aroused suspicion and led to his
arrest.
This morning Judge Brown
handed down an opinion in the case
of L. H. Woodman vs. Edw Erick
son, and as a result that case and
three others involving property in
the Susbannh, will not go to trial at
the present term. The question in
volved was brought up in the
demurrer of plaintiff to the answer
of defendant. The claim at issue
was located by defendant on June
20, 1913, by Mrs. Wales, through
power of attorney, which was not
filed of record until August 17. The
defendant contended that this was
a compliance of the law, and as a
consequence that the plaintiff had
no valid action. The court ruled
that the plaintiff’s motion to strike
this allegation be denied, as the
power of attorney was recorded
prior to the recording of the location
notice and within 90 days from date
of the discovery: and that the plain
tiff was not misled or prejudiced by
the failure to record the power of
attorney sooner.
Mrs. H. D. Foster was a passenger
from Seattle on the Evans. She will
take the train on Thursday for Mc
Carthy. There she will meet her

pine creek on Copper mountain.

Denting Wheeler spent several
weeks In Cordova last fall, and his
team of dogs became generally
known. He went into the interior
and is soon to return to the coast,
as the following from the Fairbanks
News-Miner indicates:
“Mr. Wheeler, the banker from
Terra Haute, ndiana, who left home
last winter to mush through the
wilds of Alaska, and who at Fair
banks took on Harry Karstens as
guide and struck across country, is
back in Fairbanks much pleased
with his outing. Mr. Wheeler grew
tired of Terry Hut and its sameness,
and decided to spend a year or more
hunting in Alaska. At Seward he
bought a dog team and went from
there to Cordova, from which point
he mushed his dogs to Fairbanks.
Here he took Harry Karstens, the
veteran guide, musher and mountain
climber, and struck off into the
interior of Alaska over the unbroken
snow. They traveled first down the
trail to Tanana and Ruby, and from
there they struck off into the un-!
broken country to spy out a good |
hunting ground for future business. !
They traveled for nearly three j
months, breaking trail most of the
time and striking the base of Mts.
McKinley and Foraker, but no hunt-'
ing ground was found that seemed
desirable. From here Mr. Wneeler
goes to the coast with his dog team,
and may spend the summer hunting
bear along the coast.”

On Friday last Ray Millard took
to Valdez a gold brick valued it
$8,500, from the Granite Gold Min
ing Company’s mine on Hobo bay, in
the Port Wells district. This is the

Wells district and attracted much at
tention. The brick is the result of
a clean-up from a twelve day run
with a 7-foot slow speed Lane mill.
The ore run through was taken from
the tunnel and shaft 190 feet below
the surface and averaged approxi
mately $42.00 per ton. The ore
body shows a width of seven feet
in the bottom of the shaft.

KANSAS CITY, April 7.—Yester
day Dr. Hyde was to have gone to
trial again for the murder of his
friend Colonel Swope. The case,
however, was continued pending a
decision from the supreme court on
an appeal taken by the taxpayer?
who protest against any further ex-:
pense in the trial of Hyde. At
three previous trials the jury failed
to agree and the taxpayers contend
that each time it is more difficult to ,
secure a conviction.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., April 2.— ;
A disastrous fire swept through this
city last evening. It got a good

reached the scene and a wind car

destroyed a number of residences,
the court house, and various tourist
hotels, including the Florida, Mun
