this morning. ftp
R, A. Kinzie, of Treadwell, was ap
pointed foreman and H. S. Wilcosen,
bailiff of the grand jury.
The following petit jurors were ex
cused for the term:
E. C. Russell, John Zavodsky, Wil
liam Lundquist, William Deyo, I. L.
Osborne, II H. Stirling and Joe Du
mas.
The petit jurors were excused until

United States District Attorney J. J.
Boyce, Assistant District Attorney J.
H. Day, George C. Heard, L. P. Shac
kleford and E. M. Barnes, of the Ju
neau bar, arrived on the Georgia yes
terday ana will remain here during the
term of the district court. They will
be joined on the arrival of the Hum
boldt by R W. Jennings and J. H.
Cobb.
The court is bearing motions this
afternoon.
There are 16 civil suits and six crim
inal cases to occupy the| attention of
the district court for the present term
in addition to whatever the grand jury
might bring up for the court.
The principal cases in point of inter
est that are pending are the suits
against those who are accused of cut
ting timber from government land and
I of buying timber so cut. These cases
were postponed until the present term
of court from the July term. There
are three cases, the plaintiff in each in
stance being th<> United States and the
defendants beir g Charles Nye and the
Northwest Light & Power Company,
The Alaskan & Northwestern Territor
ies Trading Company and J. Bernard
Moore, doing business as the Moore
Wharf Company, and the Alaskan &
Northwestern Territories Trading Com
pany and William Leslie.
An other interesting case is the
suit of H. O. Peterson against
the Moore townsite people to
compel the latter to exchange a
deed for the lot at the corner
of State street and Fourth avenue for a
mortgage, the latter to be dated from
the time the townsite people were ten
dered the mortgage rather than from
January 20, 1902, and to continue for
two years. This case is similar to the
one tried at the last term of the court
in which Jacob Perl was the plaintitT.
The case was won by Perl. These suits
test a difference of opinion as to the
construction of the agreement that was
entered into between the Moore town
site people and the citizens of Skagway
at the time the latter dropped their
protest to the application of the former
for a townsite patent. The plaintiffs
claim that the Moore townsite people
under the agrement are required to
make an actual tender of a deed for
, each parcel of land in the 'townsite and
that the claimant for the land has two
years after that time in which to pay
the agreed price, 25 per cent of the
assessed valuation for 1900.
There are three divorce cases on the
docket, Hannah C. Lundquist against
Elmer Lundqist; Frank L. Cochran
against Catherine Cochran and Char
lotte Kaute-te against Sam Kaute-te.
Other civil cases are those of
M. W. Lane against T. R.
Sewell; W. B. Glafke Company,
Company, of Tacoma, against Charles
Martic; W. H. Spencer against Tom
Valeur; Reuben Shearer against C. T.
Alexander; George Clark against J. M.
Tanner and Orise Ronkendorf against
John L. Gage & Co.
