W riter Is In Jail
Frank Sessions, a recent arriv
al from the Kougarok section,
was arrested yesterday by the
federal authorities on a charge
of larceny: passing worthies^
checks. Complainant was Mayor
Alvin Polet who cashed a $10
check written by Sessions, some
time ago.
Sessions pleaded not guilty yes j
lerday and time for hearing was
set for 2 p.m. today, before U.
S. Commissioner C. C. Tanner.
This is not the first time Ses
sion ha sbeen involved in the
passing of worthless checks, it
was discovered upon investiga
tion. He also served three mon
ths in the federal jail here this
spring on a like charge, at that
time having passed such pieces
of “rubber” at Cavey’s Liquor
store, The Nevada, and the Board
of Trade.
The hearing was postponed to
day, due to the fact that the de
fense did not have sufficient time
in which ,to prepare a case.
SCOUNDREL—A MYSTERY
If you wonder about “Scound
rel”—so do we! He was a dream
er, an idealist, who made his
dreams come true. But some peo
ple misunderstood him and, some
envied him. Together they made
life miserable for him. Of course
there was one who understood
but she w'as almost snatched
from his arms by Bob Scott and
Everett Fish; then along came
Gertrude Arnold and Edith Hoop
and snatched the villains, so that
after all, Dan Jones, the so-call
ed Scoundrel, was free to woo
the lovely Arian (sometimes call
ed Marget Ergang.)
New talent and a new kind of
play promise an interesting ev
ening on Thursday, the 13th, at
eight o’clock, in the rocky glen
which has magically appeared on
the Federated Church stage.
In addition to the play there
will be several other numbers
on the program. Mrs. Stanley Mar
tin will play the accordian. Mrs.
Clara Johnson will give a group
of humorous readings. Lloyd
Smith will play some violin solos.
Taking all in all, Thursday the
13th should prove a lucky even
ing for all Nomeites who love
high class entertainment.

Extra Dry creek, has closed
down his camp for the season,
and reports that he will shortly
have his well known roadhouse

mile drive, these balmy autumn
days to Host Seidel’s tavern.

1900. but of late years a resident

Our progressive tonsorial artist i

brought his building and shop a
trifle more up-to-date with the

blocks in both directions.

love, flying, is still a factor in
his working life, as evidenced by 1
his departure yesterday to un-1
dergo a routine physical eamina

Wien Airlines Co. in their fall
flying.
Pilot Sig Wien returned yes
terday with the firms new Ses

years was brought into town a
few days ago, with his right arm
broken in three places. After
receiving medical care Diok de
parted for his Northern home, to
spend one more winter on the
rim of the Arctic Circle.
Thoughts while strolling aro

darkness heralding the approach
