up in a brutal manner, splitting his lip
and knocking out one of his teeth, be-

Accidental Death

George Judson, son OF County Commits
sioner Judson, was accidentally killed
Monday. Mr.. Judson, with a number Of
companions, left about week since for a
trip TO Baker river to inspect number
of mines owned by him. While on the
trip JudsOn concluded to go on deer
hunt, isd leaving the party, started off
alone, saying that he would return in a
short time. His long absence excited the
apprehension of his companions. and they
started 10 search for him. One of the
party soon found him lying on the ground
In a dying condition. JudsOn had eyi
IDENTIFY fallen from eli Fl or had slipped on
log, as his thigh was badly lacerated
and there was an ugly wound in his alb
dOmen, evidently caused by falling on a
stag Of the log near which he was lying.
A sort OF litter, consisting Of blanket
and poles, was hastily improvised and the
wounded man was carried to the river
and then put in a canoe, and in this man
ner brought to Sedro. Blood poisoning
soon set in and Judson died yesterday
morning, his remains being brought to
the city last evening. The deceased was
about 80 years of age and was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. He had
served two terms as surveyor of Whatcom
county, and was elected to the legislature
in 1889. His death creates universal sor-
row among the old settlers OF this section

THE POLICE COURT.

Changes in the Two Rooms Arc Cheap Be
cause of Small Appropriations.
The money appropriated by Congress wss
not enough to put the Police Court building in
proper condition, but Judges Miller and Kim
bali have done the best they could under the
circumstances and next Monday everything
viii be in readiness to receive the first Jury.
In the court room proper there is a raised
platform for the jury and the portable witness
box can be moved around until the best place
Is found. The rails have been changed about
so that there is no danger Of the witnesses and
lawyers getting in the wrong place and being
taken for prisoners.
As heretofore printed in TIE STAR, Judge
Miller will start off with the jury trials and
Judge Kimball will take the police tribunal be-
fore which the cases not triable by jury will
be brought. as well as many cases in which jury
trials are waived.
Judge kimbalrs court has also been fitted up
and as soon as he qualities he can take his seat
and dispense justice. This room is on the
upper floor, but to reach it several doors have
to be passed through as well as rooms and pas
saSes, that it will be rather difficult to reach.
The room is in that part of the building which
was recently rented, and its interior arrange
ments gives 1t the appearance OF country
magistrate Office rather than of a court Of
justice of the capital of the nation.
The prison dock and witness stand are both
constructed of tongue and groove plank and
can be moved to any part of the room.
This cheap way of getting the place ready for
the judges, as already stated, was necessitated
because Of the small amount.of funds appro-
priated,

THE DIRECT TAX.
How Individual Claims in States Where the
Government Collected May BE Paid.

How Individual Claims i'm States Where the
Government Collected May BE Paid.
Treasury officials are considering the best
method Of settling the direct tax claims Of in
diyiduals in those states where the tax was col
lected directly by United States officers. The
act provides that in such cases the money in
settlement of direct tax claims shall be paid to
the governors of the states in trust for the
claimants. It so happens. however, that the
records Of these collections are in the custody
Of the government and that the governors have
NO record information on the subject. Sew
sral ways out Of the difficulty have been sug-
gested and the one most likely to be adopted is
the governors to appoint agents TO make
transcripts of the government records and for
the governors to settle the claims in accordance
Herewith Under this plan the state would
be allowed to tain all that portion of its allot-
ment for which claim shall not be presented in six
years from the date OF the passage of the act
Applications for their share have been already
received from three states in which a portion
or all Of the tar was collected by federal Off
GERS. These are West Virginia, Delaware and
North Carolina In the last named state the
entire tax was collected by the government
directly from the citizens and the same is true
of all southern states. In the cases of Della
ware and West Virginia the tax was collected
partly by the state and partly by the govern
mept.

The Occur D.Alene Reservation.

Secretary Noble has sent a telegram to Rep
resentative Wilson of the state of Washington
stating that upon due consideration of the mat
ter it is his Judgment that the Occur d'Alene In
dian reservation in Idaho, as described in the
Indian appropriation act approved March 8,
1891, was opened by force of the statute, and
needs no proclamation or further action to
accomplish that end. This opinion, however,
the Secretary saws. is given without any argu-
ment made TO the department., and it is to be
received as the expression of views that may be
changed If there is any dispute arising concern
ing the vality Of the case. The northern sec
ton OF this reservation which is open to settle
ment contains about 10000 acres and may be
entered under the homestead act upon pay
ment Of Sl.50 per acre, one-half of which is to
be paid paid within two Years.
