After a conference this morning OF
the Peck family, attended By Miss Cath
arine A. Peck. Percy Peck and his wife
and DR.. Schurtz. the family physician
and long tim friend. and by Walter
Drew. the following statement was given
out through Mr.. Drew. as attorney for
the Peck family. in regard to the die-
ferent r,Nrors that ave appeared in the
press concerning the relations Of ne
Peck family to the prosecution Of d.,
Waite.
ANY rumor or statement to the effect
that the Peck family or any Of Its mem
bers has furnished, or intends to furnish.
ANY assistance. financial or otherwise.
to the defence OF Dr. Waite. Is abso-
lutely false and %unfounded. No arrange
ments TO that effect have been made.
and so far as the selection OF Mr.. deuel.
as counsel for DR.. Waite Is concerned
that selection has been made without
any authority or understanding with any
member of the Peck family.
The attitude of the Peck fannhly has
been II il the hope and expectation
that full and exact Justice be done. An!
statements indicating a spiri. OF revenge
ON the part OF Percy Peck. or other
members of the family, are also an
Warranted.
The above statements apply specih-
cally to the rumors connecting the name
of Miss Catharine \. Peck with the ar

evidenced by the fact that from almost
the beginning Of the investigation into
the death OF Mr.. Peck Miss Peck took
steps which have resulted in tying up
completely the different bank accounts
and moneys OF DR.. Waite, which were
part Of funds he had secured from her
under pretense that he intended 10 in
vest them.
Miss Peck's efforts IN this direction
have been successful and she has Sc
cured and now holds these funds. Miss
Peck has also assisted in financing the
investigation which has been conducted
hy the detective agency into Mr.. Peck's
death. and Mr.. Drew. acting ~ her at
torney. has from the beginning worked
in fun harmony and cooperation with
the District Attorney in bringing to
light every bit OF evidence bearing upon
tho case.
This statement is made 10 set at
rest the misleading rumon 10 the con-
trary. and besides the members Of the
Peck family present at the conference
il fully represents the opinions and feel

A.. Peck and Mrs. Percy Peck.
MIR. Drew explained that Percy Peck
signed the Statement. for his sister. Mrs.

would have signed Il IL she were present.
Mr.. Drew IS now trying to find u
what became of between 100000 and
10000 given to DIR. Waite by Miss
Catharine ~. Peck to invest for her.
OF this money he knows $4,000 went
on the embslming deal. He has been

REPORTS GOLD STRIKE

The discovery of gold in what appears
10 be paying quantities on Moose creek,
in the Toklat country, has aroused much
interest in that district and the present
indications are that quite number of
people will stampede TO the new dig
gings from Nenana. The report of the
find was brought TO town several days
ago by Fred Houselnlan, TIE discoverer,
who arrived direct from Moose creek with
a poke containing $1,000 in dust, which
he claims to have taken out of his ground
since the first of last September. Hous-
Gilman is an oil i-timer in the Toklat and
Kantishna districts, and this is not the
first time that he has found the paysteak
there. Nearly ten years ago he discover
ed pay OIL the kantishna side of the dl-
vide on a creek also known as Moose,
and lie has devoted most of his time since
then TO prospecting i'll that neighborhood,
confident that he would again land on
the pay. The scene of the Houselman
find is we'll known to all old-tlmers OF
the kantishna. In fact it has been known
for long time that the creek carried
gold, but it remained for Rouselnlan to
uncover good pay. The paystreak IS
rather narrow but the ground is shallow
and comparatively easy TO work. 1t Is
something of task, however, to land
supplies on the creek.
Moose cre.k, which is about ninety
miles from Nenana by way of the Thirty
Mile station, OH the right of way, is
small stream, not over three miles IN
length, but it is parallel by FIVE or six
other creeks equally promising i'll appear
ancc, so that the outlook for the district
MAY be said to be reasonably encourag-
ing.
When the discoverer arrived in Nenana
he deposited his gold with Fowler &
Morris, intending to secure an outfit lat
er in the season and return to his find.
At present lie is i'll Fairbanks, having
gone to the upper town the day follow
ing his arrival here.

they deserve. The entente powers call
not entertain the idea of peace Which
does not give them what they are light

position in this respect. The British, he
are showing no signs OF

Wednesday Was Payday.

Wednesday was payday in Nenana.
That is, the payment of election bets be-
gan on Wednesday following the receipt
of advices from the Outside announcing
the result of the official count in Califor-
MIA, and each day since then has added
to the number of wagers paid. A con-
siderable amount of money changed
hands on the election, or will have by
the time all bets have been paid. The
amount is vdriously estimated at from
three to four thousand, and the wagers
ranged from small sums to amounts run
ming we'll into the hundreds. The larg-
est individual loss as the result of the
reelection of President Wilson is said
to have been slightly in excess of $1,000.
Practically all the money wagered here
was placed on Wilson and Hughes, the
candidates for delegate having compar-
atively few hackers.
