ICE PICKS
Harry Emsley says hard work is
one of the best antidotes for f
bad breakup.
Tom Smith took a lot more in
terest in the way the ice behavec
than he did in the dispostion ol
, the ice pool money. He was sc
sure there was going to be a flood
■ that he moved his bed to the root
of the Southern. But he did not
have to sleep there.
I -
Charley Bergman had a whole
bookful of bets and won every one
of them but one. And even at that
he lost money on the breakup.
l
Mayor Joe O’Connor went to the
trouble to frame up the lucky
“Roughneck” combination and then
did not tret jn on jt. But he was
in on another combination which
g was next in line for the money.
I When Gene Ellis heard the whistle
blow, he was sure he had the money.
He was within one of guessing the
right minute, but when he looked
t in the book he discovered that he
had missed the day by two.
The breakup caused guessers a
lot of excitement and it brought
* a whole barge load of trouble to
Wharfinger Jack Bellerby—two of
’ them, in fact.
, There were scores of people yes
- terday morning who claimed to be
; dangerously close to the winning
minute, but the official list shows
- there was no one very near the
, mark. The early morning seemed
s to be an off time for guessing.
If the ice had moved at 11:11
yesterday there would have been
^ a couple of dozen winning tickets,
with several of them cut several
. ways. But it wasn’t such an awful
poor hunch, after all.
' Judge McDonald says he is not
a betting man, but he admits that
breakups interest him greatly.
1 Sage Jim Russell says the de
s tention hospital lost a number of
- prospectives when the breakup oc
curred. The strain was alarmingly
near the breaking point.
, One of the conspicuous figures
, on the waterfront on Tuesday was
“Young Bill” Gagnon, with large
flowing nectie of $20 bills. It was
• a display of wealth for the benefit
of some of “Old Bill’s” victims.
The public, generally sp \ king,
is highly pleased over the ice pool
award. The money has been distri
buted among a number of good fel
lows and it will remain in the town
to help swell future pools.
Louis Anderson, just returned
from the Outside, brought in a new
line of sporting goods, fly hooks,
salmon eggs, King salmon nets,
greyling and whitefish nets. From
now on store will be open early in
i the morning and late in the evening.

' Advices received in this city from
Tanana state that there are about
;
180 cases of flu at the army town.
I Most of the sickness is confined to
j the barracks and Indian village and
i while a number are quite ill, it is
I not believed that any are in a criti
! cal condition. Tanana escaped the
I epidemic last year.
--
I Reports received from Chisna to
j day state that an ice jam in the
Tanana river below that point has
caused the water to back up to
a level sufficiently high to inundate
the larjrer part of the almost de
serted town. Several buildings, it
is feared, will be carried off when
the jam breaks.
The city council met in regular
session on Tuesday night and ap
pointed Frank Bishoprick territorial
! school tax collector for the local
' district. The N. C. Co. was given
the contract to supply the firchall
mess with provisions during the

grouse during the closed season.

BULGARIAN DELEGATION
FINDS REDS WRONG SORT
VARNA, Bulgaria, May 12—A
large deputation of Bulgarian Bol
shevik;, which has just visited Odessa
was received with anything but
brothel lv kindness by their Russian
brethren. The Red Guards who, in
groups, occupy ail the streets of the
city, deprived the majority of the
visiting Bulgarian- of their boots.
Soviet representatives it; Odessa
j ignored them and consequently they
! were unable to obtain food. So lit

Extraordinary Commission -hot down
!a deserter on the de-k of the ship
by which the Bulgarians had travel

! The Bulgarians have n >w returned

be expected from ; lie introduction
of Bolshevism into their own land.
JUDGE LINDSEY PAYS
DENVER, May 12—Judge Ben F.
Lindsey has paid his $500 fine and
costs of the action, thus ending
a legal battle which has been hang
ing fire for five years. The judge
says he used his own money to pay
the fine, although a number of
lawyers and newspaper associations
in various parts of the country had
offered to contribute the full sum.
