* NEWS FROM NOME
(Nome Nugget, Dec. 25, 1915)
The work of killing off the rein
deer herd quartered cn Anvil creek
commenced, the deer using driven
into the old slaughter house on Dry
creek. Owing to the animals being
in a very wild state it is difficult
to segregate individual animals and
the killing is done by shooting
down the animals while feeding.
They do not seem to hav; the least
fear of a gunshot and scarcely give
a glance in the direction of a re
port from a rifle.
Mother Tiffany says that she has
personal knowledge of several fami
lies now living in Nome that are in
destitute circumstances and badly
in need of help in the way of food
and clothing. Any charitably in
clined persons wishing to aid these
unfortunates ones, may leave such
donations as they wish at the office
of the city clerk or may phone to
Mother Tiffany at the city hall and
shhe will gladly call for danations
There are several children in the
families and one of the mothers is
in a delicate condition. The cases
are pronounced worthy in every
way as all in whom the spirit of
kindness is strong are requested to
lend their aid in making the lot of
these unfortunates a trifle brighter.
Miss Marshalle Bates Jones, dau
ghter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Jones,
was quietly married to Dr. Herbert
F. Sharpe of Fort Davis. The
nuptials took place at .the home of
the bride and the ceremony was
performed by Judge Tucker of the
district court. Only the immediate
members of the family were pre
sent. The young happy couple left
for their home at Fort Davis later
in the evening. Both bride and
groom have long been favorites in
Nome social circles and have won a
host of friends who will rejoice to
hear of their marriage.
A present of a rather unusual
nature was made by Mr. Nate
Coombs of Council to Joe Sheldon
of the Alaska Bank on the occasion
of the former’svisit to the city some
days ago. It is stated that the pre
sent was nothing less than a live
badger which was caught over in
Council recently after the beast had
diplayed some of its traditional fe
rocity by killing a couple of dogs
belonging to an Eskimo. The an
imal was finally rounded up and
captured and was secured by
Coombs. As is doubtless well
known the badger is somewhat rare
in this section and aside from one
or two isolated instances have never
been seen in this part of Seward
peninsula.
