OLD-TIMER IN TROUBLE
On the complaint of Robert
Johnson, foreman of the Dan
Creek Mining Company, Clifford,
Cayouette was charged with
wilful assault, under Section
1904, on the morning of the 24th
September.
The preliminary hearing was
held before Judge Coppernoll
last Wednesday. Attorney Med
ley appeared for the prosecu
tion and Attorney Murray for
the defence.
Robert Johnson, Carl Carlson
and Oscar Challman stated that
on the morning in question they
were all working on a flume on
Dan Creek when they were
startled by the whistling of a
bullet, followed very shortly af
terwards by another one. did
not pay much attention to the
first one but ran to cover when
the second one came close
enough to make it dangerous
to stay in the vicinity.
Martin Rodavan, for the de
fence, stated that. he was on
his way up the creek and had
heard about the trouble and
meeting the defendant, asked
him about it, who replied that
he did not know why the men
had quit the cut. He stated tho,
he had shot at a squirrel in a
tree below his cabin and if I
would examine the tree I would
see wherethe squirrel had fallen.
I did later make an examinat
ion in company with James Mu
rie, saw where a bullet had graz
the tree and where the squirrel
had fallen on the ground.
This evidence was corroborat
ed by James Murie, an expert on
the habits of these animals,
stating to the Court that he had
had fifty years of experience, &

sons clean-up, was a visitor to
McCarthy this week.

valuable property on Young
creek, is spending a few days
in town.
Three slabs of bacon, one ham
and several pounds of meal were
destroyd by squirrels at his
camp on Young Creek this sea
son, states Joe Murray.
This makes another expense
to the already over-burdened
prospector.
Mr, Murray represented Cliff
Cayouette in the Commissioner’s
Court this week. ;
Walter Quon Eng, who was
employed as chef by the Beach
hunting party in the interior,
returned this week, via the
Government Railroad and Cor
dova. While in Anchorage he
met Jimmy T. Cheese, looking
like a million dollars.
Many other former residents of
McCarthy were also seen in An
chorage, all prosperous.
Attorney E. F. Medley, of Cor
dova, made a special trip to Me
Carthy this week to represent
Robert Johnson and the other
complainants in Court.
NOTICE
The misuse of justice in my
case is too well known for com
ment. In the burden
which has been put upon me
there is a ray of light which
fills my heart. I find more
friends in McCarthy than I knew
I had. I take this means to
thank them all.
Clifford Cayouette.
