A noticeable feature this season has
beer the increased number Of persons who
have climbed without taking the most
elementary precautions. The worst acct

caused the deaths OF the four Englishmen

most sensational climbs were two ascents

the greater part OF two days, and the
vessel shipped water freely. When the
storm finally subsided there was fine
weather for few days, and then
another Of only a trifie less fury came
up. The sails had all been taken down
and no damage resulted. The officers
explain that while they were In the
storm center of the Horn there were
n number OF hard blows sufficient to
test the best scamanship.

LIBEL CASE

lar saloon. The crusade against dance
halls and variety shows was instituted
to prevent the roaming about the
streets of women OF the class frequent
ing dance halls.
Editorial matter from copy of the
Gold Digger OF May 25. tending to show
what the outlined policy of the paper
had been, was offered in evidence by
the prosecution and strenuOusly object
ed to by the defense. This led to con-
siderable argument by legal represen-
tatives which resulted in a ruling by
the Judge in favor of the admission OF
the evidence.
The article referred to was an edit0-
rial bearing upon the presence Of
women in saloons and places of kindred
nature.
In answer to a question as to whether
or not he remembered q conversation
with A. L. Smith in the wine room Of
the Hunter saloon, in which he, the
defendant, had said that the Monte
Carlo must be prevented from getting
q license, Mr.. Warren said that he did
not recall such conversation. He
thought the Monte Carlo had not been
mentioned. He had never told Mr..
D'Hierry, who is at present engaged as
writer on the Gold Digger, to write
the article submitted in evidence.
A file of the paper was produced, and
various articles, mostly Of an editorial
nature. were offered, as exhibits, tend
ing to show the policy Of the paper pri-
or to the publication OF the alleged IL
belous nature. The witness admitted

The Arguments.

Attorney Bell, for the prosecution,
cited several authorities, and argued
that the evidence going to show that
the paper had opposed the issuance Of
licenses to dance halls and saloons, also
showed that defendent was responsible
for the publication of the alleged libel
Gus article, inasmuch as he had read all
other preceding matter in pursuance of
the papers policy.
Attorney j. L. McGinn, for the de-
tense, based his argument upon the
fact that Mr.. Warren had exercised
diligence to see that libelOus matter
should be kept out of the paper.
Acting District Attorney Grigsby fol-
lowed. He dwelt on the fact that a
new man had been at the desk of the
Gold Digger at the time of the publ
cation of the article against Mr.. Pelz,
and propounded the theory that due
diligence had not been exercised on the
part of defendant, and contended that

THE DANISH
BANQUET
Held Sunday Night in Hunter Hall
Was a Distinguished
Success.

The first Danske grundlovs-banquet,
which being interpreted, means the
first banquet given in Nome. celebrat-
ing the enlargement Of the freedom
and liberties of the people of Denmark,
was given Sunday night At Hunter hall.
Billy Moore, of the Maple Leaf restau-
rant, was the caterer and it goes with
out saying the menu was an excellent
one.
Covers were laid for 40 guests. The
hall was tastefully draped with the
American, Danish, Norwegian and
Swedish flags, while small American
and Danish flags were at the plate of
each guest. The menu cards were
printed in Danish as follows:

After ample justice had been done to

Hanson paid deserved tribute to the
Danish people, the progress they have
made in every field, and their patriot
ism and love of liberty. G. j. Lomen's
speech on "BrOther-folk" was eloquent
in every way. Mr.. Petersen, who
spoke in Danish, after few introduce
tory remarks in American, made
scholarly address, in which he detailed
the growth of liberty and freedom in
the mother country. Judge Reed spoke
of Alaska and the districts great posi-
bilities, and his speech was both
humorous and serious. Chris Christen-
sen made his maiden speech in response
to the toast, THE Ladies'" and he
made decided hit. Toasts were also
drunk to the president of the United
States. King Christian, of Denmark,
while numerous other tOasts were drunk
to the health of different members Of
the banquet party. The affair was in
every way great success, and the COM
