The Fairbanks session of the dis
trict court, which was adjourned
last fall in order that Judge Bun
nell might go to the Third division
to relieve Judge Fred Brown, was
resumed in the upper town this
morning, with the petit jurors pres
ent to conclude the work of the
session. No announcement was
made by the judge relative to the
calling of rt grand jury, but it is
expected that a call will be issued
within the near future, as there are
a number of criminal cases awaiting
investigation.
It was expected that Judge Bun
nell would resentence Segura, Idita
rod Montenegrin, who was convicted
on the charge of killing George
Riley last year, and sentenced t >
hang. The case wits recently re
viewed by the supreme court and
the action of the district court up
held. necessitating, however, a re
sentencing of the condemned man.
The petit jurors who answered
to the roll call this morning were:
Dan Bandman, K. W. Blakely, K.
M. Bockfinger. W. 1*. Borden, M. R.
Boyd, Hiram Chadwick, F. Claus

The stroke first seized him about

He recovered sufficiently later, how
! ever, to walk to the I’inska store,
a few doors away, and there awaited
the arrival of Dr. .1. A. Sutherland,
losing consciousness before the doc

Demonstrating beyond all doubt
'that the Broad Pass route is the
shortest route to the eoast from
'interior Alaska points, Mike Cooney
arrived at the end of steel last night
just three days from Talkeetna.
And the trail is in such good con
dition that he was able to ride the
entire distance. Not a bit of diffi
culty was experienced anywhere,
and it is the opinion of oldtimers
that traveling will continue good
durtng the remainder of the season,
in view of the fact that it is well
broken now and will be kept well
beaten down by the travel that is
promised between now and spring.
Cooney made the trip out, with a
heavy load, in four days, and had
j considerable freight on the return
j trip.
D. E. Crowley, the Nome mer
i chant, who left the end of steel
for the coast Saturday afternoon,
was met at Moreno's, and he was
enthusiastic about the trail and the
!grandeur of the scenery in the can
■yon district. He declared that he
'would not have missed the Broad
i Pass trip for a great deal, and it is
Mr. Cooney’s opinion that he will
igive the trail much desirable adver
i tising along the const. *
Cooney will start on the return
; trip on Saturday, carrying pass
engers and freight, and guarantees
la fast, comfortable ride to the coast
end of steel, where connections are
made for Anchorage and Seward.
Of late, he says, trains have been
making daily runs to the end of
!steel from Anchorage, carrying sup
plies and material for the railroad
work which will be starting up soon,
jand he considers it likely that the
j extra service will continue for some
j time; perhaps not daily, but several
; trips a v-'-ek, at the least. The
j regular schedule is one train a week
between Anchorage and Talkeetna.

ROADHOUSES ARE
GOOD ON TRAIL
Exception is taken by Alex
Fowler, of the firm of Fowler &
Morris, to statements lately appear
ing in the press of Fairbanks re
garding roadhouse conditions on the
Broad Pass trail. Mr. Fowler spent
a week on the trail during the early
part of the month, stopped at a
number of the houses and talked
with men who had taken in all the
places between ends of steel. And
he is convinced that the Broad Pass
roadhouses will compare favorably
with those of any other section of
Alaska, notwithstanding the fact
that they have had comparatively
little travel thus far to support
them.
Mr. Fowler spent several days at
the Panorama roadhouse, owned by
J. X. Bain and located at one of the ;
most attractive points on the trail— j
a beautiful site itself and surround-!
ed by scenery that is unsurpassed.
The roadhouse is a large, roomy
affair, warm and comfortable, and
the meals are as good as any on
the trail. There is a large barn in
connections, and kennels for dogs, 1
the housing accommodations for ani
mals being equal to any emergency.
Mr. Fowler brought ' a map of
the district home with him—a large
affair, sketched on cloth by Bain,
describing in detail a large section
of the country adjacent to the
roadhouse. The map is on exhibi
tion at the Fowler & Morris store.
Travelers, Mr. Fowler says, need
have no hesitancy in stopping at
any of the places along the trail. ■
There is nothing fancy about them, :
but there is food and rest and a
hearty welcome in all of them for
the weary musher, and the accom
modations are being improved as
rapidly as travel will permit. They
average up well with Alaska road
houses, and some of them, he says,
arc most inviting.
