IDITAROD HAS
 MOST SI ,ACkERS
 IN THE. FOURTH

Six men failed to register at Idita- rod in accordance wiht the provi- sions of the conscription law, accord
 ing to official information received here. This places Iditarod in the lead in the Fourth division in re- gard to the number of slackers in it's vicinity, as only two others have been reported, both from Hot Springs.
 The latest information from Idita- rod comes in the shape of a wire to the district attorneys office from Commissioner A. M Kilgore of Flat. He stated that four men have been arrested and that two more are being sought. The cases of the two who have not been caught are declared to be the most fragrant. The wire also asks for instructions as to how the cases should be handled, and Commissioner Kilgore has been in formed that the men shall be held in accordance with the law, even though they express a willingness to register, unless they give good ex cuses for failing to do so within the time allowed by the proclamation of President Wilson, ending Septem- Der 2.
 Three of the alleged slackers are now out on bail, and the fourth who was arrested has been released on his own recognizance, according to the wire received Oscar Hendrick son and Sula Makela are at liberty under bonds of s5O00 and Sam Sulli- van under $2,O0O bonds. Jim Bestoff, Russian, the last to be arrested, is the man who has been released on his own recognizance. He claim ed that he became careless and let the date of registration slip by, ac-. cording to the wire.

NEW JURY PANEL,
 HAS TO BE DRAWN

Owing to the fact that the last Alaska legislature disarranged the old methods of drawing juries by passing a new law requiring a full panel of tWenty-four men and also requiring that the panel be regularly drawn it is altogether probable that, for the coming term of court, it will be necessary for the clerk of court and jury commissioner to get together a list of 300 names for the drawing, as they would in the matter of starting a new term of court. The first reason for this is, of course, that the law requiring that not less than 300 names must be placed in the jury box, must be observed. The second reason is that, while the jury could be drawn from the old list were it eXtant, under court ruling the list has been de stroyed.
 Questioned last night in regard to the drawing, the date of which has not yet been set but which must take place before October 15, Judge Charles E. Bunnell stated that he cannot tell just how many talesmen will be required to fill up the regular panel of twenty-four men. A number of the members of the panel were excused prior to the adjournment of the session of court here in June, and more will be excused by Judge Bunnell if they so desire, providing they can show good cause why they should be.
