Nothing is more obvious than
this, that the miners with their
engines and the lawyers with their
'’‘enjoins” are bound to have a col
lision in this country pretty soon.
Unless congress gives relief to tin
mining operators in the immediate
future the miners will begin to use
their picks on the lawyers instead
of on the ledges.—Tratisciipt.
Gets Twenty-five Years.
Twenty-five years in the peni
tentiary at McNeil’s island is the
sentence that Bailey, the murderer
* i McIntosh, will have to serve.
Bailey was before the court at ten
o’clock this morning to hear sen
tence pronounced. When asked
what reason he could present why
sentence should not he passed up
on him, he said he relied entirely
upon the evidence in his favor at
the trial and had nothing further
to say. The judge in commenting
on the case said that too many
Tuen have been taking advxntage
of the insanity defense to escaj e
punishment for their crimes, and
in his opinion, whether insane or
not, a dangerous man should he
confined where he could do no
damage, and sentenced him to 25
years in prison. ,
The case in ejectment of the One
Man Mining Co. vs. Murray, which;
was presented to the court in briefs, I
was decided in favor of the plain
tiff. The Judge stated that the
fai«ure of the defendants to proper
ly mar< the boundaries, and their
location of claim on ground al
ready located, invalidated their
claim.
At eight o’clock this evening the
matter of the granting of liquor
licenses in the town will be con
sidered by the judge, and instruc
tions have been issued to require I
the presence of the protestants at
that time, particularly Revs. Tay
lor and Burnett* Those favoring]
granting the applications will also
be heard.
Court will adjourn tonight, the
judge leaving for Juneau on tlie
Portland tomorrow.
The trial jury was dismissed
this afternoon.
Northwestern Wrecked.
Another one of the steamers o?
the Northwestern Steamship Co. is
a wreck. This time it is the North
western, which ran on a reef near
Beatson wharf at Latouehe island,
at 7:30 Tuesday morning, as six
was leaving for Cordova, enroute
to Valdez.
While leaving the small bay a
Hurry of wind caught her and
•brew the how onto a reef. She
s id up easily and hun^ fast, every
endeavor to pull her off being with
out avail. As the tide low< red she
settled onto the rocks, which per
forated her how and the forward
compartments soon filled. She
laid on the rocks with the passen
gers all aboard until the arrival of
I the Portland Thursday morning
when the mail and express and
passengers were transferred and
brought to Valdez, reaching here
last night.
The forward compartment is
loaded with steam coal for Valdez,
and all of the other freight for this
place, 250 tons, is in the after com*
paitments which, when the Port
land left, were still dry. In case a
wind from the northwest or south
west does not start up, the freight
may be all saved and will be
brought here on the Santa Clar; ,
If such a wind should arise, how
ever, it is very likely that the ves
sel will be wrenched so hard that
the partition seperaling the for
ward and after holds will he
broken, and that will mean the loss
of all the freight, as the whole.
vessel will fill. There is now IT
feet of water in the forward hold,
the rocks protruding clear through
into tie* vessel. All of the coal in
that section will he a loss'.
Captain Truebridge and Purser
Triggs came in on the Portland to
report to the home ofliee. They
will return to the wreck oh the
Santa Clara.
A n mber o gasoline tanks win
be taken from ln-r^ 10 be used in
endeavoring to raise the how after
the cargo is discharged, so that the
vessel can be freed irom the rocks
and beached, but C-apt. Truebridge
stites that lie does not believe she
can be floated without the assis
tance of a wrecking vessel.
Following were the passengers
on the Northwestern at the time of
the wreck: H E Reveil, Ed Low
