A man known only as "Van” and
formerly employed as janitor of the
skating rink at Anchorage was hit on
the head last week with a skate held
in the hands of the manager. Van
had come into the rink shortly be
fore the close of the afternoon ses
sion to ask a donation for a fund be
ing raised to pay the fine of a man
in jail at Fairbanks. Sharp refused
saying that if his Fairbanks friends
i couldn’t raise the money the man
probably belonged there. Van became
allusive and challenged the manager
to put him out. In l*ie tight which en
sued Van was slightly battered.
i Iditarod experienced very strange
'weather in July, heavy rains and vary
ing frosts and great damage resulted.
:The boom of the power plant was in
great danger of going out. The hill
placers were the only things benelit
ted by the unpleasant condition, the
wettest since 1910.
Three white men and two Indians
recently reported having struck it
rich in the Hutshi Lake region and
left 'Whitehorse well provisioned to
stake their claims. After a long trip
they reached the place where the riv
erer bottom was apparently covered
with gleaming particles of gold. They
at once staked the claims and drove
a shaft being of the opinion that
where there was so much gold on the
surface there would be infallibly vast
quantities at bedrock which was
reached about twelve inches down.
Then they discovered that all that
glistens is not gold, for their precious
metal was nothing but mica. On their
return they found a party burning
the wind to get in on the new stam
pede and after considerable pursua
sion got them to return.
Gus M. Stepovich, a pioneer Alas
kan was a recent passenger to Cor
dova from Anchorage. He has been
interested in the Frisco Cafe and the
California pool hall and recently er
ected the Union Cigar Store. He came
directly to Alaska from Siberia in
1908.
It has been reported on good au
thority that Col. Sapp and two deck
hands have been lost on the Susitna
Plats or have been drowned. Col.
Sapp, purser on the Omineca, and
two hands left the boat on its last
trip up the river to go duck hunting
and took no provisions. The boat was
to pick them up farther up the river
at a certain time. There was no sign
of the men after a wait of ten hours
with frequent blasts of the whistle.
A small power boat bound for An
chorage found a dory moored to the
river bank at the point where the
boat was to pick up the men but
thought nothing out of the way. The
commission has dispatched the launch
Nugget to make a tboro search along
the river and flats. Later the men
were found ali.right, having been un
able to return on account of high wat
er.

PETROGRAD NOT MENACED
BY FALL OF RIGA
' ■ I ■ a • i |
LONDON Sept. 17.—Col. Shumsky,
military critic of the Petrograd
Bourse Gazette, who is on a visit to
England, writing concerning the
evacuation of Riga, says a German
offensive cannot seriously threaten
Petrograd.
An offensive movement of over 4 00
verts. Col. Shumsky says, would re
quire not less tlinn two months, and
in the next two or three weeks the
rainy season and had roads would
make impossible any movement on
Petrograd this year. The routes lead
ing to the capital are guarded, not
only by the line of tlie Dvina, but also
tiy strong positions formed by the lake
system in the Pskoff region, which
are well fortified.
Colonel Shumsky says there are
not sufficient German forces on the
Eastern front for a great expedition
of the kind required to reach Petro
grad, and he scorns the idea of the
Germans landing a big army for an
attack.
