WHISKERS VS.
WINE RACE

Old Vintage Reward for Longest
Hirsute Appendage on Octo-
ber 10th—Betting in Favor of
News Printer.

 

Everything grows prolifically in
British Columbia. Effulgent and
succulent skunk cabbage thrives
bountifully in B. C.; towns and
cities grow like mushrooms; trees
grow big and strong, delicate
children shipped in from other
provinces develop into muscular
citizens, but nothing grows with
greater rapidity or to better ad-
vantage than an hirsute appendage
or chi whiskers.

Down in the vaults of a local
hotel is a case of good old vintage
said to have been bottled when
Vancouver, the explorer and navi-
gator called in here for provisions.
Either Ben Self, a local chef, or
L. J. Baarlaer of the’ Daily News
staff will win that case of wine.
Whichever one has the longest
chin decorations on the 10th day
of October in the year of our
Lord 1911 will get it.

At the present running it looks
as if that delightful beverage will
come to the News office. Both
men are cultivating their chin
weeds as if they ‘were growing
roses for the Portland rose show.
Ben is trying a preparation of
sauerkraut and weiner paste to
aid the growth, while the News
printer is massaging the territory
round his organs of osculation
with gasoline and machine oil.

Half the boys in town are having
lots of fun over these, yet infant
growths. It requires courage to
grow whiskers these days.

A FAREWELL BANQUET

Pleasant Little Affair After the
Show was Over Last Night

After the performance was over
in the Empress Theatre last night,
the members of the May Roberts
Company and the members of the
Prince Rupert Orchestra were
guests at a complimentary banquet
in the Exchange Grill. Manager
Frank Stevens of the Empress
Theatre was the host, and a very
enjoyable time was spent. Fare-
wells were uttered by the members
of the company, who all declared
that Prince Rupert was one of
the best places they had ever|
struck, and many kind

during the week.

Hit a Candidate
The names of several Prince
Rupert gentlemen have been men-
tioned as nominees for the Con-
servative party in Comox-Atlin.
One of these was hit by a ball
at the indoor ball game the other

night. Someone in apology re-

marked that it was impossible|berland, a general merchant. The

TRAIN WRECK

Mr. W. D. Black had Narrow
Escape from Accident on the
Oregonian Express Three Day

Oregonian Express Three
Days Ago.
Fate made an overture last

Saturday to spoil the holiday of
Mr. W. D. Black, of the mechanical
staff of the Daily News. He was
travelling on the Oregonian Ex-
press running out of Seattle when
it collided with another train at
Burlington. Wash. Happily no-
body was hurt though there were
some very near escapes. It took
several hours to clear away the
wreckage. Mr. Black left here
last week on a few weeks’ holiday.

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED

Verdict of Jury on Death of
George Litchenauer

After a short deliberation last
night the jury empanelled to in-
quire into the cause of the death
of George Litchenauer who was
found dead near his shack last
Friday morning, returned a verdict
of accidentally drowned.

Dr. Eggert swore that according
to his deductions made from the
autopsy he held on deceased, death
was due to drowning. He described
the condition of the lungs, etc., in
his body. The position, condition,
and other incidents were explained
by Thomas Collins, who found the
body.

‘‘What condition was the ground
near where the body lay and where
there any rocks near it,’’ asked
Juryman J. J. Sloan.

“There were rocks near the
body, but the ground was smooth.”
Frank Pollock, formerly a part-
ner with deceased said he last
saw Litchenauer alive on Wed-
nesday night about 11.15 when
he was about to go across the

harbor to his shack. In_ the
estimation of witness the cause
of death was by falling into

the water when the old man tried
to step from his big boat to a
little skiff, which he used to get
in to shore after he anchored the
big boat. This theory the jury
considered was logical. Pollock
explained the feat of transferring
to the skiff was a difficult one even
