The weather has apparently settler

Contractor W. J. Rowe, has the
streets in pretty fair shape again by
dint of much energy and the employ
ment of a large number of teams in
the work of removing the accumulated;
masses of snow. Front street Is now |
pratically cleared by hauling the drift,
down to the beach while the big grader I
has levelled the hills and hummocks

Freighting is reported to be taxing
the capacity of the freighters at pres

the creeks following the settling of the'
trails. Teams are reported hauling
heavy loads In all directions as nearly
everyone was more or less out of
sunplles. The trai's are not In as good
condition as would be desirable a\
present and hauling Is difficult. The

six bead of stock on hauls on which
two span are usually used, which may
be taken as an indication of the heav
iness of the trails.

DORA FIREMAN VICTIM j
OF SHOCKING ACCIDENT
1 A. P. A. Service.
SEWARD, Feb. 1.—Fred Johnson, n
I marine fireman, employed on the
steamer Dora was the victim of a
i shocking accident while the vessel was
in port and is now in the hospital
minus one leg and suffering severely
from shock.
The accident occurred while the ves
sel was tied up to the dock on the
last trip. Johnson was ordered to
give a hand with the line while mak
ing way for the Farragut to land. As
the lines were being moved, Johnson
in some manner stepped into the bight
of the heavy hawser which was slowly
tightening under the pull of the mov
ing vessel. Before Johnson could ex
tricate himself or those who witnessed
the accident give aid, the loop tight
ened about his limb, severing the foot
almost Instantly.
The Injured man was at once hur
ried to the hospital where the leg was
found to be badly broken and crushed
necessitating amputation near the
knee.
Hegin the New Year right by sub
scribing for the Nugget.
"'as of the most enjoyable character
and the closing strains of the orchestra
-jaine all too soon for the majority.
_
As the break in the cable continues
the present issue of the Nugget is
largely filled with the belated news
arriving last night. Messages are still
being routed over the naval wireless
which results tn a delay of many
hours before they arrive in Nome
When the cable will be In working or
der again is a matter for conjecture as
the local radio has heard nothing con
cerning the matter.
Pursuant to their plan of raising
neaven and earth in the effort to im
prove the mail service, the mail c mi
.iiittee of the Chamber of Commerce i
nave written to Frank G. Carpente,,
the noted writer and globe trotte:,
who visited Nome last summer, seek
.ng his aid. As Mr. Carpenter ex
pressed the liveliest interest In thL
section on the occasion of his visit
and also indicated In remarks to vari
ous people that he Intended to do all
le could to help the development of
this section as he could readily see
that the district was something like
an adopted child in that it was get
ting the smallest ‘‘helpin'," it is be
lieved that he will be a power for good.
If he becomes Interested, owing to his
wide acquaintance with those of great
influence.
The committee also dispatched the
following telegram to Maj. Richardson
last night for the purpose of securing
i he further attention of that gentle
man as long as he has shown an In
•bnat'on to do something in the mal
mat*vr:

NOME-SEWARD PENINSULA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The weekly meeting of the Nome
common council last night was dis
tinguished largely by the rapid fire
way In which the business of the meet
ing was disposed of and also for the
absence of all but routine business—
pi d very little of that. In fact the
cruncll was In session less than a
quarter of an hour. Councllmen Leh
tran and Blake were absent when the
mayor called the meeting to order
The minutes were read and duly ap
proved. The municipal Poo Bah
otherwise Clerk Grimm, assumed for
a few minutes one of his varied roles
that of clerk of the school board, and
lead In his best manner a communica
tion requesting that the council set
aside the sum of tw'o thousand dollars
for the uses and purposes of the
school board. The request was later
granted under the head of new busi
ness on motion of Councilman Lomen
The mayor called successively for the
reports of city officers, and standing
and special committees, but without
response. Professor Grimm, who had
by this time resumed his usual role o1
municipal clerk, then read a varied
assortment of claims and acoounti
against the city, some of which were
read for the first time while others
war* approved by the finance com
m it tee. The latter were ordered paid
and the balance referred to the guar
dian a of finance for their O. K.
Lomen then made his motion rela
tive to the school board funds ana
was followed by Councilman Ross who
thought the city should publish a not
ice asking citizens to turn in a report
when street lights were found to be
out of order. His remarks were mere
ly a suggestion, however, and did not
agree with the views of Councilman
Loman, w'ho said that the police should
look ufter such matters, and thought
that they would. As there was no
further business, the council then ad
journed on motion of Thompson.

SPAINISH WAR VETERAN
SUCCUMBS TO HEART FAILURE
A. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE, Jan. 31.—Wm. F. Thorpe,
a veteran of the Spanish American j
war was found dead In his room In |
the Waldorf Hotel this morning ofl
what was apparently an attack of'
heart failure, although the police as
sert that there are Indications that
the man died from the after effects of
some drug.
The coroner scouts the idea, how
ever. and insists that the man acme
to his death from natural causes.
Thorpe won considerable distinction j
in the struggle between Spain and the j,
United States in 1898 and participated J
in many of the big fights of the war
He was the hero of se/eral remarka
ble escapades, in one of which he was
the soel survivor of a party of ten |
who went Into the bush in search of
a hidden detachment of the enem;
and were caught In an ambuscade
which all but annihilated the little
party, Op two occasions he wa?j j
honorably mentioned In the reports of
his brigade commander. Thorpe was j
around the lobby of the hotel last
evening apparently In good health and
the news of his sudden taking off hat
been a sorrowful surprise to his many
friends in this city.
