KEHOE IN JAIL,
BUT NOT OUSTED
Having reserved .1 decision the day before, and having meanwhile
viewed the premises whereon the offense was committed, Justice Galla
her last Friday fined John Kelioe $50 and costs for removing and de
stroying certain town-lot fencts not his own. In default of payment
the defendant was committed to jail.
Kehoe Utilized a portion of the fences in adding 57 feet to his own
property along its entire length. He also opened a 30 foot street on
the south side of his newlv-laid out premises. The following diagram
will give a fair'y accurate idea of the changes he effected in the Tauana
town plat:

Notwithstanding that he is in jail, Kehoe is now in possession of a
goodly portion of newly acquired real estate, and Third street has a
westerly extension, even though there are harriers at the extension's
ends, it will involve any one ;n either a crime or a lawsuit who tin
dertakes to establish the oiiginal condition or make turther changes in
tiie plans of that portion of the city beautiful. Just where the com

CIVIL-WAR RELIC IN
THE LOCAL COURT
Last Friday forenoon at 10 o’clock
John Kehoe appeared in the local
•court to hear the decision of the jus
tice of the peace in an action tried the
■day before wherein Kehoe was charged
with maliciously destroying certain
town-lot fences.
Justice Gallaher said that he had
viewed the premises whereon the con
tention arose, and would fine Kehoe
$50 and costs, approximating $8?.
“Will you take pay in installments?”
asked the defendant.
Justice Gallaher explained that there
is no law authorizing the payment of
fines on the installment plan, but said
he had no desire to work an unneces
sary hardship on any one and would
accept an approved bond guaranteeing
payment within a reasonable time.
“All right,” said Mr. Kehoe: “here
is a $10 Confederate bill. Give me
credit for that.’’ And he placed on
the justice's desk a relic of the civil
war, with a corner detached but care
fully laid alongside.
“Now, look a-here,” said the justice;
“you take that thing away from here:
this court has no use fot it.”
“Why,” said Mr. Kehoe, “you gave
it to me and certainly should not refuse
to receive it back again under a cir
cumstance of this kind.”
The court was apparently flustered
for a moment, but with a measure of
composure denoting long practice in
the art of self control Deputy Marshal
Vautier was motioned to lead Mr. Ke
hoe away.
The Bill in Local History
The Leader man, who was an inter
ested spectator, picked up the bill that
has so long survived the tragic times
that called it into- existence. It was
dated some time in 1864 and promised
to be redeemed two years after the
conclusion of a treaty of peace between
the Confederate States and the United
States of America. Before an inspec
tion of it could be completed, Mr. Ke
hoe returned and claimed it and took it
away with him to the federal jail.
The bill got into local history last
spring. Having a payment of fifteen
hundred dollars to make to Mr. Kehoe,
Mrs. M; E. Cooper withdrew several
packages of bills from the safe of the
Rodman-Alaska Trading Company,
where they had been deposited for
safekeeping. Judge Gall&her was pres
ent when the payment was made, and,
Mr. Kehoe being slow at counting the
money, Mrs. Cooper requested the
judge to count it. for- him. Mr. Kehoe
afterward returned with the $10 Con
federate bill: but Mrs. Cooper declined
to make it good. Judge Galluher, be
ing appealed to, said he remembered
seeing an odd-looking bill in the pro
cess of counting, but thought it was
Canadian. Of course he disclaimed re
sponsibility for it, and Mr. Kehoe was,
left the unwilling owner of ten dollars’ j
worth of memento de bellutn.

LOOKED BAD
FOR MINUTE
The alcohol in a lamp hanging
over the pool and billiard tables
of the Gibbon bar flowed too
freely last Sunday evening while
being lighted, and in a second
the ceiling was a mass of flame.
Things looked exceedingly dubi
ous until “Shorty” Woods rushed
in with a long piece of six by
twice scantling and with one vig
orous swipe he knocked the blaze
scorched illuminator across the
room, then grabbed and tossed it
out in the snow. Several other
persons succeeded in quickly
subduing the flames in the ceil
ing, while Mr. Green gave valu
able assistance by hollowing
“tire” with much unction.
The damage to the building is
slight, the “areohol” lamp is
ready for the junk pile, and
“Shorty” Woods’ batting aver
age went up 25 per cent.
