A DISPUTE ENDED.
Little Sophie Fawson Is Adopted by
Mrs. NicklaiSen.

Quite controversy has been raging
round the question of who is to own little
three-and-a- hal:-yearold Sophie Fawson,
but matters were settled to the satlsfac-
ton of all parties yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. K. Nicklaisen of Fruitvale who
had brought the child up from infancy,
claimed Sophie. but she claimed also some
remuneration for continuing to keep ber.
The father. who lives in Portland, declared
that if he had to pay for Sophie's educa-
ton. he preferred to have her near him, and
at Mr.. Fawson's request the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children took
the child and placed her in the Infants
Shelter, preparatory to shipping her to
Portland.
Mrs. N;cklaisen finally offered to adopt
the child, but General McComb refused to
give up Sophie without receiving orders to
that effect from her father. The message
tarried and the controversy waxed warm.
Yesterday afternoon, however, Mr.. Faw-
son arrived here from Portland and at
once consented to Sophie being adopted
by Mrs. Nicklaisen. The papers were
drawn out by General McComb and the
child was given back to the woman who
has brought her up, to the general salts
faction Of all parties concerned.

naming $3.50 he kept for his own.
Young first brought an action for en-
bezzlement, but that was killed in the Po-
lice Court. Then Young procured an in
dictment from the Grand Jury, but that
has never come to trial. A few days ago
be commenced civil action for the money
and now he wants Haskell disbarred. He
says in his complaint Haskell has boasted
that he cannot be convicted, and Young
continues that, as he is resident of an
other State and wishes to get home. he
will try to bring the case up at once under
his latest complaint.

W. II. Young. former client of Burnet
G. Haskell, has instituted proceedings to
have him disbarred. He says Haskell has
$1,000 which belongs to him and he can find
no way in which to get it.
Haskell was Young's attorney in a suit
against the Southern Pacific Railroad for
1000 damages. Young says that while
the case was pending Haskell compromised
for $1000 but no part of the $1,000 has ever
found its way to the pockets of the dam
aged. Haskell was prosecuting the case

A Miners HerOism.

Heroes abound In every walk Of life.
and many u noble act of devotion and
self-sacrifce goes unpublished and un-
known. A serious accident, followed
by genuine act of herOism, occurred
In n Western mine recently.
A miner by the name of william
Friend had prepared and lighted two
shots In shaft forty feet deep, and
was being hOisted out by cOmpan nion,
william Overland.
As he reached the top of the shaft,
the barrel upon which he was standing
became detached from the rope, and
Friend was precipitated to the bottom,
upon the burning fuse. His right leg
was broken In two places, and he was
so bruised and stunned that he lay
quite still, awaiting the horrible death
from the coming explosion which seem.
ed inevitable.
Without thought OF personal dan
ger, but thoroughly alive to his com
rade's fearful peril, Overland threw the
rope down again, and made 1t fast to
the wlndlass. He seized 1t, and slipping,
sliding, hand over hand, descended rap
idly to the bottom Of the shaft.
His feet touched the rock, and with
the agility Of cat he snatched the
burning fuse from the loaded holes!
The explosion was prevented and his
unfortunate fellOw-workman's life was
saved by his fearless promptness.
Oyerland's hands We're blistered and
bleeding from contact with the rope,
but otherwise he was unhurt. and
thought little OF what he had done. OF
such stun heroes are made.

Bowden was taken to the Georgia Infirm-
airy. The driver of the ambulance also
brought back word that the shooting was
accidental.
BY orders of Chief McDermott, however,
Mounted Policeman Henry Smith, who
was nearest to the scene of the shooting,
was directed to go there and investigate
it. He arrested Fennell and sent him to
the barracks.
The young man and his father who
came to the barracks with him, both as
serted that the shooting was accidental.
The Georgia Infirmary was called up by
telephone from the Morning News late
at night and inquiry made of Bowden's
condition. The reply was that he was
very low. The party replying stated that
Bowden said the shooting was not acci-
dental, but that he and Fennell had been
quarreling and that the latter meant to
shoot him.
