The reason so much publicity is
being given to Mr. Bannan, 1b due
to the fact that it Is he that is
attending to the arrangements for
the "Imp of Darkness" dance that
Camp Skagway No. 1, Arctic Bro
therhood is going to give tomorrow
night to commemorate the passing
of the shortest day and the "begin
ning of the lengthening ol the day
light. . .'k ftMNf!
Although at first It was be
lieved that little time could be
de-voted to special features of this
dance, ino commit
te« doaldeid to put
forth one last effort
and bring Ihifl year's
dance up to the promln
once of trie aaucea 01 previous
years. Let it suffice, therefore If
we quote Mr. Hannan, "There will
be things doing" <md let it go at
that. i . t .

To Herbert Shearer must go the
laurel for having been the first to
"bag" one of the jvolves that
have been making night hideous by
/r dismal hawlings, and between
howls, throwing the scare into the
townspeople to such an extent that
they have feared to "roam from
their own fireside."
The successful hunter after lay
ing In wait for the past several
nights near Seaman's barn, had his
patienc# rewarded at about 1:30
o'clock this morning, wken a pack
of four of the beasts stole cau
tiously into view of the alert Her
bert. When the smoke of battle
cleared away, on« at the band
lay stiff and stark. It weighed
about 60 pounds.

we had only- rifles and prqbablq a

We done all the charging and of
course lost a lot of men, but we
always gained our objective. You

us do you? They know better.
