Dickson Burned In
Fire At Fort Davis
A fire about 9:30 last evening
at Fort Davis destroyed the home
of Eli Dickson. The fire was re
ported by Carl Glavinovich, who
could see the glow from the
mining company office and city
patrolmen Bill Shepperd and
Harry Johnson drove down to in
vestigate. They found the house
burning fiercely.
It has been determined that
the father of Eli, Old Man Dick
son, was the only one at home
at the time, but the fire was
too hot to permit probing for the
body. The Nome fire department
were to search this afternoon.
Several dogs, tied close to the
house, and badly scorched, were
cut loose.

Second Game Of Pioneer
Card Series Saturday P.M.
It’s the second game of the Pio
neer Card Series, at 8:00 o’clock,
Pioneer Hall.
President Dan Jones, methodi
cal and precise as usual, tells us
that his committee has everything
in readiness — prizes, entertain
ment, refreshments, etc.
Since getting an insight into the
unique design and intrinsic value
of the prizes now being made up
for the grand trophies to' be
awarded at the end of the series,
it is evident that many whist com
petitors are showing a keen in
terest in these gaihes.
These prizes, in addition to their
value, carry with them memories
of Nome, its people, customs and
traditions. They are dearly cher
ished by those who are lucky to
win them.
The 1953 series, now well un
derway, promises to be no less
appreciated than those of former
years, as evidenced by the inter
est manifested thus far.
