COMMISSIONER FRAWLEY
TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE
Commissioner Frawley will hold
open house in his court room at 11
o'clock tomorrow when John Kallos and
Alex. Kattlnkoff will take the bat and
explain why and what for they kicked
the door of Mrs. Sarah Olson's house
In. It does not seem the proper thing
to do according to Hoyle. The charge
sheet reads that they ''unlawfully and
wantonly did destroy certain property”
belonging to one Mrs Olson.
Both of these gentlemen have been
out on $200 bail so will surely be there
to hear what Judge Frawley thinks
about the matter.
When the Olsen ease Is disposed of
ten men arrested last night by the fed
eral authorities on a charge of gamb
ling will be arraigned.
The arrest v . made b> Deputies
Holland, Miller, Tyrol! and Head short
ly after 10 o'clock last night when

Gardnard, Alfred Pearon, X. B Nel
son, chas. Mason Frank Kolbetltz
John Novnsel. Ed Johnson and A. C.
Laird.
The commissioner set the bail for
ihe first fixe mentioned at $">0 and the
remainder at $200.
Attorney Grigsby will represent the
defendants in the gambling case.
WM. WALKER HAS
TRYING EXPERIE
William Walker, who has been en
gaged in drilling on Snake river some
seven or eight miles from Nome, was
brought into town about noon today
by William Webb after the former had
been shut up In a tent without fuel
for the past two or three days while
the big storm was on. Parties arriv
ing in town a couple of days ago re
ported that Mr. Walker was expected
to come into town before the storm
commenced and owing to his non-ap
pearance It was feared that he might
have started out and become lost In
the storm. Webb, accompanied by
George Watson, started out for the
lonely tent this morning but found,
the solitary occupant but slightly the
worse for his experience despite the
difficult time he had evidently had
Walker was slightly frost bitten but
expressed no concern over his condi
tion and as far as was ascertained was
not suffering In any great degree. Ac
cording to the story told his rescuers
he had barely a half sack of coal be
fore the commencement of the blow
and this was soon burned when the
gale arose. Walker then retired to his
robe and blankets which prevented
him from freezing until the arrival ofj
succor. Some time during the height
of tho storm, the door to the tent was j
blown open and the interior was filled
with snow. Walker managed to got
the door partly closed again but not
I
enough to prevent the place being
pretty well filled with snow. When
Webb and his companion arrived, Wal
ker was found engaged in shoveling
out tlie snow and was apparently but
little the worse for his trying exper
ience.
>-l>L1 i E PARKER
APPEARS IN THE MOVIES
kiddie Parker, who is known on the
Arctic slope as the Sand Hill Crane" |
received a wire from Harry Barnett,
nf the Whitard-Barnett Co., a few
lew days ago in which Harry, who is
seeing the sights around the St. Fran-;
els tells him that he had the pleasure j
of seeing both Parker and himself in j
“The Deathloek” moving picture which j
is being shown in San Francisco.j Last
winter the boys were outside with j
their dogs and were under contract
Blazon Film Company. The play was
supposedly of the Yukon and was stag
ed in Truckee, Cal,, where a big snow
carnival Is held every year. Mary
Pickford had several dog rides on the
Pnrker-P.arnett team at that time, and
— Just imagine—Eddie is still single.
