FAGERRUR6 CASE
District Court Reduces Amount of
Judgment But Denies Motion
for New Trial.
The case of H. M. Fagerburg versus
Thomas Carstens came up In the dis
trict'sourt yesterday on a motion for
a n»w trial. The court denied the
motion, but modified the amount of
damages that the jury found for the
plaintiff from $4,725.00 to $3,000.00.
This suit arose from the attach
ment of property by the U. S. mar
shal pending a suit brought by Car
stens for the recovery of money ad
vanced to Al. Fagerburg. It was
claimed that the property attached be
longed to H. M. Fagerburg, a broth
er of the defendant, and the suit was
for restitution and damages. It is
probable that the case will now go
to the circuit court of appeals, which
is the court of last resort in cases
of this character.
Owen Meals received a new Ford
automobile this morning on the steam
er Bertha, and a few minutes after
the boat was tied to the dock Owen
was joy riding up town with a few
of his friends.
This machine adds another to tlie
many gasoline cars now in Valdez.
Owen has secured the selling agency
i for the Ford cars and expects to sell
j several in Valdez during the season.

THE BOSE CITY
Civic League Has Received One Hun
dred Choice Rose Trees Which
Will Be On Sale Saturday.
The Civic League of Valdez is plan
ning to make this town the rose city
of the north. They believe that there
is no reason why roses should not

pression on the minds of the many
tourists who pass through Valdez ev
ery year.
With this end in mind they have
ordered and received on the last Ala
meda one hundred choice bushes, that
have been especially selected both for
their beauty and adaptability to this
northern clime. They have arrived in
excellent condition, and are well pro
tected with soil around the roots.
I
Amongst the varieties are the well
known “Karl Druschki,” “Paul Ny
ron,” “Gen. Jacqueminot,” “Mrs. John
Laing,” “Viscountess Folkstone,”
“Hugh Dickson” and the “Mme. Car
rier.”
The Valdez Mercantile company has
kindly consented to allow the league
the use of the store next Saturday for
the sale of these plants. The price
has been placed at forty cents, which
is very cheap, as the league does not
wish to make any profit on the sale.
