SHOOTS UP
 THE TOWN Fort Davis Soldier Goes
 on Rampage
Secures Winchester Repeating Shot Gun and Makes Target of a Citizens BedrOOm.-.OCCu. pants Anger Aroused

A soldier named Alex. Thompson came to Nome on Saturday afternoon last from Fort Davis, and after prac- ticing at the bar of few of the down town resorts, became imbued with the idea that he was a professional sharpshooters. With this idea pre- dominant in his mind, he borrowed a Winchester repeating shotgun and went down on the dcn to practice shooting at the gulls, but instead of directing his aim towards Boring sea, he pointed the muzzle of his gun at the Green Tree hotel and pulled the trigger two or three times.
 It so happened that Charles Me Kay was in his room reading copy of the Nome News at the time, and if there is any one thing that Mckay dsies more than another, that thing is to have somebody projecting buck shot against the wall of the room he occupies. It detracts his attention from the matter in hand, and makes him nervous and irritable besides; so, finally losing his temper, he walked out to where the soldier was doing his target practice and gave the son of Mars swift punch on the point of the chin. Then he took the gun away from him and marched him down the street until he met Officer Harris, who saved further trouble by taking the soldier to the city calaboose.
 Yesterday morning the prisoner was released and turned over to Cap tain Giddings of Fort Davis for trial by the military authorities

STRONG MAN B
 FOR DELEGATE

In another column appears the card of w. II. Bard, announcing himself as d candidate on the Republican ticket for delegate to congress. Mir. Bard is d well known Alaskan, and no more faithful and painstaking congressional representative could be selected to pro tect our interests and secure much needed legislation for Alaska. The Republicans of this section should unite on Mir. Bard as their standard bearer and see to it that his nomina- ton is secured at Juneau. The Demo- cratic party also could not do better than place their interests in his hands, because as good Alaskans they cannot fail to realize that a member of the dominant party at Washington can accomplish more for the good of Alaska than could any candidate of their faith. Moreover, Mr Bard is strong advo- cate O territorial government, and the enacting of laws that will protect and encourage the honest miner. Let both parties on Seward peninsula unite on Mir Bard, and we are satisfied they will never have cause to regret their action.

The city council at their regular meeting last evening, showed dis position to manifest economy of the most rigid character Outside of the receiving of bids on various proposi- lions. little business was transacted, and it was in taking action upon the tender for feeding the city prisoners that the city fathers showed their genius in financial matters. N. Obrad- oyitch offered to furnish the meals at 50 cents if called for, and 40 cents if eaten at the place of business. R. l.. Rice offered to supply the meals on the and 39 cents. respectively. After about half an hours discussion, during which the quality of the food was never men toned, the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder.
 The council then engaged in a sort of spring clearing sale, in which a gen eral slaughter of prices took place. The poor old Moses fire engine, which cost the city about $25OO, was knocked down to the highest bidder, at $l51.
 But it was in the discussion of the bids to purchase the Bridge school house that the councilmen and bidders manifested the truth of the old saw that "every man is horse-trader at heart" George B. Campbell bid $1,016, but wanted a clear title to the prop erty, the next highest bidders being J. $, Mcintosh and William Elliott, who each tendered $975, with no ques- tions asked City Attorney Schofield figured out that one of the townsite trustees deeds to the property would cost $22.5 The councilmen stared ab- sently upwards and movements of the lips and tapping of one finger after another on the table showed that they
