JUDGE WICkERSHAM
 DEFINES TITLE.

The following is the opinion of Judge Wickersham rendered i'll his decision in the case of Sawyer vs. Van Hook at Eagle the last of Oc- tober. The decision is important, in that 1t has direct bearing upon the right of possession of property ill a plated townsite on unsurveyed lands in Alaska:
 It is there provided "tlat until otherwise ordered by ycongress lands in Alaska may be entered for town site purposes, for the several use and benefit of the occupants of such townsites, by such trustee or trus- tees as may be named by the Secre tary of the Interior for that pur pose, such entries to be made un- der the provisions of section 2387 of the R. s. as near as may be. ' This section provides that "When ever any portion of tbe public lands have been or may be settled upon or occupied as a towuSite, 1t shall be lawful to enter the land so settled and occupied in trust for the several rSe and h. n lift 70 the occupants thereof, according to their respective interests
 These statutory provisions show that it was the intention of con- greSs to dispose of lots in townsites in Alaska only t, those who would possess and use them. Title there to can be obtained only through settlement or occupancy. "Settled upon' means taking possession of; it includes such an improvement of the lot by the erection of buildings or fences, or by actual residence thereon, or by such other acts of possession and improvement as clearly and enthusiastically show that 1t is bona fde the intention of the settler to take and hol1 possession of tue lot, and that his possession

'sadani Nakanura, Haranizumura,

This is the address given by the great
and mighty contractor for the Japanese,
who Is sojourning in America for the
purpose of making money and seeking
relief from the Mikado Of Japan because
of his leaving the Jap army without
leave or furlough papers.
The address translated is "Sadani Ma
kanura, Silver Bow County Montana"
Nakanura is at present resting in the
official arms of City Jailer Sol Levy on
charge of having attempted to MUIR
der Hairu Honda, fellow countryman,
who lives on West Porphyry street.
Two Celestial Romances.
In connection with the arrest are two
stories of Japanese romance-one of
which was given birth in the Mikado's
domains and the other climaxed with a
gun play on the wilds of the bad
lands" of Butte.
Nakanura is a contractor Of paper
hanging, house painting and interior
decorating of the highest Jap" STYLE
At times. according to his story, he had
large sums-at one time $4,000.
When the bundle of bills came into the
possession of Nakanura he bought a
gun. on the principal of doing as Ameri-
cans do.
Nakanura had been hosotu under
1chno Marshal Ito. He had done things
for his country, but became horoyoi in
service, and to avoid the penalty of too
much intoxicants left his wife and four
children and fled to America.
Here he worked as a miner and be-
gan to accumulate riches, which per-

Trouble in Butte.
He succeeded until he came to Butte
and fell in with the Japanese horatsu,
the hoshi of the race, and with whom he
was kosai until a koron occurred.
Hairu Konda was the one with whom
the koron happened. Honda, says Nam
kanura, was hoshi and began the shuso,
invoking the act of satsubatsu, which
ended in Nakanura being arrested last
night by the police on charge of hav-
ing threatened to kill Honda and with
having actually discharged a revolver
through the Honda window.
Honda says that Nakanura had grown
horeru with one of the Japanese women,
of whom Honda has two. according to
the interpreter. One was Tsuki-no-
mono, and this caused the trouble.
Revolver Is Produced.
Chief Reynolds and Detective Jerry
Murphy gave able support to the city
jailer in his attempts at translation, but
fed in dismay when Officer Young ap-
peared with a double barreled derringer
of 41-calibre, which gave evidence of
not having been discharged inside of
year.
After much trouble an interpreter was
obtained and the story was told in
English, which showed conclusively that
Nakanura had been in bed when the shot
was fired, and that one of the canuka-
rus of Honda had done things through
jealousy and ascribed to- acts to Ma
kanura.
Because of this the shirabe of the po-
lice has been suspended and the koron
of the foreigners was turned over to the
county attorneys office.

municative in this article can be cleared
