GIRLS DIDN'T STRIKE "COPS.'

HACKENSACK, Oct. 31:-Accus-
ed of assault upon two policemen and
of trying to rescue a prisoner, Han
nah and Rachael Michaelson were ac-
quilted today by a jury in Judge
Zabriskie's court. Philip Binder,
employed by the Michaelson family,
was arrested by Patrolmen Carney
and Hartwell on October Is. The
policemen wanted to take him to jail,
on a trolley car, but Binder, who is a
Jew, objected to riding on that day,
as it was a Jewish holiday. He tried
to explain his religious principles to
his captors, but they failed to under
stand him.
Then the Misses Michaelson came
up. They tried to make the police
men understand Binders objections.
IT was testified today that the young
women we're attacked by the police
men and that Hannah Michaelson
was struck three times on the head
with a club and made unconscious.
Dayton Conkling testified he had not
seer the young women strike the po-
licemen, but he had seen the police
men strike the girls.
Carney and Hartwell are under
bail in $500 each to answer charges
of assault and battery.

Plying Women Gladly Pay Dollar to

Small Boy to Save Tabby.
MONTCLAIR, Oct. 31:-Seeking
to rescue a cat imprisoned at the
bottom of an unused and dry well
yesterday afternoon, mn of South
Fullerton venue had a lively time.
The we'll was on the land of Henry
C. Hallenbeck. The meowing of the
cat was heard by Hallenbeck's
coachman, and soon a score of wom-
en- gathered.
Of course, none of the plying
throng would think of such a thing
as going down the seventy-foot shaft
for pussy, but they cried: "Oh,
dear. the poor thing must be saved!'
AS they we're debating ways and
means of rescue a tender-hearted
women said she was sure the cat
must be dreadfully hungry. She
got a basket, in which she placed a
saucer of milk and a chicken bone.
1t was lowered into the shaft, with a
lantern alongside it. But when bas-
ket and lantern reached the bottom
of the well the cat had disappeared.
The women folk were at their
wits end when Peter Kieger, a small
boy, arrived. When he heard what
the trouble was he asked how much
it was worth to go cown and get the
cat. A dollar was offered, and he
promptly accepted. He was lowered
into the well IN a rope. He had a
lively time with Pussy, who scratch
ed his face and hands. But he got
her by the back of the neck, called
to the women and was pulled up.
THAT wasn't any easy money
said the boy as he ran away to blow
in" his dollar.

The Alaska prospector., 1905-02-23

On the 10th of Jan. t6th old style) is the day of Jordan, and the faithful on that day are per mitted to drink wine and use oil. On that day the water of the lake is blessed and made holy by priest: and stored away for emer- gencies. This year, having no Russian priest here, the ceremony will not be performed. and the devils inhabiting the lake will he left in peace, and are jubilant over it.
 On the 4th of Jan. the members here of the Brotherhood of Alaska Pioneers celebrated their anniver- sary in an appropriate manner. At 3 pm. they gathered al the res idence of l.. Berg, where re- treatments were served. The time was spent pleasantly by speech making,songs recitations and con- versation.
 The post office has been estab- lished here, but On account of a few things lacking no business can be transacted yet.
 Miss Breece, our popular school teacher, as usual. is working hard every day teaching the children, and neglecting to take much need- ed rest even on Sunday, the day of rest, when she is teaching the Sun day school.
 It is noted that the secretary of the treasury has recommended an appropriation of S50.000 for the establishment of hatcheries in Alaska. If such recommendation be carried out, it would ne proper for the government to spend at least one-half of that sum for the establishment oi salmon hatchery on Afognak island, and permitting the inhabitants to sell fish under certain restrictions, as stipulated in a petition sent last spring to the secretary of the treasury. It would be wise, polite, and help in up- building the homes oi the inhabi- tants of this section of Alaska.
