Mormon Joe" Moore Has To Pay q Fine for Attacking A. Brotbsok.

Joe Moore, familiarlv known as "Mor- mon Joe," was convicted or assault and battery in Judge SehIbrede's court vester- dav The assault was committed on August Brotbeck, who drives the milk wagon for Schaffer's dairy, who was the complaining witness.
 Bratbeck's testimony was to the effect that he was going along Eighth avenue near the premises of Moore, when he was suddenly aecosted by Mrs. Moore who told him to keep away from her premises. Brotbeck replied that he was on the street and that he had right to use 1t In a free country and proposed to do so, whereupon Mrs. Moore threw stick at him. He had not yet gotten away, he said. when Joe Moore came out and commenced pummeI- ing him. He broke away and ran.
 Mrs. Moore claimed that "the Dutch- man" made faces at her as he passed. hence the assault.
 The jury found Mormon Joe" guilty, and he was fined $2s and costs. He was committed to the custody of the marshal until the fine is paid.

John Pringle Returns.

The Rev. John Pringle returned on the Danube and is going back to Atlin. There was rumor that he would not return, as he had a ''call'' to Toronto, but the ''call" of bigger salary did not weigh with what he thought his duty. He has a hos pital in Atlin and also lot of young men to look after. In his corduroy suit and his six feet of wholesome humanity he is the beau-ideal of frontier parson. and in Bennett and Atlin is extremely pop ular. Therefore, that he should return in the face of big salary call from Toronto and also one from Dawson, should doubly endear him to the friends he has made In Atlin.

BRICK CHIMNfYS.
Councilman Laumeister Has Now
 No Trouble About Them.

Ind difference between the requests of body of counclmen without any legal au- thority to enforce its wise decisions and those of an incorporated body is well dem> onstrated in the matter of defective flues and stove pipes. for the work on which in the part of John Laumeister must expect his reward in the hereafter.
 The ordinance of the new council for brick chimnevs has been properly recop- nized and complied with as far as possible. Bernard Burg, the chimney builder, has put in over 2so chimnevs since the passage of this ordinance. and he has orders for "Oh, Heaven knows how many" he says. but certainly over fifty.
 It is good to see the readiness of the cit- lzens to comply with this reasonable com mand of the new council. The only thing In the way of carving 1t out at an carly date is the want of brick, and in this regard the railroad company will probably helr matters along by loaning brick until the next boat arrives.

CORBtTT BEATS M'COY
He Knocks Him Out in Five Clear
 Rounds.

Kid Mccoy met Corbett in the ring before the Nineteenth Century Club in New York City on August 90. The Kid was never as fit in his life, and he weighed several pounds more than he had ever entered the ring with before. The betting was even, or nearly so, Corbett being slightly the favorite; but the Kids confident behavior and his clever sparring in the first three rounds turned the betting in his favor. But in the fifth round Corbett rained blows upon him to such an extent that he could not defend himself; merely folded his arms to protect his head; and Corbett got in two blows in sue cession on his heart. The Kid went down under the last of these but only failed by brief space in coming to time.

unmistakable evidences of good times

lode mining people. A great deal OF
machinery has gone into Elizabethtown.

ment OF these camps is progressing with
highly gratifying results to miners and
investors.
