RARE OLD sMUGGLED GIN.
interesting Find of Divers In Port Town

os'hS ina OF Divers In Port Town

AN oid-fashioned stone jug, containing
gin that is probably the oldest in King
county, was exhibited few DAYS ago by
John Spencer. The jug, which holds just
quart. was found at the bottom of the
bay at Port Townsend, and is covered with
barnacles.
In 1854, when Mr.. Spencer. of this CITY,

send, word was sent to him that there was
on board schooner anchored in the har-
Dor struggled case of good old English
gin put up in stone quart jugs. The Gus
toms officers seized the vessel and searched
her, but they never found the gin. What
became of it they did not know, but thew
thought it possible that it had been secretly
put ashore. In a few days the schooner
lifted anchor and set sail, never, so far as
known, visiting Port Townsend again.
A few days ago divers were exploring
the bottom of Port Townsend harbor and,
when at point directly beneath the spot
where the supposed smuggler had cast
anchor thirty-eight years before, they
came across an odd looking case covered
with barnacles. It was Immediately
hoisted into boat, and upon being broken
open was found to contain twelve stone
jugs tightly sealed. The barnacles had
penetrated the case and had grown until
each jug was thickiy coated with them.
When one of the divers came to the city
with several of the jugs yesterday Mr..
Spencer lost no time in buying one of
them and giving his explanation as to
how the liquor come to be at the bottom

MAGGIE KORAN SUES.
She Charges H. G. Jeffries With
Defrauding Her.
CIVIL ACTION TO RECOVER LOSS,
sbe Charges That He Appropriated
Money Entrusted to His Care
Criminal Court News.

Miss Maggie Koran, who created some
thing of a sensation about three weeks ago
BY being locked up in the county Jail on a
charge of threatening to do bodily harm,
nreferred by Mrs. II. G. Jeffries, of Kent.
brought suit yesterday in the superior
court to recover large sum of money out
of which she claims she was defrauded by
II. G. Jehries. Miss Horan's story is that
Jefries, who was formrly editor of the
Kent AdUertiser, was at one time a Justice
Of the peace in Denver. In the Denver
Republican of March %, 1888, he was
charged with skipping out from that city
and leaving many creditors behind, among
them Miss Maggie Koran, whom he was
charged with defrauding out of Si,3i4, the
wages of lifetime. He went to Santa
Cruz. Cal, and was brought back from
there and tried on criminal charges of
larceny and obtaining money under false
pretenses.
Miss Koran. in February, 1889, brought
civil action in the district court OF Ara
pahoe county, Colo, and secured a judg-
ment for the full amount prayed for. She
now sues on the judgment recovered in
Colorado for $4.3l4, with interest, which
will increase the amount to over $1,000.
About two months ago Miss Koran. who
had learned of Jef,ries living at Kent,
came TO the Coast from Colorado with the
syowed intention of recovering her money
from the man she claims defrauded her.
On May II she went to Kent and found
that Jeffries had left the state. She Gre
sted quite a disturbance and a warrant
was sworn out by Mrs. Jetfries charging
her with threatening to do great bodily
harm. On June Miss Koran again went
to Kent and was arrested. After hear
ing before Justice Greenleaf she was
placed under $500 bonds to keep the peace
and in default of it was brought to the
county Jail. Application for a writ OF
habeas corpus was made by her attorney.
After hearing before Judge Humes on
June she was dismissed from custody,
on the ground that the commitment by
the Justice was insufficient.
Miss Koran Is very respectable appear
ing woman, who is past the age for work.
ing When she came to Seattle she
brought with her letters of recommends
ton from number of prominent business
men of Denver

is to be erected on Front street. at the foot
of Cherry, for the Fourth of July celebra-

will be constructed after the style
of the old Roman triumphal arches
The soffitte of the main arch
will be ceied with coffered panels, with a
rosette in the center of each, and on each
rosette an electric light will be set. On
each side of the main arch will be a small
arch neatly decorated. The upper portion
of the structure will be decorated with
laurel wreaths and the national coIors

lights running the entire length Of the
arch. On top will be three clusters of
small flags resting across each other, and
