Nome, Oct 20 ? A serious situation
# has confronted Nome merchants during
the past week. Longshoremen refuse,
according, to the lighterage companies,
to discharge the cargoes of ships and
the companies have issued a circhlar
stating that no member of the union
would be employed in the future. The
longshorvoun insisted upon recognition
of the union. Several meetings were
held and citizi ns appointed a committee
to bring the warring factions together
Their efforts were unsuccessful and the
greatest concern and indignation was ex
pressed by the public, which demanded
that the vessels be discharged regard
less of the merits of the controversy.
Sesoon & Co. finally yielded to the
demands of the union and are discharg
ing cargoes. The North Coast Llgther
age Company and the Nome Wharf
Company are doing work, but with
non-union m.-n. The strike affected the
Victoria, Olympia, Tampico, Oregon,
Senator, Valencia, Corwin, Occidental
and Vtga. The Valencia and Occiden
tal had lightered part o> tneir cargo
befor the trouble.
* SI1KA EXCITED
OViR QUARIZ FINDS
Since the strike was made on Chicha
goff :siand. stories of other finds made
by natives) have- beenf coming
in thick and fast says the Sitka Cable
gram. Th'? latest one was told to Geo.
KostrometinotT. It is to the effect that
large quantities of jade exist in a cave
on Kruzoff island. As the cave is on
the ocean side, it is impossible to reach
the locality now except by crossing the
island, a stiff walk at an; time of the
year.
It is claimed a platinum str'ke also
has been made on Chichagoff island.

SERVING A SUMMONS
[Original.]
Bernice Churcli was bora la the
army, brought up In the army and
should have married in the army. In
deed, when she was eighteen she was
engaged to Edgar Adams, a recent
graduate from the United States Mili
tary academy. But her father was
very much opposed to the match.
Adams was beloved by every one, but
he was a good deal of a scapegrace.
Franklin Swift, the sou of a wealthy
man, havlug manifested a desire to
marry Bernice, Colonel Church per
suaded her to break with Adams and
accept Swift
When Adams received notice of the
fact he simply remarked: "That makes
me a bachelor for life. I.et's have a
bottle of wine." The only change no
ticed In his demeanor was that he
fought harder than before.
Ten years passed. Adams, now a
captain, secured a year's leave of ab
sence for the purpose of studying cav
alry improvements abroad, and on his
way called upon his old tlame. lie
found her in great trouble. Her hus
band was iu a mire of debt one of her
children was very ill. she was herself
In bad health, and. to cap the climax,
her husband's father was at the point
of death. The condition of affairs re
quired that the husbaud get away in
order to escape service for awhile from
his creditors. Upon the death of hU
father he would inherit a fortune that
would enable liim to extricate himself.
But to leave under the circumstances
was next to Impossible. The result of
all this was that Captain Adams, with
the help of an Ingenious lawyer, as
sumed the debt and went Into hiding.
The case could not go on without
Adams being summoned.
For a month Adams, who was an ex
pert at Indian stratagems, found It
easy to elude the bailiffs. Then they
became as foxy as he. Having tracked
him to the country place of one of his
friends they set their wits to work to
get him where they could read the sum
mons to him. One evening Just before
dark Adams heard a furious firing In
the grounds, and, true to a soldier's In
stincts, rushed out with a revolver;
but seeing a man coming for him with
a paper In his hands, the captain tired
several bullets over his head, checked
bis career and retreated to the house.
Soon after this attempt to serve him
Adams was standing one morning at a
window when a company of the state
militia marched down the road not far
from the house. Their commander In
trying to have them countermarch got
them Into confusion. Adams threw up
the sash and called the proper direc
tions. While he was shouting the or
ders a man emerged from behind a
tree, at the same time fumbling In his
side coat pocket. Adams caught sight
of him Just as he drew a paper and
closed the sash.
This escape made him more cautious
for a time, but confinement was Irk
some to him, and he made an occasion
al sally in disguise. One evening at a
restaurant a man at a neighboring ta
ble made offensive remarks to him, and
Adams, going over to where he sat,
slapped his face. The man did not at
the time seem disposed to follow up
the affair, but the next day Adams re
ceived a challenge from one Tucker.
Adams naturally inferred that the
man was the one he had had the quar
rel with, but wondered how the fellow
knew who -he was. However, he was
too much of a fighter to avoid any en
counter and accepted promptly. He a!
once sent for a brother officer, and the
affair was arranged to come off at
dawn In order to avoid the bailiffs.
Before leaving the house the grounds
were searched, and the coast being
clear the party drove away in a closed
carriage. Finding the others already
at the appointed place, the ground was
paced oil and the principals placed in
position. Suddenly from behind neigh
boring trees a number of men steppe:!
forth and surrounded the combatants.
Then Mr. Tucker, throwing down his
weapon, pulled a summons. Adams,
disgusted at the turn the affair had
' taken, raised his pistol, aimed at the
paper and put a hole through It, at
the same time sending It Boating on
the morning breeze. He then knocked
down three of the men surrounding
him, but the paper was recovered and
read to him before he could get away.
The doughty captain returned to the
bouse be had been hiding In, much
disgruntled at having been the victim
of so well laid a trick. The truth Is
the man who had Insulted him In the
restaurant was one of the detectives
watching for him, suspected his Iden
tity and had insulted him purposely.
The captain had been shadowed on his
way home and the challenge sent to
trap him, but on his return he found
a telegram that Mr. Swift, senior, was
dead and there was no further neces
sity for his hiding.
Thus it was that Captain Adams
saved the fortune of the man who had
taken the girl he loved from him, and
by doing so kept the family from ruin.
As soon as his services could be dis
pensed with he proceeded on his trip,
followed by the blessings of those he
had served. On his return he hunted
up the man who had fired a summons
at hiu lujtcad of a bullet and Induced
him to enter the secret service depart
ment of the army.
Ten years lated Adams, then a
?olonel, returned to visit the Swifts.
He found both father and mother dead,
but in their oldest daughter be saw
the counterpart of his old love. His
exploits with the detectives had caught
her fancy when a girl of ten and she
was ready to fall In love with the
middle aged colonel. And so the for
tune be had saved for his rival he
found useful to his own wife.
