STEAMER DOCKS IN
 DESPERATE PLIGHT
British Tramp Craigvar Uses Woodwork As Fuel In Voy-
 age From Orient

Seattle, Nov. 21-Salt encrusted, battered and altogether disreputable in appearance the British tramp steamship Craigvar this morning docked at the Great Northern wharf, twenty-siX days from the Orient. That the Craigvar had hard voyage is evinced not alone by her appear ance but by the story of her officers as well.
 When the CraiPvar arrived she had not pound of coal in her bunkers, nor had she for days used coal as fuel. To the contrary the fires under her boilers for many hours have been fed by the woodwork stripped from the vessel, rails, lower hatch covers, and even cabin furnishings having been sacrificed to keep her propeller turn ing during the last miles of the voyaee.
 | It was shortly after clearing from the Orient that the Craigvar en- countered rough weather and from that time until she sighted Flattery she fought against heavy gales and huge seas. There were days at a time when itsseemed impossible that the steamship could outlive the treat ment to which she was subjected, and during which her officers and crew went without sleep.
 Ordinarily two weeks is all that is required to make the voyage across the Pacific and it is the unusual period she was at sea that exhausted the Craigvar's coal supply.

Horace Fell Is Ground Be- heath Wheels As He Greets
 Wife And Children

Seattle, Nov. 2t--In the presence of his wife aud three children this morning Horace Fell was dragged and ground to death beneath the wheels of the Interurban train from Tacoma. Fell had spent the night in Tacoma and his family were at the station to meet him. In some man. ner he slipped as he stepped from the train while it was in motion.
 The agonized screams of the wife and children drew the attention of the crowd around the station to the tragedy, but 1t was not until after the train had travelled several yards that it came to stop. Fell was terribly mangled, his head being crushed and one arm severed.
 Afterth remains of that which had been her husband were taken from beneath the train Mrs. Fell threw herself upon thom and then tainted. The children were in state of hys. teria, and with their mother are now in a hospital.

COURT RULES FOR
 QU|T CLAIM DEED
Judge Reid Decides Debney- Reed Land Case In Favor
 Of Plaintiff

That for the purpose of barter and trade quit claim deed is a good and sufficient title to land situate within the corporate limits of Valdez is the substance of a ruling made this morn ing by Judge Reid in deciding the case tried before him in which Mrs. Mary Debney asks for judgment against Mrs. Margaret Reed. The court decided for the plaintiff, hold ing that by making q part payment on the land the defendant acknow- ledged the possessory right of the plaintiff.
 The complaint in the case shows that tho defendant went to the plain tiff and sought to purchase certain lot for S275, paying $25 down, and agreeing to pay the balance on de- livery of a ''good deed.n Before this payment was made the defend ant moved onto the lot and started the erection of a building. Whom the deed was first presented it was dis covered that it did not properly des- cribe the property, and the change was made, but the defendant re fused to complete payment until waran- tee deed was furnished.
 The action was brought for judg- ment in the sum of $25O, and lien on the property.
 In handing down his decision Judge Reid, after reviewing the issues of the case, said that generally speaking q good deed is considered to be a war rantee deed accompanied by an ab- stract, but that in the case of a town not patented the person in possession of the property is considered as hold ing title against all other than the government, providing that proper procedure in such cases are complied with. The court held that in the case at bar the defendant by entering into negotiations to purchase acllnow- lodged the plaintiffs possessory right to the property in question.
 Further, the court held that had the defendant been in doubt as to the conditions existing with regard to the transfer of property in Valdez, the fact that the only objection made to the deed first presented was that it did not properly describe the property is sufficient to estop the defendant from further objection to the char acter of the title. The plaintiff was represented by Edmund Smith and and the defendant by Fritz Vogel.
