Trip NOME, Alaska, Feb. 3.— (By The Associated Press.) —Fatigued after two days’ loss of sleep and exhausted from driving a team of dogs sixty miles to Nome through a blinding blizzard for seven and one-half hours in order to deliver 900,090 units of diphtheria anti-tox- in yesterday, Gunnar Kasson was asleep today. Kasson accomplished. a feat sel dom attained by seasoned mushers of the sub-arctic. For two days he wait: ed on the trail at Bluff with thir- teen dogs to transfer serum shipped from Anchorage via Nenana from Olsen's relay dog team. When: Olsen's team trotted into Bluff with the precious load of diph- theria’ anti-toxin, intended to check the spread of the dreaded disease in Nome, the bundle was transferred to Kasson's sled. Despite a temperature of 28 de- grees below zero and a blizzard fan: ned by a stiff wind, Kasson carried on. The storm and darkness prevent: ea him from meeting Fred Rohn at Solomon for the last short relay dash into Nome. He kept up the pace, however, and reached here, at day- break. Four dogs in his team were badly frozen. ohn arrived before noon from Solomon after he learned Kasson had missed him. Leonard Seppalla. undefeated musher of the north, met a relay team at Shaktolik east of Norton Sound and carried the anti-toxin to Golofnin, on the north shore of Norton Sound, Bering Sea, where Olsen took up the race. Jo word has been received from Seppalla. The former Finnish athlete is expected to return slowly, rest- ing at villages to feed his tired dogs. A portion of the serum, frozen on its arrival, was thawed out yes: terday afternon and used on pat- fents, Dr. Curtis Welch said he could not tell if the anti-toxin had deter- forated until the effects were check- ed. Word was received from Fair. banks that extensive preparations have been made to prevent tht treez- ing of. 1,100,000 ainits of anti-toxin, shipped Saturday from Seattle on the Steamship Alameda to Seward, and then to Nenana on the Alaska railroad.

MEXICANS IN BATTLE ROYAL, SEVEN JAILED Blood Runs in Free- For-All Staged on South Spruce Visions of Mexican insurrections of the Diaz regime flashed before the Police officers last; night at 10 o'clock when they were called to quell a small riot in the 400 block on Solth Spruce. When the officers arrived about 20 yelling, cursing Mexicans were engaged in a glorious free-for all in the darkness of the yard. Several prisoners were captured by the four policemen, but as some of them spoke no English and the rest very little the cause of the trouble has not yet been determined. 1t is believed that a drunken brawl pre- cipitated it and the natives of the southern republic decided to settle it in the wide open spaces of the yard. About one minute after the riot squad arrived on the scene Mexicans could be seen flying in every direc tion Officer Ideen grabbed two on the spot, Officer Zook chased another down an alley and Officers and Baker, following a quar nto the house found the ole four stretched out the Feb, 3.— Margaret W. on Some of the participants were cut and bleeding freely, so the blood- stains on the prisoners would indi- cate, but who it was has not been ascertained, The police department searched that part of the city thor- oughly later in the evening and could find no clue. All of the seven prisoners showed signs of conflict and they all are heing held tn jail charged with being drunk and causing a disturbance. They gave the names of Joe Tores, Joe Gougeo, Sec. Arara, Michael Aureos, C. P. Ara, P. Pasquala and M. Riselli A search of the prisoners re- vealed not a rent of money fn the crowd, Their most material pos- sessions were two key rings and a meal ticket which had been used. Two blood stained knives were found in the house but all the men denied possession of them, RAC Cave Rescue Work Rushed to Free Man Crushed by Rock TRIBUNE REVEALED TO SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS AS INSTITUTION WITH LARGE PAYROLL IN YEAR The Tau Gamma Gamma class of the Christian church editéd last Sat- urday’s Tribune and the boys and girls who actually worked on the day's paper made some startling dis- coveries according to Crandal) Grimes, the editor-in-chief for the day. The following is a copy of the report made out by Mr. Grimes con- cerning the Tribune, for the benefit of the class: “The Casper Dally Tribune, which paid out salaries in excess of $100,- 000 and distributed in Casper more than a quarter of a million dollars in total operation in 1924, is a bigger organization than the majority of lo- cal people imagine. “In our perusal of the Tribune rec- ords we found that the paper gives employment to 60 people whose total! dependents number more than 200. In addition to these full time .em- ployes the paper has 51 regular route carriers serving the city of Casper and its environs. These carriers, as a whole, are dependent on their route earnings to put‘them through school.

Quealey of- Kemmerer were confirmed as members of the board of trustees of the U. senate. niversity of Wyoming by the Senator Myers introduced a peculiar bill, Semate File 56, which permits parents or guardians to give religious instruction to min- ors under their charge. It has been the general impression that parents and guardians have enjoyed this right. Now if the good senator's bill required parents and suarcians to do this thing, {t would have been more to the point.
