FOR BEATING A BOY
Indignant Neighhors Cause the
Arrest OF A. K. Drury, of
Rapids City.
FRANK WILZIN ALLEGED VICTIM
Officers Called to Quiet a Family
Quarrel.-Police Court
Stories.

A. K. Drury, of Rapids City, was
brought before Justice Cramer this
morning on charge of assault and
battery preferred by Frank Wilkin, a
13-year old boy who has been making
his home with Drury. The latter
took a change of venue to Justice
Schroeder's court and the justice had
the case postponed till Wednesday to
get further evidence. The arrest was
made at the instigation o. neigh bors,
who say that Drury is very cruel to
the boy and brother, who also lives
with him.
The case against ]. NJ. Hoover for
removing and selling mortgaged prop

Police as Peacemakers.
The police were called to the home
of family on Eighth street last night
about II o'clock to act as peacemakers
in a family ruction. When they
reached the scene, the wife, who had
summoned them, experienced
change of heart and prevailed upon
the officers to make no arrests.
His Funds Shy.
A very much bewildered stranger
came to town from Orion on the Bur-
lington train this morning in COM
pany with two young fellows who
promised to look after him. He was
ushered into the waiting station and
his guardians after time went away
leaving him to his own resources,
which, when counted at the police
station, amounted to something over
Sc. or about $40 shy of what he
claimed they should be. He says his
name is A. McGurdy.
Jakey Zimmer's PlaInt.
Jakey thinner showed up at the
police station this morning with a
bandaged optic seeking redress against
one Harris, for having wantonly and
wastefully spilled glass of whisky
in the bum member. AS the avail
able evidence tended to show that
other glasses had been spilled on a
different part of Jakey's person the
police were disposed to regard the
matter rather lightly.

SLOT MACHINES REMOVED.
M0ney-Paying Gambling D@~sces
shipped Out of the City On As-
count of Recent Agitation.

Several money-paying nickel-in-the-slot
machines will be missed from their accus-
toned places In Seattle saloons this morn
ing. Four OF the devices at least were
shipped out of the city last evening, 1t is
said, to Portland, where the majority OF
them are owned, being leased to the oper-
ators in this city.
The recent municipal reform agitation
has, II Is said, had the effect Of arousing
the fears of some OF the parties now en-
gagged In leasing the machines, and a few
of the latter have already been placed IN
retirement Several meHths ago, when
war on the machines was being waged ny
a local temperance organization, large
number OF them were shipped to various
cities near Seattle and there operated I'M

the machine owners have been compelled

A nractical test of the value of auto

be made. beginning January l. On tnat
date an automobile line VIII pc put IN
operation between Dawson ana Grahd
Forks. one of the creek towns 0. tne
district. Two of the borseiess vehicles
will make regular trips over the tran
betwaen the two places, carrying both
ma sseneers and freight Their successful
operation Is not questioned, 1t is SAID, py
those familiar with the route over which
they are to be run.
Upon the results of this test will de-
mend the future of the novel company or
ganized by e. III. Clear. If the auto
mobiles prove satisfactory and can be
run over the winter trails while carrying
sufficient business to make them profit
able to the operators. the system Will be
rapidly extended. Branches will be put
towns of the Klondike district. and be-
fore the end of the winter an automobile
line will be in operation between Dawson
and White Horse.
The five automobiles to be used in this
venture were shipped from Seattle Sep
TENDER %, in charge OF L. IL. Clear, the
promoter of the enterprise. The begin
ming of winter was then so close and the
freight congestion on the Yukon was so
great that 1t was impossible to get them
to Dawson before the freeze up. The riv-
ct SttaultT E<fubTddo, Oh winch tiicS WIZ
shipped from White Horse, was frozen In
at Selkirk, necessitating their transport
tation over the ice to Dawson. They are
still at Selkirk, and probably will be fit
ed up there and run to Dawson as soon
as the trail is in condition.
The two automobiles to be used on the
Grand Forks line will be shipped in ahead
of the others and given a thorough test
on the ice before being placed on the
run. Each Of the automobiles has seat
ing capacity of twelve persons and Is also
to carry several hundred pounds OF
freight.
There is no question as to the prac-
ticability of running the automobiles on
the good winter roads branching out from
Dawson to the various small camps OF
the district II Is said There is a heavy
passenger and freight business between
these towns. and the line will probably
prove profitable, especially az 1t Is claimed
1t can safely count on a large patronage
from the many residents OF Dawson, who
will desire to experiment with the pleas
ures of automobile riding.
The most severe test OF the value of
the vehicles for general transportation
purposes will come later In the winter
when the run from Dawson to White
Horse Is attempted. The Yukon snowfall
is so light that II will not interfere. but
trouble Is expected from the rough river
Ice For this reason the trial will not be
made until the trail Is in excellent condi-
ton.

DAWSON WILL NOT REFORM.
Omcials Fail TO Keep Women Out
Of the side Entrances Of
SalOOma.

The sudden attempt of the Canadian
government to work reforms in the mu-
nicipal affairs of Dawson has brought
about no material change for the better.
As in Seattle, everything is wide open.
Some months ago the Ottawa authorities
served notice on Dawson's responsible
officials to stop public gambling and pro-
hibit women from patronixing saloons
and similar resorts. But Dawson pas
ers that be have materially modified the
regulations.
Women are permitted In the theaters
where liquor is sold, and they may accept
treats and incidentally tips, but they are
forbidden the privilege of selling or so
lictting drinks, nor can they gamble at
the regular gaming tables.
As originally promulgated. the regula-
tons forbid women working In or FREE
quenting places where Intoxicating drinks
are sold.
