make up the 100000. Harvey would
go behind the wire cage TO get his
S200,0OO. to all appearances, but in
reality, he would keep on going. and
when the Milwaukee man went for
the police the men would disappear
and there would be TO one about the
pool room and the few fixtures dis
mantled and carried away.
One man from Ohio even went so far
as TO wire his partner to send him $780,
600 Immediately. The partner became
suspicious and came on to ST. Angus
int. But he sent the money on to a
local bank. Arriving here he secured
the services of several local officers of
the law and watched the bank. When
his dupe of a partner appeared with
two of the crooks, all three we're ar,
rested. The victim wanted to punch
his partners face for The outrage.
A hurried trip to the nearby pool
room netted the officers several more
confidence men. All were held in $780,
900 bond and later were brought be-
fore the United States court at Jack
sonville, where the bond was reduced
$1,000 At the trial all were fined
81 900. The confidence men in real
Try had not been guilty of swindling,
their purpose had been defeated. but
a point was stretched, that of using
the mails to defraud, the victim having
done so at the instance of the men.
They paid the fines and proceeded to
leave the northern end Of the east
coast of Florida.
A Baltimore man hurried from St.
Augustine to his home city to get S45,-
600 to show that his check was good,
in a race track bet he had made in a
pool room here. He told his friends
in Baltimore about his big haul.
They looked up the supposed winning
horse in the newspapers and it was
found the animal did not run on the
dav he placed the money on it,
Women come here from various
sections of the country Some are
stool pigeons for the crooks. while
others are shoplifters. When caught
in thefts in stores they become indig-
nant and threaten damage suits and de-
clare they will advise their husbands
of the outrage. When pinned down
they "blubber" and ask mercy. Then
trip is made to their apartments
where hats, handbags. silk handker-
chiefs, rings and other articles they
have stolen, are discovered. Such fe-
males are escorted to the railroad
station and told to "beat it," And
they outbeat trap drummer in a cir
Gus.
We have been taking good care of
the editor of the Register since he has
been here, and we will send him back
home safe and sound after he has
seen the beauty and prosperity of Flor
ida.

SOURDOUCHS OF KOYUKUk
 MAKE APPEAL FOR DOCTOR

Efforts are being made by the residents of the koyukuk district 70 have a doctor appointed U. s. com missioner in order tha, sufficient in- ducement may be held out to some medical man to locate in that remote region. The need of doctor in the district, they argue. is much more urgent than the need of com missioner. but the population is not sufficiently large to attract doctor, Therefore the effort to secure the appointment of a man who can serve the district in a dual capacity. News of the original move on the part of the Koyukukers was brought to Nenana by Harry Owens. well known oldtimer who arrived in town several days ago with Charley Peter son. He reports that petition was recently circulated among the people of the distant district, asking the ap- rointment of a doctor to succeed the present commissioner but. up to l the time he left for Nenana, nothing had come of it, and it is believed ] that no change will be made until the Republicans assume charge ,f affairs in the Fourth division.
 :! Owens says there is very little
 mining in progress in the koyukuk l his winter. but quite number of men are scattered over the distric: l looking for new paystreaks. The ex- cessive cost of supplies has retard- ! ed operations there, just as it has i in other sections of the territory, and to a greater degree because of /. the distance of the region from the
 Yukon river
 i The koyukuk was visited recently ] by a number of natives from the i Arctic hills, some of them getting 1 their first glimpse of civilization ] They ventured into the district on a
 trading expedition, long deferred on account of early-day hostility of the Koyukuk natives. Mir. Owens was given a pipe by one of them, and
 which is a rare curio. He also tells
 of a bear skin brought in by the
 visitors. measuring 13 feet in length
 with part of the head missing.
