KOYUKUK GOLD DOST
GOES TO NORAH MOORE
Fairbanks, May 9.-Quite unexp
eotedly the famous Koyukuk gold dust
case came to an end yesterday morning
when Judge Fuller instructed Com
missioner Dillon to turn the property
over to tlie clerk of the court, and at
the same time instructed the clerk to
deliver it to Norah Moore, or her at*
torueys, McGown & Clark. As the
commissioner was over-anxious to rid
himself of the troubleaom gold, he
complied immediately with the in
structions of the court, aud latei in
the day, the dust was delivered to
McGowan & Clark.
The cases in which the dust was in
volved were: tho l uited States ns.
No, a Moore, a criminal proceeding
which was dismissed last December,
Hen Dahl vs. Norah Moore, in which
the plaint iff attempted to secure title
CO the gold dust; and the case of John
J%ihm vs. Norah Moore, Hen Dahl and
Mellowu A Clark, in which the com
missioner sought to have the court de
cide who was the rightluiower of the
dust.
The matter came before the court
yesterday, ou a motion to turn over
the gold dust, in the case of the Coiled
States vs. Norah Moore.
After argument by the attorneys,
Judge fuller said that the gold dust
had been seixed and taken from Norah
Moore, on a search warrant, at the
time that the woman was arrested on
the charge of larceny. Later the
grand jury declared that there was
insufficient evidence to return an iu*
diduieut agaisl the defendant and she
was freed. Under the circumstances,
the court stated that he did not see
how he could do anything hut return
the dust to the exonerated defendant.

Several checks drawn by the de

to worry, but to brace up, but it seemed
to have preyed upon his mind until he
determined to end all.
