TEAM MAKES SUDDEN DASH
LANDING KIDS IN THE SNOW
Saturday afternoon while iv .selling
from the scene of tin* “mulligan stew.”
one of the box* was driving a dog
team, the leader of which was a pow
erful brut** by tlu name of Prince.
Two children were on the *!ed, and all
went well till the team reached Fourth
avenue and was just entering the
town. At that moment Prince espied
an old enemy, a fuzzy wuzzv dog by
the name of Shukum. Ah*»ut the same
time Skuk hetho.'ght him* - o *ume
very choice b*nc* he had left down at
hi* home ami t:. ;st n< « «;* make ha*te
to see that t!;e\ were all right.
P»*ince. for: >fu! of the fate of the two
children on tit'* sled, *tart.ed in hot
pursuit of the rapidly vanishing Sku
kum. The children clung to tin *!ed
and the red cape "f utvol them la*ten
ed b\ *trings iloa^'d out behind war
ing bright !y over th* white landscape.
The driver lost control of sled and
dogs and with a sudden turn the chil
dren took a tumble to themselves and
landed in a snow bank with their little
feet and leg* pointing heavenward.
The team went fearingdown the street
ill *topped a! Pur-tines’ market. P.y
this time Skukum had made sure of
his bones at home.
A popular young man of the city had
a similar experience not long ago when
he went out with Duke Harris’ team
to give a young lady a sleigh ride.
The dogs saw another canine that they
felt in their hones must then and there
be chewed up, *o they turned aside
from the narrow path to do the act.
Before they had covered the distance
between themselves and their quarry
the young lady was rolled otY in a heap,
robes and all, and tucked away in a
snow drift, while the young man,
stood paralyzed, not being able to de
cide whether to dig the young lady
out of the snow or to disentangle the
fighting dogs. No serious damage was
done but much amusement was given
to the onlookers.

TOWN UNDER MARTIAL LAW
CAUSED BY LABOR TROUBLE
J. A. Cameron, internal revenue in
spector, arrived on the Northwestern
last night. F. very thing was quite in
Fairbanks when he left, but the labor
difficulties were coming to the front,
and a strike has been called. The
town has been placed under martial
law and 1(H) special deputies sworn in
to help maintain order.
ROUND-UP FOR MULLIGAN
STEW COMPLETE SUCCESS
At the hour appointed by the mem
ber- of the Seward Literary and Mu
sical Society for the meet to be held at
th e second link of the chain of hikes
! extending northward from the ice
' nouse, about fifteen braves with women
and children gathered around the boil
i ing pot. The tire was built upon logs
i beneath which lay three feet of snow.
' In spue of this rather chilly situation,
| it i- reported that no one got cold feet.
Whether into the stew went
F.ye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog
lias not been stated, though the mix
ture is said to have been decidedly
warn.ing and nourishing even though
it might have b mi lacking in some of
the more strictly bewitching qualities.
So satisfactory was the stew and the
comforts and pleasures of a tramp
tiiiough the snow, and of standing
about a log fire and a boiling pot in
mid winter that a suggestion was
made that the mulligan idea be propa
gated and the stew he henceforth put
on the progrnm of the societv and
made a part of the regular exercises.
The next time the society stows will
be announced later.
Social RVent at Knik
Speck' 1 to Tli 3 Daily Gateway.
Knik, .Ian. 27 The long winter nights
in the Noniilaml furnish occasion for
many a social gathering which the
lively town of Knik i> not >low in util
izing. On January 22 the streets were
brilliantly lighted, and in response to
invitations duly issued the people with
one accord assembled at the home of
Xaketta, second chief of his kindred
people, to enjoy an entertainment pre
paratory to the grand potlatchce lebra
tion which occurs about the first of
February on the Susitna river, when
the grand revelator and dictator of
the Russian faith, or a member of his
host hands down promises of the good
things coming in the sweet by and by.
At the hour for the entertainment
to begin, musicians and prompters
were selected form the company pre
sent, who cheerfully took their part
to help make the occasion one of en
joyment. Capt. W. J. Murphy of the
popular inlet steamer Swan acted as
prompter, very much to the joy of the
juveniles, who were delighted to have
such a jolly teacher. William Foster
acted as musical leader and displayed
noteworthy talent on the different
musical instruments.
A little company of friends, distin
guished for their fancy dress, were in
from the Matanuska to join in the fes
tivities.
Col. John O’Brien came down from
his Clover Valley ranch to meet the
company, and at a late hour William
Hughes, a packer on the Alaska Cen
tral railroad, came in and commended
the company on their happy appear
ance.
The joy of the entertainment filled
the hearts of all with good cheer and
enlarged their faith in the outlook for
prosperity of the new year.
