-®IITCH KID" MARTIN HAS
FAITH JN POORMAN STRIKE
En route to Seattle to visit his wife
♦until fall, Albin Martin, the "Dutch
IKid,” well knowa interior mining
man, departed for the coast from
■Fairbanks a few days ago, says the
Fairbanks News-Miner.
Mr. Martin is going to return to
Fairbanks in time to take one of the
Hast boats down to Ruby. He was
•Outside when the strike was made in
tthe Ruby district and immediately
jjoined the stampede. He has been at
tthe scene of the strike for the last*
:several months and obtained control
♦of considerable property, principally
Iby lease. He has five claims on Bea
v'er creek, where the first rich discov
ery was made.
In Mr. Martin’s opinion the out
Hodk for tne camp is extremely good.
♦On Beaver creek the three original
♦ discoverers have good pay and are
working now with a crew of 13 men.
Jack Shropshire and Billy and Alex
♦Gragen have crews on .a near-by
♦creek. The paystreak has been traced
for over a mile and, although it is
marrow, the pay is good, going around
a foot.
Next winter will see many pros
ipectors working, said Mr. Martin, and
mew finds may be made. He put down
: seven holes during the time he was in
tthe district.

SOL REED SHOT, KLLED
BY DEMENTED .LOGGER
(Fairbanks News-Miner*)
Sol Reed, 2 8year sold, son of Mark
Reed, prominent lumberman, who is
regarded as the richest man in
Washington, was shot and killed re
; cently at Shelton.
The deed was done by Arnold
George, aged 35, a logger who lost a
leg in an accident at the Reed log
ging camp more than a year.ago. He
kept brooding over his misfortune
until his mind became unbalanced. He
went in his wheel chair to the home
of Frank Reed, and seeing Sol on the
|lawn drew a gun and fired a shot that
I proved fatal. After slaying Reed,
! George turned the gun on himself
and ended his own life. Sol Reed
was a nephew of the late Judge
Thomas M. Reed of Juneau and a
cousin of Irving McK. Reed of Fair
banks.
At one of the Hon. Joseph Cham
berlain’s speeches in Birmingham the
hall was so densely crowded with en
thusiastic admirers that e»it or en
trance while he was talking was out
of the question. Suddenly in the
middle of an especially eloquent ap
peal, a sour-faced man arose in the
front of the house .and shook an ac
cusing finger at the speaker.
“What did Mr. Gladstone say in
1872?” demanded the .disturber in
astentorian tones.
“Put him cut! Put him out!” came
from all parts of'the hall.
“1 repeat,” continued the sour
faced man, “what did—”
Before he could get further he was
being kicked and jostled down the
aisle and into the street.
A friend, meeting the ejected. one
next morning, said: “Well, they cer
tainly gave it to yqu good an* *ard at
the meeting last night, an* wot’s more
you certainly deserved it. But, I say,
Jock, just wot what it Mr. Gladstone
said in 1872?”
“I reall y*aven*t the slightest idea.
I only kno wthat I ’ad an orful head
I only know that I had an orful tooth
ache, ail’ .the only possible way to get
out o’ thatbloomin” mob was to get
thrown out.”
