KILLS ITS DRIVER
Fairbanks, Nov. 12.—Pete Peterson, of Dome creek,

out of the way, but was caught underneath and badly
crushed. He lay under the heavy sled for some time, until
he was discovered and released by men from an adjoining
claim. • He was suffering' intense pain, and lingered until
Friday, dying early that morning. His funeral was held
Monday in Fairbanks.
Fairbanks, Nov. 12.—Last Friday a Keystone drill op
erated on the right limit of No. 13 b., on Dome creek, found
the paystreak which has been unsuccessfully sought for in
that portion of the creek for the past three years. Since
gold was first-found on Dome the miners have never been
able to locate the pay between Nos. 7 and 14 below, and
thousands of dollars have been spent in the search. Now
that it haa been discovered on No. 13, no trouble is antici
pated in locating it for the remainder of the distance. The
people of Dome creek are greatly elated over the find.
Standard OH Win Several Feints
Chicago, Nov. 12.—The United States Court of Ap
peals today denied a motion for the rehearing of the case
against the Standard Oil Company, in which fines amount
ing to over $29,000,000 had been imposed upon the com
pany by Judge K. M. Landis. This is the' second defeat
the government lias met in the prosecution of this company
under the interstate commerce act, and would seem to indi
cate that this act is not equal to the necessities of the case.
Attorney-General Bonaparte will now try and bring the ac
tion within the jurisdiction of the supreme court.
Guinness Woman's
Accomplice on Trial
Laporte, Ind., Nov. 12.—The selection xof the jury for
the trial of Ray Laniphere on the charge of being impli
cated with the Gainness woman in her many atrocious mur
ders was begun here today. Lamphere was a farmhand
employed by the woman on the place, but he claims that he
was as much in ignorance of the real nature of affairs on
the farm as were the neighbors. The Guinness woman has
apparently made good her escape.

covery of the injured man.

Hot Springs Camp No. 24, Arctic
Brotherhood, is growing in member
ship as regularly as one week follows
another. At each weekly meeting from
one to four cheechacos are initiated,
and the ceremonies become more in
teresting as time goes on. Arctic Chief
Davidson has arranged the hall over
Traeger’s store in such manner to make
j it a very comfortable temporary lodge
' room. Many visiting Arctics have at
| tended the meetings and all expressed
| themselves as being greatly pleased at
I the local interest displayed in the
j young camp. Messrs. Smith and
| Crocker, old members of Camp Ram
part No. 15, were in attendance at last
Monday’s meeting, and helped the pro
gram to a lively extent.
The lodge’s pilgrimage to Kemper
ville on tho night of November 21 to
see that Brother Fred Howard opens
and conducts his new roadhouse to
their liking, is an event eagerly looked
forward to. It is proposed to make the
trip in big four-horse sleds, chuck full
of hay,, robes and people, tinhorns and
cowbells. It goes without saying that
“Old Man” Howard’s opening night
will be remembered in Kemperville
long after the dozen different names of
that settlement are forgotten.
The lodge’s entertainment committee
is perfecting arrangements for a big
dance and a Christmas tree during the
holidays. _

Ploa For a School.
Editor Post—No camp in Alaska has
had a brighter prospect than has Hot
Springs. Our growth has been steady
and substantial; but the time has come
when we must unite our energies and
work for everything that will upbuild
our town. If we would be the metrop
olis of this precinct we must foster an
active, aggressive spirit. As surely as
! we fail another camp will be started
within a year that will outstrip us.
There is nothing that will bring
more desirable citizens to build per
; manent homes among us than a good
j school. We haven’t the necessary num
ber of children for the government to
j establish a public school for us. As
the city is not incorporated all our li

Manley, written on the day following the wedding.
In a later letter Mrs. Manley stated that she and her
husband were going to Seattle, where they would spend a
few days, and would then continue on to New York.
The wedding of Mr. Manley and Miss Ries has proven
the source of much satisfaction to the many friends of both,
and all are wishing them a long and happy wedded life.
ernment. If we establish a good school
now, next year without a doubt we will
have the requisite number of children
to procure government funds, or should
we incorporate, our licenses would sup
port a good school. But for the pres
ent, for the very small sum of $250 the
citizens can give the children now in
our midst a year’s schooling. No build
ing is necessary as there are ladies in
our midst well qualified to do the work,
and one of whom would hold the school
in her own home.
The amount could easily be raised
among a few of our business men, but
we want our school to be the gift of
the people and every patriotic citizen
desires the privilege of contributing
something to the cause.

Bookmaker’s Big Fortune.
An unparalleled fortune for a book
maker has been left by George Cooper,
who collapsed while following his pro

morning from diabetin coma. His es

to £500,000.
Cooper was originally a stonemason

Poor Trails
Hurt Business
i
The past week has been the most
quiet that this city has experienced
for some time. The roads have been
in such poor condition owing to the
lack of snow, that very little freight
has been moving and but few miners
have come to town.
The snow is very slow about coming
this fall, not more, than two inches
having fallen up to this time, and un
less more falls soon it will cause great
inconvenience to the miners who .need
i their heavy machinery, and also the
freighters who have the contracts for
transfering it.
The lack of snow not only results in
' causing the stagnation of local travel,
| but delays many people from other dis
! tricts who intend coming to this local
! ity as soon as the trails are good.
