Saturday afternoon Judge F. M.
Brown handed down his decision In
the Costello and Bollinger vs. Purdy
ease In favor of the plaintiffs. This Is
onesffthe Shashanna btntng eases,
and Involved the title to a mining
elaim tn the Shashanna district lo
cated by powef of attorney by one
Oates and Purdy. The plaintiffs, al
leging that the claim was not legal
ly located because of the fact that the
power of attorney under which the
claim was located was not recorded
until after the location, restaked the
claim. At the time the several Shu
shanna cases were tried at Cordova
in March, 1914, It was stipulated by
counsel, to save time, that judgment
In this case should be taken by ei
ther side In accordance with the de
cision In the Sutherland vs. Purdy
case. In which thi action was brough*
on similar grounds, and which was
appealed to the Appellate Conrt. The
decision of that court was that the
location by Oates was not valid be
cause the claim was located before
the power of attorney had been re
corded. In accordance with this deci
sion and the stipulation, Messrs.
Lyons & Ritchie and Donohoe & Di
mond, attorneys for the plaintiffs,
moved the Court for a decision in ac
cordance with the stipulation, and
after hearing the argument qt coun
sel for the plaintiffs and of Attorney
'M. D. Leehey, for the defendant, the
Court gave his decision in favor of
the plaintiffs.
The case of Mary Diffley vs. Mark
Diffley, was also taken up. The tes
timony of the plaintiff and of several
witnesses, taken before a referee, was
read, and a decree of divorce was
granted the plaintiff. The plaintiff in
this action is a resident of McCarthy.
There being no business before the
Court this morning, an adjournment
was taken until 10 o’clock tomor
row morning.

WICK 18 AFTER WHITE
FA8S AND Gl’GGEN HEIMS
WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 19.—
Former Delegate James Wickersham
of Alaska has filed a petition asking
for a rehearing of the Alaska Freight
Rate cases by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. In the former
hearing Wickersham urged that all
transportation companies in Alaska
were controlled by the Guggenhelms
aud that they showed discrimination
in freight rates. The commission held
against the contention.
Wickersham now alleges that the
rates on the White Pass and on the
Copper River and Northwestern Rail
way are so high that ihey are cur
tailing the output of copper, and he
is asking that the rates be reduced
by the Interstate Commerce Commia
sion.
