I'red Ayer convoying Mesdames |
Coombs Downing, Cole and Kittleson |
left Council early this morning for
Nome. It was decided owing to the
fine weather to abandon the project

the sudden change of program.
Today is the last day to tile peti
tions for candidates to be placed on

in the field. That they have en
trenched and strongly fortified posi
tions. Further that a goodly sum of
money has been thrown In the com

him to hold it, for McGuire was al
ways in the running until close up
to the finish. McGuire was holding
his own up to 75 when Lewis stepped
out and gathered In two clusters that
put him within reach of the goat that
shortly afterward he went out with
the winning score of 120 In 69 to*
nlngs making an average of 174. Mc
Guire had 97 at the finish, average
, 1.41.

hard to win would be putting ^it
mildly, as he is of the opinion that he
can take the crown from Mish and
Cornell will do all he can to repeat
| the fine showing he made In his last
, appearance.

The death of William Larson, which
occurred at the Holy Cross hospital
last night at S o'clock is tragic fron^
the fact that he was a brother-in

again in the northlund It is pathetic
