GOT A GOOD RUN
FOR HIS MONEY
When Knute Straiul, the man who
last week got crazy drunk, knocked
down a woman, assaulted a dog with an
ax, kicked in a few doors and was fined
$150 and costs for assault and batt ry—
when Knute came out of the trance that
followed his exploits he missed a purse
containing a $20 goldpiece and concluded
he had been “touched.” His coat was
also missing and he was anxious to find
out where it was at. Special Deputy
# Tom Howell instituted a search along
the track of Knute’s late cyclone and
found the coat in a plowed lot back of
Second street. The garment had been
chewed into an unserviceable condition
by a bunch of pups that Knute had
overlooked in his excitement, but the
purse and the double eagle were safe in
one of the pockets. With this money
accounted for, Knute computed the total
cash expenditure involved in the jam
boree at between four and five dollars.
So,.as a matter of fact, he cannot com
plain of not getting a pretty good run
for his money.

The interstate commerce commission has
rendered a decision that it has no authority
over the railroads of Alaska, as Alaska is
not a territory in the sense meant in the
provisions of inter-state commerce acts. The
decision relieves all railroad and steamship
companies doing business in Alaska from
any supervision of rates by the government.
Cne of the especial things that Delegate
Wickersham's enemies have condemned him
for is his effort to have the inter-state com
merce laws made applicable to Alaska.
President Taft has written a letter to Gov
ernor Clark declaring his intention to stand
by his appointment of Faulkner to be United
Stutes marshal at Juneau in place of Dan
Sutherland, removed. As Faulkner’s con
firmation is likely to fail in the senate this
session because of the opposition of the
Wickersham-Sutherland forces, President
Taft sent the letter as an evidence of the
administration’s faith with the governor.
President Taft says that should Faulkner
fail of confirmation this session the United
States federal judge of the First Alaska di
vision will appoint him; when congress
meets again in December the president will
again send his name to the senate for con
firmation, and that Faulkner will hold the
office until his confirmation is secured.
At Portland, Ore., June 22, the body of
William Johnson, a rancher who formerly
lived near Renton, Wash., was found in the
trunk of James Webb, a printer who went
out from Nome last year. Webb confessed
that he had killed Johnson with a blackjack
in a quarrel over Mrs. Johnson, claiming
self defense. Doctors testified later that the
blows administered to Johnson did not pro

New Pay on Sullivan
Lynn Smith, who was visiting Tanana
from Hot Springs the first of the week,
said that pay has been found low down
on the Sullivan Hats, thus guaranteeing
a long, extension of pav; He said the
new pay is the best yet found in the
Sullivan district.
There is a shortage of water in the
district just now’, and it is said some of
the w’orks are shutting down on that
account.
NATIVES FOUND GUILTY
Johnny Koyukuk and Old Charley,
natives, were each fined $25 and costs
in the local court last Friday, for theft.
They were loitering in the store of the
Rodman Alaska Trading Company the
day before. Clerk Theodore Pieterick
had occasion to go into the warehouse
at the rear of filestore for a moment.
On his return one of the natives was
gone and the other was holding his arm
to his left side in a suspicious manner.
On being searched a pint bottle of whis
ky was found concealed beneath his
coat. He was told to go and bring the
other native hack, but obeyed only so
far as to fetch a bottle that had bee it
carried off by his thirsty accomplice.
Their arrest followed.
The two had each left a dollar on the
shelf in payment for the goods. This
was the fourth time lately that money
had been found on the shelf behind tin*
counter, and Mr. Pieterick was keeping
a watehout for the persons leaving it.
On being tpiestioned in court the na
tives said a white man had told them
how to work the scheme to get liquor,
but steadfastly refused to divulge his
name.
WAS LUCKY GRUBSTAKE
II. Hickey was an arrival on the
Schwatka from the Iditarod last night.
Seven outcnming Iditarod passengers
were ' brought altogether. Very , few
people are con.ing out of the district.
Mr. Hie key went into the new dis
trict last February. He is one of the dis
coverers of Dead wood creek, a tributary
of the Ditna that heads up near the
Iditarod. Sis men are now shoveling
in on that creek, and the pay is reported
to be very good indeed. He secured
considerable ground there and came out
this spring by way of ()phir to record
the claims, Deadwood being in the
Innoko recording district, notwithstand
ing it is much nearer the Iditarod, He
also secured good ground on several
creeks in the Iditarod. Mr. Hickey said
the Innoko district is looking well, and
people there seem to be better satisfied
than in any previous year. He could
give no estimate of the season’s cleanup
in that district.
Mr. Hickey was grubstaked by Charles
E. Wing, of the Tanana Restaurant. If
the ground he secured turns out any
where near as well as he expects they
will each realize a very handsome sum
from it.
