Partnership Tangle
Is Straightened Out
The case of Miller vs. Clifton arose cut of a partnership entered
into at Fairbanks two years ago, when Miller furnished Mrs. Clifton
with $2,330 for the purpose of coming to the Iditarod. Miller states
that it was understood that the partnership was to include a roadhouse,
restaurant, mining claims and town lots; but Mrs. Clifton said that
only an interest in a coffee house was intended.
A large outfit was purchased by the partnership and taken as far
Clow landing. After reaching Richmond the parties began to quarrel,
and it became incumbent on the marshal to call a meeting and endeavor
to settle the matter. Ed Uhl, Earl Byers and Watrous were appointed
as a committee of three to divide the outfit, which they did in an
apparently impartial manner and as well as they could under the cir
cumstances. Mrs. Clifton had her share hauled away, but Miller let his
remain where it was and somehow it disappeared.
It was Miller’s contention that Mrs. Clifton received all the bene
fit from the partnership arrangement, but with this the Court did not
agree, as the three men who divided the outfit had uudoubteiy done so
in a lair manner. But there was some hesitancy in the mind of the
Court about the money that Miller had paid into the partnership in ex
cess of that paid by Mrs. Clifton, and it was his opinion that when Mrs.
Clifton had paid over $510 Miller had invested it in property at the
mouth of Otter and that the same was partnership property. He gave
the plaintiff the option of taking the property or $510 in cash; each
party to pay own costs.

Witnesses Need Not
Preweed to Fairbanks
When the Redfern perjury case was transferred back to Fair
banks it was understood that several witnesses in the case who re
side in the Iditarod district would have to make the long and ex
pensive journey to the Tanana city in order to testify.
This difficulty has been overcome by Judge Overfield, who has
directed that Iditarod witnesses may make their depositions here
instead of traveling to Fairbanks to give oral testimony in the case.
Among the witnesses so relieved were: Robert Simpson, the
jeweler; J. I. Johnstone, of cigar-store fame; Jerome and Mrs.
Chute, and Cole McDougall.
Blueberry Season Has Arrived
The blueberry season has arrived,
and the luscious and wholesome fruit
is available to all. Alaskan berries
surpass ail others in flavor, being par
ticularly suitable for preserving and
the making of wine. Take a day oil’
and gather a bushel or two. Any
"dough” will tell jou that they’re in
valuable in the winter, when fresh
fruit is unobtainable.

Henry Roden Appointed
Referea in Bankruptcy
One of the last acts of the court
while in session here was to swear in
Attorney Henry Roden as referee in
bankruptcy for Otter precinct.
The appointment is undoubtedly a
wise one, as Mr. Roden is thoroughly
conversant with that branch of law
practice. Moreover, this is his second
offense, as he was the first referee in
bankruptcy to be appointed in Interior
Alaska. It was in the fall of 1900 that
Judge Wickersham selected him for
tlie post in Fairbanks precinct, and
that his duties were satisfactorily per
formed is evidenced by his re-appoint
raent. _
