FAIRBANKSANS HEAR
OF HAGAN’S DEMISE
There was a persistent rumor in
circulation in Fairbanks Saturday
afternoon to the effect that Deputy
Marshal James Hagan had dropped
dead on the street, in Xenana. Like
the many rumors that originate in
Alaskan towns, this one spread
rapidly, accumulating details with
each telling, until Fairbanks knew’
all about the tragedy, even to the
color of the necktie worn by the
deputy at the time of his alleged
demise.
All that prevented a funeral was
a phone message to Xenana to as
certain the truth of the report.
Some doubter in the upper town
refused to accept the story’ as told
to him, and called up the local
marshal’s office for confirmation, and
;was informed by Deputy Marshal
Hagan that the report had been
greatly’ exaggerated.

US OF OLD
GAMBLING DAYS
GO UP IN SMOKE
LEADVILLE, Colo. — That the
gambling days of Leadville are a
thing of the past, at least in so far
as the legal phases of wooing the
goddess of chance are concerned,
was demonstrated here recently
when gaming paraphernalia consist
ing principally of roulette wheels
and valued conservatively at $7,000,
was carted to the city dumping
grounds by deputy sheriffs and there
burned. The destruction of the big
pile of gambling apparatus came
about as the result of a court order
issued following a spectacular raid.
One roulette wheel destroyed by
the officers was valued at about $2.
500. It was originally a single
table, but had been converted into
a double one. The numbers on the
original table were inlaid with
mother-of-pearl, ebony, ironwood,
mahogany, teakwood, and rosewood.
The wheel was made of mahogany
and ebony and all points and metal
parts of solid silver. The ball used
on this wheel was solid ivory. The
addition consisted of an ordinary,
cheaply-constructed table with the
numerals painted on heavy oilcloth.
An interesting feature in connec
tion with this particular layout was
that it could be controlled by the
house. The control was of the
double type; that is, it could be
manipulated either by the croupier
or operator or by someone located in
an adjacent room. Whether this
feature was ever used could not be
determined.
Other articles destroyed in the
fire included card tables* faro ta
bles, playing cards, poker chips, and
faro boxes.

ITALIANS SEND 10
RUSSIA FOR COAL
ROME.—The Italian government ,
jis trying to obtain coal from South
iern Russia so as to stave off the
menace of a winter without a source
of heat. Two commercial commis
sions have been sent to the vast
basin of the Donetz in Southern
Russia, where Italian experts esti
mate there are untouched coal lands
that will yield fifty-seven billion
tons. The experts also say there
are one hundred seventy-four billion
!tons of coal in Siberia or in parts
Jof European Russia outside of the
Donetz basin.
It is calculated that if the coal
supply of Southern Russia were
j properly exploited the territory
j would furnish all the coal necessary
jfor the Mediterranean countries.
Coal for Italy is now quoted at
| $5.50 at Norfolk, Va., but it costs
I $30 a ton to bring it to Genoa.
REVOLVER DISCHARGED;
BULLET ENTERS THIGH
_
Robert Blakely reached Fairbanks
late Saturday night from McCarthy,
having made the trip into town to
receive surgical aid for the removal
of a bullet which had found lodg
ement in his left thigh. The bullet
|was from a .22-caliber pistol which
Blakely had carried attached to a
belt, and which had been discharged
accidentally.
The injured man was taken tol
the hospital, where the bullet was
removed bv Dr. de la Vergne.
—
Two hundred and twenty-three
patients were treated at the An-1
J chorage hospital during the month
jof August, 1919. according to the
report of J. B. Beeson, chief sur- j
geon for the Alaskan Engineering j
commission. These patients spent
an aggregate of 341 hospital days
in the institution. Of the number
of cases treated, 63 were classed as
private cases. 23 as members of em- i
ployes’ families, and 106 as dis -
pensary cases. There were seven
examinations conducted by Dr. Bee
json during the month. No deaths
| occurred at the hospital during the
month reported.
