LOCAL LAWYER
 WEEDS OUTSIDE

Information received here on yes terday's mail from the Outside is to the effect that G, A, Olson, the well known local attorney, has joined the ranks of the benedicts. The name of the lady is not known locally, but it is supposed that she is one who visited Fairbanks two years ago with a party of tourists.
 At the time that Judge Olson left for the Outside, several months ago, it was freely predicted that he would bring a bride back with him. It is therefore expected that the couple will return to Fairbanks shortly to make their home.
