 One evening not long ago, so the story goes, an intoxicated man stag gered up to the bunkhouse. A new face, that of cheeChaco. who had not been in the Tolovana very long. greeted him at the door and demanded the usual four bits fo. nights accommodation. "Waitil wash" said Bill for it was he and he was not acquainted with his new clerk.
 As soon as he had completed his ablutions, Bill turned to the man who had asked for the four bits and said, Who the h"l do you think owns this place, anyhow? Cant man come to his own house and get bed without some IS carat fine skalawag like you comin' round and tryin' to collect from him?"
 Bill was some surprised at the answer he received, according to the story, for the man in posses sion promptly put him out of his own house. However, Bill managed 10 regain possession by persuadine the man to let him in again for he went to the warbag under his own private couch and produced all of the bills of sale and other data incidental to proving that he was the owner

There he was inform ed that his cabin partner had made a trip down into the heart of the city, MT. Morrison remarking to Mir Johnson, You tell that partner of yours to stay away from here. He comes into this place altogether too much. If he ever shows up here again I'll have him siwashed." This Is The incidents leading up A True to this story happened Story. right here in Fairbanks.
 All of the parties to it are now on the Outside, and it is therefore safe to tell 1t.

 The story is a good one, particu larly at the present time, for the reason that it relates to deal ir turkeys. And turkey tilne,' as celebrated all over the United States, is rapidly approaching.
 It is well known fact that 6 great many enterprising Fairbanks ans on trips Outside bring back something or other in the way of merchandise to sell after they ar rive home, thus realizing a little money and helping to defray the expenses of the trip.
