The Nationals did it again and the
final score was Nationals 15. Amer
icans making three straight
games for the Nationals
The basket ball games held in the
School gymnasium are creating a
great interest to parents and others
interested in the development of
children. On this evening of Mon
day March fith many new.faces were
present and the absence of others
was likewise noted. Enthusiasm
was contageous, rooters made the
welkin ring with their yells and ad
vice. but when the smoke of battle
cleared thg. Nationals once again
had demonstrated their ability to
overcome be^T'a^t fdCfvn.
The regular Friday game of bas
ketball was held in the school gym
between the Americans and Nation
als. and the Americans came back
with a punch.
Until the last quarter the game
stood 4-0 in favor of the Nationals
but after some deep dope from the
side lines the Americans turned the
Ude of battle from certain defeat
into a complete victory.
By fast and clever work Charles
Becker and his stalwarts put it over
the Nationals to the tune of 9-<L
The result of this game now places
both teams on a 50-50 basis, each
having three to their credit. As the
series consists of 12 games the neck
to neck race creates great interest
in both teams and also keeps the
rooters on their tip toes.
The afternoon attendance was fair,
many school children were present
as were their mothers, with a sprink
ling of men enthusiasts.

N. 11. Nelson, aud Mike Martin
were engaged in a game nf pangingl
Tuesday night and in the course ol
the game abusive language was used
with the result that a catcti as can
fight was the neat number on the
program. Various implements of
war were used to convince the other
fellow that he was wrong. Officers
from the city bastile arrived on the
scene and proved that both contest
ants were wrong and took them in
charge, releasing them on their own
recognizance until Wednesday after
noon at 2 p. m., at which time they
appeared before City Magistrate
Grimm. Both entered a plea of
guilty and received a fine of one
hundred dollars. Nelson paid the
fine but Martin was unable to raise
the necessary money and becomes a
lodger in the City jail for fifty days.
The firm attitude taken by City
officials In this matter is to be com
mended. and as a reminder to oth
ers who have the idea that city or
dinances are mere scraps of paper,
and that they can be violated with
Impunity and who assume the atti

PAIIAI-VZKH IN CABIN
Joseph Fleet, well known to all
old timers of Nome, was found par
alyzed in his cabin at the head of
Dry Creek Tuesday afternoon and
was brought to the Maynard Colum
bus hospital where he died early
Thursday morning, without hawing
gained consciousness.
Louis Kerry while on a hunting
trip near the head of Dry creek came
to the cabin belonging to Fleet and
noticed that there were no tracks
leading to or from the place. It
was w’ell known that Fleet was oc
cupying the cabin for he had been
seen the day before and was prepar
ing to do some work on the claim.
This fact led Mr. Berry to believe
that something unusual was the mat
ter and he went to the window to
see if he could discovery anything
wrong. He saw Fleet lying in his
bed with ono leg hanging over the
edge and attempted to arouse him,
failing to get a response he broke
in the door and found Fleet paralyz
ed and speechless.
Berry built a fire in the stove and
attempted to relieve the stricken
man but to no avail, realizing that
I the man must Ik* brought to Nome
| immediately for medical attention,
; Kerry left for his own cabin where
I lie found that his partner. J. Ekberg,
had just returned from Nome with
provisions. Fkberg immediately
hitched up his team of five dogs and
started for Fleet’s cabin with Berry.
The men bundled the unconscious
body of Fleet into the sled and start
ed for Nome arriving at the May
nalrd-Columbus hospital Tuesday
Dr. Welch was called to attend
the stricken man but was unable to
do any thing for him and early
Thursday morning Mr. Fleet passed
into the great unknown without hav
ing regained consciousness.
When last seen alive and conscious
Fleet was in the best of health as
he bad been for some time. Natural
ly a strong man. one of powerful
physique, he was a striking figure
among men and for one of his type
to be stricken under such circum
stances. all alone, no helping hand
to iiid. i» indeed sad. May the in
finite love of Almighty God encom
pass his released soul. Bequiescnt
in pace.
EXHIBITION NATIVE SCHOOL
WOKK BUREAU IIDUCARON
Many people of Nome have an
erroneous conception of the scope
and accomplishment of work con
ducted by the Bureap of Education,
under the supervision of Mr. Jean
Dupertius. assisted by a most cap-,
able and enthusiastic instructor,
Miss Springatou. Those persons
who attended the Eskimo exhibit,
thrown open to the people of Nome
last TJuesday afternoon, revised their
preconceived ideas and prejudices.
A truly remarkable showing was
presented and many adult whites left
the school realizing that a demon
stration of real educational valug
had been presented by the school.
The subjects covered by the ex
hibit demonstrate a high degree of
efficiency in sight reading of music,
arithmetic, geography, composition
work in English, free hand crayon
drawing, water color painting, sew
; ing. knitting, manual training and
other grade subjects taught to white
children in public schools. The ex
amples placed on exhibit were not
especially prepared for this occasion,
but were taken from the regular
class work accomplished during the
school year and show how efficient
training is productive of practicable
as well as theoretical results.
The Eskimo Sschool has an en
rollment of one hundred and thirty
five pupils and is conducted by three
teachers, none of them afraid of
work. Miss Sprinston has under
her immediate supervision 45 pupils
of different grades.

REPUDIATION' OF FALSE RUMOR
There is a report being circulated
on the streets of Nome to the effect
that I voted against transportation
on legislation, while attending the
Legislature. This report has no
foundation and is false.
I introduced House Joint Memorial
No. 8. asking federal aid for trans
portation It passed both Houaea
without a dissenting vote. The re
port that I voted against my own
bill is false. A man voting against
his own bill would be run out of
Juneau.
I worked hard to procure relief
for Seward Peninsula In the matter
of obtaining more effectent service
and cheaper rates of transportation.
Resides spending my own money for
wires to Washington, D. C. and sev
eral friends, asking their aid. I
voted against a resolution introduc
ed by someone having a grievance
against the Tacoma Smelter, calling
them thieves and robbers. Thla
resolution Contained a transporta
tion clauce and I voted against the
resolution on the grounds of not con
demning any corporation or industry
unheard or with out the chance for
self defense.
T trust that no further explanation
of my efforts to legislate for tho
best interests of my constituents will
be necessary, for I feel that I have
done my duty, and my best efforts
have always been for the advance
ment of the country in which I live.
Honestly and fearlessly.
Respectfully.
