DOCTORS NARROW ESCAPE.
Alleged Attempt to Assassinate a
Princeton Physician.

Special to the Indianapo Journal.
PRINCETON, Ind, Oct. 9.-It has just
come TO light that what may have been
attempt at assassination was made Tues
day night on DR.. S. F. Gilmore. one of this
citys leading citizens and widely known
professionally. DR.. Gilmore had been in the
country with his automobile and was re-
turning about o'clock. AS he passed a
clump of trees on a lonely part of the road
about three miles south of here a shot
was fred from the trees. The doctor real
lied that the bullet had come dangerously
close, and without stopping to investigate
he increased the speed and came 10 town
in hurry. On examination he found that
the bullet had passed through the lapels
of his coat.
Whether the single shot was an attempt
at assassination, with robbery I'm view, or
whethcr it was fired accidentally, may
never be known, as investigation failed TO
lead TO any clews. The matter was kept
quiet for several days in hopes that the
investigation could be more easily made.

 The meagor news that found its way to the public created considerable ex- and several stampede parties were formed, only to meet an untimely end for want Of information.

IS PROPERLY
Judge Wickersham Fixes
 Status of Dogs

E. NJ. Barnes, the attorney, who late ly came out from Rampar, but is now in Juneau, was concerned professional ly in a dog stealing case while down the river. The cause was tried before Judge Wickersham, who has iorward- ed Attorney Barnes an opinion upon the status of Alaskan dogs. The judge in part says;
 "The dog is not specifically mem toned in the statutes of Alaska among the animals or other property subject to larceny. II it is property whose taking is larceny it must be because it is included within the phrase goods and chattels.' It is also urged chat as Section 43 of the penal code provides a specific penalty for the long list of do- nestle animals, in which the dog is not mentioned, it is necessarily excluded from the protection of the law. Sec tion 43, however, does not specifically mention hogs or sheep yet it can scarcely be contended that they are not the subject of larceny Gold dust is not specifically mentioned, yet it can- not be doubted that it's unlawful taking may be punished as larceny
 The judge, therefore decides that dogs are valuable property

GOOD VALUE
New Years Gifts Should Be
 Carefully Chosen

A we'll chosen New Years gitt even though not expensive, is better than a costly present that is unsuitable to the needs of the recipient. Eimse's stock has been carefully chosen to suit his patronage and includes objects that are useful as well as ornamental, and though all of the best, vary in price to degree that will suit jhe pockets of all his customers. Clocks, watches. jew els, fine bric-a-brac, cut glass, art porcelain and a choice collection of Inc dian curios and souvenirs of the couu- try, afford a stock from which all in- tending purchasers can thoroughly gratify themselves and be sure of pleas ing the friends to whom they intend making New Years presents. Every thing in the store is exactly what it pertains to be aud customers will re- ceive the best of value for their money.

One of the arguments that will be brought forward in support of pending bills repeating the law permitting the location of mining claims by power Of attorney is the annual report of Gov. Brady. who had che following to say on this subject
 "There is a universal cry by the miners of Alaska against the abuse of locating mining and other claims by power Of attorney This is carried on to such aa extent chat pretty soon there vrl be hardly any area left in Alaska for exploration, as witness what was stated in regard Co oil looa- tions at Yakutat. where two men locat- ed 5l.3o0 acres of land under the placer mining act. It is hardly supposable that they have even driven the stakes upon that amour, of land. yet they have recorded i,. and it is sufficient Go deter others from going upon it and eN- ploring.
 "Now this kindo' thing has been going on au along che southern coast of Alaska. making locations for oil and coal and au through che placer min ing region. When men the past win- ter rushed Go che Panama. at grea, lac bor and expense. they found the whole region s,aked. and nothing but ieel- ing Of disgust came over them
 "Concress should at once remedy this kind of abuse. Prospect0rs who make discoveries have, of course, the right to take their choice of location, and all miners are willing that they should be allowed Co make an additional loca,i-n as reward for their discovery. Those people who oa,d, prospec,0rs should expect to have no other reward than to share in the claims which the prospec- tor is allowed Co have. Now a man comes here armed with a load of pow CTS of attorney legally executed, and can go into a district and de it all up for a couple of years. This produces disc0nteut
 Congress will rer5ive the thanks of all the miners and tair-miudsd people it it will amend the laws to cure this evil during ,he coming session
 Upon this subject Gov. Brady cer- tainly expresse, che opinion of the peo- pie 0t Alaska.
