Duke Is Freed and
New Charge Made

Owing to his illness. James Duke,
the Nenana trader, will not be tried
another time on the charge Of hav
ing sold intoxicating liquors without
license, but he will be forced
to answer to the grand jury on a
charge of having sold liquor to In
dians.
The case tried here more than a
week ago, in which Mr.. Duke was
charged with having sold liquors
without license, ended in a dis
agreement of the jury. A new case
was started, but before the full jury
was obtained, Mr.. Duke took SICK
and was sent to the hospital. AS
the charge is a minor one, and the
expense Of keeping witnesses here
was material. an arrangement was
made by which Mr.. Duke would be
freed from that charge, while he
waived his preliminary examination
on the charge Of having sold liquor
to Indians. and he was bound over
to the grand jury.

Seward Gateway: District Attor-

to be the three chief candidates for
the district judgeship made vacant
by the retirement of Judge Fuller
Of the Fourth division. 1t is also

a vacancy occurred and that he has
Senator Hoke Smith working for
him.
1t is understood that Delegate
Wickersham is actively taking the
matter in hand as return, no doubt,
for the fact that Spence aided him
against the Democratic candidate
in the territory.
That Spence will go to Washing
ton with Wickersham on the Ala
media is believed, so that the spec
tacle will be witnessed Of a man
depending on party for job by
using the man who was in opposi-

worried him, and made him leave

that she had been after the man

For accumulated taxes on its

owned the Northern Navigation com
pany, paid Clerk of the Court Nc
Bride Stats last Thursday. The
payment was in accordance with
a recent decision Of the United

The decision also affects the N
