Haslop Acquitted.
After a second trial, George Has
lop. who made a reputation for
himself here last year, has heen ac
quitted by a jury in the federal
court, at Seattle, of the charge of
sending a scurrilous postal card to
C. W. Boynton. When the ense
was tried last march, the jury dis
agreed. Considerable interest has
Wen taken in the case, and it has
cost the government a large amount
of money.
Haslop la-longed to a religious
society, the memWrs of which came
forward in his defense, and he was
also given assistance by the men
who had served with him in the
Philippines.
A hand-writing expert employed
by the government was positive
that the writing on the postal card
was the same as that admitted to
have Wen produced l»y the pen of
the defendant. The jury disagreed
on the first trial and a new one
was ordered. At the second trial
the jury concluded that in view ol
the lack of direct evidence the de
fendant should have the Wncfit of
the doubt, and acquitted him.

▲ Hot Time in Sunrise.
On July 31 there was a ball given
at Sunrise under the management
of Mr. H. A. Smith. The time was
almost too numerous to mention.
The town was reserved for the oc
casion and was highly decorated.
There were about twenty-five
couples present, including Mr. and
Mrs. Shepard, who were going to
the States, Capt. Shaw and wife, P.
D. Blodgett and J. T. Wagner. The
music was of various kinds, being
from the piano, guitar, banjo, man
dolin and fiddle. The operators
were all mushers.
Most of those present had just
returned from the mines on Crow
creek, and any old time was a g«wd
time. It might have heen a dry
time were it not for Mrs. Hill, who
contributed two barrels of beer for
the occasion.
The boys who have spent the
season on Crow creek report the
prospects as being very good. They
expect to do a big winter’s work
there. Two hundred tons of outfits
have already been landed on the
creek for use during the coming
winter, when it is expected that a
good showing will be made.
The Reception.
The reception tendered to the
Rev, F. S. Taylor, last Friday at
the Moose hail, was a success in
