MYSTERY OF LOST
 LETTERS IS SOLVED

Ruby Record Citizen: A mystery was cleared up last week whereby the good faith of an accommodating man was established and several financial transactions were strengthened out.
 Coming out of the KOyuhuk last September, Joe Oates, of Panama, brought five letters to be delivered in Ruby OrpOsted here. Al the letters contained money and none of them reached the parties Cor whom they were intended. Recently Mr. Oates was requested to explain what he had done with the letters Last week he sent word to the postOffice where and how he had mailed tho letters; and on that hunch Clerk E. M. Reynolds shOveled the snow away and opened up the Kinzer building, where the office used to be. There in the old letter box lay all the letters and all the money.
 Oates had passed through town in  the night and didn't know the office had been moved.

ADDISON L. CLARK WHO SENT CHECKS TO SEWARD FOR
 DEPOSIT ARRESTED IN N. Y,

Last September a party by the name of Addison L. Clark, of Giboa, New York, sent to the Bank of Sew ard a sight draft drawn on some re- mote town in India for several thOus- sand dollars and asked to open an ac- count with the same. The bank wrote back to Mir. Clark that they would handle the item as a collection only and in the meantime made inquiries regarding Mir. Clark. In OctbOre Mr. Clark sent another letter to the bank enclosing what purported to be a certificate of deposit on the First National Bank of Rockwell, Texas, for S8,5OO. On consulting the bank directories no such bank could be found In the meantime unfavorable reports regarding the inquiries sent out by the bank had been received. In the last monthly bulletin issued by the American Bankers Association appears the following:
 Addison L. Clark was recently ar rested in Giboa, New York, by deputy United States Marshal, he having been indicted in the Federal Court in New Haven, Conn, for send ing mo fund" checks through the mails. Clark has been released under $1 ,5OO bail to appear for trail at New Haven. This man has been con ducting a fraudulent stock bond and check scheme for several years past, and has been reported to this de- partment by many of our members. Post Office Inspector R. P. Allen at Utica, N. r., is handling the case against Clark"

LOWER RIVER NATIVE
 ACCUSED OF MURDER

RUBY, Feb. 1.-Monday, January l7, the native known as Twenty-Five mile NicOlai was given a preliminary hearing at Nulato on the charge of having murdered his wife. The hear ing was before Dr. Frank W. Lamb, United States commissioner, and Nicolai was held for appearance be- fore the grand jury.
 Mrs. Nicolai was found dead in the vicinity of Kaltag September 29 last year. Her body was found in a lean ing posture over a bunch of willows. A cOrOner's jury at that time was divided in opinion as to whether she had been murdered or had died of heart failure. Nicolai had been known to beat her, and the fact sub jected him to suspicion.
 Deputy Marshal Long is at present down the river, and it is thought he may bring the accused up with him.

MasOns Buy a LOt--
 WiIIErect Building
New Lot is at Corner of Sixth and
 Adams.

The Masons of Seward held meet ing in the new A. B. hall last evening. The principal business transacted was the purchase of building lot 33 X 100 feet at the corner of Sixth and Adams The lot faces on Adams. 1t was purchased from Dougherty & stewart. Inasmuch as the Seward Masonic lodge is not yet organized it was decided to have the deed drawn in the name of Dr. J. H. Romig, who will hold the property as trustee until the lodge is instituted.
 In response to the inquiry of a Gateway reporter as to what kind Of a building would be erected, a well known Mason said; "The kind of a building to be erected will not be de- cided upon until after the institution of the lodge. However, there is reason to believe that at no distant date Seward will have a Masonic home that will be a credit to the or ganization. The progressiveness of the Seward members of the Masonic fraternity is indicated by the pur- chase of building site in advance of the institution of a lodge"
 The time of organization will not be quite as soon as the brothers had hoped. However, everything possible is being done to meet the necessary requirements in order that a dispen- sation to institute may be granted as early as possible.
 The committee on organization re- ported number of new names of brothers who desire to become charter members and have sent for their remits.
 Several important committees were appointed which will report at the next meeting, notice of which will be given through the press.

BURNSIDE HEARD FROM LAST NIGHT AND SERVICE
 OPENED P. NJ.

Just before 1 o'clock this afternoon the joyful announcement came that the cable had been fixed and placed in commission. The local cable office heard from the cable ship Burnside last evening and was informed that the ship had picked up the Seward end of the break and that it would be advisable to keep on watch from 8 o'clock this morning to this evening.
 It is possible that press messages may be late in coming owing to the probable accumulation of commercial messages since the cable went out of commission. This is written at 1 o'clock p. m. and no outside cables had been received at that time.

LONDON March 4-The Germans have renewed their terrific attacks on the French lines around Verdn and the struggle raging with fghtu intensity as this dispatch is sent The rush of the German hOrdes was preceded by yerabe tornado of shell fire and 1t IS now clear that the enemy has been gathering great quantities of artillery ammunition and artillery for the supreme ef- fort The fighting at Fort DaumOnt is the heaviest At that point the Germans have apparently exerted their greatest strength as the fall of the place would probably mean the opening of the way to the city itself The Ger mans have admittedly continued to gain but at an awful cost The news today states that the French have cap tured several hundred yards of trenches.

MAY NOMINATE
 DELEGATES NOW
IF REPUBLICAN MEETING TO. NIGHT LARGE ENOUGH WORK
 MAY BE PUT THROUGH.

The delegates to the Republican convention which will be held here may be nominated at the meeting of the Republican Club which takes place this evening at Pioneer Hall at 8 o'clock. This was stated by Commit teeman J. J. Finnegan this morning. He believes that if the crowd is large enough at the meeting there is no reason why the delegates should not be nominated. Eight will represent Seward and as the convention is to be held in the home town the selection of a man will not mean that he will be inconvenienced in the least. The con vention will be held on the 10th. of next month. At the meeting tonight all Republicans are welcome and the books will be open for the signing of the roll by new members of the club. While speaking of a political meet ing at all it may be recalled to mind that on one year from today the in- stallatiOn of a president of the United States may occur. Maybe the local Republicans had this in view when the meeting was called and feel that the meeting might be a happy augury of the fulfllment of their desires. Democrats, please take notice.
