He found the trails xceedingly bad. especially on Fish river, which is breaking up, and he was compelled to take to the tundra across country, the tundra, too, being difficult of travel.

A QUESTION
 OF VERACITY
Police Officer Gaffney Denies That He Assaulted and Bruised
 Drunken Han.

Police Officer Ihos. Gatfney emphat- ically denies the statements made in the columns of contemporary, to the effect that carly Tuesday morning he assaulted man whom he had arrested for being drunk. Early in the evening he met this man on the street; he was boisterous and Gatfney told him he had better go home. The man moved on and when few yards away began to abuse the officer. Gatfney saw no more of him until after o'clock. when the same man came along with another; they were falling along together" says Ga1fney and using vile and bolster ous language. He stopped them and asked them why they didn't go home; one of them replied that it was none of his d-d business. Gatfney took hold of one when the other interfered. The arrested man threw himself on the sidewalk and Gatlney blew his whistle. Officer James appeared and both men were taken to the city jail. Yesterday morning they paid fine of 8 each.
 Gaiiney distinctly denies that he mal- treated the smaller man Tn any way.
