CUES. Will you please let me know
il there is any law by which a person
can be prosecuted for making and fling
an affidavit of assessment work, when
there has been no work performed up
on the claim?
AN OLD SUBSCRIBER.
Ans-I do not believe there is any
such law under the code of Alaska. A
person can perform the amount of work
required by law without doing the
same within the boundaries of the
claim, such as building bitches, roads,
etc, as explained in THE NUGGET of
January 6 in answer to similar ques-
ton.
1t has the SAVIOR of perjury in my be-
lief when a person files an affidavit of
representation for a claim on which
there has been no work done, nor any
work outside of its boundaries, which
would come under the liberal rulings
Of the courts, as tending to develop the
claim and complying with the law.
To constitute perjury at common law
the false testimony must be in a judi
cial proceeding, or cause of justice.
The making of false affidavit in any
other than judicial proceedings it has
been said, is not technically perjury,
though it. is mlsdemeanor. zone
should consult an attorney when it
comes to misdemeanors) Therefore
false swearing in voluntary affidavit,
made before justice of the peace or
notary, before whom no case is depend
ing and under no statutory procedure.
is not perjury.

Many believe as ga" claims, having
heard that the pressure at great depths
is many thousands of pounds per square
inch. Take the case OF the bottom of
the ocean at the above depth. and
every article or object on the bottom is
subject to pressure, or load, of about
%, 1lS pounds per square inch, or in the
neighborhood of IL tons upon every
square inch OF surface. AT first
thought, to the majority, it seems
absurd that cannon ball, rock or even

Webster City, July SIN order TO
get possession OF his s-months-old
babe, l. n. Moore last evening preferred
charges Of insanity against his wife,
Clara Moore, hoping to get her into
the insane asylum and thls to get the
child. He had succeeded in getting her
into an asylum in Nebraska sine time
ago, and supposed that because she had
once been there It would be any easy
matter to get her returned. The eft
fort was SO palpable a farce, however.
that the commissioners Of insanity
promptly dismissed the matter. finding
Mrs. Moore to be as sane as anyone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore have been mar
ried but twp years. Mr,. Moore was
formerly Miss Clara Taylor. daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. r. Taylor, of this
city. After their marriage the couple
Went from this city to Long Pine,
Nebraska. Mrs. Moore ia of a nervous
temperament and after some months Of
married life the couples path became
somewhat beset with therns. Before
the birth OF their child Mr.. Moore
succeeded In getting his wife into an
insane asylum in that stiite. She was
released twice and both times was re-
turned by her husband to the institu-
ton. Officers here are loath to believe
that the woman was ever insane and
characterize the treatment accorded
her by her husband as nothing short of
cruelty and constituencies in the ex-
treme. They do not hesitate to shy.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Taylcr corrobor,lte
them. that Moore brought the charge
Of insanity against his wife merely to
get possession of his babe.
From the evidence adduced at the
hearing before the board of insanity
commissioners, 1t appear that Mooie's
parents, who reside at Long Pine, want
the child. 1t was in order that he
could get the baby and take 1t to his
parents that the attempt was made
to get Mrs. Moore into the insane a;y-
lum.
Mrs. Moore will remain in this city
with her parents and will probably
never go back to her husband.

of starting a public subscription fund
for the new building. and 1t Is probable
that this idea will be carried out later
in the season. The steady growth m
all the departments of the association
work, and the necessity for larger ac
commodations for rest and luncn
rooms makes moving from the present
quarters Imperative. 1t is almost i'm
possible to find suitable rooms for as

find building almost forced upon them.
An association home could be made a

plan for building is being made.
