Subscriber Who Failed to Notify the
Publisher to Stop His Paper.
Justice Johnson, of, St. Paul, has 6e-
cided in the case of the Odd Fellows Re-
view against John Gaffey, that if a Sub
scriber desires to have a paper discon-
tinued to his address, he must firset pay
the publisher the amount he owes for
subscription, and make a. request that
the paper be discontinued to his address.
The evidence in the case brought forth
the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid
for the Review for one year, and that
he continued to accept it after his SUBJ
scription had expired. Later he changed
his address without notifying the pub
Usher, and claimed not to have received
the PAPER. This, the court held, was
through no fault Of the publishers, who
receis ed a judgment for the amount due
and c1sts.

The society baseball game which was
played Saturday afternoon at the Co.
lumbia Baseball Park between the
of the South Side and
the Standards of the West Side re-
suited in victory for the Emergen-
cies by a score of to 4. The West
Side boys came over in a tallyho, &C
companied by their lady friends, who
wore the Standards colors and every
effort was made by the fair ones to
cheer their favorites to victory, but
the fast playing of the Emergencies
brought defeat, and you never saw
more disappointed crowd of girls, in
Guiding few from the South Side
who wore the Standards colors in
order to ride on the tallyho. The
feature of the game was the brilliant
work of the Emergencies, especially
that of G. Alexander and Captain Az
endorph. The two teams will meet
again Sept. list. The score-7 to 4.

GOOD GRAVEL IN GOLOvIN.
Fifteen Cents to the Pan Found ON
Bonanza Creek.

Manager Hastings. of the Alaska Com
mercial Company at st. Michael. arrived
at Nome January 10. accompanied by Louis
Zypf. who Is connected with the company
and who has lately been prospecting at
Golovin bay. Hastings started originally
with Census Inspector Durham. but was
forced to put back because of sprained
ankle. He took a small quantity OF mail
from st. Michael.
Up to that time, say advces to the Post
Intelligencer dated at Nome. January II.
no mail had reached there from the out
side since the arrival of the steamer AL
pha last fall January ] none had arrived
AZ ST. Michael except from as far up as
Circle City.
As to the mineral development of Colo
win and Norton bays. Hastings reports
that they are good prospective countries.
Some OF the statements In regard to them
however he said were exaggerated. The
best his men In that country had been able
to get on Christmas creek was from 1 to
cents a pan. He outftted the prospectors
and gave them money. agreeing to give
them half interest In what they located.
He said the prospcctors thought well
enough OF tho claims To go ahead and
work them. Hastings said that Zypf got
Is cents 10 the pan on Golovin hay.

Company G, Seventh infantry. the mill
tary force which the war department will
station at Valdes, arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon at 2 O'Clock from the
Columbus barracks in Ohio. The detach-
ment win renew the Journey, sailing to-
night on the transport Rosecrans. Capt.
J. b. Jackson is in command Of the COM
pany, which numbers 100 men. The mill
tary forces came west over the Northern
Pacific. occupying three coaches OF the
train. Their baggage and equipment ex-
ceeded 5000 pounds
Company G saw service in the Spanish
American war. 1t participated in the bat
tie Of FL Caney, in which engagement
Capt Jackson was wounded. The captain
also figured conspicuousy in the Santiago
campaign. His company engaged in the
thickest Of the Ell Caney fight. as was
shown by the fact that eight Of his men
were killed and seventeen wounded. Only
two or three of the wounded are now with
the company. The captain was shot in
the head and narrowly escaped death.
Capt. Jackson has had twenty-seven
years Of service in the army, and during
that time has earned an enviable reputa-
ton as a soldier particularly as a frontier
fighter. He was stationed in the Dakotas,
Montana and Wyoming during the terri
torial days and the Indian wars. In per-
sonal appearance he is past middle-age
ana rather lower IN stature IMAM many
of the officers OF the army, though he is
as quick and active as lieutenant of q.
His complexion is light and his hair and
mustache are literally tinged with gray.
OF the various military forces sent to
the Philippines and Alaska by way of Sc
attic there has not been finer appearing
body OF men than Company G. Its men,
bers as the company is now constituted
are nearly all young men of athletic build,
and in every manner fitted for military
duty.
The moment the train came to a stand
still In front OF the Arlington dock the sol
diers began trucking the company's and
their personal effects onto the wharf,
whence they were put aboard the trans
port, which lay along the north side OF
the dock. Several hundred civilians gath
cred about. watching the progress Of the
work.
Capt. Robinson, OF the quartermaster's
department, and several Of Gen. Randalls
officers were at the dock to greet the WIS.,
iting military.
Besides stores and supplies for the sol
diers the Rosecrans will carry 100000 feet
OF lumber for the construction of the
Valdes army post buildings and barracks.

CHRISTMAS AT NOME.
wbite-Bearded santa Claus and
Real Reindeer Dash Over snow.

A unique scene was presented at the st.
Bernard chapel Christmas afternoon, says
the Nome Gold Digger of December q,
when two magnificent reindeer, hitched to
a sleigh, dashed up, having white-bearded
Santa Claus, otherwise Kris Kringle,
aboard. The patriarch was loaded down
with presents and carried them In and
distributed them to children and grown
folks alike.
While he was within. the reindeer.
which had been driven by DIR. Gambeli.
and which were managed by a Laplander
on foot in his picturesque Iapland cos
tune, took fright at some dogs and ran
more than n mile away to Dry creek.
The sleigh careened wildly several times,
but the doctor proved himself a skillful
Jehu. and eventually quieted them. Prob
ably this is the first time in America that
reindeer were ever utilized in these pref
test Of all. the Christmas. festivities.
Inside the chapel there was a Christmas
tree. a handsome spruce, got by Rev. ID.

cwn and his work Is far removed from the
ordinary. Seattle audience has rarely
shown more genuine appreciation OF an
actors work than last night.
From the opening of the first act to the
fall of the curtain on the third and last

laughter. Without any exception, no bet
ter comedy production has been seen In
Seattle this season than that OF "Mr.

no better opportunity to display II could
be found than in his present play.
All the rest of the cast are particularly

Pacific Coast Company Lays Tracks
ON Disputed Part of Railroad Ave-
nue and Gets Out IntuncffOna.


The three-cornered unpleasantness be-
tween the Seattle & San Francisco Rail-
way & Navigation Company. the Pacific
Coast Company and the Stetson & Post
Min Company has narrowed down to a
legal controversy between the two former
The officials of the first-named firm were
served with injunctions Saturday even
ing, sworn out by the Pacific Coast Com
pany, restraining them from going ahead
with their work on the disputed part OF
Railroad avenue and from keeping their
piIedriver on the track Of the Pacific
Coast Company. The injunctions will be
heard in court April q.
All day yesterday the crew of the Pa
ciHc Coast Company were busy driving
piles on their alleged part Of the avenue.
They tore up the wharf on the east side OF
the mill yard and laid track on ties.
The lumber pile which caused Saturdays
watery battle wss put aside without him
drance from the mill people. The latter
say all they objected to Saturday, when
they drove of the Seattle & San Fran
cisco men. was that they were given no
notice.
The Seattle & San Francisco rested on
its oars yesterday 1t will begin work i'm
mediateiy. however, on the fifteen feet OF
the franchise which has not been enjoined.
The limit of the franchise is June u.s. and
the tracks must be ready by that time.
The Pacific Coast Company's franchise
was granted. It is said. four or five years
ago. John Leary, who is member OF the
rival organization, says that when the city
government granted his company its fran
chise the council probably thought the Pa
cfic Coast Company had abandoned its
rights to the disputed fifteen feet.
