"JlM" FISkE'S WIDOW DIES

BOSTON, Mass. Feb. 2S - The celebrated tragedy of 40 years ago, when James J. Fiske, Jr., was shot and killed in the Broadway Central hotel in New York by Edward s. Stokes, following a quarrel over the favor of Josie Mansfield, whom Stokes had wen away from Fiske, was recalled today by the death of Fiske's widow She was I6 years old, and died in the home of Fred E. Bowker in South Boston. Mrs. Fiske died almost in poverty. At the time of her husbands death at the height of his meteoric career in Wall street it was believed that she would get s2,OO0,00O from his estate, but lawsuits over the settle ment of the estate left her only enough to live in humble fashion. The Mansfield woman died in the West about year ago.

NEW MANAGERS RUNNING THE
 MODEL

On Thursday last the Model Cafe on Front street. was reopened under the management of Al Raynor and Charles Clemens. and since that time the popular establishment has been enjoying considerable share of the business of the camp These who for years had patronized the Model believing that there they were able to get the biggest and best meal for the money, are back in their accustomed seats and pre- sent indications tend to the belief that the cafe is to become more popular than ever.
 Messrs. Raynor & Clemens have had the place completely renovated. painting and paperhanging have been done throughout and the Model is very attractive in it's new suit.
 Both of the proprietors are we'll known in the camp as most capable caterers and there is little doubt the patronage of the cafe will con- tinue to grow under their manage ment

ROBBER BRU|N IS
 DUE TO GET HIS

On his homestead, six miles out on the Fox road, Rudolph Aim has bear in cold storage that he figures is destined to afford him some fine juicy steaks in the course of the next week or so. The bear, although he is still in full posses sion of his senses, has not been consulted, but he is in bad fiX-in a hole, in fact-and it is not likely Rudolph will be disappointed.
 This particular MT. Bruin cannot be said to have displayed any very good judgment in his selection of winter abiding place when he holed up on the Alm homestead, fer an offense he committed last fall entitled him to but short shrift at the hands of Rudolph the first time they should happen to meet. On that occasion, during the ab- sence of the proprietor, Bruin made descent upon Rudolph's cabin and tore things up generally, helping himself to everything edible he could find. Among the loot was a case of dried apples, and it was presum- ably only the lack of water on the place that saved his bearship from horrible death caused by excessive imitation.
 When the sun gets a little warm CT, in week or two, Bruin will un- doubtedly think it about time to be up and doing, and then will it be that Rudolph will demand a strict accounting for the outrage perpe- trated in his absence last fall

NEWSBOY SHAFT 323 FEET

The work Of cutting the third station in the Newsboy mine has been completed and the timbering will have been finished in a few days. In the meantime the sinking is being continued and a depth of 323 feet has now been attained.
 At the 215 foot level the drifts have been run for about one hun dred feet, fifty feet on each side In each tunnel the ledge is showing up fine, it being about 41a feet wide. On the Lucky Lad, or FL dorado side, this width has been maintained since it was tapped by the drift, while on the Cleary side considerable improvement in the appearance of the vein has been noted during the past week.

IRISH SELECTIONS
 WELL RECEIVED

The Auditorium was comfortably filled on Monday night on the oc- casion of the St Patricks day en- tertainment given under the direc- tion of Mrs. Caskey and Mrs. O. C. Williams. and from the generous applause accorded 10 the performers it could be judged that the efforts of all were thoroughly appreciated The program throughout was dis tinctly Irish in it's theme and it evidently struck a popular chord.
 Mrs. O. C. Villains has never be- fore been seen in Fairbanks 10 such good advantage as in the role of Mrs. Dugan, when she described the manner in which she had made six dozen lamp chimneys from a dozen empty champagne bottles. She had the audience in an uprcar before she had well started on her story and the laughter ended cnly with the curtain The performance was all the more remarkable because of the fact that she was suffering from a broken wrist sustained from fall earlier in the evening while she was acting the part of a servant girl in the playlet "Crazed" Few of the audience realized that the fall was other than intentional and when. after the entertainment was over, and it became known how badly she had been hurt, many ex- pressed surprise at the wonderful grit she had displayed

 In "Crazed" Mrs. Williams. H. C. Jackson and Walter Rowson took part. and each appeared to splendid advantage. Mr Jackson's makeup as the actor-playwright was irrest- ble, while MT.

 Mrs Caskey was generously ap- plauded for her singing of "Killar- ney," and Miss Dee Olsen made a distinct hit with Pretty Girl Milk ing Her Cow" Miss Ollsen also brought down the house with her dancing. with Dr McGinnis, of Irish dances

When a Scotsman answers a ques- ton he settles the matter in dispute once for all. On a certain occasion the question was asked: Why was Mary, Queen of Scots born at Lin lithgow?"
 Sandy Kerr promptly answered: : Because her mother was staying there," and there actually seemed to be nothing more to be said on the subject.
