 Andersen Stock

By deal consummated last Friday F. s. Gordon, of Gordon's Glass Block. became the owner of the $3000O stock of dry goods and other mer- chandise formerly belonging to Mrs. Mary Andersen.

Hunter
 MT. Gordon took formal possession of his new purchase yesterday morn
 ing When interviewed concerning his plans as regards the stock he stated that it will be sold from it's present location until June l, when what remains of it will be transport ed to the Glass Block. To further the disposal of the goods MT. Gordon is now arranging for a sale, the magnitude of which will be dis tinct surprise to the people of the community generally.
 The Andersen store was establish ed in it's present location ln 1906 and is therefore one of the oldest business enterprises in the camp. Miss Mary J. Tomilson, who has been the manager of the store for the past three years. will be retain ed by MT. Gordon in clerical ca pacity, as will Miss Anna Jansa. With the purchase of the Ander- sen stock, Mr Gordon completes his third amalgamation of the large dry goods interests of the camp In 1911 he purchased the stock of Simson Brothers, and he took over the Katherine Mills stock two years ago.

It was explained that the letter had somehow missed the keen eyes of the German censors. and that for that reason the reference 10 the postage stamp had been al lowed to reach it's destination. The climax of the story was how the man receiving the letter, taking the advice contained in it. had torr off the stamp, when, much to his surprise, he found written beneath it these words:
 We are starving"
 Certainly the story looked good and would probably have been re ceived with much appreciation by the Outside newspapers. But the neXt thing was to get the names of the sender and receiver of the letter After a little effort the man who was supposed to have received the let ter was located and he was asked fol an explanation. But he only smiled in an aggravating way and replied
 Such a letter never came here The story about the letter and the postage stamp was printed last De cember in the New York Times, but don't believe it is true"

One by one as their names were called the jurors rose from their seats, each stating that, in his opinion, verdict in the case was absolutely impossible.

 It is understood that the jury stood three for conviction and nine for acquittal when they reported in the morning. It is stated that during most of the night there were four for conviction but that one of the jurors was induced to change hi opinion.

PIONEER DAYS REPRODUCED BY
 LOCAL EAGLES
LADIES' NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT PROVES BIG SOCIAL
 SUCCESS.

Pioneer gold-camp days, like those of Dawson in 1898. were reproduced | in a mock way by the local lodge of Eagles as a novel form of enter tanment at Eagle hall on Friday night. The occasion was declared 1 by all who attended it to be one of the biggest social hits of the season in Fairbanks.
 To make the affair complete, the Eagles had a large amount of fake money prepared. and this was dis tributed to the guests as they enter ed the door. By the aid of their fake money, the guests were enabled various gambling devices common to early mining camps, and at one end of the hall was a dance, where "speler" held forth and urged all to take part in it.
 | There were the faro table, the roulette wheel and numerous other | games going all at the same time. Experienced men presided over the games. Of course the winning did not mean anything. for it was fake money, with the exception that the women winning the most were to get prizes. About 2 o'clock in the morning. when the affair was about to end, the awards were made. Mrs. J. A. Healey, having $2,195 of the fake money, was awarded the first prize, consisting of beautiful ato- mixer. Miss Villa McCann, holding $1,091 of the Eagle Scrip" was given second prize, silver and ivory mounted calendar. Mrs. P. J. Rick ert won a beautiful silk umbrella for collecting the most dance checks.
 The fake money was used in ob taining refreshments which were served continuously. The supper cost dollar in this money, and soda water and other refreshing drinks cost one dollar each. This method served to make almost real the pio- neer atmosphere that pervaded the place.
 HAD PROGRAM, TOO.
 The dancing was varied by fea lures of an interesting program. The Logan and Willis Nicely was one of the best events, but it was de- clared a draw The musical features of the program were as follows:
 String orchestra selection: Elma Porter, piano, Carl Fleischman, man. dolin; Charles Kirstein, mandolin, and Hjalmar Nordale, violin. Violin solo, Lois Hopkins. Solo, Miss Jane Anderson, accompanied in chorus by a male quartette composed of William F. Hemenway, Albert Bell, Gene Huckins, and Elmer Sanderlin. The orchestra furnishing the music for the dance was composed of Durand, Huckins and Mente
 The entertainment was known as a Ladies Night" affair, and almost all of the men present were mem bers of the order The members of the committee of the Eagles having the affair m charge are said to have scored nit with the other members of the organization and the guests for the novelty and success of the entertainment, though it is admitted ceed when it comes to things of that kind.

Fuller Judge Fuller has been Enjoying having one long, enjoy Himself. able vacation since he
 left Fairbanks, accord ing to letters that have been receiv ed from him lately. The last letter to reach Fairbanks from the former judge was mailed from New York, on March 4, addressed to Angus Mcbride, clerk of the court here.
 It seems that MT. Fuller's trip to New York was of a business na- ture, though he did not say so On his way there from California, he attended the annual Mardi Gras at New Orleans. Previously he had visited the expositions in San Fran cisco and San Diego. He had been seeing the sights of California from an auto, it has been explained in some of his previous letters. and it seems he has been making up for time spent in the years that he has been pioneering in Alaska.
 Just how long MT. Fuller will re- main in New York, he did not ex- plain. He said that since going East he had visited Washington and had seen Delegate Wickersham and had also talked with Falcon Joelin. It
