MOOSE PLAN MASQUE
FOR FIRST OF YEAR
The advent of the new year will
be celebrated in Xenana with a big
masquerade hail, to be given at Union
hall on New Year's eve, under the
auspices of Nenana lodge, No. 1392,
Loyal Order of Moose. The affair
was decided on at the last regular
meeting of the local herd and a
special dance committee was ap
pointed at that time to make the
necessary arrangements.
:
The Moose are well known in N'e
nana as entertainers. They do not
.assume the role often, but when
i they do, they make their prepara
tions on a very elaborate scale, and
the coming mask ball will be no ex
jeeption to the rule. It will be the
: big social event of the winter.

TRAVELLER HELD
FOR GRAND JURY;
ROBBERY CHARGE
j Eugene Traveller, who was placed
■under arrest early this week on the
charge of robbing Anton Jelich,
was bound over to the grand jary
last night by United States Com
missicner R. S. McPcnald, at the
conclusion of a hearing which be
gan at four o’clock yesterday aft
ernoon. Bail bond was fixed in the
sum of $2,000, which the defendant
thus far has been unable to furnish.
A number of witnesses were ex
amined by the commissioner, the
list including the complaining wit
ness, Anton Jelich, Sam Geroff. Alex
Kalisoff, and George Jakoff. who
were occupnats of rooms in the
Arctic block at the time of the al
^ leged robbery; Mrs. O’Leary, an
; employe of the place, and A. W.
I Heimberger, proprietor.
It was brought out at the hearing
that Jelich had been drinking and
had a roll of bills on his person
prior to the alleged robbery. Trav
eller saw the money when Jelich
was in the house about six o’clock
last Saturday evening. And Heim
berger testified that he had seen
J elich with a roll as late as 11
o’clock that night.
About midnight, Jelich returned
‘ to the house and made considerable
t noise trying to get into his room. ;
. The defendant testified that he was j
, in bed at the time and was request- \
ed by his employer to go upstairs:
and ascertain the cause of the dis- j
turbance. He donned his dressing!
L gown and ascended to the second
i floor, where he found Jelich on his!
■ knees before the door of his room, i
i trying to find the keyhole. Trav- ,
- eller opened the door for the room
! er and shoved him inside, and he!
admits that he “heeled” Jelich in I
the fa ? with his hand, to quiet I
him and hasten his retirement to
bed. Jelich had three bottles of j
whisky, which Traveler gathered up!
in his dressing gown and carried :
downstairs, leaving Jelich on the
bed.
Much of what transpired at the j
door of the room was witnessed by
several of the other roomers, and
they could hear the noise inside!
the room, while Traveller was there.
They also saw Traveller leave the
room, with the whisky, and saw
Jelich come out later, with blood
on his face and hands.
Traveller said he heard Jelich
come downstairs and that he then
had no appearance of being intox
icated. Jelich left the house and
made for the federal jail, where he
forced an entrance, and where he
was later taken into custody by'
Deputy Marshal James Hagan. When
searched at the jail, the roll of
bills seen earlier in the evening
could not be found on Jelich. He
claims the money was taken from
him by Traveller while the two were
alone in his (Jelich’s) room.
i
Jelich was taken to the hospital
from the jail, and it was there that
he told his story to the authorities,1
after he had recovered. Traveller
was placed under arrest, upon the
complaint of Jelich, on Tuesday.
At the time of the alleged rob
bery. and for some time previous,
Traveller was employed at the Arc
tic bathhouse as a rubber. He is
well known in Interior Alaska,
where he has lived for a number
| of years, claiming his residence as
Fairbanks. He is 35 years of age
iand was born in Germany,
i The case will be aired before the
jgrand jury probably in January.

FAIRBANKS MUSI
! USE TONNAGE TO
GET THRU HAUL
___
i The people of the Fairbanks dis
trict must show the Alaskan En
gineering commission that they want
jeoal there and will use a consider
jable amount of it before the Com
! mission will go to the expense of
jlaying rails across the Xenana river.
I according to a statement made to
:the business men of the upper town
| by Engineer in Charge Fred'k D.
! Browne, during his visit in Fair
banks this week. The cost of lay
iing tracks across the river, Mr.
Browne pointed out, would be con
's'derable. especially in view of the
fact that there is no steel available
at Xenana or North Xenana, and
the Commission will requ;rc some
assurance that there will be suffi
cient tonnage during ihe winter to
•warrant the outlay. If laid, the
j track could not be used much over
;four months, for it would be neees
Isary to take up the rails during the
early spring.
The Fairoanks Citizen takes ex
ception to the attitude rf the Com
mission and insists that the exten
sion be undertaken regardless of
icost and ultimate recovery in ton
inage. It is suggested by the Fair
banks paper that passenger fares
and freight charges between the
two towns be increased as a means
of partially compensating for the
cost of bridging the river with rails.
The Fairbanks editor does not at
tempt to show how much coal would
be used in the uppgr town during
the winter, however, and in his
opinion, that is of secondary con
sideration. The railroad, he con
tends, is being constructed for the
development of the Interior coun
try. and -the possibilities of immedi
ate return in tonnage should not be
permitted to hold the work back.
