Grand Jury Indicts One
 of their Number.
A COUNCIL CITY MAM
For Compromising a Crime Judge Gordon Also IndiCted.=PrO.
 ceedingS this Morning.

The grand jury yesterday afternoon presented the unusual, not to say unique spectacle of indicting one of its own members. The man indicted is w. R. Hart, a resident of Council City, where he is known as "Chop House Bill'' Hart. The charge against Hart is for compromising a crime. The jury also indicted on the same charge Harry C. Gordon. United States Commissioner and recorder for Council precinct Judge Gordon, who is in town, immed- lately gave bail, the bonds being fixed at Sl2OO, with F. F. Daggett. Sam Asheim, F. s. Lang, J. J. Cole and H. G. Steel as sureties.
 The charge upon which the grand jury based "a true bill" against Hart grew out of the arrest of F.. F. Sim monds. known as "Slim the barber,' ' who was arrested on complaint of Hart for obtaining money under false pre- tenses, the money obtained being q gambling debt. Simmonds secured the debt by giving bill of sale of prop erty and Hart failed to prosecute. Simmonds subsequently sold the prop erty to another party. Judge Gordon is indicted on the same charge, in that he permitted the case to be settled out of court. Judge Gordon was appointed to his present position last September. Previously he had been for two years or so, chief deputy in the office of the clerk of the court, and he practically organized the office. He was also for a

 Late Saturday afternoon the "'"rEd ury returned indictments against Dep- uty Marshals D. w. Simmons and Ramsdell of Council, who are charged with assaulting John McNally, q pris- oner in the Council jail. Deputy Mar shal GriggS was sent to Council after Ramsdell, Mr. Simmons being in Nome. The latter gave bail in &lj0O, with the following Council City business men as sureties: R. NJ. Morrison, CLaS. Lubbe, R. Irvine Coe Leach.
 Simmons was arraigned in court this morning and through his attorneys, Ira D. Orton and Geo. D. Schotield, entered a plea of not guilty; the attorneys also entered objections to John McGinn as acting district attorney, and they also attacked the indictment, all their ob- jections being overruled.
 ''Do you want us to change the whole procedure of this country the court asked Attorney Schotield.
 No, your honor," said Scholield, i've don't wish to legislate.
 The grand jury is still at work, but it is not known when they will make another report probably not before to morrow.

GOOD FOR
 ALASKA Amendments Made to
 Civil Code OF SOME WORTN
All License Moneys Collected in Incorporated Towns to Be
 Used Where Collected.

The City of Nome.may now rank as an incorporated town in fact as well as in name. Largely through the instrn- mentality of District Attorney Melvin Griesby law was passed at the late session of congress which confer, some real powers upon the council, and gives that body some opportunity to perform something tangible. The bill, which was approved by the president on March ? is entitled: "An act amending the civil code of Alaska, providing for the organization of private corpora tions and for other purposes.' All of the license moneys collected by the United States are to be used by the city for school and municipal purposes.
 The salient points of the new law. 70 far as they relate to incorporated towns are as follow: The council may provi e for the necessary street improvement :, sidewalks, croe-wallls, and Sewcrag, . the cost to be paid by asoesSmcn. a q levy against abutiing property, on rt- tition of ma joriiy of the propc ty holders.

Judge Moves Will Ar-
 rive This Spring.
WORK FOR ALASKh
Accomplished By Colonel Grigsby and J. ". lyey, Formerly
 Customs Collector.

According to a letter dated March ! received by C. A. Mitchell, from John T. Reed. formerly deputy clerk of the court of this division, Judge Arthur H.. Moves and Mrs. Moves will visit Nome this spring. Judge Moves, his wife and mother were spending the winter at the south. Mr. Reed had received a letter from the judge containing the above information. The purpose of Judge Noyes' visit was not stated.
 Mir. Reed was at Melrose, Mass, with his family, but he spent considerable time in Washington, D. C. during the winter. He also will arrive in Nome on one of the early steamers. He speaks in the highest terms of the work done in congress by Col. Melvin Grigs- by and J. w. Ivey. former collector of customs. ''They worked,' he says. against great odds and whatever legis ation has been gotten through congress for Alaska is to be credited to them and no one else. Both worked earnestly, early and late for Alaska, and too much credit cannot be given them.'
 Attorney r. F.. Fuller was also in Washington last winter.
 Speaking of the charge made against Marsha Richards, Mr Reed says: "The marshal need not worry for fear of removal, he is all right with the de- partment at Washington"

A QUESTION,
WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE DRUG.
 CYST E. G. FOWLER
If He Would Guarantee to Restore
 You to Health and StrengthP

It seems as though any person who is in i'll health, all run down, without strength and ambition enough to hardly get around, would give MT. Fowler or anyone. all they possess in the world for guaranteed cure.
 Such a guarantee MT. Fowler offers to every such person in this city. without any such sacrifice.
 'I hereby guarantee that my famous cod diver oil preparation, Vinol, will re- store to health pale and ailing women and children. build up the rundown, overwork- ed and debilitated. give strength to tired. weak mothers. invigorate old people, cure hanging-on colds and hacking coughs, bronchitis and stomach troubles. restore strength and make rich, red blood for the convalescent. create appetite and cure nervousness and irritabillty.
 If there should be any case of faAuIre. I agree to refund the money for the Vinol taken. Is there any ailing person in Mont gomery who is not willing to accept my generous proposition?"
 When asked how he could do this by a reporter of The Advertiser, MT. Fowler replied: 'It is because know so we'll of what Vinol is made and have seen such wonderful results from it's use, that am willing to back it with all have"
 You see Vinol contains every one of the active, curative principles contained in cod liver oil but without a d-op of grease to retard it's work; it is a scientific rebuilder and strength creator, and will in marvellous manner restore the sick to health and make life worth living. E. G. Fowler Druggist
 We believe MT Fowler's offer to be gen. erous and sincere, and would advise any of our readers who need such a medicine to try Vinol on his guarantee.-Editor.

Houghton of the Board of Revenue asked County Attorney John c. Finley if there is no law against this replied that there was none to his knowl- edge. but he would look thoroughly into the law on the subject, if he was given tion of awarding the fund was postponed until the next regular meeting of the Board.
 Tha effect of this combination is that, whereas the county formerly had or to pay a small per cent on the dollar as called for by the script, under the com bination all of the fund would have to go for practically the face value of the script, with the exception of 500, which would go to MT. Gilmer.
