Asks Friend to Walk,
 Refused. Beats Him Up

Taking offense' because William Reagan would not take walk with him, James Bracket pushed him to the street a few times in an effort to make him change his mind, but all he succeeded in doing was getting Reagan riled up and battle ensued that landed both men before Judge Benjamin w. filling in police court this morning. They were fined S20 on charges of drunkenness and assault, judgment being suspended on a charge of breach of the peace.
 The two men were arrested about S:15 o'clock last night by Patrolman Daniel Cosgrove after complaint had been made that they were fighting on Commercial street. Cosgroye went to the scene of the fray, and found Bracket attempting to lift Reagan from the gutter. the latter's head being covered with blood from a gash, evidently opened when his head struck the curbing when he fell.
 Henry Henning of PA Main street testified that he was walking along Commercial street when he came upon the two men. Bracket asked Reagan to take a walk and Reagan refused. Bracket then pushed him to the ground. Picking him up, Bracket asked him again, and getting another refusal, 'knocked him down again.

The Nome Kennel Club has this
 which have been attended by large crowds of enthusiastic dog fans.
 Prizes amounting to considerable
 value have been donated to. the win
 ners in the various races by the Club, land there will probably be two more races before the snow leaves the
 trails.
 Dog Racing is to Alaska what base ball and football are to the States. the only winter out-of-door sport
 which Northern Alaska can stage during the winter with any great sue cess. In the past races have been
 run from Nome where thousands of collars have been offered as prize money. At the present the prizes do not amount to much, but who knows what the ensuing years have iu store for this camp. with the
 growth of the camp, which is an as
 sured fact. dog racing will become again. the great out-of-door event of the winter months. Lack of interest by the public will soon send any sport down to oblivion and that
 seems to be the trouble in the last two or three years in regard to the
 races. Every time there is race
 someone is always ready to relate
 what great events the races were in former days, and whose fault is it ithat those races of former days are
 Tot being promoted, possibly not on
 such large scale. but practically so, right now? It is the lack of interest on the part of the fans. Every man, woman and child old enough in Nome
 should be a member of the Nome
 Kennel Club. giving that worthy or
 ganization their support both fnan- cially and as an active member. The dues in the Kennel Club are not so exorbitant but that the average per-
 sen can belong. and the sport is some
 thing that every person, whether in
 Alaska a month or twenty years. en- joys and goes to see. Give the Nome
 Kennel Club your support both by paying yous dues into the treasury,
 and by being an active member with the other live wires .who deserve credit for their untiriog sRofts in l keeping the oeganisaaion alive.
