and telegraph wires between the city
and the camp. Meade dressed himself,
got handcar, and was hurried to the
nearest town on the railroads main
line. From there he sent telegram
and tried to get connection with New
York by telephone, but failed. Moved
by a natural impulse, in default of
other means of communication, he
jumped on the midnight train for New
York. He would go himself in person
and attend to the grave affair. Moth
ing whatever could be so important.
There had been some friction be-
tween Abbott and Meade before on oc-
casions, not serious, but several times
Meade had ventured to suggest some
thing which to Abbott seemed useless
and unnecessary, and the fact that
subsequent events had more often than
not proved Meade's suggestions to be
worth while, had not put Abbott in al
together the best mood toward his
young colleague. Abbott never forgot
that Meade had really no official con-
nection with the building of the bridge,
and that he was only there as special
representative of his father, and al
though he could not help liking the
younger man, Abbott would have been
better pleased If he had been left
alone.
Meade had not gone about it in the
right way to move man of Abbott's
temperament. He realized that as he
lay awake on the sleeper speeding to
New York. Abbott was a man who
could not be driven. He was a tre-
mendOus driver himself and naturally
he could not take his own medicine. If
Meade had received the announcement
more quietly and If he had by some
subtle suggestion put the idea of dan
ger into Abbott's mind all would have
been well, for when he was not blind
ed by prejudice, or his authority or his
ability questioned, Abbott was a sen.
sible man thoroughly to be depended
upon. But the news had come to Meade
with such suddenness, Abbott had only
casually mentioned 1t at the close of q
lengthy conversation regarding the
progress of the work as if it were 8
matter of no special moment, that the
sudden shock had thrown Meade of
his balance.
Therefore he could see nothing bu

Beware the Loaded Gun.

The man who returns from hunting
and sets his loaded gun in the corner
or hangs it on the wall is, in reality,
setting death-trap. Yet it is surpris-
ing how often this is done. The gun
we didn't know was loaded" is an
old, old story, says Farmers Guide.
You cannot be too cautious. The
loaded gun you may keep on the wall
TO shoot crows with when they get in

@"Fourth of July" in March.

Fireworks on Independence day are
denied the children and grown folks Of
Alaska for the simple reason that the
July nights are almost as light as the
days and it does not pay to attempt
pyrotechnic displays if there is no
darkness to show them off by contrast.
Consequently it has become the Gus
tom in many Alaskan cities, including
Fairbanks, to hold a Fourth of July
celebration on March 4, when the
nights are still very long. Then there
is abundant opportunity for displaying
fireworks of every variety.

Five Killed in
 Bad Train Wreck

OMAHA, Nebr., Feb. 2.-Five persons are known to have been killed and a number injured when a train on the Chicago. Burling- ton & Quincy railroad became de- railed near Cromwell, Iowa, to- night. A broken rail was the cause of the wreck, the train having struck it while it was going at great speed. Five Pull man cars were thrown from the track, all of them rolling down a forty-foot embankment.
 Whether or not any more of the passengers on the train have been killed cannot yet be ascer- tained. A wrecking crew is now engaged in clearing up the wreck age of the cars, and 1t is thought probable that they are holding down others who lost their lives.

CHENA|TES JAN NOT LOCATE ANY
 MINING CLAIMS

According to statement by a local land office official yesterday af- ternoon, mining claims cannot be located at Cinema. the scene of the latest reported strike. He stated that this tract of ground had been withdrawn from entry and reserved for townsite purposes. The records of the local land office show that the executive order for this was signed on June 23, 1914, and, accord ing to him, the town had never sur rendered its grant and been reopaned for entry or location Several peo- pie who desired to locate claims at Cinema have been informed to this effect by him
 What course those stalking could take and be sure of their rights he could not say. In the meantime the stalking has continued, until it is re- ported that practically everything In sight has been staked. Many old timers from the surrounding country have hiked for the new strike. and it is thought possible that good pay may yet be uncovered.
 Already men have been in town seeking prospecting boilers and other supplies. and 1t is believed that a large number of outfits will at once begin operations. If the strike pans out 1t Is sure to mean considerable revenues for not only Fairbanks. but also for the entire district.

r FA|RBANKSANS AGAIN LOSE ID
 NENANA TEAM

In the second and last game of the present series of basketball Ne mana won from the local team by the score of 31 to 24 The showing of the home team was an agreeable surprise to all it's supporters, who ex- pected to see it overwhelmed by a larger scoro than the first game So much was the play improving that it was hard to believe that it was the same bunch of players on the floor.
 The game was the fastest ever pulled off on local floor, and at times resembled a battle royal. On account of the speedy playing, the game was necessarily somewhat rough. and it was necessary to call time out on several different occa- sions on account of minor injuries. Logan, center for Fairbanks was hurt several times, and in the sec ond half had to be taken out. He was replaced by Stenbuck, who put up a splendid game. Bidwell played the first half for Hansen. who took his regular position at the start ot the last half This was Bidwell's first appearance on local floor, and he made a good impression by his gameness and all round work.
 The work of the entire home team deserves commendation. The class of ball they played last night should receive good support. Eschliman played the best game of his life. h

the first half he seemed to be all over the hall at once His work on the defensive saved the home team many baskets. Captain Crippen had his basket eye back again, and made several difficult shots. He deserves great credit for the manner in which he handled the team Hansen went into the game in the second half with a vengeance, and was a whirl- wind being like a cat on his feet, and pulling off plays with the speed of chain lightning. Pix Wood, who is known as one of the most con sistent players on the local team, showed better form last night than ever before, and his work against Taylor, the life of the Nenana team, was phenomenal
 The visiting team also played a better game than it did the first contest, and was forced to extend itself to the utmost to win. Ike Taylor. with his unerring basket shooting, was a9sn one of the larg- est factors in it's victory. The whole team is good ore. Momb at cen ter is heady man and runs his team like clockwoIk.
