LOCAL MASONS
NAME OFFICERS
FOR NEW YEAR
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected at a meeting of the Nenana
Masonic association, held last night
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. W.
Hill, where the members were
joined, after the business session,
by a number of ladies closely iden
tified with the fraternity, and a
most enjoyable evening followed.
The meeting was called to order
by Louis Anderson, retiring presi
dent, and the business of electing
officers taken up after the regular
routine had been disposed of. George
Markus was the unanimous choice
of those present for president, and
FTed'k D. Browne was elected vice
president, also unanimously. Peter
Grandison, secretary-treasurer of
the association during the past year,
was re-elected for another term.
A delightful luncheon, of which
turkey sandwiches formed- a part,
was served by the ladies after the
men had concluded their business,
and the remainder of the evening
partook of the nature of a social
evening. The ladies present were:
Mrs. L. W. Hill, Mrs. J. H. Scott,
Mrs. Herman Anderson, Mrs. Carl
Schmidt, and Miss Mildred Ander
son.
The next meeting of the associa-:
tion will be held about two months!
hence, but after that the meetings
will be held more frequently and. i
as was the case last winter, the
Masons probably will arrange more
of those delightful social functions;
to speed the dark months.
FREY POUND GUILTY;
TO SERVE 6 MONTHS
;
Frank Frey, a fisherman residing
in a tent a short distance below
Xenana, was found guilty last night
on the charge of stealing fish from
the fishwheel owned by C. H. Cal
houn, and sentenced to a term of
six months in jail. The case was
tried before United States Commis
sioner R. S. McDonald and a jury of
twelve, the verdict being reached by
the jury after about an hour's de
liberation.
The complaint was filed by Cal
houn, whose wheel is located on the
north bank of the Tanana river,
above Xenana, and he appeared as
one of the witnesses, the others
called by the prosecution being Dick
Hearr.e, Stephen Luke and Peter
Paul. Evidence was introduced to
the effect that the defendant had
been actually seen taking fish from
the wheel.
Frey was recently before the com
missioner on the charge of making
threats against the life of a neigh
bor, and he was also in trouble in
Fairbanks, where he resided before
coming to Xenana. These facts were
taken into account by the court in
pronouncing sentence.
The jury trying the case was
composed of: J. A Slippern, A. B.
Funk, S. E. Parks, John H. Scott.
John Bellerby. C. E. Bergman. Q.
F. Lehr, Sam Tansy, Robert Joseph
Diven. Tom Smith, F. H. Barnett,
and Joe Fischer.
The case was the first criminal
matter to come to trial in the local
court for several months.
The defendant was represented by
J. Hampton Miles.

Thirteen names were added to the
payrolls of the Alaskan Engineering
(commission in this division during
the week ended August 23, accord*
iing to the weekly force report. Most
of the additions were to forces en
gaged in work on the Xenana-Fair
|banks line, including the track gang
and graders on the Fairbanks end.
IThe total shown for the week is
642, as against 629 for the week
, previous.
The increase in payroll employes,
however, is more than offset by a
I decrease in the number of contrac
jtors and stationmen laborers, the
; report showing only 212 stationmen
I for the period, as against 241 for
the previous week, and 42 station
!men laborers, a decrease of two.
