MARSHAL RAIDS
A POKER GAME
Fairbanks, Oct. 22.—Andy Harkeson’s cigar store, in the rear
of the Washington-Alaska bank on Second avenue, was raided by
the marshal on Sunday, and seven men in the place at the time
were arrested. It is alleged that at the time of their arrest they
were playing poker for money.
All those arrested were taken to jail. Bail was refused, and
all were forced to spend the night behind the bars. Monday
morning they were arraigned before the commissiQner and ad
mitted to bail at $50 each, which was promptly furnished by all.
Their trials will come up today and will be watched with interest
by the people in this city who are continually trying to raise the
lid. ’’
GUERRILLA WARFARE
WORRIES THE BALKANS
London, Oct. 22.---Open warfare has been in progress in Bos
nia and Herzegonia for the past ten days and scores have been
killed. More than one hundred and twenty thousand Austrian
troops are now in the field and it is expected that a formal declar
ation of war between Turkey and Austria will soon be made.
As yet there is very little known about the fighting that has
taken place and it is regarded by many as nothing but exaggerated
reports of guerilla warfare. The people of both countries, how
ever, are anxious to flight and it is thought that a conflict is
inevitable.
FIGHT CENTERS
THREE STATES
Washington, Oct. 22.—Senator Dixon today after a conference
with the President declared that the fight for victory in the com
ing election was centered in New Y^rk, Ohio and Indiana. He
said the candidate receiving the votes of these states would surely
be elected, as all others could be easily classed on either one side
or the other, and the balance of power laid in these three states.
Senator Dixon, however, is very optimistic over Taft’s chances
and says he is almost certain the big man will be elected.
Czar Nicholas
Very Sick Man
* St. Petersburg, Oct. 22.—The medical advisors of the czar
have issued orders that he ■ust leave Russia immediately and go
south or his health will be shattered.
Nicholas is a nervous wreck, and is apparently becoming in
sane over worry regarding state affairs, and also as to his personal
safety. It is now given out as an undeniable fact that unless he is
given some relief from the strain under which he is now suffering
he will soon become an incurable maniac.
Japanese Poachers
Soon to Be Tried
Valdez, Oct. 21.--The Japanese who were indicted by the
grand jury for sealing in American waters were arraigned today
and will plead Saturday. An interpreter will be found necessary
ja order to conduct the trial, and one will be appointed, as also
will counsel for the defense.

Road to River
Now Completed
The road from the Tanan*,.river to
Hot Springs was cut thi9 week, and
when more snow comes will be in first
; class condition. No more work will be
done on the road this winter, but next
summer it will be corduroyed in places
i where it is 90ft. Most of the way, how
ever, the ground is solid, and it will re
quire but little expense to make it a
good summer road.
The construction of the road was
under the supervision of Fred Date, of
I the Alaska road commission, and it re
quired only three days’ time to cut the
roadway.
This highway will prove of great
benefit to the merchants of this city in
i getting in their late-fall stocks—as
with this road one can always haul the
goods to this city as soon as they are
landed from the boats. This year there
is a large amount of tonnage at the
mouth of the slough that will have to
be freighted over the ice as the slough
froze before it could be brought up
here*
- This landing on the Tanana will also
prove a great convenience for passen
gers coming and going, as now they
will have to walk only a mile and a
half instead of six miles as formerly.
Want a
There is some talk among the ladies
of this town of circulating a petition to
get funds in order to provide for a
school. There are at present not
enough children in the district for the
government to establish a school, and
yet there are several at the age where
some instruction is necessary.
The idea is to get some lady with
spare time to teach the youngsters reg
ularly, and thus provide for the young
sters until such time as the govern
ment will be able to establish a regular
school. ___________
Stage Service
Starts Monday
The regular mail stage between here
aud Fairbanks will probably make its
first trip next Monday. Twelve horses
have been placed along the trail, four
at each relay station, and it is ex
pected that the records for fast time
will be broken this winter. J. Brice,
who has been in the employ of Mr.
Manley all summer, will take out the
first rig. ______________

Three Children
Die at Gibbon
Three children died at Fort
Gibbon last week within a
few days of each other. The
causes of the deaths were from
croup in one case and spinal
meningitis in the other two.
The little daughter of Andrew
Vachon, Alice* aged about nine
months, died Wednesday of
croup and was buried on Thurs
day.
Daniel, the six months old
child of William Burnyeat’, died
on Monday and was buried on
Tuesday.
Besides these two there was a
native child that died, both the
latter deaths being from spinal
meningitis.
Returns From
Trip to Tanana
Mr. L. E. Ward returned to
day from Tanana* where he
went last week on busimess.
Mr. Ward was much impressed
by the great progress that is
being made by the town at the
mouth of the river. The people
who live there, he say , are live
ones and if hustling will help a
town, the future of Tanana is as
sured. _
His Other Business
A Boston lawyer, who brought his
wit from his native Dublin, while
cross-examining the plaintiff in a di
vorce trial, brought forth the follow
ing:
“You wish to.divorce this woman be
cause she drinks?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you drink yourself?”
“That’s my business,” angrily.
Whereupon the lawyer inquired
quite unmoved.
“Have you any other business?”
If you like a really well-cooked meal
go to the Model restaurant.

Gov. Haskell Brings
Suit Against Hearst
Chicago, Oct. 22.—Governor Haskell has brought suit against
William R. Hearst for six hundred thousand dollars for libel.
This suit is the outcome of charges made by Hearst that Haskell,
who was the Treasurer of the Democratic Campaign Committee,

Makes Change
in Management
Yesterday Herbert Spencer retired from the management of
the Manley interests in this city, and was succeeded by A. V.
Thorns. Mr. Spencer was very well liked and respected by all
who had business dealings with him, and his retirement is a mat
ter of regret to many. He will remain in the employ of Mr. Man
ley until the first of November, after -which time he will enter
some business for himself. He thinks that for the present winter
he will remain in this district.
Mr. Thorns, the new manager, is a man who is very well
known and highly respected by the people of this district. For
the past several years he has had complete charge of all the Man
ley mines at Glen, which he has worked very successfully.
Mr. Thorns is accompanied by his wife, and they will make
their home in this city.
Federal Jail
Is Scorched
The jail in this city was nearly
burned down last Monday, and but for
!he prompt action of Deputy Marshal
Drake and J. Nellany, who first discov
ered the blaze, Hot Springs would now
be without a bastile.
These gentlemen secured buckets of
water, a half dozen of which sufficed to
control the flame. They were as
sisted by several neighbors, and the
the fire was soon out
The fire originated in a box of stove
wood which was near the stove in
which there was a hot fire. From this
box it ran up the wall to the ridge and
the corner of the building where the
stove is placed was badly charred.
Outside of the work necessary in clean
ing up the charred wood and the dam
age caused by water the loss amounts,
to little. _
Mail Should
Arrive Tonight
A five-dogteam in charge of Billy
Ford left here Wednesday morning for
Toiovana to bring down the Fairbanks
mail which was left at that point by
the last carrier from the upper river.
The mail started in a boat, but the ice
was running so thickly when it arrived
at Toiovana that further progress was
thought dangerous. The mail was left
there and the carrier walked to Hot
Springs. If Mr. Ford experiences no
trouble he should arrive here tonight.
Little Johnny, having in his posses
sion a couple of bantam hens, which
laid very small eggs, suddenly hit on a
plan. Going the next morning to the
fowl-run, Johnny’s father was surprised
to find an ostrich egg tied to one of the
beams, and above it a card with the
words: “Keep your eye on this and do
your best.”
Fresh pork, mutton and beef always j
on hand at the Model restaurant.
Repairs at the
Telegraph Office
The-telegraph office has pre
sented a dismantled appearance
all this week owing to the re
pairs that have'been made to the
interior of that building. The
walls are now tinted a nice light
green, which adds greatly to the
general appearance of the house.
All the windows have been reset,
new furniture and shelves made,
and a general overhauling given
the house.
When everything is again in
place the boys will have one of
the most pleasant homes in the
city.
