Subsequently il was re- located by power of attorney for J. D. Jourden. who leased it, and his laymen went into possession and began extract ing gold thcrefrom. Plaintitl there fore asks to be given possession of both claims.
 Temporary restraining orders have been issued in these cases. and orders have been issued citing the defendants to show cause why the inJunctions should not be made permanent. These will be heard next Saturday.

1uCh Dissatisfaction Expressed Over the Actions of Judge NOyes'
 AmiCus Curiae.

United States Commissioner Morris J. Cochran does not seem to be popular with the miners of the kougarok. He is charged with acting in an arbitrary and high-handed manner. and his brand of justice is not that kind which pleases or soOthes. Recently he caused the ar- rest of ]. J. Walsh, who has lay on No. Dahl creek from x. T. Brander and Count Podhorski. Chas. Schneider. of NOme also claims an interest in the property, and Schneider also let lay to Drake and Ross. Walsh was on the claim, he says, and was ready to start sluicing, when one day Ross and Drake appeared and began to cut d drain through Walsh's dam. Walsh went to Commissioner. Cochran and tried to get a warrant for the arrest of the men. but he was denied it. He then went back and repaired the damage to his dam, when he himself was arrested, charged with taking away gold from the claim. Walsh was taken to Birch Hill, Commissioner Cochran's county seat. five or six miles above Mary 5 Igloo, and he says he was detained there six days. Then his bail was fixed at $2.OO0 and later brought to Nome. On Friday last he was liberated, bail having been provided.

A Persian Legend About the Crea-

A Persian Legend About the Crea-
tors Visit to Earth.
In Persia, ON morning after the YER
min had been particularly vigorous, L
said something caustic about getting
back TO Gods country. An Armenian
who had reposed in utter comfort in
the same caravansary heard IL and
smiled. Being an Armenian, he hated
the Persians, probably. incidentally
the Persian reciprocateS.
Well, this Armenian, rubbing his
hands and with his head skewed over
on one side, said: The Persians have a
legend for everything. They have a
legend for what you said just now. 1t
is this:
'Allah-that is God-once said to his
angel, 1 will see this world which
made
"And so Allah and the angel descend
ed invisible in n cloud to the earth.
and the first place at which they ar
rived was France-that is, in Feren-
ghistan. And there they saw the rail-
roads, and the tramways. and the the
aters, and the great picture galleries.
And Allah looked in disappointment
and said: Alas, no! This is not the
world which l made. l made none OF
these things
$50 they journeyed to Inglezistan-
that is, England - and there were
mighty ships in the harbors and huge
mills which make all sorts of things
and food in plenty. And again Allah
said: Alas, no! This is not the world
which l made And everywhere they
travelled in the cloud Allah looked upon
the land and said, No; this is not it.
at last, in despair, the angel led the
way to Persia, and Allah sat himself
down upon Il very high mountain, and,
looking far on every side, he saw nei-
Their railroads nor tramways nor thea
tiers nor picture galleries nor ships nor
mills nor schoolhouses nor plenty to

And Allah said: Yes, at last. This
is the world which 1 made. Not a

put there have done nothing"
