FOUNTAIN PENS
$2.50 to $4.00
mo speed merchant, champion marathon
artist of the Berin Sea coast, and the
hero of a hundred long and hard-fought
races, arrived in Seattle early this morn
ing on the steamship Senator, and for
the first time in his life saw a sky
scraper, an elevator, an automobile, a
street car and a hundred other things
which are common to the white man,
but marvels of creation to the Eskimo
mind.
“Him plenty big igloo,” grunted
Split, when he saw the tall buildings
along Second avenue, and then he spent
considerable time in figuring out just
wThere the dog team that caused the
street cars and automobiles to run along
the street had been concealed.
Split is accompanied by Mike Sawin
a Fairbanks pedestrian, and the pair
are willing to take on some of the
champions in the locality.
Beyond question Split is the great
est boy runner that ever lived. In a
big Marathon race at Nome, three years
ago, he ran every dog musher in the
country off his legs before the twenty
fifth mile was reached. He ran a ten
mile race in 61 minutes, flat, on a 24
lap track indoors, which is four min
utes outside the world’s record. The
tra'ck when measured later was found
to be 1167 feet too long.
Split-the-Wind is a great dog fanci
er, but he hasn’t much use for babies.
On one occasion lie offered to trade his
sister’s baby for a fine malamute pup.
The trade might have been consummat
ed had his sister not raised strenuous
objections.
The latest feat of the boy wonder <f
the North was to defeat with his -log
team the time made over a seven miie
course by Ablakok’s racing reindeer.
The reindeer covered the distance in
35 minutes 8 seconds. Split-the-Wind
is one of the only two dog mushers in
the North who was able to beat that
time. He traversed the course in 34
minutes 42 seconds. Unfortunately, he
lost a dog en route, and was disquali
fied, one of the rules of the Kennel
Club being that every dog that starts
in a racing team must return in the
same team, either dead or alive. The
time of the reindeer was later beat m
by Sol Warren's team of Missouri ■birl
hounds.
Split will browse around Seattle in
vestigating a number of strange and
most wonderful things—to him, and
if in the meantime there are any run
ners who would like to measure strides
with him, he would be very please! to
consider the proposition.
THE JAJANESE SUNDAY
FISHEES ABE BOUND OVER
The twenty-two Japanese arrested
near Ketchikan for illegal fishing on
Sunday, were all bound over to the
January term of the federal grand ju
ry by Judge Lyons, before whom the
information was laid as a committing
magistrate. Referring to these cases
the Ketchikan Miner says:
‘ ‘ Saturday morning Harry Clifford
Fassett, local representative of the
Fisheries bureau, caused the arrest of
one of the Japanese at Yes Bay on
the grounds that he was an alien, and
as such was not allowed to fish in the
waters of Alaska. Sunday evening,
Shortly after five o’clock representa
tives of the U. S. marshal’s office ar
rested twenty-one others on a penal
charge—fishing during the closed peri
od—Saturday to Monday. They were
brought to town with their fishing out
fit, Monday afternoon, and complaints
lodged against them for the violation
of the law. Tuesday morning they ap
peared in court represented by attor
neys Cosgrove and Ingersoll, who de
murred to the complaint on the charge
brought on the ground that the act un
der which they were arrested applied
to salmon only. Assitant Agent Harry
Clifford Fassett, of the Alaska salmon
fisheries, represented the government.
Arguments were presented by both
sides, and Judge Lyons took the matter
under advisement until Wednesday
morning. At ten o’clock on that day
he overruled the demurrer on the
ground that the law applied to all
fish irrespective of the use they were
fatties fUcKantia

of the America was also put on the
stand, but was not present at the
time of the arrest, nor had he seen
ening. Thursday night the matter
was taken up, all the Japanese being
in court. The government placed Har
ry Clifford Fassett on the stand, who
testified that he had gone to Yes Bay
Sunday evening, arriving shortly of
fer five o ’clock. He found two boat
loads of Japanese fishing with a purse
seine, and instructed Deputy United
States Marshal Schnabel to arrest them
all. The defense raised the point as
to whether the men under arrest had
actually caught herring, but the Court
ruled that under the code it was not
necessary to actually take fish, the at
tempting to do so being enough. Schna
bel followed, corroborating Fassett,
and he in turn was succeeded by Mar
shal Faulkner, who stated that he had
taken the names of thp defendants and
produced them in court. Capt. Kelly
going to be put to, and set the time of
hearing for eight o’clock, Thursday «v
them fish at any time. The defense
raised no evidence in rebuttal, Attor
ney Cosgrove simply asked that the
bond for the appearance of the ac
cused men be made as reasonable as
possible. District Attorney Rustgard
agreed that as in all probability the
fine would be a nominal one, his office
would be satisfied with a small bond
for the men ?s appearance before the
next grand jury, so the Court fixed the
bail at $1000.00 for the entire crowd,
$50.00 to be forfeited for the non-ap
pearance of any one of the prisoners
when needed for trial, in case the
grand jury brought in true bills against
them, and their interpreter was given
until Monday morning to raise the
cash bond.
