FALL DAMAGES .1. J. WALSH
John J. Walsh, while on his way
down town Monday evening, had the
misfortune to stumble over the pro
truding tongue of J. McCahey’s sled,
and seriously wrenched his shoulder.
It was at first thought that the
shoulder had been dislocated but Dr.
Welch’s examination disclosed noth
ing more serious than a painful
wrench. Mr. Walsh is confined to
his home as a consequence.

narrowly escaped death Thursday
thru carelessly drawing from his
sled a loaded shot gun. The dusky j
gentleman was on his way to Nome |
with his dog team and upon sighting j
a flock of ptarmigan attempted to !
draw his shot gun. In some unex- ;
plained manner the gun discharged, j

HARBOR fOVERKD
BY SLUSH K’K
Ice, of the slush or new made var
iety. covered the roadstead Friday,
for the first time this fall and in
augurated the latest freezeup period
on record for this section of the
coast. So far the pack ice has not
put in an appearanee and will prob
ably not show up at all if the cold
weather of the past two or three
days continues to weld the slush ice
into more compact mass.
FOXES REPORTED \niBROl'S
Travellers from all parts of the
peninsula report that foxes of both
the red and white spicies are partic
ularly numerous this fall and a good
catch is predicted by fur men. Par
ties residing on the nearby creeks
say that the animals are seen al
most daily. The presence of so
many of them is attributed largely
m the return of the ptarmigan after
an absence of several years, ptarmi
gan being the principal food of the
foxes during the winter period.

[ CITY COUNCIL DESIGNATES
STANDARD TIME FOR CITY
I On Monday November the 28th,
| the regular meeting of the Nome
| City Council was called to order by
I Mayor Charles Rice, all members
j being present. After the regular
| routine business of the meeting was
disposed of a communication from
John Wilson was read to the effect
that, in as much as the various
watches and clocks of Nome differed
so materially, it would be desirable
to establish an official time for the
community. Mr. Wilson volunteer
ed to see that the city clock was
properly regulated each week, at no
expense to the city. He suggested
that the time of the city clock be
established as the Standard Time of
Nome. Upon motion of Councilman
Haelson, seconded by Burgh. it was
resolved that the time of the city
clock become the Standard time of
The clerk’s financial report shows
that the city has a debit balance of
$40.00, which condition is due to the
fact that the time for annual assess
ment of taxes was changed from
September to November. The tax
roll for 1921 is now complete and
taxes will son begin to come in and
the* situation will be relieved.
The report of the Deputy Assessor
shows that satisfactory progress is
being made in issessing personal
property heretofore neglected. Many
Nomeites take the stand that they
are not taxable on goods and luxur
ies kept in their home. This is a
wrong attitude to assume, however.
;ind shows a decided lack of civic
spirit. If all persons possessed of
these articles would be fair and as
sume their proportionate share of
th«* burden of keeping up the city,
there would be no criticism. The
trouble is that too many Nomeites
arc selfish in their attitude toward
the community and lavish in their
social relations.

VICTORIA PASSENGERS
GIVE ESKIMO GIRL AID
Seattle. Oct. 6—Dr. J. H. Condit
of Juneau, superintendent of the
Presbyterian hoard of missions is
a late arrival here, having arrived
on the Victoria from Nome.
Perhaps the most popular passen
ger on the steamship Victoria, which
arrived in Seattle. September 14|
from Nome, was little Mary Buck, a
14 year-old crippled Indian girl.
Mary, whose Indian name is Jggi
yuk, was one of a party of five native
children on their way to the Indian
school at Chemawa, Oregon.
"Mary's troubles began in the fall
of 1919.” said Ur. Condit. "She
was living at Rocky Point, nine miles
from Nome, with her father and
mother, two brothers and a sister.
Shortly after the last trip of the
steamship Victoria the influenza
broke out in Nome and the surround
ing country. More than one-half of
the Eskimo population died. There
were left seventy-five flu orphans,
among them Mary.
"When a relief party entered the
home of Mary's parents they found
them dead and the four children
huddled together in one bed. The
weather was very cold. It was in
the dead of winter. Mary, then 12,
and an older brother, had taken off
most of their clothes and wrapped
them about the two smaller children.
The brother died a short time later
from the effects of the cold and
Mary’s left leg was frozen and had
to be amputated above the knee.
"Mary was taken to live with her
grandmother at Mountain village,
but finally the government teacher
put her on a barge and sent her
down the river. Ill* girl had prac
tically no clothing and an old sour
dough at Mountain village gave her
$20 to purchase some.
"Mary was supplied with crutches
when her leg was amputated, but
these are too short now and have
been broken several times."
Dr. Condit brought the little girl's
case to the attention of the passen
gers and took up a collection of $105
to buy her an artificial litnb.—El.
