WAS THE SHOOTING
tVr.UJJID VOR
In an Issue of the Nome Nugget
of recent date an article was printed
.giving what we were informed at
the time of that publication, the
facts «.f the killing of two reindeer
owned by the Biological Survey Sta
tion and four dogs owned by Terri
torial Senator Fred M. Ayer, since
the publication of that article there
has been brought forth much discus
sion and what is said to be the true
facts, or the other side of the case,
are as follows:
Senator Ayer the owner of the
dogs states that after the shooting
of the dogs he made a close survey
of the surrounding country and he
stated that he found evidence suffic
ient to prove to himaeif or any one
else who would care to look into the
matter, that the dogs were killed at
lo-.ist an hour after the attack on the
L. .1. Palmer of the Bureau, ac
cording to all reports, left Nome ap
proximately 30 minutes after the
reindeer team, which was driven by
Hans Saniuelson, left the barn, and
Palmer carried a rifle on his sled,
said to be a 30-30*calibre, and Sam
uelson carried a small calibre re
volver. it is claimed by at least three
men. states Mr. Ayer, that the dogs
which were killed met their death
from bullets fired from a much
larger calibre gun than carried by
Saniuelson. information coming
front a reliable source was that
Saniuelson stated after the deer
were dead, "there’s no use in kill
ing the dogs now that the deer are
dead." Other information was that
Palmer stated when he heard the
deer had been killed, that the dogs
would be taken care <-f. or words to
It is freely stated that conclusive
proof has been unearthed that the
dogs which were shot, did not re
ceive an injury from gunshot dur
ing the attack on the deer with the
exception of one dog. which Samuel
son if is stated, was successful in
shooting with the revolver, the gen
eral belief is that the dogs were
shot one hour after the attack on
the deer, which, if that belief is
correct, places the man responsible
for the killing of the clogs in a very
peculiar position.
Senator Ayer states that he has
always been a strong advocate for
the protection of reindeer from the
attacks of dogs, and adds that had
he been at the scene of the attack
he would have assisted Saniuelson
(in killing the dogs in order to drive
them away, had it been necessary
I to resort to such action. But states
that he does not believe the dogs
were killed while attacking the
deer, but states that he has proof
which points to the belief that the
dogs were killed while they were
feeding off the carcass of the dead
deer, left behind hv Saniuelson.
Regardless of the fact when or
how the dogs were injured, the
party responsible for the act should
have attended to the execution
thoroughly and not left one or two
of the dogs to drag themselvefi
around over the frozen tundra in a
wounded condition of such serious
nature that it was impossible for
the animals to reach, their home
barn. A wounded animal should,
when possible, be finished and not
left to die a slow and agonizing

irrevocable that the first article
written about this unfortunate in
cident was incorrect as to all the
facts, causes us to publish the
shove in the interest of fair play,

at their bits all week but there was
no game on account of one of the
tram batters whose nom do plume is

game was played, there was quite a
number of stockholders in the big

regularly and discussed the coming
At the meeting. Bush Leaguer Do
heny appeared with a couple of his
little playmates known as “Kid”
Sinclair of "bribe-arious” fame, and
another youth who sails under the
flag of "Dark-lantern McLean.” a
very close friend of “3-bagger Dau
gherty’s" also. After these esteem
icd gentlemen w’ore seated and all the
valuables in the audience placed out \
jof their reach. Pitcher Walsh arose, ]
land handing his one-karat nugget
ring to a brother of Jesse James for
safe-keeping, he said: “Gentlemen,
as our esteemed friend Tma Fall Guy
and Dent N. Denby cannot he with
us this morning we will havp to dis
pense with the lesson of strong arm
work which those gentlemen men
tioned are capable of teachine. and
j proceed to the next order of busi
ness. Kid. McAdoo. here, states
| that he has a scheme which he has
worked numerous times, and one
(which he will teach to any one of us
| for the small sum of fifty million
I dollars, whereby the Treasury De
partments can be looted of their ill
gotten wealth and distributed to the :
poor, overworked and downtrodden
politicians of a thankless nation.
Now. if there are any here who
would like to get some Inside infor
(nation on this subject,, just call at
Bribe-arious Sinclair’s office any time
| after midnight and before four a. m..
and see Kid McAdoo and he will
hand out the information wanted
upon receipt of a check for the fee
charged.”
It was about this time that a gent
leman from the rear of the audience
arose and in a booming voice pro
claimed. ”1 am ‘Cocaine Forbes.’ I
don’t know much about oil. gentle
men. but when it comes to handing a
rough deal to a flock of crippled
soldiers who didn’t know enough to
stay away from the war, I’m there a
million. If there is any chance to
get in on this game and play an in
ning before the Feds draft me to
Chicago. I'd admire to have that
chance.”
At the finish of Cocaine Forbes’
chin-fest, "Fat Burns.” a fly-cop,
leaped to his feet and yelled, “no
thing doin’ gang. I don’t mind sep
arating the helpless masses from a
few millions, but I draw the line at
robbin’ .the cripples, an’ the first
man that attempts to swindle Cal
will get pinched.”
It is hard to say just what else
would have taken place at this meet
ing had not a messenger flown into
the room and announced that a gent
who said be was the "Kron Prinz”
was selling the White House at auc
tion and all the audience did a mar
athon to the scene of the alleged auc
tion in order to get something for
nothing.
