That there is going to be warm time in San Francisco next month, when the contempt case against Judge Moves, of the district court, comes up, is evidenced from the fact that a num- Der of Nome men have recently been subpoenaed as witnesses.

To Protect a Glacier Greek
 Bench Claim
NOW IN LITIGATloH
United States Marshal's Office Dis. claims Any Knowledge of Trouble on Glacier Creek-Telegrams Ex- changed With Fort Davis.

The Glacier creek bench claim troubles have assumed new phase. This morning Lieut.. Knudson, of Fort Davis, and detachment of military left at O. clock for the bench claim on Glacier in which the Mcintosh Bros. claim an interest.
 It will be remembered that on Aug. IA last number of masked men dis. possessed the Mclntoshes and others, and during the melee Dick Cornell was wounded in the leg by rifle shot.
 Since that time there has been con. siderable peace and quietness. although it is said that many ''snipers" have been at work, especially on the Mon- gollon Company's claim.
 At the marshal's office nothing is known as to who made the application for military intervention. In fact Chief Deputy Marshal Forrest did not know that military force had been sent out until so informed by NUGGET representative.
 Senator Forrest said that he had re- ceived the following telegram from Ft. Davis, dated Sept ?.
 Gan you give any information about recent Occurances at the Mcintosh Company mine? Has there been any violence there? Can you furnish me with the address of the manager or other representative of the Mcintosh Company.
 McIver, Commanding
 Deputy Marshal Forrest replied as follows:
 Commanding officer, Ft. Davis:
 Have heard of no violence since Aug. l4th on Glacier creek. Saw Mcintosh today and from his conversation do not think he contemplates any overt act. Mcintosh is in Nome, but cannot give his exact address.
 w. +. Forrest, Chief Deputy,
 "We have heard of no violence, y said Chief Forrest, and know of none. The marshal's office has not been con- suited in any way, and if troops have gone out to Glacier it is without the knowledge or consent of this office, as we feel we are quite equal to meet any emergencies that may arise"
 About town little information coul l be gleaned further than that given above.

In 1897, when the Colfax, Wash, jail was raided and a lynching followed, Mcdonald was shot at through the bars, and he dropped and simulated death so well that the gigilantes passed him up as dead.

The Largest Ever Found in
 This Section.
ON AHvIL FRACTION
Between Discovery Claim and No. I Above, the Place Where It Was Found, on the West Bank of the Creek-A Rich Piece of Ground.

The largest nugget ever found in this section of Alaska was uncovered yesterday about noon on fraction be- tween discovery claim on Anvil creek and No. l below. The nugget was almost immediately taken to discovery claim and weighed. It was found to be worth $1Ol.
 The fraction, which is the shape of a flat iron, is owned by the Pioneer Min ing Co. At the west side of Anvil the strip is 50 feet wide, and it narrows down to rather sharp point on the east side, or towards Anvil mountain. The nugget, however, was not found on the east side, where the best pay is found on the creek, but on the west side. The fraction has already yielded q large amount of dust, last Wednes- days cleanup having, it is said, amount ed to S., 00O
 A miner who came in from Anvil this morning says that the nugget weighs nearly four pounds. It is about i've inches long and two and half inches wide and contains some quartz. The lump Wa, picked up in sluice box after the water was turned off.
 The fraction is known as the Jarvis and Bourne fraction, but was recently bought by the Pioneer Mining Co.

Judge WiCkersham Likely to
 Come to Nome.
THE CONTEMPT CASE
Against Judge Moves Likely to Oc- cupy Moves Attention for Some Time to Come-Not Likely That lie Will Escape the Circuit Court.

As the month of October draws nigh, interest in the contempt proceedings against Judge Moves, instituted by order of the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit, increases.
 The case is set for October IA, and a number of prominent Nome citizens have been subpOnaed as witnesses. Although there are some who do not believe that Judge Moves will be con- yicted of contempt, the consensus of opinion among the great majority of the people of Nome, including the at torneys, is that he will not escape the wrath of the circuit court. Many people count upon the influence which it is claimed will be exerted in Judge Moves favor by such men as Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota and Senator Ham, of One, coupled with the alleged predelictions of Attorney General Knox in favor of Moves. The attorney general is quoted as saying that the people of Nome ''dodn't know what they want, anyway" This state ment may be far-fetched, but there is no use denying the fact that strong in huences are at work for the retention ef Judge Moves.
 What influence the action taken by a great ma jority of the bar of Nome in asking for the dismissal of the judge of this district, and the petition signed by 4,O00 citizens asking the same thing, may have, is not known. It is not believed however, that the attor- neys and the people, whOhave stated their case by petition, will be turned down and that Judge Moves will be permitted to resume his seat on the bench of this judicial district.
 In the meantime, while Judge Moves friends and supporters on the outside are doing all they can to save him, those who are opposed to him are not inactive. Private letters received by the last mail contain the news, which after all is not news, that Senator .SpoOner, of Wisconsin,, and Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, are actively en- gagged in the fight against Moves. Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, is also against him, and it is figured that, with both senators from Minnesota, his home state, against him, Judge Moves stands but little. show of ever again warming his old seat in the Nome court house.
 Anent the Nome mining scandals, it is stated that an agent of the secret service was in Nome for several weeks past inquiring into all sides of the matter. This agent left on one of the recent steamers and his report. which it.is presumed will cover all sides, may soon be expected to. be placed in the hands of the department of justice.
 It is believed in many quarters that Judge James Wickersham, of the third judicial division, will undoubtedly be sent here to take Judge Moves place, temporarily, at least.
 On the other hand, a federal official stated few days ago that Judge Noyes' successor had been chosen two months ago; that he was thew man. and an able lawyer. The statement is here given for what it is worth.
