TO MAKE SOLID WITH MOVES.
The day the Senator arrived at
Nome with Judge Moves and party on
board, this man, acting for. certain at
torneys who represent a large mining
company operating near Nome, char
tered a gasoline launch, paying $10o,
for the surf was running high and
some danger was attendant. On
reaching the Senator the man at once
looked UP Judge Noyes, introduced
himself, stated that he represented the
lawyers Of Nome, that fine quarters
We're ready for him and his party, and
that all could go ashore at once. Dis
trict Attorney Woods was also asked
to go. But the water was too rough
and all declined the invitation. y Later
in the day, Woods and Q. H. Wheeler,
the judges private secretary, went
ashore on a tug. They looked up
some quarters and had about made ar
rangements when this same man dis
covered them and ait once took Woods
and Wheeler around to the ST. Law
renee to show them the rooms that
had been reserved for Judge Noyes and
party. This was at the time the only
Eirst-class hotel in the city. Woods
and Wheeler did not make a decision
at the time, but went away leaving the
matter unsettled. In the meantime
the man in question had been telling
everyone that Judge Noyes and party
would be at the st. Lawrence. In a
couple of days the wind and surf were
such that j udge Noyes could go ashore.
He was met at the beach by his new
and anxious friend and another man,
who was introduced as "judge.' They
went at once to the St. Lawrence.
Judge Noyes was very much pleased
with the rooms, and asked the land.

him that the rent had been paid
Noyes did not take the rooms, but in

which was just about completed, but

The whole scheme was part of an at

Nome was talking and laughing at the

the new judge. - Lawyers and busi-
ness men were very much pleased ut
what they. considered a good sign for
the future. /: Nome had for two or
three years been bled and robbed by a
set of theiving officials who would do
anything for money. With Judge
Noyes' arrival a new era commenced.
But the ''gang" was not disheart-
ened, They probably reasoned that
the new judge wanted to "see the color
Of their money. So they stopped to
the lowest Of means and sent several
anonymous letters to the Judge and to
several OF his officials. No attention
was paid to the first one or two, but
when one arrived which named dis
tinct sum, / am informed that it was a
quarter Of a million dollars, the judge
began to think that some attention
should be paid to the gentlemen who
were so anxious TO secure his favor.
He accommodated them by placing the
letters and what information he had,
together with his suspicious, in the
hands Of the United States marshal
and the district attorney What is be-
ing done Or will be done is not known,
but every decent and honest lawyer in
Nome hopes that the gang with their
repreh ensible methods, will be hauled
up shortly and summarily dealt with
