BIRTHDAY PARTY
 ON FLAT GREEK

Monday, October l6, being the birth day of Miss Lucia Ives, the occasion was celebrated by grand birthday party, given at Luella's home on Flat creek. Among the many good things provided for the guests, who comprised the whole juvenile population of the creek, was real cows milk-an almost unheard-of luxury for these parts. In addition there was magnificent birth day cake; and Lucia having reached the strenuous age of six, the cake con- veyed that information, together with her name and the date of her birth. The cake was illuminated by six can dies.
 The following young ladies and gen. tlemen were present: Ella Mcdowell. Marguerite Harbin, Dorothy Harbin, Esther Strandberg, Sydney Harbin, Herbert Strandberg, Herbert Lima fee, Ralph Crawford, Wharton Harbin, Arthur Strandberg, Harold Strandberg.
 No mothers were allowed to be pres ent, so the children enjoyed themselves greatly.
 The ladies who assisted Mrs. Ives were: Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Mckay. Miss Taylor and Miss Mading.

NEW MEMBERS
 TAKE OFFICE

The first business done after Mayor Barnes called the city council to order Wednesday night was administering the oath of office to the three newly elected members. Messrs. Auten, Wor, den and Wood stood up and took the obligation all together, after which the Iditarod city council was in regular session with a full board present for the first time in many weeks.
 The regular monthly bills were read and allowed and the clerks monthly report was read and filed. Applications for the position of city assessor were read from T. NJ. Dean and Walter G Hunsaker
 A warrant for $50 was ordered drawn in favor of the school board in order that necessary desks may be paid for and received from the N. c. Co.
 The ordinance providing for the levy and collection of taxes was read for the thiId time and the meeting adjourned to meet Friday night, so that the new members might have time tostudy more fully the provisions of that instrument and familiarize themselves with other matters pressing for disposition by the council

NEW COMET SEEN
 IN EASTERN SKY

Thursday morning at 3 o'clock comet was observed in the heavens | little north of east from Iditarod.
 The celestial wanderer was one of the most brilliant and beautiful of its kind, with magnificent tail elevated at an angle and pointed in direction that gave local observers an impress sion that Ruby City was receiving a derisive and undignifed challenge Of course that was merely an illusion, for the merest tyrO in astronomy under stands that the comet was a long way off and presented just as comely front to Ruby as to our own favored locality.
 The comets appearance was unher- aided. The honor of it's discovery is claimed by Jim Brown. He is on the night shift at the Caribou Restaurant and it is a habit of his to step out of the back door after business quiets down and thoughtfully survey the fir mament. This time he saw at once the new object in the sky and knew his title to it was even better than Halley'S was to the comet which played an over-advertised but very tame en- gagement couple ot years ago.
 A few others saw the comet, but un- fortunately the sky became overclouded so that most people have not been able 10 lake A look at if althOnrb it v,nc visible few moments this morning.

MESSING HORSES
 ARE RECOVERED

During the early part of the sum mer three horses. the property of John Teasack of Flat City, es- caped from the barn and took to the hills. The proprietor offered reward of $25u for their recapture ($loo for the black mare and $50 for the other two); but although search was mad, the animals could not be located and were given up for lost.
 Early last week, Jim Lewis, Tom Shallow and Bill Lewis found the animals on the divide between the head of Moore and the head of Otter, and succeeded ill getting the mare to the Summit roadhouse last Saturday night For this capture they have received the reward of SIoo.
 When recovered the mare was in exceedingly poor condition, due, no doubt to long exposure ard the attacks oi mosquitoes, etc. Care ful attention since has greatly i'm proved her appearance and she will soon be all right again.
 Herbert Riley reports that his party sighted the horses over in the Ditna, and they drove them over to the locality where they were eventually found.
 The horses were brought into the country by NIT. Teasack ard were sent overland from Dikeman 10 Flat, with the cattle that were shipped in upon the opening of navigation.

LAUNCH SKWENTNA DID NOT SAIL

The launch Skwentna, advertised to leave for St. Michael Tuesday, October IT, did not depart. It appears that no- body wanted the job of engineering the craft this late in the season.
 Nothing pertaining to the river al this point indicates that the voyage would have been hazardous; but the opinion seems to be gaining as the years pass by that it is best to close navigation when the right time comes, regardless of the vagaries of weather.

JEWISH COMMUNITY
 HAVE BIG BANQUET

Last Sunday at 8 D. m. a bakers dozen of Mosaic followers and one prominent invited guest gathered at the unique and cozy dwelling of Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe, on Third avenue, to celebrate the event of the Tabernacle
 The decorations of the interior were d positive dream well-illumined chan deliers in the cente., peppered with miners candlesticks stuck in the walls around the rooms, suitably dressed with flowers and fruit. The main attraction was the large dining table covered with snow-white linen. Propitiously en- graved cards, reading in German Bette zitchen zie zich," were at each plate. Last, but not least, the real issue-the big feed, from soup to nuts food fit for king. The beverages, in large variety, consisted of the ''sing- ing" kind, for there is no song in the Worlds Almanac that was not sung. When the song of farewell was reached it was voted that the spread provided by the hostess, Mrs. Wolfe, was the grandest, as well as the greatest, ever participated in by those present, and will long be remembered.
 Those present were: Messrs. Bayles. Roden, Applebaum, Krom, Boas, Brom- berg, Rome, Hanauer, Wollman. Vile, Wolfe, Victor Wolfe, Mrs. Wolfe and Miss Wolfe.

WOMAN IS F0ULLY
 MURDERED
Concluded from Page l

John Nelson, the messenger, depOsed to having delivered some beer to Mary Thomson on Wednesday evening. At that time a white man was present with deceased, They appeared to be talking about mining matters; but witness was not quite sure regarding the appearance of the man, nor could he remember ever having seen him before. He described the finding of the body, with q pillow over the head Dr. Wortmann said he was called to the house on Thursday evening" He described the position in which he found the body, and expressed the opinion that death had taken place between F and 24 hours previous to his visit. He found that shoe e-strng had been tied tightly around the woman's neck, and also a towel. The shoe-string was sufficient to cause death; it was buried about a quarter of an inch in the flesh. There was also a wound on the left cheek. No other marks were found on the body. It was | not possible to tell whether there had been a struggle or not, as in any G S , the muscles would have rel lxeG Death was undoubtedly due to strangu- lation by means of the shoe-lace.
 Wada, the Japanese, said that the deceased had relatives in Seattle, and that a Japanese named George Makuda a resident of Flat City, brought her to Iditarod.
 Makuda, who arrived in Iditarod at this junctnre, denied that he knew the deceased very we'll, although admitting 1 that he had accompanied her and ot her Japanese girls from Seattle to the Idit- arod He claims to be restaurant man and woodchopper.
 After a short deliberation, the jury returned the following verdict:
 We, the undersigned, being duly sworn as jurors in the case, after hear ing the evidence and viewing the party Mary Thomson, deceased, have agreed upon verdict of death by strangulation, at the hand or hands of some person or persons unknown"

South River, Oct. 26.-Rnt very
little progress was made by the man
ayers In charge of County Basket
ball League in special session in Bor-

The meeting was scheduled for to-
night, but called last night to ena-

The controversy between the Good
wills and Riyersides, Of Perth AM
boy, and the Purftans, OF the anne
city, as to who will enter the county
league as representatives of Perth
Amboy, is still unsettled, but def
mite action may be taken at the next

Joseph Crabiel, OF the Midtown
Creseents, proposed about the only
solution of the problem. He moved
that the three managers interested
should draw up their opinions and
submit same to a committee of one,
appointed by the chairman, who
would be empowered to secure a
written vote of every member In the
league. IL the Puritans receive a
majority vote, they will be admit

sides will retire. The motion was
adopted and Mr.. Crabiel was APP
pointed OF the committee to handle
