ALL SKAGIT WAS GUEST OF
VOLUNTEER EIRE DEPARTMENT
At 3:37 o'clock this morning the
"All Out" gong was sounded, and
the greatest spontaneous social
even* of the season was brouglit to
an end.
The huge fire gong sounded out
lounJ and clear, for the start off
ia tlie grand march at the Volun
teer Firemen's annual ball at 9:30
o'clock last night, and after those
present had partaken of the spec
tacular grand march, waltz follow
ed two step, and Cfcillian circle
followed fox trots in such rapid
succession that tho guests of this
popular aggregation of fire fight
ers had no opportunity of think
ing o* home or tired muscles.
The ball was a success. From
a social event it stands out pre
eminent in the wintre's social cal
endar as the premier. From a fin
aucial stand-point it is the climax
of all balls. Not one tteket was
k»* iu the hands of the commit
tee. and from the big crush that
wag present, each audi every; ticket
sojd was evidently presented at the
door in exchange for permission to
enjoy the time of times ia Skag
way's history.
Seventeen numbers were on the
program and four extras were add
ed for good measure.
The Skagway Brass Band played'
for fhe regular dances, and had
one been in some large hall ia the
states where the services of pome
famous marine or military ban(i
dispensed thd music, it could not<
have excelled that which tofal mu
sicians rendered last night.
For the four extras. Professor
Selmer's orchestra was in evidence,
and .It is hard tcx say which musioal
aggre^atioa merited, the most
praise, the lwoid or the orchestra.
When the merry throng had reacli
ed the eleventh number on the
program, and thought that it was
time to look up| partners for the
twelfth number which was a fox
trot, hosts of Firemen were press
ed into service and for the next
half hour Epicure was in evidence.
Delicious sandwiohgs, savory coffee,
■dainty cake, served, in lavish style
was voraciously consumed by the,
hungry dancers and spectators.
The service having fceen removed,
the dacoe was again on in full
merry swing, and not until the
last strains of Home Sweet Home
hud died away did any one of the
joyou-3 throng think of taking their
departure,
Yes, it was a success, and1 Skag
way has vindicated itself hy show
ing its loyalty to the Volunteer
Fire Department.

w=Notas
Tiie basket ball game played
las4. Wednesday night wag one of
the best in the Skagway League
series, and was well attended, show
iujr tha* basket ball ag played this
eeas n by the Skagway teams is
meet'ng with the greatest enthu
siasm by the fans of thig city.
It was war to- the knife with the
twi» teams, and while considerable
mixing Vos indulged in, still there
was really rnorg open play, and
less rough work in this game than
iu any of the previous games
played.
During the game a bad collision
between Judd Mathews and Bert
McKeuzie with Cole figuring in the
mslee resulted in a knockout to
Mathews, but he got back into the
game and while playing in hard
luch by reason of hig condition,
•s'uclr with his team to the end.
The score at tihe final gave the
game to the Firemen, by ten points,
tho team runnning up a total of
21 points over 11 for the Elks.
Harry Ask scared on 5 free
baskets and 1 field goal; Mc
Kenzie made three beautiful long
free goals, and Friedenthal three
goals, while Oleon Ask completed
the score with 1 field goal.
Gillespie basketed the ball for
a total of five free throws, and'
m.'de 1 field basket. Rapuzzi made
one field throw, ard Cole did like
wise.
At the end of the first half it
was anybody's game, the score
being 7 to 6 in the Firemen's fa~
vor.
When the Firemen made thefr
first appearance, it was- hard to- dis
tlnguiseh one player from the other,
the team having received their new
suits, and they aire brilliant in
color, being orange and black jer
seys and white pants. The hose
are the same color as the jerseys,
and a.' this is the first team to
appeatr in regular suits, their ap
pearance was tihe signal for loud
and long applause.
Th- usual dance followed the
game, and the music furnished by
band beys was up to its usual stand
ard of excellence.

(Continued from sage 1)
Hundreds of eyes wandered from
Judge to comvicted man. Hundreds,
in a hushed silence, heard the
words. For the most part they
were not morbid eyeg. They, simply
took in a scene where heinous crime
wag receiving it# punishment, where
justice was being told.
" and be hanged by. the neck
until you are dead."
Powerless under the law to im
pose any penalty except that of
death, Judge R. W. Jennings late
Saturday evening pronounced! sen
tence on Edward Krause, convictr
ed murderer of Captain James O.
Plunketi.
When the court convened for the
purpose of sentencing Mr. Krause,
Juder Jennings told Mr. Krauczun
aa that ha would hear his re
marks, at the close otf which he
called Krausg forward1 and said:
"Mr. Krause, the Grand Jury in
dicted you and the petit jury con
victel y»u after a fair ajnd impar
t?al trial, under the law of the
land aB the court sawi it. If the
court made errors another and
higher court can correct them. If
they were n« mistakes the orders
of this court will be carried out.
1 ' I' ia not a pleasant duty which
confronts the court to pronounce
sentence on you and I am not going
to deliver any lecture or prolong
this matter to make you feel any
worse.
It is the judgment of the court
tha4- on the 11th day of May you
be taken bE the United States Mar
shal for this District pf Alaska amd
be hanged by the neck until you are
dead."
Sentence as pronouncec la a iow
ton a of to ice ami'di a breathless
stillness. The hundreds Who crowd
ed the court room were intently
acd every more, o£ bo'h the man
hanging on everjr word, every; act,
ua&8in« sentence and the man on
whom sentence was being passed.
Immediately after the passing of
sentence, the hallway, which had
been, crowded with) spectators, was
cleared amd Edward Krause was
led back to his cell, never again,
perhaps to appear in, the local court
room, or ini any; court room, and he
will be closely confined and snatched
unt'l the end.
Kazio Kraucxunaa stated today
that he has every indention, of per
fecting an appeal of the cage to the
Circuit' Court, onf account of alleg
ed errors to, the trial both on part
of the Court and District Attorney^
He aae until the day of hte execu
