KOPPUS SUFFERS
A BROKEN ANKLE
Popular Mining Man Victim of Pecu
liar Accident While Return
ing From Trip.
Chas. Koppus, the well-known min
ing man, is in the Red Cross hospital
suffering from a broken leg sustained
In a peculiar manner while return
ing from a trip to Wortman’s road
house yesterday afternoon.
While coming through the canyon
Mr. Koppus was running ahead of
the teams when he happened to get
out on a piece of smooth ice. He at
tempted to get off the Ice, fearing a
fall. He was traveling at a good
pace when his foot caught on a sharp
piece of rock which potruded through
the ice, bringing him to a sharp stop
but not throwing him down. When
he attempted to use the limb he
round that it refused to sustain his
weight and examination showed that
the large bone had been broken near
the ankle and that the ankle had
been torn from its socket. He was
brought to the hospital where he im
mediately received treatment. Mr.
Koppus has the sympathy of the com
munity in his misfortune.
The accident marred the remem
brances of one of the jolliest parties
which has taken place during the
present winter.. A large party of
ladies and gentlemen had gone to
Wortman’s Saturday afternoon. The
male members were equipped with
snowshoes and guns and spent the
afternoon hunting. The evening was
spent dancing.
The members of the party were:
Councilman Harry E. F. King and
wife, Ray Larson and wife, E. Erick
son and wife, T. Wendler and wife,
Robert McIntosh and wife, Miss
Lampkin, Billy Date, Chas. Koppus,
Henry Suessdorf and Chas. Day.
HEARD IMPORTANT
CASE IN JUNEAU
During Visit To Juneau Judge Brown
Rendered Ruling In Golden
Belt Case.
While in Juneau recently Judge
Fred M. Brown, at the request of
Judge Jennings, presided at the trial
of one of the most important cases
which have come before the courts
in Alaska. The case involved title
to land which forms a portion of the
townsite of Juneau.
The case was that of the United
States vs. the owners of the Golden
Belt addition, In which the govern
ment attempted to cancel patent to
ground which had been included in
the Fraction lode claim and upon
which many of the palatial residences
of Juneau have been built since the
addition to the Juneau townsite was
put on the market two'years ago.
Judge Brown held that the district
attorney had failed to show that
there had been any fraud on the part
of the owners in securing patent to
,the ground and he sustained the ac
tion of the local land office which
had permitted the land to go to pat
ent.
About $32,000 is said to have been
spent on improvements on the trad
during the past two years. John H.
Cobb, the Juneau attorney who de
fended the owners of the tract
through the courts, secured a one
fifth interest in the ground as his
fee. One residence, the Erickson
home, located in the addition, cost
$9,000.

CROWD LISTENS
TO OISROP ROWE
Congregations of All Valdez Church
es Attend Meeting and Meet
Eminent Worker.
Eagle hall was filled last night and
heard Bishop Rowe, head of the
Episcopal church in Alaska, deliver
one of the best sermons which this
eminent divine has ever preached in
Alaska. Evening services in the Con
gregational church had been cancel
led in order that Rev. Charles S.
Price might assist Rev. Molony In
the services, and that the members
of the Congregational church might
have an opportunity of hearing and
again meeting Bishop Rowe.
Bishop Rowe is now making his reg
ular trip through Alaska and will
visit all the missions in his charge.
Owing to the death of Mrs. Rowe,
after a protracted illnesft. Bishop
Rowe failed to visit interior Alaska
last year for the first time in many
years.
Bishop Rowe left on the Alameda
this morning accompanied by Rev.
Molony, for Cordova. From Cordova
they will go 'to Chitina, where dog
teams will be secured to make the
trip to the Indian mission at Tanana
Crossing. Bishop Rowe expects to
visit Fairbanks and continue on down
the Tanana and Yukon rivers to a
lower river mission, where he will
await the opening of navigation on
the Yukon. The movements of Rev.
Molony were not decided upon when
he left on the Alameda in company
with Bishop Rowe this morning.
The former has proved himself a
splendid musher and it is possible
that he may accompany the bishop
to the interior from Chitina.
While Bishop Rowe was in Juneau
he received a cablegram from Seat
tle stating that one of his sons had
been injured by the explosion of a
lamp which he was carrying. Later
messages assured him that the young
man had sustained no serious injur
ies and that he would fully recover.
