Deputy Marshal Hart Humber pulled
out for his Candle home this morning
after sevral weks visit In the city.
As the Solomon Derby was laid oul
over until next week, Frey Ayer took
a spin down to Safety with his team
of flyers today.
\V. J. Rowe sent out four team loads
of supplies of various sorts to the
Dexter Hill section today. It Is reported
that several new outfits are preparing
to sink in that locality which is now
the busiest In the Nome section.
A baby blizzard blew up for a short
time last night and gusty weather
was the rule throughout the night but
the yonngster was apparently t
small to kick up much of a fuss in the
weather line and subsided with day
light.
The committee In charge of the
forthcoming Moose race held anothei
meeting last night and made the final
arrangements for the big event which
Is looked forward to with much antic
ipation by both sexes. Final selection
was made of the prizes to be given and
they will later be displayed In a down
town shop window.
The Are department responded to a
still alarm about midnight last night
The alarm was caused by an Incipient
blaze on one of the cabins In the red
light district which was speedily ex
tlngulshed with the aid of the chemical
The fire was caused by an overheated
stove which Ignited the adjacent wall
paper. The damage was trifling
The Catholic Library Club weekly
card social was the attraction to whist
devotees last night and was greatl.'
■ .joyed by those attending. Mrs. WU
11am Stipek carried off the first honor.1
In the ladies class, Mrs. Dennis O'Brler
w ag second and Mrs. Anna Casey third
Joe Ernst was the winner among the
men, Martin Corliss, second and Joht
Sullivan third.
The big social event of the season
the Shrlners’ Ball, will take place lr
Eagle hall tonight and will provide the
dance lovers of Nome with the best
in torpslohorean delights. The music
has been carefully selected and the
committee promise that the Shrlners
caravan has unloaded all kinds of good
things Including some of the delecta
ble camels' milk and waters from the
famous Zem-Zem well, which is guar
anteed to quench the thirst of a politic
ian.
Miss Anpher and Miss Edna Com
eron pulled out for the reindeer fair
at Mary’s Igloo this morning and wlT
probably remain during the fair’s
continuance. From all accounts the
turnout of white folks at the Igloo
will be greater than last year as It Is
becoming understood that the affair
Is of the most Interesting character
and would probably depopulate Nome
for the time being If held within a
short distance of the city.
A capacity house greeted the fourth
game In the Board of Trade billiard
tournament last night and standing
room was at a premium during the
match between Klesele and Adams
The latter playing 400 to his opponent's
£55 won handily In 118 Innings, making
his total while Klesele was running up
a score of 241. Both played In excel
lent form and are well handicapped as
the closeness of the score Indicates
The winner averaged 3.39. A second
match In the B class was also attrac
tive to the fans. The contestants were
Moore 125 and Lewis 110. Lewis
proved the wlner by a score of 110 to
103 In 80 Innings
Rumors have reached town to the
effect that certain parties living In the
Bluff section made a serious attempt
at wholesale poisoning In that locality
last spring and come very near to
causing the death of at least one well
known party. According to the story
the would be poisoner distributed
nrsealo la liberal quantities in tfce
sugar and other food supplies of some
parties for whom a grudge was held
and that they escaped death was due
solely to the fact that they ate but
little of the doctored foodstuffs before
sudden sickness warned them that
something was wrong. It Is said that
Investigation led to the discovery of
the poison. Details of the affair are
hard to obtain but It Is rumored that
the case will be brought before the
next grand Jury.
Owing to the general cold weather
■vlth the additional prospetc of a bliz
zard blowing up, the Kennel Club de
| elded last night to postpone the Solo
nan derby until Monday morning In
the hope that conditions would be more
’avorable. The bitterly cold wind blow
ing outside of town today precludes fast
time and Is also a hardship on both
logs and drivers. Drawing for starting
positions held yesterday resulted In
Jeppala securing first poslton with
Vyer and Delezene second and third.
