BRUTALLY ASSAULTED
Miss Lena Lochke Weknown Young Lady Fairbanks Roughly Handled by Unknown Citizens Offer

Fairbanks, Dec. 27.-The rewards for the capture of the assaant of Miss Lena Lochke, who choked and roughly handled by Garden island, the even ing of December IT, reaches nearly 7o0 and may be taken indication of the general indignation of c Federal and municipal officers say they have scarcely thing to work and while the incentive for energetic endeavor grows the possibility of arrest appears more remote now than earlier.

Barney Makes Second Confession

is probable that he will bring the Rockwells on to Panama. The man and wife are jointly charged with murder. It may be that at the preliminary hearing which will be had after their arrival here the charge against Mrs. Rockwell will be reduced aud her bond fixed at comparatively small figure.
 It is current talk that outside the confession Cor statemenD of Barney there is very strong evidence of the criminal connection ot Rockwell with the bloody deeds of Barney; aud it is improbable that he will be released on bail.
 Arthur E. Barney, the self con. fessed perpetrator of the bloody crimes of the early morning of De- cember 16, maintains cheerful de- meanor. When taken to the con- missioner's office for preliminary hearing oil the charge of shooting Chanquist, Tuesday afternoon, he was morose and possessed surly look, hut the mood soon passed and his usual good nature asserted itself.

 TREE WAS
 A BEAUTY

Rev. MT. Peabody had concluded the religious services at St. James chapel, and the children, who were seated nearest it. were intently watching the beautiful Christmas tree, when. at near } o'clock Christmas Eve, chatter, a jingling of bells and a succession of "Whoa-whoa's" were heard outside the door. \ moment later Santa him. self entered, clad in his warmest furs and his bewhiskered face covered with snow and ice. Greeting Mir. Peabody, he told the children briefly of his adventures in the polar regions and in the deer snows of the Koyukuk, after which he distributed presents with a lavish hand. It was a happy time for the little folk.
 When it was all over some of the older and wiser recipients of Santa's favors declared he was only MT. Strang- man, of the Mission. They subjected the story of his travels to as critical a research as the scientists have recently done to the data of Dr. Cook. They found errors of geography and confu- sion of dates-and had their doubts The majority, however, were true to tradition and to their sense of grati- tude, and heartily wished their good old friend safe return to his home at the North Pole.

Felix Boucher and George List, bound from the Iditarod to Fair banks. arrived in Panama last Sun day. They bucked the storm from the Old Station, I6 miles.
 They left the Idltarod Dec. 7. 4 that time several Iditarod stam- peders to Black river, oil the Kus- kokwim side, had returned and re- ported the alleged: find on Black river fake. The stampede had been of considerable proportions, but there was nothing found what ever.
 Regarding the food supply in the lditarod, Mir. Boucher said it is by no means certain that there will not be all actual shortage of flour and beans, but there is plenty of fresl, meat for those who have money to buy it. There are a good many people ill the region who have but little money. Fish are taken in abundance, and birds are plenty, which is boon to the peo- pie.

WANT DONOVAN
 /. TO. REMAIN HERE

Last Friday petition was circulated and signed by nearly every one to whom it was presented, urging United States Marshal H. K. Love to assign Capt. John J. Donovan to Tanaua as permanent deputy marshal. Marshal Love was notified by wire of the sub stance of the petition, and was request ed to hold in abeyance the matter of assigning deputy until he could be communicated with by mail.
 In the month that Captain Donovan has filled the position of deputy mar shal at Panama he has been confronted by conditions that would have tested the capacity of any man, but has proven himself equal to every emergency. His action has been firm, intelligent and efficient. The petition is a testimonial of the peoples confidence in him.
 Just prior to the circulation of the petition, however, it became rumored around town that Marshal Love con- templated the appointment of William Coruing to the Tanana .deputyship. People who know Mir. Corning and thoroughly understand the situation at Tanana were outspoken in the opinion that such an appointment would be un- wise and unsatisfactory to large number of citizens; and that may have had something to do with hurrying up action on the matter.
 From the Fairbanks Times it is now learned that Mir. Corning was actually rendered the place and was to have been sworn in Dec. g. From private sources, however, it has be- come known in Tanana that he finally declined to qualify.
 Apparently, therefore, there remains nothing in the way of Marshal Love granting the request of the Panama petitioners except the claims of the Koyukuk district, where Captain Don- ovan's official allegiance ct present is and where he is very popular.

HOLIDAY D0|NCS
 AT C|BBON POST

The Christmas program arranged by the Fort Gibbou Social Club for the enlisted men of the post proved to be one of the most successful features ever given by the club. The vaudeville features were exceptionally good and well presented. The Christmas tree was we'll laden with laughter-provoking gifts which kept everybody in con- stant uproar. The smoker and stag dance formed suitable climax for the evening. The president of the club. Sergeant Kinzer of the hospital corps, read hearty endorsement of the work of the club by the commanding officer, which was greatly appreciated by the club members. .~. s:.
 The social committee has planned progressive whist party and smoker for New Years night, the regular meeting night. It will be the largest affair of the kind ever given in Fort Gibbon. :~-.:.. .. =-.: "~
 The Christmas celebration given by the signal corps was an event long to be remembered. Captain Cunningham and the members of the social commit tee having the matter in charge spared no pains to make this feature the pro- nounced success that it was. The din ner was most elaborate and was shared by number of invited guests, includ- ing the non-commissioned staff and their families. A reception followed the dinner, which was participated in by the officers of the post and the town people.
 All the organizations in the post vied with each other in their Christmas decorations and the dining rooms were most attractive. The commanding of- ficer, staff. and the ladies of the post : made a tour of inspection and were delighted.
 At the Christmas celebration given by the Fort Gibbon Social Club last week Secretary Reid, in behalf of the club, the officers of the post and the people of Tanana, presented Sergeant Kinzer of the hospital corps with the piano purchased to replace the instru- ment lost by the latter in the recent post fire. The proceeds of the last dramatic entertainment were devoted to this purpose and with the amount previously subscribed served to make the final payment. Sergeant Kinzer responded in 8 most feeling way. The instrument has been at the disposal of the post people on every occasion when piano could be used and has been ot great help to the men in the stag dances.
