FOLLOWING UP
Our last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasons;
lhe first reason is that we are $1000.00 to the good.
The second reason is fhat we have demonstrated to the
public the unreliability of rumors, and we are sorry to say that
owing to the same persistent and pernicious agitation many of
our citizens are placing confidence in such malicious rumors
which are intended to injureNome for some hidden purpose.
The true development. of locality is never based on a mush
room growth it takes arduous and patient work to bring and keep
section prospering.
At this time more than any other time (Excepting few war
conditions which no good American will run away from)
Nome's future looms up brighter than ever and those who remain
to assist in bringing the daynearer will reap the benefit.
LEST YOU FORGET
We want to also impress upon your mind that we have not relented
in the grocery business, we carry the best of goods and we are sell
ing them at right prices.

SENSATIONAL ACT
BY DIVER OFFICERS
WASTPORT, Maine,—Miss Walla
Wilson was stopped and held up hy
two men in uniform near here and to
her horror when they started ques
tioning her she observed that they
wore the uniform of the German navy
and belonged evidently to a German
submarine. They threatened to kill
her if she betrayed them and then
demanded at the point of their pistols
information about ports and Bank
schooners, fishing ships and the ca
pacity of the steamers plying in local
waters. Miss Wilson was picked up
jnnerved by her trying experience
jut gave a vivid description of the
men who stopped her.
AN ATLANTIC PORT,—The Brit
ish steamer, Dunwegan Castle was re
ported sumbarined off Fire Island.
ALLEGED NOME MAN
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
SEATTLE,—C. S. Huber, giving
his residence as Nome, who arrived ^
on the Victoria, was taken into cus-!
tody on landing here.
Federal agents apprehended the
man when he reached the dock. The
charge against him is the utterance of j
alleged seditious remarks on the way
down from the Alaskan port.
NOTE:—An examination of the)
passenger lists of either the Watson j
or the Victoria does not reveal any |
such name as Huber, and although
here was a man here of that name, as i
far as can be gathered, no one knew
lhat he went outside.
What the seditious remarks utter
ed were the brief dispatch above
printed does not state.
Few people appear to be acquaint
ed with any man of this name, and
it is quite possible that the name
given in the dispatch has been mut
ilated by the correspondent or in the
course of its transmission here.
NAVY DEPARTMENT
SAYS COAST CLEAR
WASHINGTON,—Yesterday even-|
Jng the Navy Department reported
that four fishing schooners were sunk
by the fishing trawler Triumph which
was seized by a German diver, and
on which guns were placed and which
is now functioning with a German
crew as a raider.
The crews of the sunken trawlers
have been safely landed and reported
the heavy attacks made by the former
trawler.
The same submarine that has been
operating off the North Atlantic coast
in the vicinity of Nova Scotia is blam
ed for the seizure.
Canadian naval patrols are now en
gaged in hunting for the trawler.
WASHINGTON,—The Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt in
a signed statement says that the
torpedoing of any ships off the At
lantic coast is now only an accident
and that mines oftener than torpe
does are responsible for sinkings, the
German U boats have promiscuously
sowed mines in these waters. The
coast, says the Assistant Secretary
has been practically cleared of Ger
man submarines.
There is no intimation given that
the divers have been sunk, but from
the significant statement of Roose
velt such an interpretation can be
made.
The statement has been received
with intense satisfaction, so many
alarmist reports have been ni cir
culation that a general note of an
xiety was observable in press and
among the public.

U BOAT HIT SAYS
BRITISH STEAMER
AN ATLANTIC PORT,—The Brit
ish steamer Thespis, arrived in this
port today and reports a battle with
a German submarine in the Atlantic, j
The diver fired a torpedo at the Thes- j
pis but clever maneuvering of the]
steamer saved the ship, the torpedo!
posaing however within thirty feet of
the ship’s stern.
The crew of the Thespis opened
fire upon the U boat and after a short
engagement the Thespis gunners
scored what is believed to be a hit.
At any rate the diver disappeared.
WEDNESDAY’S SUMMARY IS
RECORD OF SUCCESSES
LONDON,—Wednesday’s summary
af the various war reports show a con
tinuous gain for the Allies, with the
latter hitting the Germans in a va
riety of directions and with no cessa
tion in the hard blows that were
struck.
The French are overcoming all op
position between the Aisne and the
Oise and their penetration in one sec
tor brings them within a mile of the
all important town of Noyon, the
scene already during the past year of
bitter and determined fighting. The
evacuation of this place is expected
c
at anytime and the Germans are be
ginning Wednesday evening to fire
their ammunition dumps, the glow t
of which can be seen thru the dense r
smoke screen that has followed. J
General Mangin’s left flank has ad
vanced a total of three times today t
with the Germans backing up upon t
contact. A mile each advance being e
registered in this heavy fighting. f
The most important and in many t
ways the most sensational fighting
today brought General Byng the hero j
of Cambrai last winter into the lime- i
' light and under somewhat similar ;

NOTICE OF FORFEITURE
ro John Ellis, your heirs, executors,
administrators and assigns:
You and each of you are hereby
notified that the undersigned has
depended in labor and improvements
the sum of one hundred dollars
luring each of the years of 1914,
1915, and 1916, upon the following
described placer mining claim, sit
uate, lying and being in the Cape
Nome Recording Precinct, Alaska,
to-wit:—
The “Allie” claim on Snake river,
as described in location notice there
of filed for record in the office of
the Recorder of said Recording
district on the 4th day of January,
The daily toll of prisoners will be
exceedingly large, but no estimate
has been made. On the Picardy front
behind the French lines they have
been coming in droves quite numer
ously.
German plans for a fall offensive
have evidently been shot to pieces
by the sledge hammer blows that the
Allied forces have been delivering all
along the western front for the past
month.
The Germans are backing up their
old lines with more or less rapidity
but fighting all the way.
1904, and recorded therein in vol
ume 133, at page 344.
You are further notified that if
within ninety (90) days after the
publication of this notice you fail
or neglect to contribute your pro
portion of such expenditure, your
interest in said mining claim if any,
will become the property of the un
dersigned, your co-owner, under
section 2324 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States.
