Moccasin Case Decided
in Favor of Plaintiff
The Nenana moccasin case, which
was taken into eourt by W. S. Thomp
son on appaal from the decision of the
Nenana school board, was decided* in
favor of the plaint iff bv Dist rict Judge
Cecil H. Clegg at the conclusion of a
hearing held in Fairbanks, saya the
Nenana News. The judge, in making
his decision, said, in eifect, that inas
much as-it is the custom of the North
to wear moccasins he did not feel that
he could uphold the action of the Ne
naoa school board in prohibiting their
use by children attending school, so
long as the foutwear is clean and sani
tary. i
The case attracted considerable .at
tention in Fairbanks, and when the
hearing started the court room was
crowded to capacity, it being necessary
to bring iD necessary chairs to accom
mndato the spectators.
The cf. S. marshal’s forces at Fair
banks made two successful raids a few
days ago, Two complete operating,
stills were captured, together with con
siderable “white mule” and a largo
quamity of mash. •The suspected own
ers of one of the outfits, Sam Horton
aDd Peter Amestoy, residing on Hall
street near the Smith ice house, werei
| not home when, the officers called and
were not apprehended. Eugene Trav
eler and Dick (Jrevton were taken into
custody during the night in connection
with a raid on Garden Island. - Both of
the men are in jail. The first raid
yielded 25 gallons of mule and 40Ggab
Ions of mash, and the night raid gave
up5 gallons of mule and 150 gallons -of
mash. One of the stills is an np-to
date affair, with automatic attachment]
and all the things-that uo with a rig o?.i
'that kind.
