IDITAROD BUNCH
MAY FORGET LAW

A party of Iditaroders started down
river yesterday afternoon for an outing
on the gasolene scow Mabel, with no
one to restrain their ardor except
Swanson, the master of the ship. The
people are carrying guns, and it is sus-
pected there is whisky aboard. Some
of them have been heard to say things
agin the Alaska game regulations
lately, and there is danger that the law
and one thing or another may be
broken if flock of ducks come along,
say, when the men are, for instance,
slightly inebriated. 1t is very wrong
to shoot ducks while under the influence
of liquor or while they are laying eggs
and plans for the summer. These men
are going where the arm of the law
cannot reach, for even if the aforesaid
arm were long enough it would need
a thousand elbows to follow them
around all the bends they intend to
negotiate in the Iditarod Innoko fats.
But nothing can be done further than
TO hold them up to the public scorn,
| So far as is knwn their names are a.
