A II. MOOKU TARTY
UFTIKNIVU TO NOMK
WITH l-UU.KK ItOAT
From private information reaching
Nome this week, it was learned that
A. H. Moore recently closed a deal
for a 1.000 horsepower gas screw
vessel with a cargo capacity of 2.204
tons. The vessel is a sister ship of
the schooner Wni. Donovan built in
1014 at Seattle. She is 241? feet
ling and 47 feet beam, drawing 24
feet depth when loaded.
It was also learned that due to the
fact that the sailing date from Cali
fornia will not likely be until July
1st.. Moore has decided to send in
his dredge crew on the first sailing of
the steamer Victoria so as to enable
the Moore Company to begin dredg
ing operations on Osborne Creek as
soon as possible.
It will be recalled that Moore
brought in a quantity of coal last
year and materially reduced the
price of same to such an extent that
the coal was sold to purchasers as
fast as it could be brought ashore,
ai.d hauled away, and many persons
it was learned, were unable to obtain
a ton. due to the numerous orders of
coal consumers. This year, it is un
derstood. Moore will probably bring
in 2,000 tons of coal, which it is be
lieved will be sold at a greater re
duction than last year.

TEXAS SI.KI'TH TKIJjS HOW
HK FOILED GANG
Fori Wort ft. Tex. J. Frank Nor
fU-et, celfbrat**«i Texan ranch-sleuth
who basked in national prominence
through h;K three- year seanh and
capture of the four con men who re- ;
lieved him of his life's savings of
$15,000. has succumbed to the lure;
of the lecture platform.
Following the opening of l be first
engagement here. Norfleet, stated
he had arranged a long tour over the
nation that he might lay before the |
eyes of the world his own faJlacy as j
a warning to get-rich-quick aspirants
—and recuperate his fleeting for
presenting an ancient stock game. I
appeared at lias home and allowed ,
him to make a few nickles on his j
first minor investment.
"One of them dropped to his knees
at d. with a Bible to his forehead, de
clared that, in the name of his ‘An
gel Mother,’ their investment was an
honest proposition." he says.
On the strength of their mother
u&iths and his first small profit, Nor
flee-t piaatered his ranch with mort
gages. sold off his cattle, withdrew
[his savings from the bank, borrowed
oi hiit friend* and brought forth
$45,000 in rash on the well known
silver plaUer. The notes which he
placed in their keeping were never
cashed, confining his loss to the cur
With frequent illustrations of
• quick-drawing—-shooting from the
hip—d«i$>craite grappling with his
assailant's"--Norfleet punctuates his
talks with an enthusiastic vigor that
twangs an excitable cord along the
spinal column.
He tells of his three year search
for the Tour swindlers, several per
sonal encounters attending their
capture and how each in turn—when
confronted by himself, single handed
—dropped to his knees, pleaded for
clemency with genuine tears.
He has sent three of them to pris
on. The fourth will be brought to
trial here within several weeks.
However, several prominent edu
cators who absorbed his preliminary
ta!k, as an embryo orador, to a num
ber of school children, reported his
speech as “nicely flavored—but not
too blood-curdling for throll-loving
boys and girls."
His experiences in tracing the
swindlers, subsequent gun fights and
hand-to-hand encounters reads like
“flamboyant fiction" they said.
EDWARD J. FOX, the Watch and
Clock repairer, has returned to Nome
and will devote his entire time to
Watch repairing, etc. Leave work
at Holts.
ATTENTION SHOOTRltS
There has been considerable com
plaint against young boys and others
discharging fire arm3 within the citj
limits. This is not enly a violation
#f law but is extremely dangerous.
Any person apprehended while sc
doing will be severely dealt with.

Johansen's children having “Small

smallpox iji Nome. The writer, who
