Gowey Shepard arrived to take his position as Federal metal mining assistant to B. D. Stewart, Mining Supervisor of Alaska. A meeting of the Pioneers’ Auxiliary was announced to be held in the Odd Fellows' Hall. The Government rested in the case of Japanese M. Suzuki on trial for the murder of a girl employed in a Petersburg cannery. The defense, conducted by James Wickersham, was attempting to prove the Jap was insane. The children of the third and fourth grades of the Douglas schools surprised their teacher, Harriet Sey, at her home and notwithstanding the cold outside, a warm time was had inside the cozy house.
