partially aired in Humphreys court yes

Successful Operetta.

The beautiful spectacular operetta
entitled Golden Hair and The Three
Bears, in five scenes with a chorus OF
30 voices under the direction of Mrs.
Carrie Clare last Friday and Saturday
evenings at Love hall, was success,
and was witnessed by fair sized audi.
enee which, though not so large as it
should have been, was very appreci.
alive. The singing of Miss Mae
Fontenrose and Mrs. Carrie Clare was
feature that was we'll worth listening
to. The escape of Golden Hair Miss
Amy Tusonl from the bears, relieved
the distress occasioned by her perilous
situation, and the end was as it should
be, the wicked queen deposed, new
king proclaimed, and the operetta
closed with stories of '1ong live the
king"

Johnnie Kerr Injured.

Last Saturday three boys from ANA
dor City went to the country with a
four-horse team for a load of water
melons. The names of the boys were
Johnnie Kerr, aged about sixteen
years, Charles Pratt, and Harry
Taylor. On the return, young Kerr
went out on the tongue of the wagon,
between the wheel horses, to strike
one OF the lead-horses which was not
keeping up with the others. After he
had succeeded in making the horse go
ahead all right, he stepped back along
the tongue to the wagon, but instead
of climbing back onto the seat, he
made spring for the ground, and
caught his foot in the lines, which
threw him in front of the wheels and
the wagon passed over him, breaking
one arm and both legs. The latest
information received at the Ledger
Office was that he was doing as we'll as
could be expected.

Quickest Work on Record.

The estate of Fred Werner of Suffer
Creek, was settled by the superior
court last Saturday. The final &C.
count showed receipts of 1877, 900, and
disbursements of $4,000, leaving s29, 600
for the legatees named in the will.
The nephew of deceased, Fred Werner
of Sutter Greek, received one-third of
the estate, and the sister of deceased
and her children, in Germany. the
balance. The state university received
out of the legacies per cent, or about
Sl450, under the collateral inheritance
tax law. All the property of the estate
was sold by the executor at good prices,
and the estate closed in ten months,
the speediest administration ever
known in the superior court of this
county of an estate of over $40, 900.
Indeed, the final account was filed on
the earliest day allowed under the law.
The executors account showed 13l
expenditure receipts, all of which were
produced. The account was satisfac-
tory to the court and to the legatees in
every respect. The court allowed the
executor, VIM. j. McGee, $1445 as
commissions, that being the amount
fixed by statute.

Dear Ledge

Dear Ledger
At present we, that is my brother
and |, are leading somewhat retired
life. We are prospecting for gold in a
deep canyon of one of the tributaries OF
the Chilcat, and enjoying the novelty
to its fullest extent. The mountains
are very steep, and generally covered
with timber and underbrush to the
height of several thousand feet, above
which are snow, lava, rocks and
glaciers. Some of the peaks are over
Il, 600 feet in height. We have abund-
ance of delicious berries, currants, fish,
and game. Peddlers and book agents
seldom modest Us, and we have few
callers except bears and porcupines,
who are sometimes inquisitive, but
never obtrusive. We go to the town
OF Porcupine, 10 miles distant, on Sat-
urday, when the weekly mail is brought
up from Haines by carrier, for which
we each pay dollar a month. Our
glorious government will not give MS a
post office, although it exacted more
than twenty-six hundred dollars $4,000
in taxes from the people of the town
this year. The Canadians are taking
steps to get post Office at the edge of
town on the north side of the movable
line, " as the modus vivendi provisional
boundary is called
Have just seen the new map of
Canada. 1t puts the line 80 miles
further south than they ever claimed
before, which will leave Skagway 20
miles inside the Kings dominions.
British diplomacy has already driven
the stars and stripes away from moro
than two thousand square miles of rich
territory that we bought from Russia,
and this new claim will make the total
area, bulldozed from Uncle Sam,
greater than all the gold fields of Cali
fornia. The English flag was actually
hoisted in Skagway'a- few weeks ago,
but was promptly cut down by George
Miller, brother of Joaquin, the poet.
We are all wondering whether Ameri-
cans must be kicked out OF the rest of
Alaska, or will Uncle Sam finally show
little of his old-time spirit.
This is rich region, and the ground
is most profitably worked by the
hydraulic plan. There is great
amount of wasteful and unskillful work
done. I have not seen an ounce of
quicksilver in camp, and ouly the
coarse gold is saved. The largest
nugget found this year was worth
$780, 40.
1 get the Ledger regularly, and note
with pleasure that the old editorial
warhorse is again on the turf. While
often differing with you, always re-
spected your independence and fear
lessness. Expect to be here until about
Nov. LIST, and then go to California for
the winter. Hope to have the pleasure
of set-to with the Jackson chess
champions before spring.
Yours truly,

BLEW HIS HEAD OFF.
A Laborer Under the Influence of Drink
Suicides in Suffer Greek.

John Coombs, a laborer by occupa.
ton, committed suicide in Aliens
lumber yard in Suffer Creek, on Sat-
urday morning last, while in state OF
mental depression, brought on by in-
diligence in liquor. Coroner Gritton
held an inquest the same day, before
the following jurors: V. Brignoli, E.
Shealor, P. H. Grady. Paul Guiliani,
D. Tarr, G. H. Potter.
Only two witnesses were examined,
the evidence being conclusive that it
was case of suicide.
H. r.. Higgins, clerk, stated that
he had talk with the deceased on the
morning of the 31st. He had left his
gun with him, but returned to get it;
also got piece of string, and produced
shell, remarking that he was going
to fix himself. When lie left the store,
he went toward Aliens lumber yard.
Higgins followed him a short distance,
and tried to persuade him to go back.
CoOmbs, however, told him TO go back
and attend to his own business, or he
would kill him also. The witness re-
turned TO tho store, got on a horse a
few minutes thereafter, and followed.
He heard shot, and proceeded to a
shed in the lumber yard, and found the
deceased lying there dead. A bottle
of wine was found on the wagon tongue
near by, which deceased did not have
when he left the store. The circum-
stances showed that the deceased had
fastened string to the trigger, placed
the muzzle of the gun to his head, and
discharged the weapon by pulling the
string with his foot.
Joseph Dover testified that deceased
was his stepson. He last saw him
alive on the evening of the Goth August.
He then made three attempts to end
his life by hanging himself. Deceased
was single man, 30 years of age, and
native of California.
The jury returned verdict that de-
ceased came to his death by a gunshot
wound in the head, inflicted by his own
hand, while suffering from mental de-
preston.
The remains were attended to by his
friends, and buried in the Suffer
Creek cemetery.

Only A Hat Pin.

A few days ago DR.. Lonigo was called
out to attend man who was supposed
10 have broken one of his ribs, and who
was suffering greatly. He had been
examined by somebody, who had used
the X Ray on him, aud who advised
him to apply to a surgeon and have
the broken rib extracted. So he sent
for DR.. LonigO, who found his patient
in great agony; in fact, the poor fell
low was in so much pain that he could
not be induced to sit still for examina-
ton until he had been given glass Of
whiskey, which enabled him to be in
different to the surroundings. Finally
the doctor, having his patient in the
desired position, and getting his surgi-
cal instruments ready, proceeded to in
vestigate the broken rib. He found
his side somewhat inhamed, and con-
cluded that no rib was broken, but
that something was wrong. So he
made an incision in the flesh, and with
his forceps he brought forth, not rib
nor bone of any kind, but real up
to-date hat pin, such as is used by
ladies in fastening the hat to their hair
The pin was broken, and had evidently
been thrust into the side of the man
and then broken off. No doubt the
fellow will have wholesome fear of
hat pins in the future, and will realize
that hat pin, in the hands Of plucky
woman, is quite formidable weapon
of defense.
