CASE IS CONTINUED
TO NEXT WEDNESDAY
The case against Owen M Grant,
charged on the complaint of Corne
lins J. Sullivan with shooting game
out of season, which was set for
Wednesday morning last, has been
continued until Wednesday next,
May 14, upon the application of
C. E. Taylor, prosecuting attorney.
The continuation was asked tor
on account of the absence of Robert
Kemp, whom the government de
clare to be a material witness for
the prosecution. An affidavit was
read in which it was stated that
Kemp had been in Flat City as late
as the evening of May 5, but since
that time had not been seen in the
vicinity, and the deputy marshal
had been unable to seive the sub
poena.
Attorney E. M. Stanton, repre
senting the accused, resisted the
application for a continuance, argu
ing that Kemp had not been named
in the complaint as a witness. Even
of those who had been named, the
government his subpoenaed but
one, and the defense had been com
pelied to subpoena the govern
ment's own witnesses—two ladies,
who had had to walk into town
that day. Further, the attorney de
sired to know what it was Kemp
intended to testify to, saving that
the defense might be prepared to
accept it, without requiring his
presence.
Attorney Taylor refused to state
the nature of the evidence that
Kemp would testify to, saying the
affidavit was sufficient.
Deputy Marshal Sheppard said
he had been in communication with
Deputy Marshal Howell that morn
ing, when Howell said he had
learned that Kemp had gone tim
ber cruising on Bonanza.
The motion for a continuance
was granted, Attorney Stanton still
j protesting, and alleging that the
complaint laid was mere spite work.

BREAKUP WAS
NOT EXPECTED
The break up of the Iditarod oc
curred yesterday, May 9 The flag
which had been placed on the ice
at the foot of Willow moved past
a given mark at forty-one minutes
land forty five seconds past twelve,
I and Hurst Bios., who had charge
of dag. announce that as the official
time.
The break-up was not unattended
with loss, as several of the smaller
craft, such as the Mosquito and the
Gnat, were frozen to the bottom,
and the rush of water and ice de
troyed the deck-houses, although it
is hoped to save the hulls. A sim
ilar mishap befell Charley Miller’s
barge
The cold-storage barge was towed
to the left bank of the river by
steamer Teddy H., and is moored
below the bend, where it is out of
danger. _

TOWN IMPROVEMENT
COMMITTEE IS BOSY
The first taste of real spring ar
rived this week, and with it came
a general desire on the part of Idit
; arod citizens to improve the streets
land sidewalks of the town. In ad
dition to the big work undertaken
jin conjunction with the city coun
cil, there have been many instances
of private enterprise noticed.
The N. C Co. and Jack Baird
have conspired to improve beyond
recognitron the lower end ot Rich
mond street, adjoining the water
front. For this purpose each lias
subscribed $50, and as soon as the
cable is stretched across the river
| by Charles Marsh, gravel will be
j hauled in sufficient quantity to
cover the whole oi the street from
the water trout to First avenue
The spot is much frequented dur
1 iug the open season, as the N N.
j boats unload there, and it always
; has been a regular mudhole. The
improvement will be appreciated
greatly.
Thursday afternoon the old side
walk on the south side of Second
• avenue, between Willow and Rich
mond, was removed, and replaced
by a brand new walk, as good as
any in town. This was done at the
expense of the Iditarod Meat Com
pany and Joe II. Smith.
Other citizens—including Wm.
Ansley and Postmaster Thurston—
spent days ditching the street ad
joining their premises, and the town
generally presents a much smarter
appearance than it did a week ago.
BACK HOME IS THE
SUMMIT ROADHOUSE
This week the Summit roadhouse
moved back to its old location on the
summer trail, adjacent to the tram
way. Moving was completed Wednes
day, and the proprietors are open to
