Returns from Second and

Lead Over Roden.

Returns from most of the largest
precincts in the Second Division
and additional returns from the
the lead given TO Attorney General
John Rustgard for reelection over
Henry Rcden and brings his lead
for the entire Territory to 71S
votes. 1t is not believed probable
that this can be overcome even If
Mr.. Roden should receive a major
ity of the votes still to be re-
ported from the other three Divi-
sions as there are still some Indian
districts in this Division to report
which are virtually certain to give
Mr.. Rustgard good majorities.
With partial reports received
from all Divisions today, Delegate
Sutherland had lead Of 1.49s
votes over Frank A. Boyle. Eight
precincts in the Second Division, in
cluding Nome and other larger
points, went to Mr. Sutherland by
4 three to one vote.
The Second Division precincts re-
ported also gave Mr.. Rustgard a
big majority, aggregating 376 for
him while Mr.. Roden only had 1873.
In the Fourth Division, Fairbanks
and surrounding creek polling places
went almost two to one for Mr..
Rustgard, giving him 46S to $50
for his opponent. Mr.. Rust gard s
lead in the Third is small and II

A speedy burlesque show known

forth at the Gayety this week.
and the cash customers as well
as the annie Oakley boys last
night voted it the best entertain.
rnent Of the kind they have seen
this season. Bobby Clark and
Paul MCCULLOUGH, who deserted
burlesque for the more pretentious
musical revue, are sponsors for
the show, for which they wrote
both the book and lyrics. They
have done exceedingly well, hav-
ing provided George Shelton and
AL Tyler, two rapid-fire comedians,
with a lot of clever lines, ami
these merry fellows kept the house
in an uproar throughout the per-
Torrance. Their burlesque on the
Shooting of Dan McGrew," with
the assistance of several other
principals, was cleverly done, and
evoked much applause.
Beatrice Tracey has the best
voice in the outfit; but for some
reason is only allotted three Of the
singing numbers. These she
handled to the evident delight Of
the audience, which insisted on
calling for more, Babe Shaw dis
played much pep in her song and
dance numbers. George Hazard
and Cy Landry drew a fine hand
with their eccentric dances, while
Wally Sharples and Lloyd Ped
drick doomed up big in a number
of the scenes.
The chorus is a nifty aggrega-
ton. and is a big factor in the
success Of the performance.
