STUBBS' FATE IN
HANDS OF JURY

II rs probable that the fate of Fred
Stubbs, who has been on trial for the
past three days in the superior court
for the murder of Thomas Vandiver,
will be settled this evening. The
case went to the jury at 1:15.
The argument of the defense was
that no testimony had been intro
duced to show who fired the shot,
and that the gun was discharged
while both Stubbs and Allen had hold
of it.

At Deaths Call.

The following extract from the col umns of the Evening Pajaronian, Wat sonville, Calif., of April 18th, will be in- teresting to many of our readers:
 These several years near the half century mark in the American settle ment of Pajaro valley are bringing ire quent calls from the Angel of Death to those who led the van in the good old days. The latest to answer the sum- mons is Mrs. Elizabeth s. Ureu, wife of N. A. Uren. She passed away last night Warnings of the approaching end had been received of late and the final one came yesterday, barely in time to per init the hasty summoning of the family, all of whom were present at the last hour except the eldest son, who is in far away Alaska. Mrs. N. A. Uren, nee Elizabeth s. Norris, was born in New York City, December 9, 1886, of Eng fish parentage. She came to California via Panama in 1852 and was welded to N. A. Uren at Stockton in that year, when but sixteen years of age. The of fciating minister, Rev. Sheldon, is in Pacific Grove at the present time. The golden wedding anniversary was cele- brated in this city on November 7th of last year. In 1856, with her husband, she came to Watsonville and settled on their farm in Springfield. There the happy couple resided for forty-four years. The last three years of life hay ing been passed in this city. Of the seven sons born to this good mother, four are now living. They are N. A. Uren, Jr., of Alaska, J. R. Uren of Sa- inas, J. w. Uren of Berkeley and G. s. Uren of this city. The latter are twins. Two brothers survive her, Wm. R. Nor ris of this place and Stephen Norris of Missouri. For many years the deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church. She was consistent Christian and faithful and devoted wife and mother. Respected by all who knew her and dearly loved by relatives and friends, her life has been one of those beautiful existences by which the world is made better. Through sincerity, sym pathy for others, and loving helpful ness she became endeared beyond meas ure to the many whose earnest condo lence is now offered to the bereaved family. The funeral will take place from the Presbyterian church tomor- row, Thursday, April IA, 1904. at 2 o'clock p. m. Interment will be in l. o. o. F. cemetery.

The District Court.

Promptly at 10 o'clock last Monday U. S. Marshal Shoup pronounced the formula that opened the May term of the U. s. District Court, at Juneau. The present term is held in the new court house on high climb hill, and the beautiful view from the windows will certainly have it's effect on all concern ed.
 The court, however, wasted none of the precious moments in dreamy spec ulation, but started things off with a rush and in exactly sixty minutes the grand jury was called up, sworn, ques- tioned, pruned down, sworn again, charged and turned over to the tender mercies of the bailiff.
 The personnel of the grand jury is most peculiar, in that they represent the old timer element to finish. One young man stated that his residence in Alaska covered period of only four brief years, but that was counteracted by the man who come to these shores thirty years ago. Then there were those who came in 1875 and 1876, and whole bunch of IS year boys.
 Judge Brown, in his charge to the grand jury, noted with evident pleas ure the fact that s E. Alaska is free from crime to remarkable extent, and that in the majority of cases-although not in all-violators of the law were speedily brought to justice. A certain class of misdemeanors, notably gamb- ling, should, in the opinion of the Judge, be looked after by the commis- sioners, however, as they had failed so to do, the grand jury was instructed that it fell within the line of their duty to look into the matter.
 After the grand jury was disposed of, the petit jury was taken through very much the same course of sprouts, and then the machinery of the court was ready for business.
