The, Robert Dollar corporation

purpose OF Captain Dollar, who Is

For that reason II was decided
that no charge Of commission or

MARTIN MORAN SHOT
 AT DAHL CREEK

Martin Moran former member of the Territorial legislature and candidate for the Scnatorship of the Second Di- vision in the present campaign, was shot and perhaps fatally injured at Dahl creek, about 25o miles north of Candle Friday, April 6. his assailant being Mike Tuohey an old time resi- dent of the Kobuk section.
 According to the meager accounts reaching here from Candle last night, the shooting was done with double barreled shotgun and was the result of an argument between the two men occurring the day before, but which had apparently been amiab'y adjusted. Candle reports assert that Moran was shot in the back from a distance of twenty feet, and but for the fact that he was wearing Q heavy, loose fitting mackinaw coat at the time, Moran would undoubtedly have been killed

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Commencing May l. the Nome Daily Nugget and also the Daily Nomc Indus trial Worker will be issued as tri-
 weekly papers The Nugget will be is-
 sued on Monday, Wednesday and Fri day evenings the Worker appearing on the alternate days, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, also in the evening.
 By way of explanation to our patrons, the Nugget wishes to state that the change from a daily to tri-weekly paper is necessitated by existing con- ditions over which the management has no control. War conditions have | resulted in the costs of paper and
 other material employed in publication advancing as much as four hundred
 per cent during the past year, with still greater advances in prospect. An additional factor involv. cd in the contemplated change is that
 the papers have suffered q serious cur. ! tailment in the volume of subscriptions
 as a result of the lowering of the pop ulation and have also failed to receive | the advertising support essential to continuing daily publications. In ar ! irving at the stated decision the papers
 were compelled to consider either an advance in the subscription and ad- vertisement prices or the alternative of affecting a saving by reducing the number of issues. After careful de- liberation of the question by the rep
 resentatives of both papers, it was de- cided that an increase in the subscrip-
 tion price would hardly meet with
 public favor at this time and 1t was
 therefore, decided to reduce the num- Der of issues. Although appearing on
 alternate days, the change does not
 imply that the public will be deprived of the present quantity of world news provided. There will be no reduction in the volume of telegraphic news matter published and the public will receive fully as much for It's money as was heretofore the case. The only differ ence will be that it will be received on alternate days instead of daily, as at present As there will be no reduc-
 tion in the news service provided by
 both papers, the subscription and ad- Vertising prices will remain the samo
 as before in the case of each paper.
 Both papers greatly regret that con- ditions have conspired to force sus- pension of daily issue. Had the read ing and advertising public been moro liberal in supporting daily publications
 the change might have been avoided but under existing conditions the pub
 fishers are left no alternative but to
 proceed as stated, by issuing every
 other day.

Political telegrams arriving from Anchorage say that Ketchikan and other Alaska points have been flooded with circulars advising republicans to ask for the Republican ballot at the primaries and to write in the name of w. A. Gilmore of Nome for the del egateship. One of the telegrams sug- gests that it is well thought out scheme to beat Maloney. This view is also shared by many local politicians Iwho issert that an attempt was made by the local Demo cratic Ting representatives to launch a movement of this character some time ago. Republican leaders here declare they have absolute information that Gilmore is not candidate in the pres cnt campaign, and denounce the ef- fort 10 bring him into the race as an other sample of the tactics of the ma chine crowd to win by any means pos sible.

outright. Although the heavy clothing worn by Moran apparently stopped the charge of No shot from taking full effect, a large portion of the load pen etrated his body The shooting was witnessed by two persons whose names could not be asccrtained. Fol lowing the shooting, word was sent to the T.. s. Marshal at Kiana and Moran was brought to Candle by dog sled. The wounded man and his attendants arrived there at 7.30 last night and Moran was placed in the Fairhaven hospital where he was resting as easily as could be expected this morning. Dr. Wclch announced last night that Mo- ran has a fair chance of recovery pro vided no complications develop.
 News of the unfortunate affair has been greeted with profound sorrow by the many friends of Moran residing in Nome, all of whom knew him as a kindly, likablc man of sterling charac- ter and sound integrity.
 Mike Touhey, his assailant is an old time miner and prospector of the Shugnak and Dahl sections and is aged about sixty five years.
