the first of the week to a charge
of rape, on an indictment return
ed by the Grand Jury, w'as sen
tenced this moring to 10 years in
the federal penitentiary, by his
honor, Judge J.H.S. Morison of
the U. S. District Court.
Word was telephoned to Nome
from Anvil creek yesterday morn
mg that Frank Rahn, veteran
prospector and miner, had been
killed. No details were avail
able. The information w-as re
layed to the U. S. Marshal’s of
fice and a deputy proceeded to
the spot to investigate.
ft wras discovered that Mr.Rahn
had been caught by an earth
slide while walking thru a cut
in the hydraulic pit where he
and his partner Peter Sather
were working.
The accident occurred about
nine o’clock in the morning. The
men were working a lease on the
ground of the U.S.S.Refining and
Mining Co. A. M. Hartford, Leo
nard Smith and Andrew Sather
also w’ent immediately to the
scene of the accident.
A company car was called to
t ke the body to Nome. From
t l appearances Mr. Rahn was
killed instantly when tihe slide
hit him. Arrangements for the
funeral have not yet been made.
Mr. Rahn was a very reticent
sort of man, and little is known
of his relatives nor where he
originally hailed from.
At one time he was worth con
siderable money, but unfortun
ately several years ago, was
"bunkoed” out of $11,000 in Ta
coma, Wn„ in connection with
the purchase of a race horse.
The “bunko" artists were lat
er apprehended but little of the
money remained.
For some years past now, Mr.
Rahn and Mr. Sallier nave been
partners in mining, and it is ex
prctcd Mr. Sather will represent
’he int rests of the dead man,
until an estate has been created.

The Federated Church is now
in the midst of its annual cam
paign for funds. As previously
announced, the amount needed
by the church for the coming
year in pledges or cash donations
is $2150. Representatives of the
church during this week and
next will endeavor to make per
sonal contacts with donors.
In a town like Nome a perfect
list of those who should b? inter
ested in the church, is well nigh
impossible. In spite of the great
est care, some names will be ov
erlooked (and perhaps some
names included of those not in
terested). The committee hopes
that where such omissions or
mistakes have been made they
will be pardoned. If the canvass
ers do not reach you, see Mr.
Widney, or in case of cash dona
tions, pay the treasurer, Mr. C.
W. Thornton.
The cooperation of all is very
much needed and will be greatly
appreciated.

Proclamation Issued Re
cently in Juneau
For the first time in its history,
Alaska will have a holiday on
September 17. officially designat
ed as Constitution Day. which is
now being observed almost uni
versally in the States. Setting
aside the date, Gov. John W. j
Troy at Juneau issued the follow
ing proclamation:
A Proclamation
The Seventeenth of September,
the anniversary of the signing of
the Constitution, has been gener-1
aJily recognized throughout the
United States as Constitution
Day. September 17th, 1938 will
be the 151st anniversary of the
signing of the Constitution.
I hereby designate September
17th, 1938 as a holiday, to be ob
served thruout Alaska as the one
hundred fifty-first anniversary of
the signing of the Constitution. I
suggest that that day be commem
orated by patriotic services by
the schools and comimunities, whi
ch should include public reading
of the Constitution. I urge that
a flag of the United States should
be flown on all public buildings
and on school buildings where
practicable.
By observing Constitution Day
as a holiday, we shall recognize
that the Constitution is an endiur
ing instrument fit for the govern
ing of a far-flung population of
more than one hundred and thir
ty million engaged in diverse and
varied pursuits.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I
have hereunto sot my hand and
caused the seal of the Territory
of Alaska to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Juneau
this tenth day of August, in the
year of our Lord 1938, and of the
Independence of the United Sta
tes of America, the 163rd year.
JOHN W. TROY,
Governor of Alaska
E. W. GRIFFIN,
