Alaska Notes
Gathered From Territorial
Exchanges.
Distinct gains in the weight of the
individual members of the her d of
muskoxen brought to the Terrjtoyy
from Greenland, last* year is notdd in
report? from .the Alaska Agricultural
College ut Fairbanks*
After' a summer o n Coldstream
Hill, a portion of which constitutes
the summer pasture of the Biological
Survey, the herd was taken to the
winter pasture of the College, where
it was. found that the. 3-year-old ani
mals ’had made an average gain in
weight of between 80 and 85 pounds'
during the summer, and the 2-year
olds • had gained' an average of be
tween 102 and 112 pounds in the
same time. The weight of. the heavi
est animal at the time of the hejrd’s
arrival was 226 pounds, and the, same
animal, still the heaviest, is pow 44?
pounds.
Ten years in the, .Feeral penitent
tiarjt at McNeil’s Inland Was the sen
tence imposed on John P. Freihage in
the District court at Fairbanks.
It was the second time Freihage
had ’stood before the bar to be sen
tenced for the identical crime, says
? the Fairbanks News-Miner.
When he did so ih 1931 Judge Cecil
. H. Clegg gave rim the maximum sen
tence of 20 years.
Yesterday Judge E. Coke Hill took
into cow-id ration the jury's recom
mendation for lenieney
The crime for which Freihage was
convicted was the killing of Mrs.
Emily Big Joe, Indian woman of
Ruby, in September, 1930. It was
charged and proved in so far as two
juries were concerned that she died
as the result of a terrific beating re
ceived from him.
Following his first conviction for
manslaughter Freihage appealed to
the Circuit Court at San Francisco
and won a new trial. In that trial,
l concluded a few days ago, it was
ruled by the court that he could not
be convicted of either first or second
degree murder, his exoneration on
those charges by the previous jury
having freed him from further jeop
' ardy.
i.'j'iThe time Freihage has already
: sai^yed will^ net reduce the sentence
just imposed upon him.
. Nellie Beery, postmaster at Haines,
was arrested there recently on a se
; cret. indictment of the grand jury and
in lieu of $3,000 bail was taken to
Getchikan. She is charged with fail
ing to account for an dturn over, pos
tal funds to the postoffice inspector.

charge of the Point Barrow station.

i-rived at Fairbanks a few days ago,.
‘Harrow Morgan was born, at,Barrow
and this is his first trip .to. the big

kan a few days ago against Federal
Judge Justin W. Harding, * asking
5100,000 damages
