An Ancient Bet

Near the ancient country seat OF

stands quaint old church, to the door
of which are nailed four horse shoes.
These have been In their present po-
Isition for nearly 800 years. A former
member Of the Carew family made
wager with friend that he would ride
his horse a mile out to sea In Tor bay
and back again. The fact was more

He won the bet. however, and nailed
the four horse shoes Of his steed to
the church door to commemorate the

REX BEACH IS

A number of people who claim to b.
 in position to know state hat Rex Beach is the nom de plume for tn writer, David King, who used 10 d newspaper work here in Nome, ana many of the old timers can remember the time when he was associated with 'Pop' Hart ison and Po"cy Parkinson. The story is told that Dave King has a house on an island in Puget sound where he is living the life of a reclus- and writing stories for Rex Beach who takes the glory, and Dave q certain per cent of the money.
 Of the two men-as they were well known here in Nome-many can easily believe that David King instead of Rex Beach is writing the Alaska stories, for the former was & writer of DO mean ability while here in Nome, and Rex was hale fellow well met who could give 'buck and wing dInce" and help entertain. But as writer, miner or being successful in any pursuit of his career here in Nome, Rex Beach came under the head of failures. = Nome Nugget.
