N \Tl\ E WON’T PAY
A! IMONY TO HIS WIFE
JUNEAU.—Head hunting days of
natives in Southeastern Alaska are a
thing of the past. Most rapidly, in
deed. are the natives taking on the
ways of the white man.
Yesterday Frank Hubbard, a native
and resident of Juneau, was ordered
by Judge Jennings to show cause why
he should not be punished for con
tempt of court for refusing to pay
alimony to his wife. The order is re- (
turnable next Saturday.
Some time ago, Elizabeth Hubbard,
obtained a divorce anti the husband
was ordered by the court to pay a
monthly alimony.
This case recalls two recent cases
in which two natives, mere boys,
sought the relief of the court to be
divorced from women old enough to
be their mothers many times over.
They alleged that old tribal customs
bv which parents have sole power ov
er sons to dictate marriages were re
sponsible for the ceremonies and that
they did not know the ways of the
white man’s law until after the mar
riages. They were granted divorces.
Even yet. it is claimed, amongst
some of the natives tribal customs
regulate their lives. NN hen a native
saves the life of another he exacts a
price which must be paid by the one
rescued or his relatives, and unless
satisfied can force some of the rela
tives to become his slaves.—IDispatch.
PERISCOPE XT NOME
Mr. Richardson of the Alaska
Steamship Company is engaged in in
stalling a wireless apparatus which
will be of great service in communi
cating with the vessels of the com
pany and keeping the agent in touch
with their ships when in these wat
ers. A second innovation installed by
the company for a very practical pur
pose is a periscope with which the
office force can at all times see what
is going on on the water front, the
movement of lighters, vessels, etc.—

ENGINEERS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
JUNEAU—George B. Smith. J. E.
Harton and A. H. Bradford, mining
engineers had a narrow escape from
death this afternoon in an open
launch two miles below Thane. With
their engine “dead”, and the launch
drifting aimlessly, the cannery tend
er Warrior came by at full speed.
The swell from the Warrior’s propel
ler swamped the small launch. By
dint of the hardest kind of work the
men succeeded in getting enough
water out of the boat to prevent her
sinking. They then rowed the derelict
to the beach and were taken care of
at the Alaska Gold Belt camp.—Em
