Receiver Mckenzie was instructed by
the court to assume the management of all
the claims involved in the recefvershiD, OF
which there are six, to operate them If he
elected to do so, and to make a proper
accounting to the court for all receipts

$G0.000-$5,t0O for each claim
The allegations made in the petitions
rest on the facts set forth in the following
statement made by one who is conversant
with the history of the Anvil Creek claims.
IN the months of September and Oeto-
Der, 1888, certain parties not then citizens

majority of the claims were located On
alleged powers of attorney in behalf of
persons not there and, in instances not in
the country.
After locating the properties many of
the original locators left the country, and

the pending Alaska Code bill declaring the
titles of claims staked by aliens to be in

ILLINOIS IN THE RACE.
To Test Which State Can Produce the
Greatest Mob Infamy.

Gilman, Ills, Aug. 2S.-Two men
dead, one fatally wounded, and two
more seriously injured was the result
of a fight made by a constable and
deputies backed by mob in attempt
ing to arrest DR.. Charlotte Wright,
who conducted a lying-in hospital in
Gilman. The trouble was precipitated
by the investigation of the coroner's
jury into the death of bessie Salter,
a 1G-year-old girl of Leonard, Ills,
who died in the hospital Friday night
under suspicious circumstances, her
parents assisting in keeping her case
dark. The coroner decided to arrest
Dr. Wright, and warrant was issued.
When Constable Milestead went to
serve the warrant he was accompanied
by half a dozen deputies and mob Of
100 or so ''enraged' citizens. The ac-
cuSed woman naturally expected to be
lynched and when the cOnStableSrSrOke

its intended victims could get away.

kept up until daylight. and a brother
of the dead Ryan was shot slightly.
The mob returned the fire until no re
turn was made, when a search OF
the bushes found Myers dead and Mrs.
Wright probably mortally wounded.
She was taken 70 the city hall. and
in spite OF her condition was so in dan
ger of mob violence that she was
hurried over to Watseka and put in
the Jail there for safety.
