CAPTAIN NISSEN'S HEIRS.
An Interesting Sequel TO the Loss
of the Bark G.. {. Funk.

The question whether Captain Henry
Nissen died first IN the wreck of the
bark C. c. Funk is TIE point upon
which hinges the claims % the heirs of
the captain and those Of his wife.
petition by the captains heirs was
met at Oakland. Cal. on the 10th Of
October, by objections from his wife's
heirs, who claim that the wife sur
vived her husband by some hours, leav-
ing the estate to be distributed among
her sisters as the oaIy heirs. Nissen
left an estate worth $4,000 which would
have gone to his wife ana children had
they survived him. Should it be PROV
ed that Nissen died first, the property
will be divided among his wife's heirs.
On the other hand. should the laY in
the matter hold good that the husband
is supposed to have survived longer.
then the captains heirs wi4l divide the
estate.
Mrs. Nissen's sisters claim that the
evidence of the only two survivors of

Captain Nissen was wall known in

was as captain and part owner OF the
bark 'Rosalie," which was condemned
and afterwards broken up. Returning
to the Coast, he assumed the command
of the illfated G. G. Funk, and accom-
panied by his wife and children, sailed
from Tacoma for West Australia on
the 18th of April, 1898, with lumber

No Prisons Needed,

In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are so honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property as locks, bolts and bars are
not required. Yet it's history for the
past thousand years records no more
than two thefts.
Of these two cases, one was that of a
native who was detected after stealing
several sheep, but as he had done so to
supply his family, who were suffering
for want of food, when he had broken
his arm, provisions were furnished to
them and work was found for him when
he was able to do it, and meanwhile he
was placed under medical care, but the
stigma attached to his crime was con
sidered sufficient punishment.
The other theft was made by Ger.
man, who stole II sheep. But as he was
in comfortable circumstances and the
robbery was malicious the sentence
passed upon him was that he should as
once sell all his property,
