IN BROWN CASE; BOUND OVER
JUNEAU, Dec. 22.—Fannie Miller,
the chief witness at the inquest over
the remains of “Babe” Brown, was
this morning hound over to the grand
jury on the charge of pesjury and her

buried in the Jewish cemetery. A
last opportunity for the friends of
the woman to view the remains was
acorded last night at Douglas. Again
sky, the husband of the murdered
woman expressed a faint desire to
view the remains, but did not cross
the channel for that purpose and this
has given rise to many unfavorable
comments and opinions.—Ex.

CHIEF GOODLATAW
GIVES VIEWS ON WAR
Chief Goodlataw, of the Copper riv
er Indians, is highly incensed that
Uncle Sam does not put an end to
the war in Europe. Goodlataw is a
learned man among his tribesmen.
He knows Alaska well, and as a tak
er of salmon and trapper of foxes he
is without an equal. He gained con
siderable reputation during the build
ing of the Copper Kiver & North
western r. r. by bringing to court of
fenders who sold liquor to members
of his tribe and he has profound re
spect for the.officers of the court,
who are to him the highest repre
sentatives of the law.
Ever since the war began in Eur
ope Goodlataw has been hearing about
it from time to time, but his only I
comment has been: “Those fellows
better look out over there.”
Recently the chief listened with in- J
creasing restlessness to talk about
the battle of the Somme, with details
of the number killed, wounded and
captured, big guns and miles of
trenches. Finally he broke out with: !
“What’s the matter over that place,
no United States marshal? Why,!
they don’t write a letter to the judge? 1
He fix ’em.”—Cordova Times.
