A pood story is told on Frank
Wiseman, former chief of police at
Fairbanks, who is now in the Iditar
od district. Frank is a good Republi
can and was keen for a bet on the
late election. He was finally ap
proached by a friend who offered to
bet that Grigsby would 'arry ,c-ita
rod. Frank was sure that Sutherland
would win in a walk in that, as well
as other sections of Alaska, and he
grasped the opportunity to wager
$600 on the result of the election, ;1
There were only about 25 votes '
altogether and the man who put up
the money of Grigsby made a per-1
sonal canvass among his Republican !
friends, explaining that it would only j
take a few votes to win Wiseman’s
$600, and suggested that each take !
part of the wager and cast their
votes for the Democratic candidate
for delegate. The scheme is said to
have worked like a charm. At any
rate, Grigsby carried Iditarod and
the reports state that Wiseman is!
out $600.
