Report that United States Marshals are
to Sail for Nome to Arrest
Alexander Mckenzie
Court at Frisco Misinformed-McKen-
zie has Obeyed all the Orders
of the Court.

Tacoma, Oct. Bon the steamer
Senator, sailing Thursday, United
States Deputy Marshals Monckton and
Burnham will go to Cape Nome,
charged with the mission Of a~rresting
Alex Mckenzie of North Dakota, re-
ceiver in a number of Nome mining
suits, and to bring him before the
United States circuit court of appeals
to answer for contempt in having re-
fused to obey the writ of supersedeas
issued by Judge Morrow.
They are further instructed to call
upon the United States military au-
'thOrities to enforce the return of var
ious mining claims to those who held
them prior to he litigation.
The court at San Francisco has been
misinformed as TO existing conditions.
Mckenzie has obeyed all orders of
court except the turning over of gold,
and this he has not been ordered to do
by Judge Noyes, who is awaiting an
Interpretation of the order of the
court of appeals. The gold is tied up
where neither Of the thanksgiving
factions a get it. The Mckenzie
side of the case is yet to be heard.
AT NOME.
Nome, Alaska, Sept. L., via Tacoma,
WASH, Oct. Judge A. H. Noyes, ap-
pointed to this court from Minneapolis,
will demand an investigation of the
charges that have been made against
him.
His friends state that the mar who
made the charges attempted to bride
the court by telling him how he could
make $2OO,OOO in a single year by
standing with certain interests at
Nome.
When copies of the Minneapolis
Journal arrived here on Sept. Il o II
tanning the exclusive announcement
of the order Of the circuit court Of ap-
peals ordering all proceedings stayed
in the Anvil creek receiverships, it
created a great sensation.
What incensed the people of Nome
more than anything else was the testi-
mony rejecting on the integrity of
Judge Moves and Receiver Mckenzie,
through which the order of the circuit
court of appeals vas made.
If an investigation of the charges is
not ordered the judge will demand one
in order to clear himself of the serious
attacks that have ueen made upon his
character.
Each and every allegation made &c
the circuit court of appeals can be
readily and fully disproven without
any great effort on the part of those
accused.

house in Minneapolis, which it was
asserted Receiver Mckenzie had pait
off as soon as Judge Noyes was ap'

anything been paid on it for two years
AS to his expenses being paid an:
transportation being secured by Nc
Kenzie for him, that a be shown Il
be a falsehood, for, in the first place
he did not go to Tacoma over tn
Northern Pacific, as they allege, bu
came over the Great Northern, an
Mckenzie had no hand in furnishin!
his transportation to that point. NJ
the other allegations are just as friv
olous and are wholly without founda
ton.
During the tendency of the Anvil
creek cases every effort has been mai
!, to influence the court in it's actor
even to the extent of offering a none
consideration. When bribery faile
to do its work, then the enemy sougn
to destroy Judge Moves by c%oncoctin
stories affecting his honesty and intee
rity.
The honest and integrity OF judo
Noyes and Receiver Mckenzie is ur
questioned here. Judge Noyes' ar
pointment was backed by the strong
est following of representative and il
tluential men of any person who eve
| applied for official position. The ser
ators of three states Endorsed his az
: plication, and he and his friends stan
s ready to refute the false charges mad
against him.
Y The appointment of Captain j. {
Barr as purchasing agent and accoun
e ant for the receiversnip has done niue
to establish confidence in Receiv.
q Mckenzie here. Captain Barr
known throughout Alaska, havir
S been a pioneer since 1897. He is al
solutely i~ncorruptible and everybot
has confidence in him. He was maj
