A. BOGUS POKE
 CAUSES TROUBLE
Dudley P. Harrison Arrested at Tel. fer Because lie fad It in His
 Possession.

A $500 poke of bogus gold dus: was the mean. of causing the arrest last Monday in Teller of Dudley P. Har- rison, of Nome.
 Although it has been known that considerable quantities of 'phony' go dust have been mixed with the real article this season in Nome, this 92te was 1 lied to the laws with an ex- cellent imitation of gold dust.
 The story leading up 10 Harrison's arrest is an interesting one: that he & the victim of some ''pusher of the queer" is evident. Last Saturday Key Pitt, man sent Harrison up to No. above Hayden's on Gold Run for Sl,3CO in dust from that claim, which Mir. Pitt man owns. A. Ford is the layman and he had written to Mir. Pittman as to the amount of dust due him. Har- rson reached Gold Run, secured two pokes from Ford, aggregating $500 and went to Teller. Arriving there, he deposited the pOkes with tho Anes Mercantile Company, securing $20 in chechako money, the dust in exchange being taken from the poke. which proved to be bogus. Harrison was shortly afterward arrested, and he i'm mediately wrote Mir. Pittman the facts telling him he did not understand how such thing could be.
 Harrison was taken before Commis- siUner nlen and refused to plead, asking that he case be postponed until Mir. Pitt a could reach Teller. This Judge Galen de, lined to do, ard Har- rison was held m t2, coo, bail being fur atShe
 Upon receipt of Harrison's letter Putnam inn edi itely started for Teller, and he and harrison returned to Nome yesterday morning.
 Now as to the gold dust. Nr. Pitt man says that Ford, the layman, de pOsited the two sacks in saloon on Gold Run, where they remained for week. He became alarmed, however, and went to the saloon f. .r the dust The first time he went after it he did not secure it, it being claimed that the man who a tie combination to the safe was ab ent. Ford went again and got the pokes, but he noticed that a $l9 nugget was missing; the poke when weighed al-o showed the shortage. Fold said that he was glad to get the poke back with that loss. He then took the pokes to the claim and buried them un- til Harrison arrived and be handed then. over to him on the morning that Har- rison started for Teller. ,
 Mir. Pittman will have the matter in- vestigated by the grand jury. Ford has llready been subpoenaed as a witness.
