Custer County Wins.

In the matter of Custer, Ere
mont and Bingham counties VS..
G. E. Thum, as receiver of G.
Bunting & Co., bankers, Judge
Rich has just rendered a decision
in favor of said counties.
Custer county sued to recover
S12, ,241, balance due. The county
had a large sum on deposit when
the bank failed. 1t received two
dividends prior to the supreme
court decision in the case of the
State VS.. Thum in which it was
held that public money on deposit
was a trust fund and could not
be considered as a part of the
banks assets. The county
brought suit under that decision,
but the receiver pleaded that the
county was estopped by reason
of its acceptance of the divi-
dends. Judge Rich in his decis-
ion in a general summary says :
1.-The conclusion at which /
have arrived, therefore. is that
these moneys, when deposited,
became a trust fund, that the
bank became a trustee for the
counties; that the receiver stands
in the same position as the bank
did; that the creditors never ob-
tanned any right in these funds
as they at no time could be con-
sidered as a part of the general
assets of the bank, and that the
counties are not estopped from
claiming this as a trust fund by
reason of any facts appearing in
the case.
1T is the opinion of the Court,
therefore, that the counties
should recover for the respective
amounts as shown to be due
them according to the money
upon deposit, less the dividends
which have been paid, and that
an order and decree directing the
receiver to pay these amounts
will be given. l think. however,
that in view of the fact that the
creditors have had no interest in
this matter. that the county must
pay the costs of these petitions.
except such costs as were made
by the receiver himself. In other
words, that each party pay his
own costs. Findings of fact aud
conclusions of law and decree
may be drawn up in accordance
with this opinion.

work for wages, but 1 don't sup
pose any one comes here with
that intention. Everybody can't
strike it rich, but there is lots Of
gold here.
1--WE are going to try and dc
some drifting on the beach this
winter-get out some dirt and
wash it out in the spring.
Il send you by registered mail
today some small gold nuggets
that / found myself. also a sample
of the beach gold. l think there
is about Sc of it-$5 in nuggets
and 81 in beach gold.
Flour is S6 per 100fbs.
Hams. 40c. per IL.
Bacon, 30c. per ID.
Sugar, $25 per 100 lbs.
"Cond. milk, 500. so per case.
Tomatoes. 81 per case.
Butter, 75c. per fb.
1--WE have got most of our sup
plies for the winter, ard expect
to get the balance when the next
boat comes in. Provisions viii
be worth something in the
spring, as there will be great
many people who will remain
here this winter.
Sam Dipple is here working
on the beach. He came here
from the Klondike country-has
not done any good for himself
yet.
There will be a great rush
here next spring. People can
get lumber to build houses fast
enough, and consequently many
will have to live in tents this
winter. We could sell our house
for 81, 000-it cost US about $500.
Tar paper cost US SIS a roll; cor
rugated iron, $3.50 a sheet.
I'VE have got three tundra
claims-just located them. They
are back from the beach about
mile. Tundra is fat. boggv.
country covered with moss. 1t
will be winter diggings. If the
tundra claims turn out, this will
be the greatest gold country
ever known.
Don't show Sweet this letter.
II don't know as there is any
more that l can write you at this
time, and will close with kindest
regards to all. You will hear
from me the first thing in the
spring, if nothing happens.
Very Respectfully,

Returns from the elections or
Tuesday last held in twelve diff
ferent States, are coming in very

Mysterious Lights.
ANVIL CITY, Alaska" "

Mysterious lights have been
seen by people at night in the
Challis school house, or imagin-
ed that they saw them, not once,
but at different times. The jan
itor has reported having found
live Goals in the stoves on Mon
day morning, although there
should have been no fire in the
stoves from Friday afternoons.
The light was seen again last
Thursday evening. and Mr.. t.
j. Paul and the editor of this
paper, being so informed, made
a grand rush to the scene of the
mysterious lights and ghosts, in
hopes Of securing the animal.
We guarded the windows and
doors so that the prowler might
not escape. and then made care
full tour of inspection of the
building, from basement to the
belfry, but could not discover
the critter, but did discover that
what appeared to be a light in
the school house, was only a re-
Election of light from Mr.. Van
Camps house on the large win
dows of the school house, and
one would at first imagine that
the school building was lighted
up, but it is only an optical IL
luSion.
In reference to the live Goals
being found in the stoves on
Monday morning, it is possible
for them to be there from Fri
day evening. This may also be
from imagination. We do not,
nor never did believe in ghosts,
and we never heard of one pack
ing a lantern to see its way
they are supposed to be visible
and invisible lads-now you see
them; now you don't see them.
The ghosts or mysterious lights
seen in the school building has
terminated as we were certain
it would. There is always a
cause and effect if traced up. In
this case it was, viz Cause
Light. Effect Reflection.
Ghosts and haunted buildings
are only a myth, and comes from
imagination. In olden times
grown people would congregate
on the long wintery nights and
tell the most outlandish ghost
stories to frighten children. and
thereby instill into them coward
ice instead of courage. bravery
manhood and womanhood.

Cape Nome letter.
Anvil City, Alaska. Sept. q, 1899.

Anvil City, Alaska, Sept. q, 1899.
The following letter was re-
ceived the other day by Frank
Nickerson of this city, from his
brother, Ed, who is now a plac-
er miner in far-off Alaska. The
letter says in part
BROTHER FRANK:-Yours of
July 30th, received, and was glad
to hear from you. 1 am we'll and
all right. l just got back from
a tough trip of about 100 miles to
the Bonanza Mining District. l
located two claims, but don't
know how good they are, for 1
run out of grub and did not have
time to prospect them much, but
think they will be all right.
Now, l will tell you what we
have done The first 20 days
that we were here, we took in
the Cape Nome Mining District,
but everything was located.
Then we went to work on Snow
Gulch for SO and SO per day, and
worked 40 days; then we came
to Anvil City and built us a
house-Size 12x14. Lumber at
that time was worth $125 per
1000 fit. now it is worth $175;
then l started for the Bonanza
Mining District. and Frank
Furgson went to rocking ON the
beach. 1t took me 15 days to
make the trip. l have been
working on the beach mine since
1 got back-4 days. We are
making about $40 each per day.
We would have done much better
if we had not went to work for
wages at all. but no one knew
about the beach diggins at that
time. There have been men that
rocked out as high as 5000 and
$500 a day, but l am of the opin-
ion that it will average about an
ounce a day to the man. Rock
ing is about over for this year,
for it has commenced freezing
and the days are getting short.
anvil City has a population
of about 5000. The streets are
black with people.
This is hard place for a
working man, for it has rained
all summer. / have been wet
through with rain ever since /
landed here, until the last few
days. 1t is now freezing up and
too cold to rain. / would not
advise any one to come here to

sThe Only Oyster I'm the stew.

When your head begins 10 swell
Till it seems TO burst the shell,
And you throw boquets of fiattery at yourself
Don't you let your bogus pride thurst your
common sense aside,
Or you're liable TO tumble from the shelf
There is room enough for all ON this whirl-
ing earthly ball.
1t was not created for favored few,
SO remember as you rush with your elbows
In the push,
That you're not the only oyster in the stew.
