IN JUDGE MOoRE,s COURT.
Some Transactions In Horse Flesh Heard
BY His Honor.

George Huff was given a hearing before
Justice William Moore on Tuesday. He was
charged by Charles Turtle with stealing a
grey mare from his stable on Monday night
last. Both parties live in Westminster. The
evidence showed that there had been some
negotiations between the men on Monday
morning as to the sale and purchase of the
mare. 1t appeared that the price agreed upon
was $40; also that Turtle agreed to take s.. so.
At night Huff went to Turtles stable and took
the mare, and then sent SO to pay for her.
Turtle was not at home and his wife refused
to accept the money, as she did not know any
thing of the transaction. The boy who car
ried the money left il at Turtles house. JUS
tice Moore discharged Huff, and Huff now
threatens to sue Turtle for $3.50, the amount
paid in excess, as alleged, that Turtle agreed
to take.
CASE FROM NEW WINDSOR,
George Disney and Keener Thompson,
both colored, of New Windsor neighborhood,
were before Justice Moore on Wednesday
afternoon. They we're charged by John Rob
inson with stealing the use of his horse and
buggy and cutting up the harness. The steal
ing occurred on the night of March %. The
team was standing in front of saloon 10 New
Windsor and was found later in front OF Dis
ney's house, near that place. The evidence
showed that Disney was in town and near the
saloon. Robinson, who was in the saloon,
heard the horse and buggy move away, and
coming out discovered his team was gone.
search was instituted and the horse and buggy
we're found, as stated, in front of Disney's
home. Keener Thompson was discharged, as
the evidence was not sufficient to hold him,
though it is suspected that he knows who took
the team. Disney was held for the action of
the grand jury in the sum of $500. Bail was
furnished by Mr.. Snader, of New Windsor.
Weant appeared for the state; Henriug for
the accused

A Surprise.

A score or more of the young folks assembled at the home of Master John Museth, last Monday evening to sur prise him. He was surprised.
 The usual games enjoyed on such oc- casions were introduced and the fun waxed fast and furious, and continued until Alaska's summer night was break ing into an early dawn.
 Among those present were the follow ing: John Museth, Ernest Powell, Al. Christoe, Bernie Noonan, Irwin War ren, Wm. Glasson, Wm. Mccormick, Tom and Waldo Kelly, Sam Gaufin. Charles Johnson, Agnes, Nora, Thrina and Minnie Museth, Elna Olson, Rosa Conrad, Mildred Powell, Alice and Katie Coggins, Bessie Johnson, Verna Bean, Jennie Glasson, Ruth Campbell, May Miller, Alice and Lenora Bach and Maudie Lilystrand.

An Alaska Shelter.

If there are any persons who have been skeptical as to the building of smelter by the Brown-Alaska Company, they can now set their fears wholly at rest, says the Ketchikan Mining Journal. Mir. Paul Johnson, under whose management and immedi- ate personal supervision the enter prise is to be carried. forward, together with his assistants, arrived here Thurs day, and left the same day for the To- cation for the purpose of at once be- ginning the work of construction. The contract for the building has been let, the contractor is on the ground, and the work will be pushed with all pos sible vigor. All the machinery has been purchased, the Allis-ChamberS company supplying the engines and l5 ton blower, while the Moran Bros., of Seattle, have contracted to furnish the stacks and the furnace within twenty days from the time when the order was given. The management is having built on the Sound 200-ton barge, in which the machinery will be lowed from Seattle to it's destination, and which will afterwards be used for the transportation of custom ores from the different mines to the smelter There will be no delay in the construc- tion work; on the contrary determin- ed effort will be necessary to get the buildings ready for the reception of the machinery when it arrives. The management is seemingly determined to make good it's promise of having the plant ready to "blow in' by the begin ming of another year. In the mean time, it might be we'll for mine owners who either have or expect to have ores to sell or smelt to consider the practic- ability of holding them for the benefit of the new smelter, and probably much to their own advantage.
Douglas Island news., 1903-06-17

The Douglas boys went over to Ju- neau last Sunday to play base ball, but the Juneau aggregation proved too much for them. While the Douglas boys are endowed with considerable natural ability, the fact remains, that they need practice.

 Already the small boy and the fire cracker are getting in their work. Last Monday fire was discovered on the roof of Oliver Andrews house as re- suit of the dangerous little crackers. The blaze was extinguished by MT. An drews and his wife, with the aid of few pails of water.
 Mrs. Hammond, wife of Supt. Frank Hammond, of the Sheep Creek Mines, was thrown from buggy Monday last while driving along the road leading up to the mines. The lady was severely injured, receiving numerous cuts about the head and face. Her daughter, who was riding with her, was not injured.
 A pleasant social event was the party at the home of MT. and Mrs. John Bean last Friday evening, in celebra- tion of their Crystal wedding. The af- fair was planned by their friends and was complete surprise to the couple, who were the happy recipients of beautiful cut glass punch bowl. The evening was spent in social converse, dancing and the enjoyment of tasty lunch.
 Mir. Ernst Beihl called at the News office last Saturday and put another years subscription into the "Meal Tub" MT. Beihl and his family ex- pect to leave Douglas some time next month to make their home in St. Jo- seph, Mo.
