RIGHT EXPLANATION
DeNorton- -Coslett Controversy Game
 Up Again Yesterday

Our evening reflection got things slIgat- ly awry yesterday in the. attempted des- criptlon of the DeNorton-coslctt ogai controversy.
 In order to present the matter as it now really stands. the Alaskan begs to submit that DcNorton andl Blumaur brought suit against Joseph Coslett md Emory Valentine fin regard to the prop. erty where the Mug restaurant now stands. and an accounting for the ac- crued rents and profits. A decree wns entered for plaintiff against Coslett and Valentine. adjudging plaintiffs were own CTS of m undivided one-half interest in the property and that neither of the de- fcndants had any title to the property. but that Mrs. Coslett. wife Of the defend ant Joseph Coslett. was the owner Of tho other undivided one-half interest.
 Judge Brown made his finding on the supposItlon that Mrs. Cosiett was 9 party to the suit. but his attention being called to the matter. and finding that she was not a party to the suit, modified his decree by striking out of it all reference to Mrs Coslett
 The finding and decree m favor of the plaintiffs were not disturbed or attackel in any way. and the discussion yeSter'iIy In court was as to how Mrs. Coslc't might have her rights adjusted as between "r self and defendants Joseph Cos'ett Q" Valentine. whether by being made oar' ty to the present suit, or by bringing . separate and independant action against one or both of them for that purpose.

SAVED BY VISION
Mystifying Circumstance Connected
 With Goddard Wreck

In connection with the loss near Carl bou Crossing Of the Yukon river steamer Goddard. very curious circumstance has been reported in a letter just received by a Victoria lady from her son. a resident Of White Horse.
 The letter which Is referred to bears the date Of October last-being written and mailed before misfortune had befai- len the unlucky steamer-and this is what makes up the interest of It.
 .sThe engineer Of the Goddard dream ..a ,aat- r.I.xhi.., tho Writar says. that he saw the steamer sins In Lake LeBnrgc. a ,d this morning he Gatly refused to sail on her Now what do you think of that for superstition!'
 Just eight days after that the Goddard went to pleces-upon the very voyage which the fantastic minded engineer de- cllncd to make

 Had he not taken that strange dream to be a warming there is small human doubt but that 1t would have been hs life that would have been sacrificed.
 Perhaps it was mere coincidence perhaps our dreams are meaningless and insignificant.
 But you can never convince that en- ginccr that such is so

 Mir. Wndt. In the course of hs remarks. demanded that the work SO far done on the wing dam he removed to point where it would connnc the river in It's natural channel: as if lcfi In the present position it would menace the lives and propcrty of himself and ncighbors. The continuation of the work on present lines meant simply ruin and death to the pco- plc living on the west shorc of the Skag- way riycr Q
 Mir. Wildt snld that this was also the opinion Of expert civll engineers whom he had consulted on the subject. Also that the work was being done with public to benefit private interests.
 According to Mir. wildts idea the west shore should be protected with row Of bling run parallel with those put tn on the east side otherwise the work w"ild work horrible harm. and not benefit the city one iota.
