Our Alaska Soldiers

Mrs. Mary J. Warren has this week
received another letter from her son
Emmet in Alaska He wrote from
Sleeps Camp under date of April 2,
1898, and saws the boys of his party
are having rather easy "hardships"
Emmett weighs one hundred seventy
eight pounds. ten pOnnds heavier than
he ever weighed before and gain of
fifteen pounds since leaving home.
He saws people are still going into he
'ld fields hv the thousand and that
wages are dropping down. Charges
for packing over the trail went down
fifty per cent i'll the week ending April
2 We quote Mr.. Warren further as
follows:
am like everyone else that comes
here-am not sorry for coming, but
don't see what anyone else wants to
come for. There were two men came
out Thursday, March 81, and reported
rich strikes made last winter, but the
great crowd going in makes chances
look dubious although we all stand an
equal show. have no doubt but what
there will be thousands selling outfits

people that none from home were
caught under that terrible snowslide.
We were camped about three miles
away, fortunately having preferred to
walk that distance every night and
morning than to stay where there was
any danger. A cal for men with
shovels was responded 10 by thousands
We went, but there was such crowd
we could not get close enough to work
Saw three men taken out dead, and
five taken out alive. One woman was
dead, a second woman was taken out
alive but died in short time. The
next morning Emmet Ward and myself
went to work with shOvels and saw
twelve men uncovered, all frozen stiff
Thirty dead have been found in this
vicinity so far. No one can tell how

many tons of food are still beneath
that avalanche of white. 1t was a
pitifuI sight, one I had not planned on
witnessing and hope to never see the
same thing again.
It is hard to tell when we will move
as freightlng and packing has been
suspended for the present on account
of storms. As this is enough to let
you know we are still amongst the
living, will close"

Sunday May s. and entered a saloon fire.
cans. He called for glass of claret, and
in drinking it said in Spanish: well, here
is to the success of the American flag"
Adolfo Ramirez, swarthy, evil looking
Mexican laborer, who heard the toast,
asked Andana If he was an American, and
the latter's affirmative reply led to wordy
wrangle which soon subsided, but another
native Californian, angered by Ramirez's
language, asked him three times to come
outside, and he would show the Mexican
that he (the Californian was an American
too. Ramirez prudently declined to be
shown native California jingoism, in which
he foresaw sound thrashing as the result.
Later, when evening had set in, Andana
returned to the drinking place, having for
gotten all about the morning rumpus when
Ramirez, who seems to have been lying In
wait for some unsuspecting American,
pounced upon him from behind and bore
him to the ground, falling on top. He was
proceeding to beat Andana, when the latter,
fearing for his life, drew his pistol and
shot twice at his assailant, one bullet TAX

was arrested on a charge Of assault to mur-

clearly that Andana had acted in sef-de
fense, and he was ordered discharged.

CHANGE OF VENUE
San Diego Superior Judges Disqualified
to Try a Water Bond Suit

The supreme court has decided that Su-
perior Judge Torrance is disqualified to
try the action of the San Diego Water COM
pany ct al, VS.. the City of San Diego and
the Southern California Mountain Water
company, the plaintiffs having asked for a
change of venue, which the trial judge re-
fused to grant. The suit was brought for
the purpose of setting aside as Illegal a
contract between the city and the Southern
California Mountain Water company, in
voving the expenditure of 81, 500, 900 of city
money. to be obtained by the sale of bonds,
and to enjoin the issuance and sale of
these bonds, voted at q special election.
1t was shown that Judge Torrance as
well as the other San Diego county supe-
rior judges, is owner of real estate in the
city taxed for municipal purposes, and that
If the bonds were issued special tax
would have to be levied for forty years,
which would directly affect all real prop
erty subject to it in the city of San Diego
On the other hand a determination that the
contract and proceedings were illegal
would result in a decree enjoining the issu-
ance of the bonds, and relieve all property
from the burden of bond redemption
tax. A change of venue to another county
is ordered.

Judgment Affirmed

The judgment of the superior court of
Santa Barbara county in the suit of J. V.
Hill against August H. Den, appealed by
plaintiff, is affirmed by the supreme court.
In April, 1884, Den asked Mrs. Ii i'll to come
to his house, do the necessary domestic
work and take care of him. He agreed to
maintain her and that when he married he
would deed to her and Den home for life
in the city of Santa Barbara. She went to
Den's house, and stayed there until he
married in December, 1895, and considered
her services worth $50 per month during
all this time. Den. at the time of his mar
riage, complied with his promise, but gave
no deed to the Hills. Later he decided all
his property to his wife. Then the Hills,
finding that they could get no deed, began
suit for the enforcement of their rights,
but later voluntarily relinquished posse
sion of the property. The court holds that
as plaintiff and his wife were in possession
of the property at the time the action was
commenced, he had then no cause of action,
and he was not aided by his subsequent
offer to restore possession.
