EASTERN REPORT NOT
 FAIR TO SULZER

Maurice D. Leehey, the we'll known Seattle mining lawyer, who represent ed Gov. William Sulzer in the litiga- tion that resulted iIf a judgment being rendered against him for labor and supplies in connection with a Nome mining case, says the report published integrity of Sulzer on account of his connection with the litigation, does him an injustice. The only testimony he said, that would indicate any re- sponsibility on the part of Sulzer in connection with the claims against him upon which suit was brought was that he did not interrupt or deny the man. ager of the corporation that was oper- ating the properties when he was in- troduced to those that were furnishing material and labor as his partner when he was only, as matter of fact, one of numerous stockholders in the con- pany. There was, according to Lee hey, no dispute over the facts of the case, and the suit turned against Sul- ger purely on the law points involved. The judgment was paid promptly
 MT. Leehey says, further, that Sul- ger and the other stockholders had sent the money to Nome to pay all the company's indebtedness but that it was used for other purposes.

IDITAROD, Aug. IS. - Leonard Dodge, the we'll known prospector for merly of Fairbanks and the Innoko country died at o'clock this morning from the effects of a bullet wound which he received at o'clock yester- day morning at Flat City.
 The bullet which caused Dodge's death was fired from a 32-calibre re volver in the hands of Jimmy" Britt, a woman who arrived from Nevada on one of the first boats this season. The shooting occurred in the woman's cabin and was witnessed by two men.
 While he lay dying at the hospital Dodge made a statement exOnerating the woman from blame. declaring that the shooting was accidental. The statement is corroborated by the two men, who say that there had been no quarreling prior to the shoot ing.

Besides the main walls and floors, all of the interior walls are con crete and the nine prison cells have reinforced concrete ceilings.
 Within a week it is likely that the superstructure, consisting of two stories will be under way. Plans and specifications will be in the hands of local contractors for this part of the work probably next Monday and a call for bids will be issued by Mayor Carter so there can be no delay.
 It IS JuSI IOuI WSShS SlhCS dCll'S work was started on the premises. It required two or three days to tear down the old relic that occupied the ground and remove the debris. A crew of men and teams then began the work of excavating for the structure and progress has been incessant, despite unfavorable weather. If the cOntrac- tors complete the superstructure with the same despatch as Engineer Blakes- lee has performed his work, the new municipal building will grow to com pletiOn very soon.
