The "a, 500, 900 bond issue for school improve

Tor the past few weeks, was just squeezed
through at yesterdays meeting. Despite the
kilograms to members Of the Council. sent out

opposition OF Councilman Cassidy. there were
but twenty-five members present. To pass
the bonds required twenty-five votes. Among

In favor OF the bonds and has said some hard
things about the obstructionists. II was SAID

A Lucky Strike.

Wednesday, just after noon,
while engaged in taking up the
alley way near the Hulburt
property Hank Bier picked up
three dimes in succession. Geo.
Reed. who happened to be stand
ing near, suggested that they
dig deeper. Then and there
they formed a miners partnership
and began energetic operations.
They scratched like dogs after
woodchucks and didn't quit
scratching until they had exca-
waited $s.75, all in nickles and
dimes. They showed plainly
that they had been hidden for
years. The deposit was made
just under the edge of tha walk
at one corner, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that the coins were not
buried, as none Of them were
more than six inches in the
earth, but that time had assist
ed in covering some of them to
this extent. The dimes were
fairly bright, but the nickles
were badly tarnished. Most OF
the coins were in a heap and
were cemented together selidly
with dirt until they resembled a
clod, and they had to be broken
apart. The latest date any of
the pieces bore was 1888, SO il
may be concluded that they had
been buried between ten and
twelve years.
I Many are the conjectures as tc
how the meney came to be there,
and it is generally conceded thai
some party had stolen it and
hidden it there. Possibly there
I were two of them and If either O
them ever returned for the money,
! a hasty 'tfeel" ander the walk
may not have revealed it and the
party may have concluded tha
the "other fellow got away
with it and for his own safety
kspt quiet. But all of this i.
tho merest conjecture, and tht
true history of the affair in al
likelihood will always remair
a mystery.
Hank and George divided
{ even, and both agree that thi
is an era of prosperity. When yot

yet realized at Nome. It ma,
be we'll to advise against to-

There May be a Suit.

There is possibility of Sher-
iff Burnett being involved in a
la Hsuit, but up to yesterday
forenoon he had not been in
formed officially of any proceed
ings against him. Nor had any
papers relating to the matter
been filed with Clerk Walters.
Should any suit be brought
against Sheriff Burnett it will be
for the replevin of forty sacks OF
grain, or the value thereof, and
John Stalbusch is expected to be
the plaintiff. From what can be
learned Of the matter it appears
that Mr.. Stalbuseh held a mort
gage on certain wheat raised by
Walter Cline, which he claims
was a bona fde mortgage. A..
Fi.cher, having a claim against
Mr.. Cline, had the sheriff attach
the wheat, and the papers were
served by S. L. Henderson, act
ing deputy for Sheriff Burnett.
Should the matter be pushed,
Sheriff Burnett is amply pro.
tected, as he exacted an indem-
nifty bond from the plaintiff fol
whom the wheat was attached
before he proceeded in his offl-
cial capacity in the matter. Ou1
| contemporary stated in its last
issue that the suit had been com
menced against Sheriff Burnett
such is not the case. It furthel
lstated that Coroner Wilkins, a.
elisor, served the papers on ths
sheriff. This In turn was incor
rect, as no papers had bee.
served, and if they had beer
Coroner Wilkins is empowered
