Bernard kept by John Nichols, a
wealthy Italian, and drawing a long
knife, fearlessly demanded money.
Nichols, who was serving drinks,
jumped back out of Albino's reach,
grasped his revolver and COM
manded Albino to drop the knife.
Albino, instead of covering be-
fore the threatening pistol which
Nichols pointed at his head, tried
to leap over the bar to get at
Nichols. When half way over sew

him and fell in a struggling mass
of humanity to the floor, where a
fight was in progress when the Of

Albino fought desperately and

BIG STRIKE ON
At NOME |

SEATTLE, Nov. 11.--Information
that a strike of considerable i'm
portance has been made within a
few miles of Nome City since the

The message conveys the intelli-
gence that the strike was made
somewhere between Irene creek
and Cunningham creek, but it's ex-
act location is not mentioned.
Nome people who are now in Sc
attic believe. however, that the
pay is a continuation of the streak
found on the Lakeview claim and
the other one or two properties in
that vicinity.
