SAD MARITAL EXPERIENCE
OF FORMER IDITARODER
The following from the San Francisco
Bulletin of February 22 relative to the mar
ital troubles of “Bid" Wise, a former Irlit
arod resident, will be read with interest
here:
“Two months of married life was enough
for William M. Wise, former proprietor of
the Normandie hotel, and his pretty young
wife, Mrs. Etta Steinburg Churchill Wise,
whom he married December 5.
“Wise is living at the St. Francis hotel,
and his bride is residing with her father,
Sigmond Steinberg of the Greater City Lum
ber Company, at the Flotel Normandie,
; which Wise sold to his father-in-law shortly
after his marriage.
“Mrs. Wise refuses to discuss the matter,
j saying that the separation may be only
' temporary.
“Wise, however, says that there v.hi in
1 no reconciliation.
"As soon as I married Mrs. Churchill,
j paid Wise this morning, ‘her family began
making it uncomfortable for us. My wife
; sided in with her family, and her father got
me to sell out the hotel to him. Every
thing was amicably settled. Mrs. W ise and
I are still on speaking terms. I simply
j moved out. We’re just mismated. She’s a
i very tine girl, and I’m the wrong fellow.
“Wise met his wife when she was a guest
! of the Hotel Normandie with her father
j and mother. They lived there about a year
I and a half before she and W ise were mar
i ried.
“Wise was at one time a mining man in
Alaska, where he met with considerable suc
• cess.”

JUDGE BUNNELL CONVERSES
ABOUT THE INDIGENT FUND
(Fairbanks Times, March 201
“I wish you’d work out a problem for
me,” said Judge Bunnell last night. “I’m
wondering how I am going to make $S54
do the work of about SI,400, and I find
Fb up against it.”
The judge was talking about the fund at
his disposal for the care of the indigents
of the Fourth judicial division. He has
five of them on his hands, ami the prob
lem which now confronts him is how to
care for them during the present quarter,
or the months of January, February and
March, at the rate of $3 per day each. The
average cost of their keep for the quarter
is $270 per person, with a total for the
quarter of $1,350. And there is only $So
in the indigent fund.
three ot the inaigents are now in the
hospital here, one is at Nuluto and another
at Tanana. There was one at Iditarod, but
he died, leaving bills charged to the gov
ernment of something in the neighborhood
of $100, and this must come out of the
indigent fund. There is also a charge of
$125 for the burial of a man who died at
Iditarod, but this sum the judge cannot pay
out of the indigent fund, for the reason that
the government holds that an indigent
ceases to be such when he becomes a corpse.
In considering the matter last evening the
judge stated that he supposed he would have
to pay the funeral expenses out of his own
pocket, having ordered that the body of the
indigent be buried.
Judge Bunnell says that all of his troubles
would be easy if this division were on tiie
coast. For in any of the other divisions, ex
cept for a short time in that for which
Nome is the headquarters, all a judge has to
do is to pay transportation charges for in
digents to the Pioneers’ home at Sitka. To
transport indigents from the Interior to
the coast, particularly in winter, is prac
tically impossible, for the reason that the
cost of transportation would be greater than
the cost of their maintenance here until
after the opening of navigation. The health
of the indigents is also to be considered,
and it is practically certain that but few
of them would be able to withstand the
rigors of a winter trip over the trail.
Judge Bunnell says that, so far as he can
see, he has only two “outs” to his trouble.
The indigent law provides that a judge in
one division may draw on a judge in an
other division for funds in case of a sur
plus of indigents or a shortage of indigent
moneys, and Judge Bunnell is very seriously
contemplating laying his case before the
judges in the other three divisions.
The other “out,” and that most seriously
considered by Judge Bunnell, is to hold off
the bills until the next quarter, when the
indigents probably will be fewer in number.
He figures that he could then borrow
enough money from that quarter to pay
the debts of this quarter.

Alaska Steamboat Man's Troubles
Word has reached Fairbanks that the
police department of Seattle is searching
for Richmond Boyd Barker, son of Fred U.
Barker, a well known steamboat pilot of In
terior Alaska. It is asserted that Mrs. Bar
ker, who is suing her husband for divorce,
kidnaped the child. The little boy is 3
years old. Mr. Barker is well known in
Fairbanks, having been pilot on the steamer
Reliance and other boats of the Northern
Navigation Company. Nothing is known
there, however, of his domestic troubLs.

Editor Arrested for Libel
George Hinton Henry, editor of the So

custody on April 1 on the charge of crimi
nal libel preferred by George Herrington.
The complaint in the case states that Ilcnry
printed libelous and scandalous matter con
cerning the daughter of the complainant,
who has figured prominently in the recent
criminal cases tried in the district court.
Henry pleaded "not guilty” to the crime
charged, and has furnished bonds in the
sum of $500. His trial will be held in the
commissioner’s court, and may bp with or

Making Progress with Motor Sled
A1 Gawn, with his motor sled, succeeded
in breaking all existing records for travel
over the trails from Nome to Solomon in
the course of a speed trial of the new ma
chine this morning, says the Nome Nugget
of March 3. The motor departed from
Nome at 10:55 and was well inside the
record at all points along the course. Solo
mon was reached at 1 :26, two hours and
thirty-one minutes after leaving the city.
The new speed mark is six minutes inside
of the best record made by dog team. The
trip was unmarred by accidents of any na
ture, and demonstrated conclusively that
the machine is well fitted for winter travel
where the trails are faiily smooth.

All-Alaska Sweepstakes
Freni Nome dispatches in the Ruby Rec
ord-Citizen it is learned that the All-Alaska
Sweepstake race started at 9 o’clock on the
morning of April 11. The starters in -the
408-mile event were: Ayers, with fourteen
dogs; Seppala, with seventeen dogs; Brown,
with twelve dogs; Delezene, with fourteen
dogs, and Kjegsted, with fifteen dogs. Each
team was driven by its owner. Ayers was
the favorite, with Brown second and Sep
pala or Delezene third. Seppala won in
89 hours 38 minutes 5 seconds, arriving at
Nome at 5:38:05 on the 14th. Delezene
was second, arriving at 7:14:55. His time
was 82 hours, 14 minutes and 55 seconds.
Ayers had not arrived at the time the dis
patch was sent, Kjegsted was resting at
Council, and Bobby Brown had gone back
to Council.

Fined for Buying Moose Meat
Dominic Vinnetti was fined $100 at
Ruby recently for buying moose meat out
of season, according to the Record-Citizen.
A. E. Light was the prosecutor. Several
hundred pounds of meat was found stored
in M. J. Flood’s warehouse, and Vinnetti
acknowledged its ownership. When ar
raigned he pleaded not guilty, but when
the ease came on for trial he W'as permitted
to change his plea and was summoned to
testify against Philip and Andrew, natives
from whom he procured the meat. It ap
pears that Vinnetti advanced the natives
supplies from his cache on Nowl river, for
which they were to deliver him moose meat
in remuneration. The meat in question
was in discharge of that obligation. The
natives were discharged on the point be
ing raised that Vinnetti was their accom
plice and his testimony was not corrobo
rated. John W. Dunn was attorney for
Vinnetti and C. K. Snow appeared for the
natives. The marshal’s office is now long
on perfectly good moose meat. The public
does not know how it will be disposed of.
O
Why Joe Is Sought
The Alaska newspapers have printed in
quiriea for Joe Lowery, and the following
Davenport, Wash., dispatch in the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer tel's why he is being
sought: “Jot Lowery, who left Davenport
twenty years ago, and for whom a search
was instituted after the death of his
brother, Andrew Lowery, killed recently by
the explosion of a carbide tank at his home,
has wired his sister, Emma Lowery, that
he will leave Bookings, Ore., soon and will
join her here. Up to this time the last
known of Joe Lowery was more than twenty
years ago, when, despairing of successful
farming in the Big Bend country, he gave
his brother his holdings and struck out fur
Alaska. Andrew stayed with the country,
which began to prosper, and when Joe Low
ery returns he will see an estate willed
his sister valued at $125,000, the accumu
1 ition of twenty years, with the little home
stead of which he was a [-art owner as a
nucleus.”

McCarthy Joins the Wet Ranks
After a year of self-denial and depriva
tion, after twelve months of parched
thoughts and depressed spirits, the people
of McCarthy, the metropolis of the Kenne
cott region, have experienced a change of
heart and once more joined the ranks of
the “wets,” and several applications for sa
loon licenses for that town have been re
ceived, says the Valdez Miner. The first
application, that of John Amber, was up
for hearing before Judge Brown on March
10. The census to determine the status of
the town on the liquor question was com
I leted a short time ago, and the result
showed that fifty-three residents of the
town favored the granting of liquor licenses,
thirty-one were opposed to having the "de
mon rum” in their midst, while eleven were
indifferent and refused to vote. As those
not voting are presumed to be opposed to
the granting of licenses, and are so counted
the majority in favor of saloons was eleven
and at the discretion of the court the resi
dents of McCarthy probably will be able to
indulge their thirst for the coming year a'
several places where the beverages which
stimulate will be sold.
O
Death of “Happy Jack”
Word reached the federal authorities at
Nome on the morning of March t> that
“Happy Jack,” an old timer who had lived
for years near the old Cleveland roadhouse,
about eight miles from Sinroek, died some
time during the preceding week or ten days,
according to the Nugget. Jack, who was
aged about 60 years, has been engaged, in
beach combing and mining in that locality
since about 1902 or 1903. His real name
is said to have been George L. Heiser, but
nothing is known as to his antecedents.
The former mail carrier on the Tellc-r run
states that he occasionally brought a letter
to the miner’s lonely cabin, but he is not
aware of the deceased having any outside
connections. According to the story brought
to Nome, the natives passing along the
coast for the past few days have noticed
that the cabin in which the old man lived
was entirely covered with snow. No one
investigated, however, until a day or so
ago. Three natives then proceeded to dig
an entrance into the place, only to discover
that the inmate was dead. Word was at
once sent down the coast, and Judge Fraw
ley and Bert McCarthy departed for the
scene.
