4TH OF JULY
With flags and bunting very much
in evidence thruout the city yester
day. Nome celebrated the Fourth
o*' July with fitting exercises in the
morning, the balance of the day
being devoted to athletics of all
kinds. The weather was a trifle
chilly due to winds which prevail
ed thruout the day, but neverthe
less a large audience turned out
and were in evidence at Barrack’s
Square were the patriotic services
were conducted. Considerable in
terest was manifested in the base
_ ball game which was played on the
> Steadman avenue grounds between
the Hanimon Consolidated Gold
Fields team and a picked Nome
team, which resulted in the Nome
team’s favor, by a score of 8 to 3.
In the evening a grand ball in
Eagle hall wound up the day’s fea-’
tlvities. the hall was well filled and
the merry dancers glided over the
hard wood floor to some of the
best music ever danced too in
Nome. The miners on the creeks
enjoyed a holiday and came to
town to take part in the celebra
; tion. The day will long be remem
I bered as one of the best celebra
tions pulled off in this city In a
i number of .fears. Much credit is
J to be given all the committees wbo
J had charge of the arrangements.
GUAM) JURY AT
JUNEAU SUGGESTS
| The Grand Jury that was recently
| in session at Juneau after a sere*
j d-ay session, submitted a report that
‘contained the following suggestions:
j “It has come to the attention of
(the grand jury that at a recent
j school dance, and at other public
; dances held at Juneau, school boya
[ and other minors were easily ablo
' to obtain intoxicating liquors, and
j we recommeud therefore, that
i i.rompt and cffflcient measures bo
{taken to properly police all public
j dances; if such dances are .not prop
, evly conducted, we recommend that
I such dance halls be classed as pub
[lie nuisances and abated as such;,
facd lt. to .the desire of this grand
I Jury that the owners of property
| nsed for public dance purposes bo
notified of these findings and roc
j ommemtations. ’ r \* i*
“We recommend that local petit
j jurors receive straight pay wMlo
| serving on the panel for the reason
i that most jurors mast lay off front
tl.eir regular emnloyment during
I the whole time that they are called
i npoH. to serve, and cannot return to
i their labors on the odd days that
( they are not sitting in a case.
“This grand jury found that cer
tain restaurants in Juneau havo
j closed boxes which can be locked
and totally screened. We believe
j that this condition leads to law vio
, lotions and we recommend that the
> town of Juneau remedy this condl
i tion by ordinances and strict en
! fi rcement of the same.”
