BILL MAKES SOU TROUBLE
There was an exciting little episode yesterday morning prior
to the departure of the Nancy Bell for Dikeman, but while a gun
was drawn and women screamed, no blood was shed, and the inci
dent may be said to be closed.
It appears that Bob Agnew, a woodcbopper, had got a judg
ment against J A. McKay for wood supplied, and the money to
cover the judgment was lodged with Henry Roden. While at Dis
covery Thursday evening Agnew learned that McKay was on his
way Outside, and he hurried into town to see about the money
which was coming to him. Not being satisfied with a promise
which had been made, Mr. Agnew posted himself on the slip lead
ing to the N. C. dock and awaited the arrival of the unsuspecting
J. A.
In due course Mr. McKay appeared with his grips. Just be
fore he reached the boat he was accosted by Agnew, who demanded
that he deliver up forthwith. McKay may have thought that his
life or his property was imperilled, so he drew a gun on Agnew.
Agnew challenged him to shoot, and, as is customary in such cases,
the women began to scream. At this juncture bystanders took a
hand in the little drama, and separated the excited principals.
Agnew explained his position, and insisted upon getting his money.
Just then Deputy Marshal Tom Howell appeared on the scene, and
also Henry Roden, and matters'were'soon fixed so that Agnew got
his money while McKay only got aboard.
The first official act of Judge
Frederick E. Fuller in the Fourth
division was the appointing of At
torneys E Coke Hill, C. E. Taylor
and A. E Maltby to act as an ex
aruining board to consider the ap
plication of Walter Rovvson for ad
mission to practice at the bar. The
examiners reported favorably, and
[the applicant was admitted by
Judge Fuller in customary form.

B. T. James, who arrived from Moore creek early this week,
says that if the fall prospecting warrants such a step, a dredge
will be installed on Moore creek next season.
Bennett James and C- J. Hurley, of the American Bank of
Alaska, have purchased an interest in two miles of ground on
Moore creek (from 1-a. to 9-a.), and are now co-partners in that
property with Charles Knell and Eddie McArdle. Mr. James has
spent several weeks on Moore with his partners, and the result of
their work has been to demonstrate a paystreak at least 350 feet
wide, with a depth of 15 feet to bedrock, and running, on the aver
age, not less than 90 cents to the cubic yard. The total length of
this pay has not yet been determined with certitude, and for that
reason Messrs. James, Knell and McArdle will return to Moore
after thefreezeup and prospect the ground further.
After the new year Mr. Janies will leave for the Outside by

way of Fairbanks, taking with him a report on the results of the
prospecting, and it is upon this report that the installation of a
dredge will depend.
At present it is the intention of the partners to install a Ska
foot dredge, which could handle about 1,200 yards of gravel peri
day. It would be taken up the Kuskokwim as far as the Takotna,
and, under favorable circumstances, they may get it up the Ta- j
kotna, on the high water, and right on to the ground. If not, other
arrangements for transportation overland in the fall would be made
James and Knell are local agents for the Union Construction
Company of Sar Francisco, and the dredge will be supplied by that
, lii lii.
The work on Moore creek has been far more satisfactory this
season than it was in the early stages of the creek’s history, which
fact led the owners to exercise the option on the property.
List Wednesday morning, shortly before io o'clock, William Han
auer was ariested on the complaint of John Frank Keenan, and charged
with larceny, in that he did take, steal, carry away and appropriate to
his own use a five-dollar gold piece, the property of the said John
Frank Keenan. The hearing was set for this morning, and the accused
w as lodged in the federal jail.
Hanauer had been sworn in as one of the bailiffs in charge of the
jury in the Campbell case, and it is alleged that on the pretense of wak
ing the jurors, who were lodged in the Golden Eagle hotel, he made a
round of the sleeping quarters. Coming to the apartment occupied by
Keenan, it is alleged that the accused looked around, and, believing
himself to be unobserved, put his hand into the trousers’ po.ket of Kee
nan, and abstracted the contents. It is claimed that the act was wit
nessed by Jim Ryan, another juror, who was awake at the time. When
Keenan awoke, Ryan advised him to feel in his pockets. Keenan did
so, and discovered his loss. Ryan then told him what bad occurred.
Meanw'bile, hearing the noise, Jesse Rogers, proprietor of the rooming
house, and others, including Hanaus , went to the scene. At first
Keenan did not openly accuse Hanauer, but at last Ryan got tired of
the play and spoke up to the effect that he had witnessed the theft
Hanauer denied it, and Keenan said that he wanted no trouble over the
matter, but wanted the money back Thereupon Hanauer, it is claimed,
offered to refund the $5, rather than have any trouble. At this point
another juror remarked that he would be d-,1 i. he’d pay it if he had
not stolen it.
Eventually Tom Howell appeared on the scene, aud heard the
story. A search was made and on the blankets of one of the bunks—
not that occupied by Keenan—Hanauer discovered a §5 gold piece.
He was then arrested by Mr, Howell and taken before Commis
sioner Albrecht, where the charge was read, and the trial set for 10
o’clock this morning.
LATER.—When the case was called at 10:30 this morning Han
auer entered a plea of not guilty, and demanded a jury trial. The
task of getting a jury then commenced.

Commissioner W. A. Vina], of OphirJ
City, has set an example which might j
well be followed by other successful
operators in Alaska.
According to August Stetzer, Mr.
Vinal has had a large crew working
on his mining properties this year at
a wage scale of $6 a day and board.
Finding that the season had been a
successful one,the commissionershowed
his appreciation of the hard work done
by the miners by paying them off at
the rate of $0.50 a day, instead of at
tlie rate agreed upon.
Operators willing to share their
prosperity in this way will never have
cause to complain of a shortage of
efficient and willing labor, for they will
get the cream.
RICHARD E. MANDLEY IS WANTED
Mrs. J P. Cells, of 1,433 Common
wealth avenue, Westchester, New
York, is inquiring for bet brother,
Richard E. Mandley, commonly called
Dick Mandley. He left Dawson, it is
believed, in 1905, and located at Hot
Springs. He was afterwards supposed
to have come to Iditarod. Anyone
knowing where Mr. Mandley is will
confer a favor upon an anxious sister
by bringing this inquiry before him.
WEBBER & CO. VS. SUNDERBRDCH
The case of F. E. Webber & Co. vs.
W. Sunderbruch arose out of the
alleged failure of the defendant, to per
form a contract entered into with the
plaintiff to supply certain merchandize
at an agreed price. Plaintiff asked for
judgment for $1,400 and costs, while
defendant entered a counter claim for
$4,500. The case occupied the atten
tion of the court for several days, the
evidence being of a very conflicting
nature.
After taking the matter under advise
ment, Judge Fuller dismissed the case
and plaintiff must pay the costs of the
suit. _
