SAYS NOTABLE SUCCESS.
Dr. Neuman is in receipt of a let
ter from Walter Shields at the con
clusion of the Noatak Fair which
■was a signal success. Five records
were broken by the deermen there
these being the sled lashing contest
the harnessing and hitching contest
the long lasso throw, the wild bull
race and the four deer race. Every
herd was represented except that al
Shungnak which did not show ui
any delegates. Five men came from
Barrow and took part in the pro
ceedings, being greatly interested
The sled making contest was badly
beaten by Igloo fair last year. The
“Ipanee matches”, fire making by
primitive methods, were very inter
esting and many old forms of pro
ducing fire were shown. Plans says
.Mr. Shields for the Igioo Fair now
perfected will make the coming
event a record breaker in every way
and will be worth while going miles
to see. They will have one ten deei
team in the parade, two eight deer
teams, three four deer teams and
any number of three deer teams in
the event.

records will show" he told the cross
| examining attorney. He admitted
that he faced charges of man
slaughter, assaults, bribery and
bootlegging. He was calm and fre

'the most damning admission to the
attorneys. The witness said that he
paid Gill four thousand dollars to

Vanderveer engineered the Gill
bribe.
He introduced the Rev. Dr.
Mathews into the case when he
testified that he had warned him,
the witness Billingsley, that he
(.Mathews) knew Gill had been
bribed, and unless he eonfessec
Logan would be sent to the peni
tentiary.
Billingsley admitted this as the
reason for his turning federal wit
ness in the case.
Cool as was Billingsley through
out the case, Gill and Beckingham
were still cooler and less worried.
They appear very confident and en
joyed the cross fire from their at
torneys when Billingsley was on the
stand, especially when the govern
ment tried to save him from admitt
ing his criminal career.

An inquiry into the man's affairs j
disclosed that he got away with j
$25,000 and that he was short that
much in his accounts. He had by
a method said to be almost imposs
ible ol discovery so garbled his ac
counts that he had been able to
embezzle throughout quite a pro
tracted period.
Oberhelman had lived beyond his
means and was addicted to stock
speculation. This probably caused
his downfall.
