D0|NCS IN DISTRICT COURT

on Monday morning Judge Oyerfeld proceeded to the trial of the case of August EIannot vs Felix Pedro ct al, suit asking for the dissolution of partnership, the appointment oi a receiver and division of the part nership assets. The grounds given for the prayer for the dissolution were that the defendants had refused to prosecute the co-partnership busi ness on the lower 300 feet of No. below Pedro creek, discovery claim Pedro, the upper half of 1 below Pedro. the lower 900 feet of : below Pedro, 3 above Fish creek, the lower 1000 feet of discovery Gilmore. and the lower half of , above Fairbanks creek
 The case was on trial all week and inc court rendered an orai opinion on Saturday morning. holding that a partnership existed between Au- gust Hanot, senior, and Felix Pedro. Judge Overfield's finding was as fol- ioWs:
 The court will therefore find, and does find that a partnership agree. ment was entered into between Au- gust HanOt, senior. and Felix Pedro on August 19, 1903, that under the partnership agreement the proper tics mentioned in the complaint in tris suit were transferred to August ljanot, senior. one-half to him in fee simple, and one-half to be held in .ru5g for Pedro; that an accounting
 nay be had upon that basis of the property between these parties.
 The court by reason of business. .Ae meeting of the grand iury that is HOW before it, will be unable to give the time and attention neceS- sary for this accounting, and it will therefore be necessary that a referee ne appointed. and if the parties can 3Tr"e upon man of reputation and dolIits III lIlS toIilluullS tue court will be glad to appoint him; if not inc court will upon investigation a: ii further knowledge that it now has, appoint someone of it's own selec ;ion."

GOING OUT FOR OYSTERS.

George P. Gunter, of the Washing ton Oyster Company, of San Fran cisco, is leaving on the boat today for the outside Mir. Gunther came in at the time of the Iditarod stam- pede. He says that it is much easier to dig the fat and succulent oyster than the yellow metal, but he has taken a liking to the mining game in this country and is coming back in the spring. He will bring with him dozen head of horses and 1000 cases of Olympia oysters for the lower country. He is taking out with him some good samples from some of the local quartz claims and asserts he will make some of the California and Nevada quartz men sit up and take notice.

ter to Lon Doggett, at above Ot- ter. and then went on their way.
 "Doggett immediately notified the officers of the law. and went out himself, accompanied by George Burg. deputy marshal, and few others who went along to view the remains.
 The body appears to have lain in its present state for a month or six weeks. The upper part, including the skull, had been carried away by wild animals, leaving the pelvic DOT ton and the lower limbs intact. en- Cased in overalls. On the feet were low arctics. and about ten feet away. covered with blood, was a slicker.
 Believing that the body should not be touched until it could be viewed by a coroners jury, little search was made. A gold watch was found laying near. which. in a meas ure, weighs against the theory that he was murdered for personal gain.
 Having heard that Brown left Flat creek early in August. Deputy Marshal Donovan was much disturb ed by hearing that an unknown per son accompanied the old man. thus making it readily apparent that he had been murdered by someone who knew he had money. This view of the case, however. was dispelled Fri day by news from Dave Nelson, in the kuskokwim. who was to have

IDITAROD GRUB SITUATION

IDlTAROD, Sept. '. - There have in the prices of groceries and other goods. in anticipation of a shortage during the winter. As a matter of fact, dealers are somewhat unwilling in many cases, to quote prices. Of course, the open navigation season has not yet closed, and some mer- chants admit that sufficiently large quantity may yet arrive to insure the camp sufficient supply to last until navigation opens again next spring.
 The last boat of the N. A. T. & tie for St. Michael on August IF, and that of the N c. Co.,, on August 26 Both of these steamers have large quantities of merchandise for the Idtarod and Yukon river points. It is stated that a considerable quan- tity of groceries will be diverted at Holy Cross and brought up to Iditarod
 William Barrett, of Barrett & Levin. said on Tuesday that he be- lieved there was good prospect of 1900 tons of merchandise being receiv- ed here and at Dikeman before the close of navigation. This town cannot stand fancy prices" he said, "and

 not to be in a hurry about placing their orders. However. as I have said, fancy prices can not be paid here under present conditions. al though l am believer in high prices myself But conditions alter cases. and the merchant is bound. sooner or later. to take them into consideration"
 Mir. Barrett also said he did not believe that the kuskokwim coun- try would draw at all largely on the Iditarod this winter for supplies. He estimates that there will be in that section 1,500 tons of merchan- disc to supply the winter demand. The x. C. Co. are there and will have quite a large stock; then there are the Joaquin X Co.. old tune traders on the kuskOkwim, who now carry a large stock. The United States Mercantile Co.,. of None, and the Kuskokwim Trading Co.,. with two posts and which start ed there about year ago. Merchan- Gise sells much more cheaply on the fact that freight rates are much cheaper Miners and prospector~ may have to go to Bethel for some of their supplies, but that they are in tie country there is little doubt.

MURDER IN THE |D|TAR0D
Body of Robert Brown is Found on Divide and Circumstances Un-
 doubted Point to Foul Play

A short time ago the marshal's office here was notified by Deputy Marshal Donovan of Iditarod that the body of an old man had been found on the divide between Idit- arod and the Kuskokwim. In papers arriving here during the past week details of the occurrence are given anG they undoubtedly indicate that murder has been committed
 The following is the account given in the Iditarod Pioneer.
 There is little doubt in the minds of those who have viewed the body that Robert Brown, the old man whose remains were found at the head of Slate creek last week. came to his end by foul means The in yestigators found bullet hole in his slicker, indicating that he had been shot in the back, while the cOnsid- erable roll of money which he had on him was gone Reports as to the amount of money which he had vary greatly from Si95 to s1.50O.
 The body was found about four miles from Discovery Otter, near the head of Slate creek, the discovery being made by NcIauphlin and Blair two Kuskokwim stampeders who were just starting out on their jour ney to the new diggings. They came back long enough to report the mat

 Four other men were found who saw the old man going up Flat creek. some of them demonstrating with him on the lightness of his pack. He was going to supposed strike and said he was coming back al once, wherefore he had only taken four. day ration.
 He carried a military slicker se- cured at Fort Gibbon. and it was this garment by which he was iden- tifed
 As soon as possible. an inquest will be held over the remains. with chance that additional informa- ton will be gathered in the mean time to conclude speculation as to the manner of death"
 "A mile and a half from the spot where the body was located at the head of Slate creek, the head of Robert Brown was discovered by William Gillis last Friday near a woodchopper's cabin. where it had evidently been carried by mala- mute or a wild animal

For exhibition at the Alaska h. formation Bureau, which is being conducted by E. s. Harrison, of the Alaska-Yukon Magazine, in Seattle goodsized shipment of samples of local grains and ores was sent out this past week by Falcon Joslin. The samples had been gathered at the expense of a great deal of trouble and were selected from many of the claims, gardens, and farms of the vicinity. They will be a part of the permanent exhibition which will be conducted by MT. Harrison and undoubtedly will be extremely useful in advertising the country and its resources.
