TWIN MISFORTUNES
BEFALL NOME FAMILY
This noon about 12:45, while
playing in the cache at Archie
Wheeler’s home in the west end
of town, Issac (Sonny) Wheeler
ag d three years was shot and
seriously wounded by Stanley
Clyde, aged 9 years.
Stanley picked up the gun
which was standing in the cor
ner, not knowing it was loaded,
and playfully pointed it at Son
ny. The rifle which was of the
250-30 0 type contained four
sh 11s. The bullet entered Son
ny’s neck and be was rushed to
the hospital by neighbors where
he died shortly after admittance.
Yesterday afternoon an older
brother, Myron, aged 5, was se
v.rely bitten by a dog and is
now confined to the hospital in a
serious condition.
The dog, which it is understood
belonged to John Norbert, was
tied at the time, and has since
been shot to death.
NOME BUSINESSMAN
BACK FROM STATES
Our fellow townsman Sam Tag
gart returned to Nome last even
ing via PAA Electra from Fair
banks, having flown to that city
from Anchorage with the Lavery
Airways.
On the way north Sam stopped
off for several days in Ketchikan,
Juneau, Sitka, Seward and Cor
dova, besides Anchorage and
Fairbanks. He said “It is indeed
pleasant to me t so many of our
old Nome friends while traveling
and it seems there are a few in
every town we visit and this in
cludes the cities in the Stat s.”
“The greatest impression of in
terest I experienced,” said Sam,
“is the desire of everyone to
either visit Alaska or to make it
their home. As a result of a news
paper interview published in the
Los Angeles Expr ss I received
over a. hundred telephone calls
from people desiring informa
tion about our country, and many
letters from as far away as Iowa
and New York.” He said he tried
to give them all the right an
, sw:r.
I “The war hysteria was tense
| when I arrived last December
and grew stronger each week
I with the continued successes of
the Axis pcw:r machine,” and j
Sam thinks many people in the
States seem to think they will be
j out of dangers of war in the terri
! tory.
Mr. Taggart visited San Fran-'
cisco, Los Angeles, Spokane, and
; went into eastern Montana to ,
1 visit his son Goorge and family.!

Successful Play by Drama Club
—
Many congratulations were be'
stowed upon the Federated
Drama Club for the exceptionally
fine performance given last night
when they present “The Time of
His Life” by C. Leona Dalrymple
in the High School Auditorium.
The cast did an excellent piece
of work and much of the credit
for the fine play is due to the
director, Mrs. Wm. M. Cameron.
An entertaining comedy sketch
was given between acts by the
Nome High School Band with
Gloria McKenzie as the reader
and Bernie Knudson, director.
The clubs wants to thank Mr.
Knudson and his band for their
splendid playing between acts
and preceeding the play. A sim
ilar expression of gratitude is ex
pressed to all who helped in the
promotion of the play, and to the
public for their support. This is
the first occasion on which the
Drama Club has branched out
and given a play outside of the
church, and the members feel
that the attempt was highly suc
cessful.
