ALASKANS INTERESTED IX NKW
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
The reporter of the "Nugget" met
Mr. James Stokes the popular sec-1
rctary of the Northwestern Fur,]
Game and Fish Protective Associa
tion while on his rounds and asked
him how the Association was com
ing on. to which he made reply:
advertising surely must bring re
sults, for the articles that appeared
in some of the previous issues must
have been read in the outlying dis
tricts quite extensively, by the num
ber of Inquiries for data upon the
matter, and their expressed desire
to become a member of the associa
tion. proving conclusively that the
wild birds, animals and fish life
have many friends.
it. S. WEAVER WINS
VTCTROLA AT LOMEN’S
Promptly at 4:30 last Sunday af
ternoon Lotnen Brothers held their
public drawing to determine the
winner of the beautiful No. XI Vic
Irola on exhibition in their Drug
The coupons were placed in a
large revolving barrel and spun for
fully fifteen minutes by a disinter
ested boy. An Eskimo boy was then
selected to draw out six numbers.
The first five were no count, but
the sixth was to be the winning
number. When the lucky ticket
was drawn it was found to be No.
7157. No one present held that
number and so ten others were
diawn as alternatives. It was an
nounced by the management that
the winning number would be held
for 30 days and after that time the
next number would be the winner.
O. S. Weaver returned from his
pleasure tj|n to Solomon Monday

Over eight I uasandf aets had

representing payment of one dollar.
The drawing was in charge of R.
B. Julien and C. J. Woofter. While
the drawing was proceeding the
ciowd in the store was on Its toes
full of excitement, eager to hear the
announcement of the lucky number.
To say that there were disappoint
ments is to indulge in the superflu
ous. As there was to be but one
winner someone of course was to be
fortunate while the rest of us merely

I . S. MAIL IN FIRE
AliONG ALASKA RAILROAD
Somewhere along the Alaska Rail
road the United States mail suffered
damage by fire within the last sixty
days. Where, when and how is un
known. It is impossible to learn
from postal authorities any details
regarding this Are.
Some days ago a rumor was cur
rent about Nome that such fire had
occurred, but upon making enquir
ies at the post office the Nugget was
unable to confirm or deny the re
port. On this last receipt of mail,
arriving Thursday afternoon, there
is conclusive proof that such fire
did occur. Numerous Nomeites re
ceived parcel post packages and reg
istered mail that in some instances
were badly charred. Letters and
papers received in the ordinary mail
seems to be free fro many evidence
ot fire and the natural conclusion
i3 that a certain section of some
mail oar was the scene of an acci
dent. Registered and Parcel Post
matter is usually kept apart from
paper and letter mall in a Mail Car,
being put aside in piles.
It is possible that a oar lamp or a
car stove set fire to some sacks
damaging but a small part of the
car’s content*, again there is the
possibility that an entire oar was
burned with but a small part of the
contents saved. Whatever the con
ditions are we will shortly learn
what happened and the extent of the
damage, as the Nugget has wired
the Nenana News for particulars and
details.

BOUND OVER IN RE SHOOTING
OF J. D. HHEIiDOX
The U. S. Marshal’s office at Nome

Michael’s stating that Commission
er Williams has bound over to the
grand jury Robert Arnold, who is
charged with manslaughter in the
matter of the shooting of J. D.
Sheldon along the Yukon.
Commissioner Williams held an
inquest over the body and while the
Marshal’s office is not informed as
to the finding it is reasonable Vo
presume, from the subsequent act
of the Commissioner, that he found
evidence of foul play.
