Alaska steamer, or by river steamers
to Kalama, thence via Northern Pa

Sergeant Mason and Betty Sued.

WASHINGTON, March 27.--It is
understood at this tine that the
amount of subscriptions for "Betty
and the baby" only amounted to
So 900 or $4,000. J. g.. Bigeiow, Ser
geant Mason's counsel, believes the
contributions aggregated So, 1000, of
which $1,000 were left on deposit in
Riggs & Co.'s bank, this city. AS he
has not been paid for his efforts to
get Mason released on habeas corpus,
Bigelow now sues the Sergeant and
Betty and the bank and every inter-
ested party, in fact, except the baby,
for $500 or sums as may be found
to be a fair compensation for his labor
together with reimbursement for the
expense he has incurred.
