LIGHTNING STRIKES
 TREE ON MURRAY ESTATE
Thunder Storms Have Touched This
 City But Lightly Thus Far

Thunder storms thus far this sea- son have for the most part touched Putnam lightly. Storms at the south and on the north of the city have been frequent. Putnam has only been touched by the edge of these summer electrical showers.
 During the storm last Thursday evening an elm tree on the estate of Mrs T. Morris Murray at Abingdon was struck by lightning. The ball split the tree open from crotch to the ground. The tree was one that had been hauled at considerable labor and expense from a farm in Pomfret and planted on the Murray estate, as have many other beautiful trees.

POLICE INVESTIGATE
 STORY TOLD BY BOYS
Tell of Seeing Woman in Custody of
 Two Men Near City Dump

Two boys of the south section of the city pedaled their bicycle to their homes, Saturday afternoon, and re- ported that they had seen a woman, bound and gagged, being dragged by two men along the railroad track near the city dump. One of the men, they said. carried revolver in plain sight The police were notified.
 Captain Dubreuil went to that sec ton of the city and made an inves- tigation. Nothing unusual was found to disturb the quiet of this some what remote out O. the way place.
 It was in this neighborhood that a shooting affair took place last week when one Polish woman shot another Polish woman in the hand and neck. It is possible that the boys had been thinking about this affair and that their imaginations were more than normally active.

water. The ground goes about $115 to the box length. Bed rock is from 12 to 15 feet deep. EXcep- tionally big boulders are encoun- tered.
 Prospects at Crecy
 From Spring Creek, MT. Moller travelled to Surprise Creek where prospects have been found by Crecy The whole creek is virgin ground. No shoveling in or ground sluicing had commenced when MT Moller was there, everyone being engaged in prospecting. On the creek were Crecy, the discoverer; Joe Mat thews, Al West, Frank Theesen and Sam Hope. Gus Wagner will pros pect on Surprise Creek and intends to do some mining on Lake Creek, where he has some favorable look ing ground.
 Two relief cabins are needed en route to Wild River, MT. Moller said. They would be great help to the men who are freighting in sup plies.
 Pay on North Fork
 While MT. Moller was at Bettles on his return to Fairbanks, it was reported there that pay dirt had been found on the North Fork of the Koyukuk but no details were received. Five men went up from Wiseman to the scene of the strike, it was said.
 There were two men in the John River country this summer, accord irg to MT. Moller. Both were mining on a small scale. The sea- son at Wiseman has been none too good because of a marked shortage of water-(Fairbanks News-Minerf.

the high cost of landing supplies 1 there Freight is 15 cents pound from Bettles and TOO pounds is con- sidered a boat load up the swift Wild River
 Confined to Placer 1 Prospecting this year has been confined almost entirely to placer. Float carrying gold can be picked up almost anywhere, MT Moller said. He brought back several hard rock specimens as well as placer gold, and placed them on display in Vance R. McDonald's store. Some very rich samples were brought to Fairbanks last year by Joe Mat thews and the residents of the district are optimistic over the pos abilities of opening up a quartz camp.
 MT. Moller was gone from Fair banks three weeks on the trip. Af- ter stopping over at Panama, he landed at Alatna to deliver mail. The village was practically desert ed, Sam Dublin, storekeeper, being the only person there. Members of the staff of St. -the-Wild- erness Episcopal mission at Alla- kaket, across the river from Alatna, welcomed the arrival of the plane, the first that had landed there for three or four months.
 Continued to Bettles
 After a short stay there MT. Mol Ter continued to Bettles. He found the bar near the town covered with water and had to land mile or so farther down.
 , Because no information was available as to landing conditions on the Wild River MT. Moller de- cided to leave the plane at Bettles and was glad he did so, as he did not find single place in the min ing district where a landing could have been safely made.
 The mining section is about 90 miles from Bettles by river. The stream is swift and progress is made upstream only with difficulty. The boat, which MT. Moller and another man used, was powered with an outboard motor carried 800 pounds of supplies, which is con- sidered an exceptionally good load. Terrain Is Rugged
 The boat was cached at the Forks and MT. Moller walked in from there. The terrain is very rugged land it took him seven hours to cover a distance of five miles to the mining camp.
 Principal mining operations are being carried on at Spring Creek. Located there are the Smith Broth CTS and Edwards, Ben Sir and Har- rison and Larrimore. The latter two are the only one who were do- ing any actual mining at the time. They were shoveling in.
 The others did not have enough

WOMEN OF ICELAND SNUB
 STYLES-KEEP OWN DRESS

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Oct. B. Icelandic women re-use to bow to Parisian fashion edicts. They re- tain their national dress, which is far more expensive than a costly Paris gown.
 The trinkets worn with them are
 valuable, too. The gold belt of the Icelandic matron is more expensive than a good motorcar, the work of the Icelandic goldsmiths being ex- quisite but dear. The belt probably
 is of the same pattern as those worn by the ladies of the Viking chieftains.
 When Queen Alexandrine visited
 Iceland for the first time, Ice
 landic women presented her with
 a beautiful national dress, which the queen wears on special oc- casions. It was said at the time
 that the dress was valued at more
 than $15,000.

SPITBALLER PASSING
 FROM COAST CIRCUIT

LOS ANGELES, April 23-From the baseball picture of the Pacific Coast league, slowly but surely is passing from the ranks of hurl- CTS the spitball artist.
 This fact was revealed when the managers of the various clubs complying with rules of the circuit, registered with President Harry A. Williams, the moundsmen who will include in their pitching repertoire the moist ball delivery.
 Only three were named; three less than a season ago. Of these, Frank Shellenback, Hollywood, now leads the list as the most effective The Stars hurling expert turned in a record of 26 victories against an even dozen defeats last season for a .684 average.
 Ray Heating and Al Gould, both with Sacramento, Cal, are the other two. Heating won 12 and lost II games while Gould was less fortunate, winning 10 against lS defeats
 The latest of the old school to pass from the loop were Doc Cran- dall and Harry Krause, both of whom saw service last year. Russell Buzz Arlett, Oakland, still stands registered as a spitball pitcher, but he is now an eutfielder and first baseman by profession. Vean Gregg retired from the list in 1928.
