SOCIAL GATHERING
FRIDAY EVENING
Mrs. Duncan Receives Fitting
Tribute From Her
Friends.
One of the most enjoyable social
events of the season was the party
given in honor of Mrs. John Duncan
at the A. B. hall last Friday even
ing.
So profusely were greens and
flowers used in decorating, that
were it not for the wood floor upon
which he was treading, the guest
upon entering might have supposed
himself to be in a garden brilliantly
lighted at night.
A banquet board the entire
length of the hall was covered with
snowy linen, good things to eat
and more flowers.
After partaking of lunch, at n
o’clock the guests listened to a few
well-chosen remarks by Judge
Green, in which was expressed the
genuine regret that would be felt
by all upon Mrs. Duncan leaving
Rampart, where she has endeared
herself to all with whom she came
in contact.
Mr. Duncan, on behalf of Mrs.
Duncan—who was too much over
come with emotion to reply,—re
sponded feelingly of the apprecia
tion felt by them both for the
tribute paid by their Rampart
friends.
Dancing was then indulged in
until a late hour.

HORSE THIEVES
ESCAPE AT TANANA
| Deputy Marshal Looking for
Them—Stole Horses on
Cleary Creek.
Deputy Marshal Vantier came
up from Tatiana yesterday on board
the government launch Rebbecca,
looking for two prisoners who had
broken jail.
The prisoners were charged with
horse stealing. They are supposed
to have stolen horses on Cleary
creek, in the Fairbanks district,
to have sold them at Circle, and to
have made their way down the
Yukon.
At Tatiana they were arrested
and placed in the military lockup,
from which they escaped. They
were afterwards seen walking along
the beach above the mission.
The deputy could get no informa
tion of the men here, and returned
to Tanana.
One of the parties is a tall, light
complected Swede and the other is
small and dark.
They are said to be desperate
characters.
Palm and Radigan
at the Florence
Messrs. John Palm and John
Radigan have assumed the manage
ment of the Florence Saloon, and
yesterday welcomed their friends to
the best in the house. The Flor
ence is one of the finest saloons on
the river, and Messrs. Palm and
Radigan are as well known as the
house. The place will doubtless do
a good business.
Major Cuthbert, of the Canadian
mounted police, was on the Cudahy
Monday night, bound for Dawson.
Commissioner Green showed him

St. Michael Monday night with

Tickled Readers
of the Cablegram
"Perhaps those conversant with
the facts will smile at the following
from the Yukon Valley News, pub
lished at Rampart July 12.” is the
comment of the Sitka Cablegram on
an announcement that George \V.
Chilson, at that time in charge of
St. Andrew’s Mission, would, on
the recommendation of Bishop
Rowe, go to New York and finish
his theological and musical educa
tion. The inference is that there
was a miscarriage of Mr. Chilson's
plans.
Two men from Fort (gibbon came
np Monday on the government
launch Rebecca and will remain till
Moth begins on the telegraph line
between R.impart and the mouth of
the Tanana. Construction will
probably begin in about two weeks.
