Gathered From Territorial
Exchanges.
Anchorage is now assured of a new
Siigh school building, voters of that
»city having expressed their desire to
Ibond the municipality for $50,000 at
si special election held a few days ago.
-It took three elections to put the
.■school proposition across, proponents
«of the bond issue failing to muster
itht necessary 65 per cent of votes re
quired by law at the two elections
Steld last year.
Plans for the new building will be
drawn up as soon as possible, but it
'will probably not be until a year from
mow that the new structure will be
iavailahle for use.
Judge E. Coke Hill and the other
imembers of the Third division court
;party, following a session at Seward
lasting for several weeks, have now
ireti.rned to Valdez, the Seward calen
«dar having been concluded.
The last case to be brought before
tthe court was a civil action in which
Arthur Frame, Anchorage attorney,
was the plaintiff, and J. A. Magill,
icanneryman, defendant. Frame’s suit
was brought under the libel law and
Ihe was awarded judgment in the
samixunt of approximately $1,000.
Frame’s libel action agoinst the
^Anchorage Times was ordered dis
missed.
The case of .Karl Armstrong, sen
tenced to 15 years for manslaughter,
■\will he taken to the court of appeals.
'The higher court will also review' the
Premier coal mine case, final details
(for appealing being settled just be
ifore the court party left.
Three Anchorage residents ran
lafoul of the law a few days ago, and
mil three were given time to think it
»over in jail when they pleaded guilty
tto violating the dry law.
Official visitation was made upon
tthem by a party composed of Deputy
(Marshals H. J. Staser and John Par
jsons, Chief of Police Walter Brewdng
tton and Assistant U. S. Attorney
♦Clyde R. Ellis. They were first re
ceived by J. H. Conway at the latter’s
ssecond-hand establishment, where a
search disclosed a quantity of moon
shine, home brew and wine.
From there the party moved on to
tthe Golden Rule, where Mrs. Leonard
Taylor was arrested for having in her
possession whiskey, wine and heer.
Alleged to be a selling agent, Rob
<eirt Peterson was picked up by the
•raiding paty. He pleaded guilty when
(brought before U. S. Commissioner
'Thomas C. Price and was given 90
clays in jail. Mrs. Leonore Taylor
was given three months and fined
$300, and a similar sentence was im
posed on Conway.
The case of Guy A. Burch, sen
tenced in commissioner’s court at
Fairbanks about a month ago to a
year in jail and fined $1,000 following
his conviction for violation of the
Alaska bone dry law, has been ap
pealed to the District .Court. Appeal
bonds in the sum of $2,500 were fur
nished, and Burch, who has been in
jail since sentence was passed, was
released from custody, says the Fair
banks News-Miner.
No appeal has been taken in the
case of Mrs. Burch, who received a
similar sentence. tlwas the defense
contention during the trial of the two
that Burch had no interest in the
Summit Roadhouse, which was raided
by federal officers early last month,
and that he worked there mrely in
the capacity of a hired man.
Louis Odin of .Nushagak not only
proved to be a clumsy thief but a bum
liar when he went into the shop-lift
ing game here on July 4,” says a dis
patch to the Seward Gateway from
Kodiak. Continuing, the dispatch
says: “As a result he is due for a
: year in the local bastille as the guest
o| the government. •' ,*
“Louis lifted several dresses from
; the counter of a local store while the
1 nliiflrc urorn luicv witVt tV»n lioti/loir
| rush. He was unduly anxious to cash
in on his haul and offered the gar
ments for sale within a few minutes
i after he swiped them. He offered
: them for which is the price of
three ! - . .. Kodiak moonshine,
but it viously a bargain that
would • ' users became suspi
cious u:.. . . ^rted the matter.
“Louis demanded a jury trial and
was ably defended by John Coffey,
but even that astute barrister was
helpless when Louis testified that he
bought the dresses from a native at
a bargain for $9 and was trying to
ocer them at a bargain for $9.”
Visits of Anchorage boys and girls
to the Lake Otis resort, where they
are said to have obtained liquor, led
to a raid being made on the resort
recently. A quantity of moonshine
anti beer were found by the raiding
officers, and John Korth, Charles
Carlson and Petei' Close, owners of
the place, were arrested.
When the ,yappeared before United
States Comm ssione- Thomas C.
Price, Carlson was sentenced to six
months and fined $300, and Close was
let off with a fine of $500, the court
permitting him to remain at liberty
so that he might harvest the crops on
the Lake Otis farm.
