Shackleford
and the
Hoodlums
From the Fairbanks Citizen.
The News-Miner, organ of the Mor
ganheims, is intensely annoyed at the
ignominious defeat of Louis P. Shackle
ford, leader of the regular, or hidebound,
republicans. So greatly is that paper
incensed that the editor, in blind rage,
wires to other Morganheim organs in
Alaska that the debate was broken up
by hoodlums. That statement is false.
It is almost impossible for an audience
to remain dumb throughout a political
debate. It is impossible for a thousand
or more people to abstain from express
ing their approval or otherwise of the
various arguments adduced, and no de
bater would have it so. The applause
which greeted Mr. Shackleford when he
rose to speak for the first time must have
been sweet to his ears; the approbation
with which some of his remarks were
received must have tickled his vanity;
and the attention paid to other parts of
his speech must have convinced him
that he was making an impression upon
his audience. But—and here was the
cause of his undoing—Mr. Shackleford
allowed himself to be carried away by
the personal animosity he feels towards
the delegate. He grew' violent; he raved;
he clenched his teeth and shook his fists
Notice to Creditors.
The estate of Frank J. McGraw, deceased.
Notice is hereby given by the undersigned
A. G. Frenzel, administrator of the estate of
Frank J. McGraw, deceased, to the creditors
of und all persons having claims against the
said deceased, to exhibit them with the nec
essary vouchers, within six months after the
first publication of this notice, to the under
signed administrator in the town of Tanana,
Territory of Alaska, the same being the
place for the transaction of the business of
the said estate.

in the face of his advesary. Was that
gentlemanly behavior? Was that the
way a visitor should conduct himself in
the home town of his opponent? We
think not. Once Mr. Shackleford lost
his temper he lost his cause in the Tan
ana Valley. And he knew it. There
was no excuse for him. His training at
the bar should have taught him self
control.
But. even then the audience was not
demonstrative. It disapproved of his
statements, and when eight or nine hun
dred persons murmur there is bound to
be a little noise. But there was no
hoodlumism. When the News-Miner
says that the meeting was broken up by
hoodlums it is deliberately misleading
its readers. When the News-Miner sends
a message to the coast in a similar strain
it is doing worse; it is playing dirty
politics.
I Mr. Shackleford deliberately insulted
! the people who assembled to hear him.
He was their guest; and it is the worst
i of bad breeding to insult one’s host,
j When Mr. Shackleford intimated that if
' the people elected Wickers ham they
would elect Dr. Cook, he was hissed, and
: rightly so. It was then that Mr. Shack
: leford realized his mistake, and retired
from the debate.
The people of the Tanana are not
hoodlums and they did not break up
the debate. The noisiest interruption
j came from a supporter of Shackleford,
i Mr. Timmins.
Apart from this aspect of the question,
was it wise on the part of the News
Miner to brand as hoodlums all who did
not see eye to eye with Shackleford?
' The editor of the News-Miner should
! remember that he is daily rubbing
| shoulders and doing business with the
■ people whom he is insulting.

Personal and Political.
A report was printed in a Fairbanks
paper that William O’Connor, union
labor candidate for delegate from Alas
ka, has sold out to the Guggenheims.
The report is probably untrue. It is
true, however, that the Fairbanks
Miners’ Union Bulletin, which pro
fesses to support O’Connor as against Orr
and Wickersham, says little against
Orr, less for O’Connor, and devotes a
great deal of its space to denunciation
of Wickersham. The anti-Wickersham
matter is freely lifted from the Bulletin
to the News-Miner and the Times and
vice versa, the same articles often ap
pearing in all .three papers without
credit one to another. If the Bulletin
is not a Guggenheim rooster it is at
least hatched in a Guggenheim incu
bator and carries a heap o’ Guggenheim
feathers in its tail.
“It is a great pity that the attorney
general and the secretary of commerce
and labor Cannot visit interior Alaska,”
remarks the Fairbanks Citizen. It is
too durned bad, for a fact; but there
are so many lesser lights doing politics
in the interior now that these two cab
inet officers will not be so greatly
missed.
Delegate Wiekersliam and Ed. S. Orr
did not switch off to the Iditarod on
their down river trip, but kept straight
on to Nome. They arrived in that city
last Saturday night.
Secretary Wilson is paying a visit of
inspection to the government reserves

It is reported that Postmaster General
Hitchcock will soon resign from Presi
dent Taft’s cabinet and that he will be
succeeded by Secretary Norton.
Census Taker McKenzie, who had
charge of the census men of Alaska, has
handed in his first report. He gives
great praise to all who helped him in
his work in the face of difficulties.
RICH MINE FOUND
IN ATLIN DISTRICT
Atlin, B. C., July 28.—Captain Alex
ander has arrived here from the Engi
neer mine with the first gold brick
produced on the property.
The brick weighs 20 pounds 8 ounces.
It is the product of 800 pounds of rock,
and was secured in a four hours’ run of
a two stamp mill. This is considered the
record run of the world. It is estimated
that the brick represents ony |00 per
cent of the value of the rock.
The mine has been working since Jan
uary on about two hundred tons of rock
taken out which will average $150 per
ton; and three tons of selected rock
which will go six to ten thousand dollars
per ton.
After discovering the values on the
surface, leads were tapped by tunnels at
a depth of 450 feet, which demonstrates
the continuation of the values through
out the entire body and proves the mine
to be one of the richest of, if not the
richest in the world

Appeal in Case of
N. C. Co. ys. Heeter
Fairbanks, July 26.—(From the News
Miner.)—An appeal from the decision
of Commissioner J. II. Hudgin of Ram
part has been filed by the clerk of the
court by the plaintiff in the case of the
Northern Commercial Company vs. S. E.
Heeter.
This was tried June 27 before a jury
who decided that neither the defendant
nor plaintiff are indebted to each other,
and that the plaintiff pay the costs of
the action.
The action filed with the commissioner
April 7, 1910, was brought for the al
leged balance of $994.85 claimed to be
due on a running account for goods sold
by the plaintiff to the defendant. Ralf
Donaldson, as agent for the company,
swore to the complaint.
The defendant in his answer claimed
that he had an understanding that he
was to get a 25 percent, discount in con
sideration for trading with the plaintiff
company, and under this agreement his
discounts on goods purchased between
Jan. 4, 1904, and August, 1907, would
amount to $2,624. Thus he claimed the
company owed him the sum of $1,629.15
(?) but agreed to waive all sums in ex
cess of $999.99. The jury’s decision was
therefore in favor of the defendant.

Attorney Grigsby.
