NKWS NOTKS
Mike Sullivan formerly a well
known glove artist of Nome, is now
in the city. While in Nome he fought
Jack Twin Sultican the middleweight
champion but got worsted.
Thirty or forty men had a difference
out at Mile I'A Saturday and many of
them are out of work. They com- j
plumed that the accommodations were
inadequate but some of the men say
they quit because after complaint was
made the fact was shouted to them
several times that any man who was
not sutistied could get his time. They
objected to lack of sanitary and bunk
arrangements.
Commissioner J. Karl Woolley came
out of the hospital Saturday night
and is getting well rapidly.
J. K. Mefferd is out of the hospital
after a long stay as the result of an
accident.
Mr. ami Mrs. J. 1>. Fischer have left
for Roosevelt to make their perman
ent home there.
