LOCAL NOTES
OF INTEREST
•
Judge Lindley Green will leave on
the Alameda for the outside. The
Judge will make a trip to Wasington,
D. C. beforo his return.
Messrs. Winchester and Kingsinger
left Wednesday for the Skeen Lechner
mine where they are employed.
Some sneak-thief made away with
three dollars from the show-case in
Butts, store, Wednesday night. The
money belonged to the fire boys as it
represented tickets sold for the dance.
Of course Billie had to make good and
he is pretty sore.
One of the most interesting features
of the ball on Wednesday night was
the prize fight between the Revelle
brothers. It was a two round affair
and was not slow. The fight was de
clared a draw and they were each pre
sented with a box of candy. Had there
betee a decision, it was the intention of
the winner to challenge “Kid Margules
of the Northern.
Mr. J. O. Patton won a prize at the
masqurade ball Wednesday night.
Now we are pleased to know this, but
we are not sat isfied with the way things
turned out. The prize that Mr. Pat
ton won was a case of that which made
Milwaukee so much talked about, and
as Mr. Patton does not look upon such
tilings when they foam, it was proposed
to give the “suds” to Judge Green in
return for the use of the Judge’s dress
suit, without which Patton would
have stood no show in winning a prize,
| but no; there was the W, C. T. IL, and !
! Mrs. Green on the hiring line. Mr.
! Patton is still in doubt as to what to
; do with his prze. He might send it
; to the ballet girl at the Gateway office
j and she will send it back to the brew

KIDNEY REMOVED
AND REPLACED
St. Louis, Jan. 2.—Mrs. Viola Sulli
vans, of this city, has just undergone an
opperation that few have undergone.
She was suffering from kidney trouble
and was in such a condition that some*
thing had to be done at once if her
life was to be saved. The physicans
in charge of the case decided that the
only thing to be done was to remove
the kidney and drain it, which they
did. The kidney was removed and
drained. It was then replaced, and
the patient is doing well, and it is
thought that she will recover.
WHY NOT THE MARYLAND
The Duke of Northumberland,
through the British Embassador, has
asked permission to hunt rare species
of (he don’t want moose) in Alaska and
asks that he be given the revenue
cutter Bear to cruise in. Why not
give him the cruiser Maryland, it has
more room to lounge arouud in.
But we are not surprised at the re
quest. Every year they are from two
to a dozen of these titled lords who
come up to Alaska and because they
have a title tied to them, go through
the country and kill anything that gets
up. from a ground squirrel to a moose,
and nothing is said, but let one of our
own citizens ask for any special favors
and they are denied them. \es, give
him the Maryland,
