Former-Spokane Its Are Safe In Alaska. Former Spokane Its Are Safe In Alaska. Ray F. James, former state game director and Mr. and Mrs. Glen Collins, all three formerly of Spokane, are alive and safe after being "lost" a solid month in the wilds of Alaska, the Associated Press reports. For Deputy Prosecutor Carl Quackenbush, news that James has been "found" is of especial interest. Two weeks ago when first reports came out of the north, he announced James was a man he had been looking for for two years —to serve warrants sworn to by two different "wives," charging family desertion. The dispatch today from Seward, Alaska, reports the Seward Gateway received a message from James from aboard the mail steamer Starr. No Details. The message from James gave no details. The steamer Starr left Seward early Sunday for Kodiak and is due back Tuesday night, the Associated Press reports. Warrants for the arrest of James were sworn out in August, 1935, by Vivian Rolfe James, whom he married at Lewiston, Idaho, in 1926, and by Mildred James, to whom he is alleged to have been married in Spokane in 1927. Both have since secured divorces, it is Mr, Collins, who left here some years ago, was widely known as a speed boat enthusiast and winner of many racing trophies. He was employed in and around Spokane and Portland as a stage driver. His wife is a former Wenatchee or Chelan girl, her parents living in Vancouver, Wash. The two went to the far north to try their hand at trapping.
