MADE In JUNEAU

Goldstein's Mineral Claim.
THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES
Heavy Loss 10 Present Occupants. as
the Claim Is IN the Best Part
OF the City.

Port Townsend. wn.. November 2s.-
The steamship Al-ki. which arrived
from Alaska yesterday. brought the
news Of considerable excitement at Ju-
neau as the result Of a decision by the
government that viii result In the loss
OF great many homes and considera-
bic property In the best part Of the
city.
The decision referred to is one that
has just been rendered by Secretary Of
the Interior Francig. and 1t gives 10
Mrs Goldstein little over 20 acres OF
land in the town OF Juneau. on which
her husband hled in her name as a mu-
tual claim.
In 1856 Rufus Golstein. a citizen Of
Juneau. filed on one mineral claim in
what was afterwards the best property
In the place, IT was not until two years
later. in 1883. that the public knew Of
the fact that part Of the townsite was
being claimed for mineral purposes.
The case was finally gotten into the
general land office under the title Of
Goldsteln VS.. the Townsite OF Juneau.
and It was there decided in favor Of the
townsite. II was then carried to the
supreme court. where that body at once
referred II to the interior department.

find 1t 10 their advantage to pay a
rcu I'd sum per month as rental to their
new landlord rather than suffer him
to enforce his right of ownership.

LEAR UP-TO-DATE.
Here is Story That Points Whole.
some Moral.

A well-known attorney, says the
Washington Post, told a good story
the other day about man who had
such a profound contempt for wills
that he followed the example of King
Lear, and divided his property among
his children before death. Like unto
Lear's children, when they had thus
been duly provided for against mate
rial needs, they gradually betrayed
the fact by their actions that the old
man was no longer as much to be
loved and obeyed as before he had
disposed of his goods and chattels.
He found difficulty in securing a
really comfortably place to sleep un-
der the roof Of any of his offspring,
and the ill-treatment with which he
was eventually accorded, would have
shortened his life had he not as a last
resort consulted wise legal friend.
Said the latter, for he trusted the old
man implicitly
"Give me receipt for this gold
which 1 have here" taking bag
from the safe, sand / will let you
take it a few day. Go home, be ap-
parently mysterious and secretive in
your actions, and when you think
you have sufficiently aroused the curl
osity of your children, at whose
house you are now staying, manage
to count out the gold on the table in
your room, making it seem as much
as possible, and at time when you
are sure you are watched"
This advice the old man accepted.
There was more than once some one
at the keyhole, when he counted his
pretended hoard of gold coin, and it
was not long before marked change
came over the manner ofhis children.
Those who had seen and heard could
not keep it from the rest, and as
result nothing was too good for the
old gentleman. When he was con-
vinced that he had made the impress
sion desired, he returned the gold to
the old lawyer, and thereafter lived
without want. When he died the
strong box, which he had kept locked
with great show of secrecy, was op-
ened. There was rothing in it but a
hatehet, and slip IF paper, which
read
"He who would give away his
property before he is dead, would do
better to take this hatchet and cut off
his head"

BENCH AND BAR.
The Two Combined in a Unique Texas
Caravansary.

There are only half dozen houses
in Langtry, Tex, and one of them is
combination "beer and law shop,
presided over by Judge Roy Bean,
who is the most autocratic and most
original judge in all Texas. AS the
name of the town is Langtry, the
judge, who reads the papers, has
quite appropriately named his place
the " Jersey Lily" His business
sign bears these word : Ice Cold
Beer and Law West of the Pecos.
The Pecos river is the eastern bound
AIRY of the judges circuit, which en-
braces 500 miles of widest Texas.
He was made judge-probably self
appointed-when he was a young
man, and he is about 65 years old
now. Nobody would dream of hold
ing an election for the position,
Judge Beans method of dispensing
law is not the sort one reads of in
books. Once, when a Texan pleaded
guilty before him of killing a China
man, the judge said: There amt
any law in Texas agin KILN China
man. Prisoners discharged" On an
other occasion a man was brought be-
fore him for stealing a COW valued at
about four dollars. "Well," said the
judge, "you'll pay $a5o fine or hang"
The prisoner protested that the COW
was only worth a few dollars. "Shut
upW yelled the judge. "Come up
with $3.50 or you hang" The prison
er came up.-PHiI0. Record.
