Among the other hardships Of life
in Alaska is the difficulty Of keeping
provisions. The native dogs aud bears
eat everything they can end, and they
display remarkable amount Of intel
ligepce and slyness in locating some
thing to eat. The miners have tried
many methods Of protecting their
stores, and are now resorting to
caches or small houses built on siilts.
Here they keep their food with sore
degree of safety, and the dogs and the
bears miss the pleasures Of stolen

QUARRELING NEIGHBoRS.
The Tha1er-Fie1 Case From FloriI
Ended in FiePs Acquittal.

The quarrel between the families of
Kaspar Thaler and Charles Fiel, whose
places adjoin one another at Florin-
the facts of which were published re-
cently-culminated yesterday in Fiel's
trial before Justice Henry on charge
of assaulting Mrs. Thaler.
The families have not been living in
peace and harmony for long time, and
a few weeks ago there was an open
rupture, caused by F'iel shooting one
of Mrs. Thaler's chickens that had
trespassed on the F'ieI preserve.
According to the testimony Of Mr..
Thaler, Mrs. Thaler and 10-year- old
Paul Thaler, Fiel shot the chicken, and
then because Mrs. Thaler disputed his
right to do so, he reached over the
fence. caught her by the throat, and
choked her Just before doing this
his shotgun was discharged, and at
first it was alleged that he tried to
shoot Mrs Thaler, but the shotgun did
not cut much figure in the trial
When the F'iel side of the case was
heard it transpired that the evidence
was very conflicting, and Justice Hen
ry concluded that the best thing to do
was to discharge the defendant. He
said it was one of those inconsequential
neighborhood squabbles that should not
be taken into court.

Elsewhere announcement is made of
an important meeting of the Capital
City Wheelmen Monday evening at
730 The club as it now exists has,
by succession and merger, been an or
ganization since 1886. III June last

resolved to incorporate under the CO.
operative Act of 1895 and the modify
ing Act of 1897.
July 10Th the articles of corporate
association were filed. committee
was named to prepare new code OF
bylaws to meet the new conditions.
Nine members were selected to take
the necessary legal steps to make the
change
These nine therefore became the new
body Tonight they will report the
new bylaws, which, after considera-
ton and adoption, will require that
formal change shall be made from the
old to the new. First the old associ-
alton will formally transfer all its prop
erty and records to the new. Then all
the officers will vacate and the old
club will by resolution adjourn sine die
Immediately the new will accept the
property, list the membership with it,
reinstate the officers under the legal
form, and the club will be launched
under its new style giving it standing
before the law.
The last act in attaining this new dig
nifty will be filing the code of bylaws
with the County Clerk. The published
notice requests full attendance of the
membership.
1t is explained that the change in
no respects affects membership-it will
be as it now is; there is no capital
stock, and no liabilities more than in
the present form 1t becomes now CO.
