SEATTLE, Dec. 23.—The federal
grand jury has returned seven indict
ments against the Billingsby brothers.
Logan Billingsby has been arrested in
San Francisco and is being returned ]
to Seattle to stand trial. The Billings-1
bys are charged with several infrac
tions of the federal law, bootlegging
being one of them. The government
has strong evidence against the de
fendants. Before the grand jury, the
prosecuting officers submitted a tele
gram sent by Logan Billingsby to the
Jesse Moore Liquor company, of San;
Francisco, which read, in part: “Com
mence shipping at once two barrels of [
bulk whiskey every day to the J. C.
Caro Company, Juneau, Alaska. Do'
not designate care of any transfer ]
company in Seattle.” The government
alleges the Caro company was merely
a blind; that the liquor was not sent
to Juneau, but was handled here by
the Billingsbys.

AROUSED OVER WRESTLING j

ENTHUSIASM EVINCED
OVER DOG TEAM RACES
Art Shonbeck called at The Times
office this morning and reported that
he and Tex Jones were getting along
famously in regard to the Anchorage
sweepstakes dog races. Mr. Shon
beck makes the suggestion that the
races should be run from here to Sew- |
and return and further suggests that j
the kennel club should wire Charlie j
Herron in Seattle ami have him see1
what can be done in that city in the
way of financial assistance from the
big wholesale houses, steamship com
panies and other firms doing business
in this country.
Much interest is being taken in the
j races by other towns and all have
i signified their willingness to enter
j teams in the races. The matter is in i
| the capable hands of Messrs. Shon- :
| back and Jones and the balance of the
business men of Anchorage are volun
tarily giving their assistance and sup
port to the movement which is adver
tised throughout the territory as an
annual event.
