The Ketchikan miner., 1907-11-16

morning releasing the prisoner from further detention. This order was based on the report of a board of three physicians. who had been appointed by the court to examine the man as to his mental condition. all three of the members of which-doctors Story, Higgins and Hall-united in the opin- ion that he was perfectly sane. Un- der these circumstances no alternative was left to the court than to disregard the recommendation of the jury and turn the man loose. This practically concludes the business of the court for this term. and the officials will leave for Skagway, probably some of them on the Humboldt tomorrow, and the others on the Jefferson due here Thursday.
 The Miner doesn't receive agricul- tural and horticultural products in payment for subscriptions; if it did, Fred Patching of the Portman hatch cry would have several years coming to him for the monster cabbage sent to the editors house last Saturday.

If Fred is going into gar dening with view to business, he will have to grow smaller vegetables, especially cabbages, if he wants the trade of families of ordinary size.
