JUDGES. COURT CLERKS AND
OTHER MEN OF PROMINENCE.
Prosecutions for alleged illicit
; liquor selling has been instituted at
Valdez against men of prominence
in various parts of the country.
The trial of these men will be held
in April at which the judge of the
■ First division will preside, the
' judge of the Third division being
disqualified to try the cases.
Subpoenas have been issued for
the following: Federal Judge F. E.
Brown, Arthur Land, court clerk, I
Hamburg, court reporter, U. S. Com
missioner G. J. Love and Lieub
Colonel W. P. Richardson.
The defendants in the first suit
are Sam Blum, a well known bank
er and merchant of Seattle and Al
aska; James A. Lathrop. owner of
the Valdez dock and a prominent
mining man. and Lieut L. S. Kun
zig. an officer of the United States
army and secretary of the Alaska
Road Commission. The defendants
are at liberty on bail- Since the
arrest, Lieutenant Kunzig has been
assigned to the Philippines for
duty, and Lieutenant-Colonel Rich
ardson, president of the Alaska
Road Commission, and witness in
the first case and d efendant in
the second one, which has been
b: ought against the club as a whole,
according to a Washington dispatch,
was assigned to duty- on the Mexi
] -an border.
The prsoecutions are based on a
tuimg of the United States circuit
court of appeals which last Novem
ber decreed that clubs in Alaska
should pay a license the same as
saloons. The defendants were
j members of the house committee of
the Tillikum Club. They allege that
the Tillikum Club was closed as
soon as the ruling of the court was
received at Juneau, but Federal At
torney Spence brought his prose
cutions under a clause in the law
which makes the defendants punish
able on a separate count for every
day the club remained open for two
years preceding the decision of the
higher tribunaL

CRUSHED IN THE MINE.
(Juneau Empire.)
As the result of an accident
last (Friday) night in the Mexican
mine at Treadwell, James Gunn is
dead and William Smith is eonfh.ed
to his home in Douglas with a very
painful injury to his right ieg- The
accident was caused by a falling
rock from a drift while the two men
were going through the tiu.ie.
Gunn was employed in Lie Mex
ican mine but was noj on shift at
the time of the accident, having
gone into the mine for the ourpose
cshowing the sigkto underground
tv Mr. Smith who is an oiler at
tl t Mexican compress- r.
According to the ofiicial renort
the men were met f>.< Foreman Peter
Johnson, who asked if they had per
mits to go underground, and the.,
stated that they did not. Mr. John
son told them they would have to
secure a permit before they could
go through. The men, however, in
stead of gettiiflr permission, waited
at the collar of the shaft and went
down with a cage-load of miners
i short time after
t Tk; rock fell shortly before ten
; 'clock white they were going thru
as old drift and Gunn was «*."ushed
1 eneath it. The alarm was given
and the men were rushed to the
hospital where Gunn died shortly
after his arrival.
James Gunn was about 30 years
of age and is survived by a mother
and sister in England, a brother on
the McKenzie River, and brother
with the British forces in France.
