Slowly and carefully eXtrlcating herself

superior force OF rebels and driven back to
the boat. The purSuers stood on the shore
ana fired at the men as the Eunb1at was
forging out into the stream. Reddick claimed
that during the firing he had a finger shot
OFF. For this he wanted a pension.
The case was referred to Examiner Fosncs
In course of time he visited the San Fran
cisco witness and required him to furnish
an additional affidavit detailing in narrative
form the incidents connected with the al
legged main ing of Reddck This was readily
given In accordance with story which had
doubtless been previously committed to
memory and then sthe examiner asked a
number of questions, finally saying:
BY the way, what sort of a complexion
has this man Reddick?"
"Oh, about the same as yours" replied
the unsusrecting witness. The examiner is
very fair cCmpleXioned. The witness at
tention was called to the fact that Redlick
was as black as the ace of spades, and his
confusion simply confirmed the examiners
suspicious that the witness had never even
seen Reddick. 1t was afterward learned that

GOVERNMENT DECIDES FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
Most Valuable PROPERTY in Juneau
Changes Hands uU the The
OrS of u Mineral
CInim.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. Nov. 29.-Thc
steamer AlH, which arrived from Alaska.
brought news Of considerable excitement at
Juneau as 4 result OF decision by the gov
crnment that will result In the loss OF a
great many homes and considerable property
in tho best part OF the city. The decision
referred to is one that has just been rem
dercd by Secretary OF the Interior Francis
and 1t gives to Mrs. Goldstcin little over
twenty acres Of land in the town of Juneau
on which her husband filed in her name as
mining claim. The decision returned by
Secretary Francis ends the matter. in which
at one time or another. a good portion Of
tho city Of Juneau felt personally Interested
In 1856 Rufus Goldstein, a citizen Of Ju-
neau, which was then not much OF town
filed mineral claim in what was after
wards the best property in the place. Not
much was thought of the matter at that
time. 1t was not until two years later, in
1883, that tho public knew Of the fact that
a part of the town site was Deing claimed
for mineral purposes. In that year gov
Crnment surveyor was sent north to stake
of numerous mining claims thG; had been
acted on. Meantime Juneau had grown and
when the people there saw the government
surveyor at work in town stalking OF some
of the best residence lots in the place, they
were more than curious ana set ABOUT 10
learn what 1t all meant.
They we're not long in finding that min
oral claim had been filed on the property in
tho name of Mrs \. a. Goldstein by her
husband and that ii was being surveyed
under the same law that governs all similar
filings in that territory.
ADVISED MOB LAW
The citizens finally decided to call a pub
lie meeting to discuss the matter and at
this meeting II was shown that If the claim
of Goldstein should he sustained. 1t would
seriously mjurc the town and the rights of
citizens and so much feeling was worked
up over the matter that it was actually and
seriously proposed to either hang Goldstein
or throw him in the bay on the ground that
he was a public enemy.
The case was finally taken into the gen
Cral land office under the title of Goldstein
against the townsite of Juneau and it was
there decided in favor Of the townsie 1t
was then carried to the supreme court and
that body at once referred it to the Interior
department which has now decided that the
claim of Goldstein is valid and must be
sustained.
1t is held by Secretary Francis that where
the claim conflicts with the land occupied
by other parties prior to 1856. Goldstcin will
not be allowed to have prior privileges, but
this will affect very small portion of his
claim. 1t Is said that at present prices for
in Juneau the Goldstein claim of !
twenty acres is worth from 100000 to
S 600 600 most of il being property held /
by those who will find IT to their advantage
to pay a round sum per month rental to
their new landlord rather than give up
their pl ices.

EX-Chief Of Police j. NJ Scanlan acknowl-
edged last evening some interesting expert
cnces which he had with a couple OF footpads
who tried to hold him up and rob him on
Thursday night. Mr.. Scanlan left his butcher
shop on Upper Broadway late in the even
ing to 20 to his home near platncr street.
He carried quite a large sum of money in
his pocket, but nothing in the shape of a
weapon of defense. AS he passed the Broad
way Methodist church he observed a couple
Of men lurking in the shadow Of the build
ing. When he turned up Stutsman street
he noticed that they were following him,
He walked rapidly for the distance of a block
and made the unpleasant discovery that
they had walked stll more rapidly and were
close behind him. He then took the middle
of the street for il and foot race had be-
gun. The thugs were two large, powerful
men. and 1t was fair to presume that they
were well armed The eX-chief of police is
by no means a man who will retreat before
ordinary odds, but he did not court an en-
counter in the dark with two dosperadoes
and run the chance of losing his money and
his life. The race continued for a distance
of several blocks, when Scanan made
quick turn into a dark side street, where
several rapid strides placed him behind
large post that completely concealed him.
The footpads reached the corner an instant
later and looked carefully for their victim
They were standing within few feet of him
when one of them remarked.
Where did the 20 to- anyway
He must have lodged into the side door
Of that house. He lives there and we've lost

Tho footpads sized up the house and after
few minutes delay left. Seaman contin-
ued his way home. He now carries a gun
and no money.
