Chena Lawyer Robbed iu
Skagway
N. L. Bjrtoivfcr nearly two years
city attornev,^ chena, was robbed sev
erul nigftts ag0 in this city and is
cfiE^ietely stranded. Burton does not
know how exactly where the robbei'y
took place but says it was some place
between the Mascot saloon and the
New Home restaurant.
The Chena lawyer came up the river
on the Prospector and arrived ;n Skag
way Mo.jdav evening. He began driuk
ing shortly after arriving in the city
and late iu the evening he wound up at
the Mascot saloon intoxicated almost
to the point of unconsciousness. At
that place ?-man volunteered, he says,
to take him to the New Home res'.au
rant and lodging house. He awoke at
the latter place the next morning to find
his purse, which he says conta ned
$220, had been stolen from theii.jide
pocket of his vest. He says this money
was telegraphed to him for the pui pose
of paying his way to Denver.
Deputy Marshal Johnson is working
on the case and hopes to be successful.
One man, Fred Gush, of Chena, was ar
rested yesterday, but he established an
alibi.

NEW SYSTEM
Fairbanks People Agitating
Tmeu's Titles
The Torren's system of keeping land
i titles has been proposed for Alaska by
the people of Fa'rbanks, and Judge
Wickersham has promised th? people
of that ciiy to look into the matter for
the district and if it shall b-3 deemed
he will feasible to urge it before
congress.
The system '.s commonly known as
the 'Torren's system," from its invent
or, and which originated in Australia.
Its benefit is described as being due to
the fact that the government guaran
tees land titles. Two certificates are
issued, one to the owner of the land and
the other is retained by the govern
ment, Every time a transfer is made
or a mortgage is jiven, it is recorded
i upon the certificate, so that the certifi
: cate, besides being a title to the land,
is a perfect abstract. When a man :
'sells a piece of land his certificate'
shows its record at a glance, and there '
is no question as to the title.
It is believed that now, before there |
are great vested interests in abstract j
books and title insurance companies,
would be a good time to introduce the
Torren'a system in Alaska.
