ICE FLoE STRUCK SCHOONER,

Machias, February l3.-During the
heavy northeast storm this afternoon. u
large field of ice driven down ths bay
by the derce gale came in contract with
schooner Alaska. Captain Libby, from
Spencer's island, y. 3, for New York,
pile laden. which had been lying here two
weeks awaiting favorable weather in
which to proceed. The Alaska's ground
tackle parted and the vessel was forced
into collision with the schooner Forest
Belle. The Alaska lost her jibboom and
powsprit AMI all her head-gear. In
addition she had her boats stove and
davits carried away. Damage to her hull
will compel extensive repairing.
The ice in the harbor is of unusual
thickness and much damage to shipping
will be done IL the cold continues.

OFFICERS ARE SLOW.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings
Used in the Joel Martin
Case.


Habeas corpus papers, for the
release of Joel Martin, charged
with the murder of his sister in the
Territory week ago, were served
upon Court Marshal Jackson, who
was holding Martin for the terri
tory officers, Wednesday morning.
Marshal Jackson was instructed to
appear in the probate court
Wednesday and show cause why
Martin should be held. Dooley &
Keith were Martins attorneys.
When Martin was arrested Sat-
urday evening, it was done upon
suspicion and without warrant.
Mr.. Jackson Immediately notified
the territory officers of the arrest
but they were so slow in acting
that the time for holding a prison.
ar expired. United States Mar
shI w. E. Shipley was in the city
Tuesday night with warrant for
Martin, but it was not served and
Martin was left in Jail. Court
Marshal Jackson took the prisoner
to Independence Wednesday
morning to have the hearing in
probate court.
When the case was called Pro-
bate Judge Ferrell granted the
writ of habeas corpus and released
Martin. Court Marshal Jackson
Immediately rearrested Martin on
the charge of being fugitive from
justice. This charge will hold the
prisoner for fifteen days and dur
ing that time it is hoped that the
territory officers will be able TO
come here and get their prisoner.
Mr.. Jackson returned to Coftey-
vile with his prisoner at 1:l5 p.
m. Wednesday. Martin is now in
Jail here.
This kind of proceedings has
more than once released territory
criminals arrested and held in
Kansas and caused their rearrest
and unnecessary expense. The
territory officials are altogether toe
slow.
