At a meeting of Camp Flat No. 2P>, A. B , held at Flat City
February -1 last, the following resolutions relating to the proposed

unanimously:
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, It appears to Camp Flat No. 20 that the Grand
Camp convention held at North Vancouver in November last made i
certainLunemimonts to the constitution on which they proceeded to
act before the same were ratified by tin* subordinate camps; and
Whereas, The Arctic Brotherhood has been organized in and
recruited from pioneers of the Yukon and Alaska, who are proud
of the local origin of the organization of the Northland; and
Whereas, The organization of camps south of the original
jurisdiction would have the effect of destroying whatever of North
land characteristics there may be about the organization; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That Camp Flat No. 20 repudiates any action of
the Grand Camp in extending or attempting to extend the jurisdic
tion of the order and refuses to be bound by any amendments to
the constitution that have not been ratified by the subordinate
camps, as provided in section 1, article IS, of the constitution; and
be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes
of this meeting and copies thereof forwarded to the Grand Arctic
Chief, the Grand Arctic Recorder, and to Camp Haines No. 20.
Passed at a regular meeting of Camp Flat No. 20, February
4, 191H. C. R PECK, Arctic Chief.

THE
FLAT C!TY
Successor to N. N. Jaffa
Convicted of potty larceny, in that lie
had appropriated two cords of wood to
the value of $20 brlonirmil to Owen M.
Grant. Cornelius ,T. Sullivan, of Flat
City, was last Monday lined $1U0 and
costs amounting to $110,215.
The case was tried before Commis
sioner G. \V. Albrecht and a jury of 10
men, as follows: J. \V. Kempf, A. Boas,
T. L. Thurston, Bob Boole, Dave
Krom, Frank Larson, F. Kern. ,T.
Holmes, H. (). Roden and Thus. Hurst.
Deputy Marshal Turn Iloweil prose
cuted, while L. M. Stanton conducted
the defense.
Owen Grant testified that on Febru
ary 2 his wife called his attention to
the fact that a rew trail had been bro'
ken up to where their wood was piled
on Cottonwood creek, and advised him
to go up and see if the wood had been
taken. He went up and found the
wood gone, while scattered around
were some chips with initials thereon,
which had been chopped off his wood.
There had been three piles of wood
there, two of them belonging to Erick
son and one to himself. Ho noticed
hoof-marks of a small horse anil meas
ered same. He went down town and
saw the wood near Sullivan’s cabin,
some with his initials, O. M.G. still on.
Spoke to him about it, and Sullivan
denied that be had chopped the initials
oft the wood. Sullivan also said he
had bought the wood from Erickson,
and didn’t know how he bad made the
mistake in taking Grant’s wood, but if
he had he was willing to pay for it or
return it. Witness replied that it
would be for the court to settle.
Mrs. Grant testified to having aided
her husband in piling the wood claimed
to have been stolen.
Deputy Marshal Howell related how
he had examined the logs near Sulli
van’s cabin, and found some with
Grant's iditiais on, and others where
initials had been chopped off.
For the defense it, was contended
thal Grant had not proved ownership
of the wood, it being alleged that he
had been in the habit of going around
the country putting his initials 01.
wood which he had not cut. This
Grant denied. The defense also sought
to prove tiiat others than defendant
had chopped Grant's initials from wood.
In support of tins contention John Mc
Cauley testified that lie had found in
itials O. M. G. on some logs of his on
Cottonwood, and had chopped them off'.
But he denied that he ever had done
the same thing with poles.
Lewis F.rickson, of Discovery, testi
fied that Sullivan had come up to see
him about buying some wood on Cot
tonwood creek, and lie had told him lit
could have it. Later on he went down
to Flat to see Sullivan about it and the
latter informed him there was but
three-quarters of a cord up there. So
he accepted payment for that amount.
Cornelius J. Sullivan said that Grant
had come to him and offered to settle
if ha (Sullivan) would pay him $100.
This statement was flatly contradicted
by Grant.
The jury retired to consider their
verdict shortly after 4. It is under
stood that two ballots were taken -the
first of which, it is alleged, standing
eight for conviction and two for ac
quittal.
On the application of defendant’s at
torney a stay of execution was granted
until Wednesday, in order to admit of
perfecting an appeal, but the same not
being filed, Sullivan went to jail. He
must serve 50 days, unless the fine be
sooner paid.
The hearing was enlivened by sev
eral wordy battles between Deputy
Marshall Howell and the attorney for
the defense, and on one occasion the
defendant was so carried away by his
feelings that he, also, jumped to his
feet and took part in the argument.
This prosecution is the first to follow
a series of alleged minor thefts of cord
wood whicii have taken place on the
creeks.
