. the Ameri
can I., gion undertook the funeral ar
rangements. some of its members
acting as pallbearers. A short but
appropriate service was held by the
post chaplain. K. M. Hansen, at the
cemetery, before the interment.

Collier Stops DeAr

Legion Smoker
That was all there was to it! But
[DeArmoml lay stiff In one corner of
| the ring, with Jack Wilson wigwag
ging away the 1X> precious seconds.
At the stroke of 10 Paul still re
: mained rigid, with the glazed look in
his eyes that spelled *'K. O." And
while the cheers of the boxing fans
| still rocked the old A. B. hall, he
I slowly began to realize that Joe Col
I tier had belted him into the land of
dreams in the last half of the ve^y
first round, with a wicket right erus.s
[to the chin.
l-'ans Da/ed
For a few seconds the spectators
had been just as dazed as UeArmoiul
They could hardly believe their eyes,
but after Jack Wilson's husky rigl'.t
arm came down for the last time,
pandemonium broke loose, with Jue
Colliers' seconds giving him congrat
ulatory hugs and his friends throng
ing the corner.
The scrap between the two big bovn
looked like an even bet when the two
battlers stepped into the center of
the ring. If anything, De Armond's
physique^ light below the hips, broad
licavv shoulders, and his deliberate
easy movements, full of confidence,
in the first seconds of sparring, made
even tl.e Collier supporters filol
doubtful.
Snappy Footwork
Then Collier scored lightly witn a
right jab to the fare. De Armotid
missed, but recovered gracefully and
landed on Joe's body and face, bolli
fighters covering space lightly.
Collier clinched, with PeArmond's
right free. Do Arinond struck a hook
blow that landed on the Juneau fav
orite's body with the impact of a
piledriver. It was a wicket punch.
Do Armond's right missed Collier
by a wide margin, the later crowd
ing the Seward soldier to the ropes.
For a second the give and take look
ed wild.
Suddenly, in free open sparring,
from out the maze of moving arms.
Joe's left brot De Armoud's guard
to the belt, and a terrific right cross
to his chin dropped him for the
count.
WIFE HIDES IN HACK SEAT AS
Hl'HRY TAKES STEXO. HIDING
Aurora. 111., April 5.—In Aurora
there is an automobile adage,
"When a-touring going, look in the
hack seat." the incident out of which
the proverb grew came up in the
Kane county court at Geneva, dur
ing the hearing of a divorce case in
which Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Schmitt
of Aurora Were principals.
Mrs. Schmitt said that her husband
an electrician, went riding one even
ing with his bookkeeper. Miss Nel
lie Schiple. neglecting to look in the
back seat, where she had hidden her
self under some rugs. From this
vantage point she said she could
hear her husband and Miss Schiple
billing and cooing.
When the spooning was intensely
ardent, Mrs. Schmitt averred, she
rose up and thrurst a cruel hatpin
into Miss Schiple, who jumped and
shrieked. The alarmed hisband
throttled his car. The girl leaped
out of the machine and ran. She re
fused to stop, although Mr. Schmitt
called and promised to protect her
and to take her home.

Juneau Fire Laddies
Get Some Wild
Animals
Wild animals arrived for th<? Ju
neau lire department on the steamer
Admiral Watson last night. They
were confined in a wooden cage
marked "Borden's Condensed Milk."
Perhaps to say that they were wild
is a little inaccurate; they were wild
with hunger, lhough.
People in the office of the Pacific
Steamship Company stood around
and petted them, after the fashion of
humans.
Out to hreak the suspense, the
si range cargo consisted merely of
two three-week-old black pups of
doubtful ancestry, although it was
stated by several experts that they
were setter pups.
Opinion was divided, however, as
is always the case with pups whose
parents are not in sight. The mas
cots of the fire department have not
been named yet. Some day they'll
be just plain dogs with the rest of
the Juneau pack, but now they make
Jtnv human feminine exclaim:
"Oh. aren't they just too cute for
anything!"
Perhaps one of the pups will be
named "Wickersham"; who can tell'.'
