Winding Up Criminal
list-'-Other Court
Matters.

There was no criminal case for trial
before Judge Lindsay yesterday The
calendar is in fact nearly exhausted.
It is nearer being a clean sheet than
at any time since annexation.
When the case against Chun Hoon.
assisting in maintaining and conduct
ing a lottery, was called George D.
Gear stated that defendant was dis
charged by Judge De Bolt under a
writ of habeas corpus. and a writ of
error sued out by the Territory was
only the other day dismissed by the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Cathcart as pros
ecuting attorney had not been made
aware of these facts before. The case
was stricken from the calendar.
The following cases were held in sus-
pension to await the results of nego-
tiations for withdrawal of appeals
taken from the District Court; Goo
Chin, assault and battery, fine of s.
and costs; Chong You, gambling, fine
of $3.50 and casts; Kusano, assault and
battery, fine of $25 and costs; Muraoka'
assault and battery, imprisonment
thirty days and costs.
Nolle prosequis were entered by MT
Cathcart in the cases of Susuki, lar
cenv second degree, and Elladia, a
Porto Rican woman, vagrancy.
w. c. Achi and A. S. Humphreys en-
tered a demurrer to the complaint OF
liquor selling against K. Satuga.
Judge Lindsay reserved a ruling on
Mr. Gears motion to Quash the ind1ct-
ment in the case of Thomas Floris, as
sault and battery. The question at
issue is whether an Indictment coun-
tersigned by Deputy Attorney General
Fleming is valid when, as is commended,
the County Act requires that County
Attorneys shall present indictments.

Bushels Of spectacles.

About a year ago Rev. John w.
Chapman. the church's missionary at
knvik, Alaska. called attention to the
good use to which spectacles and eye
glasses, whose owners had no further
use for them, could be put in helping
10 improve and prolong the eyesight
Of some Of the Indian people along the
Yukon He remarked In 0 semi-humor-
GUS vein that he could use about q
peck of spectacles.' That his appeal
went home to many q evidenced by .
communication just received from Mr..
Chapman, announcing that up to June
rs three and q half bushels OF specta-
cles had reached Anvik from 153
friends. It is probable that for the
present at least the population Of An
vik is well supplied with these aids
to better vision. so that no further
gifts OF this character need be sent un-
I'll Mr.. Chapman announces afresh the
possibility Of using q peck Of specta-
eles.-ChUrchman.
