WINDOW BREAKING
PROVES COSTLY
(From McCarthy News.)
Running amuk with an axe and
smashing windows and fuifi^ure
proved costly for Gladys Rogers this
week when Commisisoner Sundmacb-1
er imposed a fine of fifty dollars and
four months imprisonment—the sen
tence suspended on condition that
she leave town by first train. She
left!
The “Silver Dollar” and H. Mudge’s
house were the objects of her dep
redations and were thoroughly wreck
ed but this did not satisfy and she
proceeded to the Commissioner's of
fice with further evil intent but was
nabbed and put out of harm's way.
McCarthy dresses up
When one prominent business man
of the little town of McCarthy added
a coal of paint to his store he start
ed something, according to the Mc
Carthy News, for the whole town
seemed to get the “bug” and as a
result many buildings were made re
splendent with a brand new coat of
paint. Even the News boasts - a
new sign.
THE SEVEN HOLE COURSE
Sewardite in Anchorage: I think
the little seven hole course you have
is more difficult than the eighteen
hole course.
Anchorageite: Why do you think
so?
Sewardite: Well, where there are
eighteen holes it must be easier to
get the ball into one of them.
