Class Prophecy TINIE: 1970 PLACE: WAGRUB, ALASKA, U.S.A. Wagrub, Alaska is usually aquiet town. Some old timers, such as David McLendon, can recall when there was only the old Humphrey village trad- ing post here, where very few necessities could be purchased, let alone luxuries, as can now be found in the more modern Humphrey store. It isn't so quiet in Wagrub today..it's a booming place, and like most boom towns, you'll find the bad merging their way in to corrupt the good. But thank goodness, the town has a wonderful hard working parson and sheriff who try to keep things going good. In the event they fail, there's Graham Carter, the mortician. He has only been in Wagrub about a year, after old Chinnis McCoy passed on. The rumor is that he died while Doc Taylor was treating him for dig-iteous . One of the town characters, Freddy Gorsky, whom we find always cracking jokes, said old Mr. McCoy took his worktoo seriously and decided to put his all into his profession. Over in Humphrey' s store, we find Mrs. Jennings Humphrey fthe former Charlotte Richardsonl and her husband, getting ready for the rush. It was expectedto be an exciting day and everyone wanted to be prepared for any- thing. However, they didn't expect to have this particular kind of excite- ment. Miss Jean Lanier and Miss Betty Lanier were right there helping them, too. Sheriff Richard Brown rides up in his 1970 Mercury and begins posting signs of two women who werewantedfor Breach of Promise. Their photos looked familiar, and then we realized they were known back home in 1960 as loose affections until now when two gentlemen cladthemselves withbrav- ery and took their cases to the District Attorney Stacy Covil in Nome, a city about 175 miles north of Wagrub. D. A. Covil had circulated word to lawmen in nearby towns that these gent-jilters , Judy Autry and Alice Groves, were wanted for breaking the hearts of John David Watkins and Ray Blanchard and Ervin Wells. Excitement of our visit to town had died, and had all built up around two other visitors. These were none other than the two women wanted by the law. Sheriff Brown hadbeen notified that these women had been seen going into the back door of Judy's Saloon. It was hard to believe that Miss Judy McCoy would harbor any outlaw. But it seems that Miss Judy was an old acquaintance of these two wanted women and possibly it was difficult for her to turn them in to the Sheriff. Well, it was time for the parson to step in and do whatever he could. But, on second thought, Rev. Dewey Padgett didn't want to put himself on the spot by being in a saloon with these three women, so he took along his wife, the former Ellen Caryl Futch. The Rev. and Mrs. Padgett wrapped themselves in their cloak of duty-bound courage. They marched into Miss Judy's den of iniquity, with heads high, as if they were afraid to look down, lest they fall into this pit of ungodliness. And incidentally,'they would have fallen, literally had not Bartender Worth Beverage warned them not to trip over an Eskimo, who was sprawled out on the floor, taking a nap. Rev. Padgett said he had never seen so much Devil' s Brew in one place in his life unless it was the time he was conducting a meeting up in the hills of North Carolina, some years ago, when he met up with Peggy Batson and her employees Phyllis Sherman, Bobby Taylor and Patricia Tatum who were manufacturing some of that same kind of snake-biting remedy. 6
