A Disorderly Crowd Sees the Mayor.
Last Monday night too much
booze caused four young Colfax-
ians to get into a difficulty that
came very near being a serious
affair. One of them disturbed
the peace so much it became
necessary for the town marshal
to arrest him, but his compan-
ions would not stand for it. A
free for all fight, resulted, in
which a pistol was discharged,
and one or more pistols exhibit
ed. The marshal, however,
proved to be more than match
for the quartette, and after max
ing two or three pretty sore
heads and getting a few punches
himself, carried his prisoner to
the Lookup.
The result of the fracas was
that a couple of young men spent
the night in the calaboose. The
next day, after the parties had
become sober and reflected over
the seriousness of their offense,
all four of them went before
Mayor Long and plead guilty tt
disturbing the peace, and were
each fined $500 and costs. In
view of the near approach te
Christmas the mayor strained
point and was lenient in his sen
tence, more SO than the parties
had any right to to expect. ant
the gravity of the case really de
served. Light sentences as
rule do not beget wholesome
respect for the law, but we trus
in this case it will be sufficient tt
cause all hands to reform ant
start the New Year on the RICH
track.

DANGERS HAVE
 LOVELY TIME
SHRlNERS DANCE AMIDST
 SCENES OF IMPAIRMENT

A. F. Hall was the gayest place in Alaska last night. Under a canopy of multi -colored streamers and to the loveliest of music the perfectly sized company danced until the early hours of this morning.
 The hall reminded one of he good old days" when expense was the last thing taken into account and when all devoted themselves exclusively to the effort to make everyone else happy.
 The innovation of a scheme for se- lecting partners for the extras and grand march by shaking colossal dice on a Titanic horse shoe of fortune created much amusement. And when by a deep laid plot the ladies were separated from the men in the march by a swift working curtain a situa- tion was created that had never be- fore occurred. The refreshments were served by men dressed in Oriental cos tunes. A harem and many other fea- lures that suggested the mystic East added an unusual atmosphere while the very occidental abandon of the dancers themselves completed a per- feet time.
 The officers of the Shriner's Club are: R. B. Zehner president. John Helps president; R. W. Thomp- son secretary.
 The executive committee of dance: J. F. Plein, John Helps, Lloyd Scott, L. H. McCloy and Earl Hunt.
 The two last named deserve the credit for the splendid decorations.
 Another feature which added to the distinctiveness of the occasion was the wearing of white fezes by the wives of the Shriners. The gowns of the ladies generally were unusually bright and beautiful and aided in the com pletion of one of the prettiest scenes ever witnessed in the territory.
