DOGS KILLED
| BY STRYCHNIA
The work of tlie dog poisoner was
manifested last Sunday and dogs lime
sickened and died nearly every duv
since that time. A considerable per
centage of the animals affected recov
ered, or at least they did not die; it is
said no dog that lias been poisoned
ever fully recovers. Of the dogs
which died, one belonged to Knell and
McArdle; two to Dominick Soraci; one
was a mail dog at the Adams house;
one belonged to Grant Murdock, one to
Bob Graham, and one 'to Kd Fawcett.
The symptoms denoted strychnine.
There is much indignation felt over
the matter, and the setting out of the
poison is very generally spoken of as
an outrage. One hundred dollars has
been subscribed and placed in t lie
hinds of Deputy Marshal H. P. Shep
pard as a reward for the arrest and
conviction of the criminal.

The city council met lust Wednesday
night with all the active members
present except Ira Wood, who was down
river on his launch Nancy Beile.
The clerk reported that Banks <fc
Mikuta refused to sign the contract
they had agreed to May 15. They had
given no reason for the refusal.
Attorney Roden said the old contract
was dead and the new one was fully
effective as if it were duly signed. Mr.
Banks had accepted its terms in open
meeting, and that was all that is
necessary.
On the suggestion of Mr. Bradley
Mr. Banks was sent for. When he ar
rived he was asked why lie had refused
to sign the contract. He answered
that the contract was perfectly satis
factory, but he had failed in an attempt
to get wood, and therefore he did not
sign it.
Mayor Barnes asked if anybody had
any suggestions to make. Mr. Roden
said Banks had become, unnecessarily
alarmed. He does not need a great
deal of wood. The city’s credit is im
proving all the time. Banks came
forward and signed.
An ordinance was introduced pro
viding for the capture, sale and
destruction of dogs. It provides for
a poundmaster, whose duty it shall be
to capture and impound all dogs over
six weeks old caught running at large
without muzzles.
Mr. McDonell said it might be well
to let the dogs run loose at night. Mr.
Bradley thought the first thing to do
was to get a poundmaster. Mayor
Barnes said there was no use for a
poundmaster til! the ordinance was
passed. Mr. Auten said that dogs being
I beasts of burden and the poor man’s
friend, they should be turned loose
from 10 to 8. Mayor Barnes suggested
8 to 8. Mutcbler said people could
muzzle them and let them loose all
the time.
The ordinance is to be in force from
June 1 to October i. The pound
master is allowed 50 cents a day for
each dog’s keep. The ordinance was
read a second time and will come up
for passage at the next meeting, when
the poundmaster will also le chosen.
The New “Row"
Mr. Watson complained of the fact
that women had moved into the block
just east of the creek on Third street.
Mr. Saunders also said he would like to
see the matter attended to.
Councilman Bradley declared nobody
was kicking about the women mov
ing into that part of the street ex
cept Saunders and Watson.. He
further said that Watson was mad be
cause he failed to get the girls as
boarders. The councilman claimed
that in encouraging women to occupy
the new block he had kept them from
moving in behind Miller's [presumably
on Caribou street]; lie does cot have
a good opinion of men who go around
such places and then tell what they see.
Mr. Saunders had said his residence is
so situated that his family or visitors!
cannot look out of either window with
out seeing what is taking place along
the row of houses in question. The
old quarters were not in such plain
view. Bradley said Saunders is lucky
to have a window to look out of; that
if lie should cea>e to be a pensioner of
tlie N. C. Co. he would not remain so
well fixed long. By the women occu
pying the new quarters, Bradley de
clared, he was enabled to dispose of his

property to advantage; there is no
good reason why he should be prevented
from doing so, and be intended to stick
to the proposition to the hitler end.
Amen, McDonell and Wood were ap
pointed a committee to mike inquiry
and report to next mei ting.
J. R. McGovern’s resignation as
municipal magistrate and (ire chief was
read and accepted. It takes effect June
1. A suggestion was made that his
bondsmen be released; but Attorney
Roden said such action was unneces
sary, because the bondsmen could not
be relieved of responsibility for any
thing that may have occurred before
the resignation, and they could not be
held for anything that happens after it.
Eddie Miller made application for
city dockman. He wants some authority
to regulate the placing of freight.
Referred to street committee.
James Wilson asked permission to
put in a “deadmua” near the water
front at the foot of Otter street. Street

elected polltax collector. He will get

A. E. MALTBY MANAGER
FOR WILLIAM A. GILMORE
Iditarod, April 13.—(From the Nome
Nugget).— A. E. Maltby, formerly
United States commissioner for the
Iditarod, and at one time a Fairbanks
at torney, has announced lie is now the
campaign manager for the Republican
nominee, W. A Gilmore, of Nome, in
the Iunoko valley.
The Re publicans are now organizing
and the Wickersham men having been
convinced Gilmore accepted the nomi
nation upon the strength of a letter
written by the delegate, they are
falling into line and it looks as if the
solid Republican vote with Maltby as
campaign manager will be polled for
the Nome man.
Fresh eastern oysters $1.00 per can.
Iditarod Meat Co.
The wagon road between Iditarod and
Hat City is at last worthy of being
called a very good highway. The road
is firm abd smooth llie whole distance.
The greater part of the credit for this
great achievement is due to the team
sters themselves. It was the teamsters
who first adopted the course of the
road and brushed it out. Joe Moisant
was the original founder of the road,
and he contributed liberally to the late
j improvements. He and his partner.
Jack Cameron, had ten head of horses
at work for seven days. Hill Amalong
worked six head for seven davs.
Mutchler llros. have had a team work
ing for the past month. Joe Farris
1 and others have done censiderable
work.
The holes have been filled in and
numbers of the wotst places have been
graveled. It is not thought tl.e road
will be very difficult to keep ki good
repair hereafter.
