Daniel (tnggenhei w IV lis Big
Story ou Skagway
New York, Nov. 3? Says Mining
Topics: Daniel Guggenheim tells an
amusing story connected with the visit
of the Guggenheim party to Alaska
during the past summer. He says:
?'The biggest bear I ever saw was at
Skagway. None of the circuses have
such a big bear. Bruin was of the
Kadiak island species and the? had him
in a pen, ou which was the announce
ment that when the bear accumulated
420 he was to be sfet free. The sign also
said that the bear hail soniethiug over
$4 alredy. Naturally it was up to us to
contribute the other $lti to see the bear
his liberty. When bruin was let out he
looked around in a friendly sort of way
and apparently not seeing any one he
knew well, ambied oil toward the hills.
Shortly afterward we left for Dawson,
but when we returned there was the
same monger bear, and this time be
only neeued to gain his freedom.
Apparently he hid arrived unannounced
We were heartless enough to allow him
to remain :>enind the bars this time and
his keeper scowled when he learned
our determination not to see the jwor
beast free again."

FOR MOORES
Judge Guuniaon Rules
Against Peterson
I J udge Gunnison tiled a decision yes
terday in the case of H. O. Peterson
against the Moore townsite porple.
The suit involves the title to the Peter
son lot and building at the corner of
State street and Fourth avenue and the
?'.ecision was for the defendant company.
The case was tried at Skagway last
year.
Peterson did not take advantage of
the agreement allowing tbe holders of
property on the Moore townsite to pay
for their holdings at 25 per cent, of the
assessed valuation, with two years in
which to make the payment, which was
to be secured by a mortgage, at the
time the Moores got their patent and
were in position to give title. More
than two years afterward, he offered
tbe Moores a mortgage and demanded
a deed, claiming that a deed had never
been tendered to him and that he still
had two years in which to make pay
ments.
The townsite company claimed that
Peterson had had notice that he could
have a deed and that a tender, such as
the tender of money, was not ntcessary
The court holds that actual notice
that the townsite company was prepared
to give deeds in exchange for mortga
ges was sufficient, thai a literal tender
was not required.
