COMPLETES GRADE
< _
The grading contract awarded to
Albert Lundborg early this season,
on the Nenana-Fairbanks line, cov
ering a distance of approximately
two miles, was completed at noon
yesterday and some of the men em
ployed in the work reached town I
last evening.
^ The contract was one of the big
ones of the branch line, requiring
the use of a considerable number of ;
men and horses. And, like most j
of the station work north of Ne
nana, the grading was greatly de
layed by wet weather. Nine horses
■were in use at the time the work
* was completed.
A number' of the stationmen on
the Nenana-Fairbanks line have coin
pleted their work within the past
ten days, and several more will be
in for settlement soon, some prob
ably before the end of the present
week.
INVENTOR EXHIBITS
IMPROVED MOVING
PICTURE MACHINE
LONDON. — A Mollock has at
tracted attention by exhibiting be
fore the Royal Society a new form
of cinematograph which, it is said,
will prove of distinct value.
At present pictures are often
shown at a rate considerably higher
than that at which the photographs
were taken, in order to avoid the
flickerings due to intermittent il
lumination. Mollock's model, it is
claimed, illuminates the screen con
tinuously, thus allowing the pictures
to be shown at any rate desired—
either slower or faster than the
speed at which the events occurred.

RED TAPE CAUSES
DELAY IN TRAIL
OF MEX. RAIDERS
JUAREZ, Mex.—It will be eight
months, approximately, before the
trial of the men captured when
Villa forces made an incursion into
this town, June 14 and 15, is com
pleted. This apparent delay is due
in part to the demoralized condi
tion of communication in Mexico,
Und in part to the tangle of formali
ty that must be unraveled before
all the facts the prisoners want to
get before the court can be pre
'sented.
There were 43 of these men cap
tured, but one was released soon
afterward, having shown to the sat
isfaction of the court that he was
not a participant in the fighting
here. The men all are charged with
banditry, and, according to Judge
Jesus M. Cuen, before w-hom they
are on trial, even if found guilty,
none will be executed. The law
does not provide for execution of
persons convicted of this offense,
the judge said, adding, however,
that all who were convicted would
be punished.
Every opportunity will be given
the accused men to establish their
various defenses, it was stated at
the federal court where they are
on trial. Many of them come from
distant states — Sonora, Co&huila,
Sinaloa, Zacatecas, and some from
this state, Chihuahua. Most of them
contend that they were impressed
into Villa’s following. Some of them
tell of threats made by Villa to
return and kill their wives and
children if they failed to join him,
while others, younger, said threats
were made against other members
of their families. Depositions in
support of their contentions are
being taken by court order in the
men’s home towns, and this is caus
ing much of the delay.
One man recounted the return of
a party of Villa men to a town
where one man refused to serve
under Villa’s standard. The wife
and two children of this man, the
prisoner declared, were deluged
with kerosene and a match applied
to them.
Some of the prisoners are hardly
more than boys. Most of them
present an appearance indicative of
hardship; their clothing is ragged
and worn and they are emaciated.
Officials at the court say the con
dition of the prisoners is much bet
ter than it was when they were ar
rested, as charitable persons in
Juarez have donated clothing to
them or funds wherewith to pur
chase it, while the government has
provided them with regular food
during their incarceration.
PILEDRIVER DAMAGED
ON FAIRBANKS GRADE
A piledriver belonging to the Al
askan Engineering commission, in
use near Mile 432, on the Nenana
Fairbanks line, was considerably
damaged by fire last night and the
work of driving piles in that neigh
borhood will be delayed several days
in consequence. The fire occurred
between midnight and morning ami
almost completely consumed the en
gine-house, letting the engine drop
into the creek.
There are only eleven more pile3
to be driven on the Fairbanks line. ;

Mrs. Grummell entered the taxi
dermist’s with a stuffed parrot in
aer hands.
“Do you remember the bird you
stuffed for me last autumn?” she
asked. “Well, the work was so
badly done that the feathers are
simply falling out.”
“Ah, madam,” said the man, “that
is a triumph of art. We stuff our
birds so well that they moult at the
proper season.”—Minneapolis Trib
