WILL SOME ONE KINDLY TELL ME
How many people will attend
the Majestic tonight? An oil
painting (genuine) 24 x 30, in a
gilt frame, to the person who can
estimate the closest to the num
ber of tickets taken at both shows.
Register your puess at my store
up to 9 o'clock this evening. It Is
not necessary that you buy nor
attend, but you'll want to do both.
If any two persons are equally
correct, I'll leave it to them. I've
been in one fight lately.
. .Every purchaser of a ticket at
the box office will receive a 50c
sugar shell or butter knife. In
addltlno the first six ladies who
buy tickets will receive a set of
teaspoons. In addition to this
every fifth ticket sold will entitle
the purchaser to a set of spoons
or a gunmetal match safe.
The tickets are 25c and one
ticket will admit two children.
Box office open at 7:45.
Every person making a pur
chase In my store today will re
ceive a ticket free.
Examine your tiokets. The
green ones are for the 8:15 show,
and the yellow are for the 9:45
show. Keep your tickets and ex
amine the numbers.
I'll give you a show tonight that
Charles II. Jones says will be a
dandy and I'll give you a show
every night thereafter to come
help buy me out--until packed.
This sale has been a real hum
mer. People are buying all day.
Never again will they have the
chanoe to stock up with prizes or
i
next year's Xmas presents, or the
many pretty and needful things
we carry. We still have about
$8,000 worth on hand and I dread
to pack it; that's why I am sac
rificing It.
Shows are a help to any com
munity. They stimulate other
business by getting people out
They help retain people in town
and to bring others to winter here.
Boost with all your might for your
show houses. Give them the en
couragement of your presence and
you'll get your money's worth two
ways. Business will be "lulled"
during my last show. At 9 o'clock
all the restaurants will close and
Williard Scott promises to lock
the Jail.
Manager Pinkus tells me he
will close the Orpheum and with
his trusty house committee will
occupy the bald-headed row. Now
that shows a kindly spirit—shake,
old man; but don't forget to tell
your friends about the closing out
sale of Stud's jewelry stock.
The Moose dance will begin af
ter my first show and it is expeot
ed that a special boat will come
over from the Post.
I have about all this stock
marked and will begin packing
Monday.
Meet me at the show.

GAMBLING CAU8ED
FAIRBANKS MURDER
HI
Borisa M. Rakovcvichc, a Slav
onian, was recently sentenced by
Judge Overflcld at Fairbanks to
.serve 25 years in the penitentiary
at McNeil's island, for the murder
of Fred Sellers. The murder look
place in a room where gambling
was permitted and Judge Over
fleld took occasion to reprove the
citizens generally, as well as the
court officials, himself included,,
for having permitted the causes
which led to the murder, to-wit:
He said limy were in a measure
responsible for Ihe death of the
young man. Sellers, in thai gamb
ling existed at the lime in the
jdistrict. They knew that gamb
ling was carried on in the cigar
stores, hul were unable lo sup
press it because of the attitude
of ihe public; the unwillingness
of Ihe citizens lo give I hem aid.
In I lie same manner, said Ihe
jcourl, he fell that every man in
Ihe court room was partially re
sponsible for the death of the
hoy, because they had not ful
filled their duties as citizens and
assisted the officers in suppress
ing gambling.
The murder for which Rako
eeviche stands convicted occur
red in a back room of Ihe Imper
ial cigar store about \ o'clock on
Ihe morninK of June I 4th. Fivd
Sellers, known as the Maker Kid,
was playing poker with llnkoee
viche ni the lime. Ilakoccvichc,
with three kings in his hand, call
ed Sellers, who, lo see Ihe Slav's,
hand, said. "Thai is good." llak J i
oceviche laid down his baud and
slarted lo take in Ihe money, when
Sellers showed a heller hand and
took Ihe pot. This appeared to
anger Hakoce.viclm, who does notj
have much nf an understandings
of English, and wtio may have
th- tight he was imposed upon 2
He hurled tho chips into Seller*'
face, and the Maker Kid in return
leaned across Ihe table and struck
Hakocevlchn with his fist. The
latter drew a revolver and fired
three shots, one of which peno,->
Ira tod Sellers' abdomen, causing
his dcalji in a few minutes.
