GAMBLE
 ON FLAT OK.
Ed. Grider Returning From There
 Says Place is a Live One.

Flat creek is the livelest district in Alaska at present, says Ed. Grider, the old Tananaite who returned this week from the Iditarod.
 Gambling fourishes there, he says. Black jack, stud poker and draw poker are played. There was gambling, too, in Iditarod City last summer, but it has since died out, he declares
 Iditarod City is dead; in fact Tanana is much livelier at present than the new camp. The place is said to look like mining town in its decadence, with many shacks and places empty-many of the men having gone over to the kuskok- vim.
 Grider says gold has been struck on Ruby. creek in the Kuskokwim. Cy Mo- ble returned from there recently, telling that he had seen 40, 50 and 6Oc pans.
 On Flat money is plentiful. Team sters get $50 day. Bacon, ham, butter and even beans are short.
 Ed says many old Rampant men are in on the Flat creek strike-Jimmy Law renee, John Layne, Frank Stevens and others.
 Geo. Friend of Fairbanks, and Frank Lawson will take out big money next spring on Flat. They are moving out two plants and have 2,5OO cords of wood landed on their ground.
 Grider has interests in claims on the Flat creek rims. He says he saw the Yukon Valley News all along the line from Flat to Tanana, and everybody is pleased with the paper.
 He expects To return to the new camp after New Years.

AGAIN JAILED
 FOR INSANITY
Robert Mitchell, Declared Sane, Re.
 arrested on Account Actions.

Robert Mitchell, aged 29, Scotsman, the post civilian who escaped from the hospital recently yelling "fre! murderr' and who later escaped from the jail, was declared sane in Judge Gallaher's court last Saturday.
 Dr. Harris testified Mitchell had re- covered although he was very weak and needed care. He added that many of the mans peculiarities, taken as signs of insanity, were merely racial mannerisms.
 Sergt. Kinzer, Marshal Robinson and Jailer Shade were the other witnesses.
 Mitchell, while in jail, attempted to drink some I've. He also wrote several letters to Dr. Harris. In one he said, 'I am with you; long live the United States!' At this time he imagined they suspected him of being spy.
 Since his release the man has again been acting queerly. He wanted to hire a special dog team to go to Fairbanks. Wednesday he attempted to send seven telegrams-one each to Col. Roosevelt, the pope of Rome, the king of England, and other noteworthies. In each he ask ed "What must I do?"
 The jurors who decided the case were Jules Marion, Theo. Diederick, John Kehoe, John Wolf, Thomas Yates and Ben Fredrickson.
 Mitchell has been re-arrested and will probably be declared insane this time.

MEN FOUND
 AT KALTAC
Lobosky and CouIombe Are Safe
 and SOund-Beached Launch.

Michael Loboske and Peter Coulombe, the men who it was feared were drown ed in the Yukon just before the freeze up, are safe at Kaltag.
 Word to this effect was wired this week to the News by James Aitcheson, of Lawrence & Aitcheson.
 Mir. Aitcheson says the men arrived at Kaltag Oct. 10. They were en route up the Yukon from the Iditarod to Grant creek. The ice was running so thick they were forced to pull their launch out of the river 25 miles below Kaltag.
 Capt. Robson, the mail carrier, also brought word that the men were safe. The two will have the pleasure of read ing their own obituaries

confessed to taking the jewelry from Mabel Williams, a woman of the town, on the creeks at Fairbanks.
 Smith asserted he was drunk; but when the deputy accused him of being dope fiend, he admitted it.
 MT. Vautier says Smith belonged to the gang which formerly operated on the boats in Alaska. They were as tough as the old "Soapy'' Smith gang of Skagway.
 The prisoner was taken as far as Hot Springs by the deputy and there turned over to Deputy Murphy. Smith later settled with the woman and was re- leased. Mabel Williams is now in the Iditarod.

GOLD ROBBER
 CONFESSES
RinsIeader of Gang Just Indicted
 Arrested Here by Vautier.
Special to the News.

San Francisco, Dec 29-The men who stole the $53,O00 in gold shipped last summer from Fairbanks banks to Seat tie, from the steamship Humboldt, have been indicted by the grand jury; the ringleader, E. l.. Smith, alias Leahy alias Henry, whose real name is OrVille Cevencs, has confessed.
 Mrs. Henry, the girl who passed as his wife, the Woodson brothers, and Henry are the ones indicted.
 Henry, an old Alaskan gambler, con- fessed he was in Fairbanks last winter and spring, leaving with others implica- ted, with the gold. They were joined at Juneau and Ketchikan by still others of the gang.
 Henry claims he committed the deed while under the influence of opium. He says, while his alleged wife-Margaret Henry, an old dance hall girl of the north-firted with the purser on deck, he slipped into the purser's cabin and substituted lead for the gold.
 On the way down the river Cevenes came near being detained by the deputy marshal at Tanana, for stealing some iewelry from a Fairbanks woman named Williams.

XMAS FETE WAS
 A GREAT SUCCESS
(Continued from first page.)

The celebration was carried through without hitch. Mrs. J. Robinson de- serves great praise for the excellent work she did in suggesting and arranging the details of the fete.
 No less praise is also due the other la dies in Tanana and at the post for their assistance. Each woman worked faith fully and increasingly, and each must feel great satisfaction at the success of the event.
 Sergeant Major Roy appeared after the exercises, dressed as Santa Claus, and when he entered the door young and old alike clapped their hands in delight.
 Old Santa, with the aid of others, then distributed the gifts, Many remember ed their friends with presents, but no one went away without receiving pres ent of some kind.
 The A. B.'s showed their appreciation of Frank Smith, who always works heart and soul for the interests of the brother hood, by presenting him with a beauti- fnl watch charm.
 After the distribution of the gifts, dancing was indulged in, many going home with their gifts and returning later.
 Many of the woodchoppers and min CTS attended, attired in their everyday costumes, adding typical democratic aspect to the scene,
 A picturesque feature of the evening was the presence of band of natives from the reindeer station. They sat quietly in one corner watching the pro- ceedings with stoic but intent interest. Santa also remembered each of them.

QUESTION OF FEES
FINE LAW P DIN 7.
Compensation of Receivers in
Toxaway Case Argued in
Federal Court.

In the suit for receivers and coun-
sells fee against the Toxaway Company.
of North Carolina, which was argued
yesterday before the United states Cir
cult Court of Appeals, an intricate law
point is involved. and much interest
centres around the outcome.
The principal question Is what com
pensation should be allowed the receiv-
ers, r. b. Arlington and A. II Bur-
roughs, for their services and those of
counsel. When the receivership. of
only few days duration, was ended
a special master allowed the rdceivers
$1,50o and $4,000 for counsel. This
was set aside by the Circuit Court at
Asheyile, and the complainants were
assessed one-half of the fee allowed.
Named by Judge Pritchard.
The receivership was applied for be-
fore Judge Pritchard, at Ashevllle. and
Burroughs was named. Among other
things 1t was stipulated by the court
that motion could be made within five
days to have the order for receivership
set aside Shortly after the courts ap-
pointInent the defendant, through coun-
sell moved to dissolve the order At
this time counsel made tender in
open court to the receiver of the
amount claimed to be due and payable
upon outstanding bonds in the hands
DI Il trustee. 1IlS lelt only the QueS-
tion of the regularity of the appoint
ment of receivers in the first instance
and as 10 the amounts to be paid re-
ceiver and counsel,
Judge Pritchard transferred the case
10 Judge Conner. A special master
was appointed, who reported that re-
ceiver and counsel were entitled to
$4,000 for services rendered
When the matter came up for final
hearing Judge Conner held that the 4
receivers were properly appointed but
reduced the amounts of the special
master and refused counsel fee.
The ToHaway Company owns 10000
acres of valuable timber lands, on
which are located two magnificent ho-
tells, numerous cottages and other,
buildings. The property is valued at
about $500, 900.
Cause for the receivers was argued

Hard Work Required to Save Vessel
From Destruction.

Especial to The Dispa tchl
Warsaw, Va, December 16.-While
lying at Leedstown Wharf this morn
ing at o'clock the steamer Calvert.
of the Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
GINA Railway Company, under COM
mand of Captain Robert Hart, narrow
~ escaped being burned to the waters
edge. The fire, which had its origin in
the aft cabin, and was caused, 1t is
thought, by rats and matches. when
discovered by the Waterman had
gained such Roadway that II took
nearly two hours hard lighting to con-
quer the flames. At one time 1t looked
as if the steamer Would have to be
abandoned and only heroic efforts
saved the craft.
When the fire alarm was sounded
the passengers We're aroused from
their sleep, and they hurriedly left the
steamer, in many instances thinly clad.
The steamer was able to proceed on
schedule time on its trip to Balti-
more.
