SATURDAY, JUNE II, I904
The Seattle P.-I. prints an article
from its Washington correspondent,
recently, in which it is stated that
charges have been filed against
every j udge in Alaska The charges
filed against Judge Wickersham,
the article goes on, have on inves
tigation proved utter falsehoods;
so have the charges filed against
Judge Moore, of Nome. The at
torney general has recommended
the reappointment of both these
gentlemen. The charges against
Judge Wickersham and Judge
Moore are the last despairing kick
of the “Nome ring,” which ring
Judge Wickersham broke in many
places. The reported removal of
District Attorney Grigsby and the
rigid investigation of Marshal Rich
ards is causing these gentlemen
many sleepless nights, and the
Nemesis of their dreams is Judge
Wickersham.
The rivalry between Fairbanks
arid Chenoa is amusing to witness.
From all accounts there is only one
city in the new district, and it is
not Chenoa. The reported ieten
tion of the Tanana Chief at Chenoa
to prevent her carrying freight to
Fairbanks is a new method to in
vite population. We would sug
gest that the energetic Chenoaite
go into the kidnapping business,
and thus secure by force what he
cannot on merit.
P. Kaffenburgh left for Fairbanks
this week to attend court.
