COMPANY IS
 LOSER IN CIVIL COURT ACTION

John Freeland, an oldtimer in the Candle mining district, yes terday, in the court of Judge J. H. s. Morrison in this city, won suit in all five counts, as claimed, from the defendant company in the case. the Arctic Circle Exploration Company, Inc, a Chicago company mining in the Candle-Keewalik district.
 All five of the charges were for wages, due and owing, but not received by the plaintiff.
 After the trial had started, the defense asked that the jury be allowed to leave the courtroom, as counsel for the defense had a plea to make regarding the first three of the five counts in the case.
 The jury was then recessed for Ia few minutes at call of the court.
 Defense Attorney Ira Orton. for his client company, agreed that in their lack of evidence to the contrary, they were forced to agree to pay the first three counts of the five charges.
 Attorney c. c. Tanner, in be- half of his client, John Freeland. accepted the plea regarding the three counts. but argued that the last two would continue. The jury was then recalled and the case resumed.
 The plaintiff, Freeland. was called to the stand to testify in his own behalf and to present all facts relating to the charges in the case. He stated that over a period of six years, the company had held out on him for several periods of work, for which he

QUESTIONING ALONG MAIN
 STREET
sy JAY RAYMOND

Aside from topics which appear pertinent ih the news of the day, much confab has been apparent in regard to winter and the &C., tivities, social and otherwise, which are connected with the months of frigid temperature.
 On several occasions ye scribe has overheard much talk of re- viving as one activity the inter- esting and much-popularized game of softball as winter sport.
 Obviously, there are no "Tris Speakers" or 'Tyrus Raymond Cobb's' in our midst, but Nome has known in the past, many whose qualifications in the art of ball-tossing rank with the best in amateur circles.
 True, the majority of we base ball fans would much prefer get ting our baseball thrills from the open bleachers in our favorite baseball orchard. The great American game has called many of us to the stands of Saturday afternoon, to hear "meanie" umpire call out his familiar cry: 4'Play ball''.
 Throughout the ensuing innings, if memory recalls correctly, our biggest thrill came from calling this said official, a "thief, rob- Der" or what-not simply as a means, not only for an enjoyable afternoon, but rather for what we thought justification, but in real ity, because our favorite ball. tossers ran off with the low end of a 20 score or4such like.
 The same spirit of competition in baseball can apply here in the city this winter. Only this time-indoor baseball. The extent of enjoyment gained from this sport can be highly comparable to that of Saturday afternoons s thrill over session of "The Daf- illness Boys versus "The Cas- House Gang.
 So it behooves ye scribe to agi- tate and pronounce that baseball is again in order-indoor base ball, if. you please, in the hopes that some civic organization in the city will take the project in hand, so that once again we can hear the thrill of our lifetime echo and re-echo down the halls of the school house, as the mean ie" of an ump dons his mask, strikes up a pose and in tones final and severe commands the local gentry to again-'Play Ball!"
