Paseass for Juneau Townsiss Lots

Posf TOWNSEND, Nov. a-fSpecial +
From q gentleman who recently arrived
from juneau, AIaska, il Is learned that the
citizens Of that plscs are having some
trouble relative to obtaining patents from
the government for townsite Lots, not
withstanding the fact that the survey was
finished several months ago and was GO
ceptsd by the government and trustee
appointed. The governments refusal to
issue patents Is based upon the fact that .
large portion of the plat il covered by
mineral patent, which dates back
to 1883, and embraces . tract OF land
leo feet long by 800 feet In breadth
When the mineral claim was originally
filed by A. Goldstein something OF . COM
motion Was created in the town. A meet
ing OF the citizens convened, and Mr..
Goldstein was there to present his side
OF the case in response TO special re-
quest. During the session some one sto,e

LIscoLg. Scb., Nov. 25.-The latest de-
velopment in the affairs of the wrecked
Capital National bank, which President
Mosher wrecked last year, going TO the
peniteatisry for i've years for stealing
million, is the application made by the
receivers for permission 10 be a party to
the proceedings relative TO the equitable
and legal Ownership OF Mosher's holdings
OF stock in the gas and Insurance eompa-
MES. the Western Manufacturing Com
pany, and the prison contract. Ii is
alleged by the receiver that at the time Of
the failure, as at present. the books of the
company showed that Mosher owned $50
shares of stock in the Western Manufac-
turing Company and 1850 shares Of old
stock in the gas company. The court is
asked to subject the stock TO his judg-
ment. The receiver hopes thus to recover
halt a million.

A mURDEnER KILLED AT onuRcH.
After n Desperate Battle, During which
Women tainted.


MEMPHIS. Tenn, Nov. 25.-A battle oc-
Cured ut church near Carrolton, Miss,
today between officers and a murderer
and resulted in the death Of one man and
the wounding OF two others. Ben p
Chatham, marshal OF Carrollton. and n.
Brewer, a deputy sheriff, left today for
Enona church. ten miles south of Carroll
ton, to arrest Claude Moss. who is charged
with murder at Monticello, Ark, and who
has been fugitive from justice for moro
than year. Gov. Stone had honored the
requisition of the governor of Arkansas.
and the sheriff of Carroll county went TO
arrest Moss and deliver him to the Arkan-
sas officers. The officers, learning that
Moss. who had recently grown bold, would
probably attend church ut Enona today,
left for that point, and reached there lust
as the minister was beginning service.
Moss and his companions were standing
near the church when Chatham and
Brewer approached. Moss threw his hand
TO his hip pocket as if to draw his pistol.
when Chatham grabbed his hand and
Brewer also grabbed him. Moss, being a
stout and powerful young man, resisted
the officers, when both officers pulled
their pistols. They scuffied with Moss
until they reached the church door thirty
feet away. when Moss had succeeded in
almost wrenching Brewers pistol from his
hand and fred 1t at Chatham, but Brewer
knocked the pistol and caught the bullet
in his arm, inflioting a serious wound.
Moss then rammed Brewers pistol into
Chatham's breast and pulled the trigger
again and again, but Brewers hand caught
he hammer and the pistol only snapped.
BY this time Chatham had freed his pistol
from Moss grasp and fired two bullets into
him, killing him instantly. Intense ex-
element prevailed at the church, and
scores of women tainted.

REV. TEA A. MILLS MORALS.
Not Up 60 the Mon amAra standard-The
Dismissal Sustained.

Not Up 60 the Mon amAra standard-The
Dismissal Sustained.
Poxr TOWNSEND, Nov. 25.-fSpeeial. -
The dismissal of Ira A. Mills, mail
carrier. has been approved By the first
assistant postmaster general. Mr.. Mills,
who happens to DO a minister OF the
gospel. was removed from Office by post
master Mcnamara, who said 'That it was
for the purpose OF improving the morality
of the service" Mr.. Mills appealed his
case to the civil service commission at
Washington City, which took up the mat
ter and began an active contest against
Mr.. Mcnamara. In sustaining the
decision the department. practi-
cally sustains the postmaster. and
turns down the civil service commits
sioners, who were sspousing Mr.. Mills
cause.
This action establishes precedent that
enables the head of an Office, under civil
service Jurisdiction, to discharge any
employees without the necessity OF first
fling charges for submission to the COM
mission. In other words, the acts OF the
civil service are subject to approval of the
postoffice department. The only incon-
venience to overcome now is the necessity
of filling vacancies from those who have
passed a successful civil service examina-
ton. If this ruling prevails. Collector
of Customs Saunders will be able
to remove almost any officer
in the customs service upon such similar
and generally frivolous charges as ''ior the
purpose of improving the morality of the
service" which is practical abrogation
of the civil service regulations. These as
SYMPTOMS are based upon the postoffice
decision as interpreted by Postmaster Nc
Namara The latter has appointed V. v.
Lowry, popular young man Of this city,
who. by the way is . Republican, to Mr..
Mills old position.
