RECLUSE FOUND
DEAD IN HIS HUT.
Ebenezer iced, orieving Over
Wife's Death. Lived Apart
from Wealthy Relatives.

Ebenezer Teed, who has lived as a
r~ecluse in a hut in Irvington since
the death of his wife eight years ago,
was found dead in his tiny home
early today. He was 40 years old.
Teed was a well-known I~rvington
character. Since he took up his
abode In the woods owned by Mayor
William L. Glorieux. in the north
western section of the town, he has
supported himself by doing odd Jobs
for John and Melville Durand, straw
berry cultivators.
Several weeks ago he was seized
with a complication of diseases, and
was forced to cease working for the
strawberry growers. His brothers,
Edward Teed. of rs Lang street, this
city. and Augustus Teed. who are
quite well-to-do, visited him at his
howell and begged him to go to a hos
pita1, where he might receive proper
medical attendance. The hermit.
however, insisted upon remaining
where he was.
The body was found today by a
nearby resident who was accus-
toned to visit iced each morning
since he became sick. DR.. ]. Floyd
Bowman was summoned and said
that the death of the recluse was
due to natural causes. Teeds
brothers had his body removed to
Moneys funeral parlors, 30 Null
berry street, this city. from which
the funeral will take place. Inter
ment Will be in Paramount Gene
terry.
Teed was born in Morristown. As
q young man he worked as a glass
bender In this city, where he married
Miss Mary Schiner. At her death,
eight years ago, he became despond-
emit, and. desiring to live alone, built
the little shack where he died.

MANY INDICTMENTS
 FOUND AT FAIRRANKs

Fairbanks, Feb. i3.--The grand jury which adjourned recently re- turned i7 indictments against Frank c Hawkins, who is charged as cashier and later as receiver of the Washington-Alaska bank, which failed here a year ago, with having converted funds and se- curities of the bank to the use and benefit of those not entitled to them. Hawkins is at liberty on $23,0O0 bonds.
 Several secret indictments were returned by the jury which inves- tigatcd the failure of the bank. The fact that no arrests have been made here leads to the belief that these indictments may include mon now in the states.

Town People Should Vote EARLY

Owing to the big registration in New
port precinct, total Of 1893, it is earn
estly urged that the voters residing
within the town arrange to come to the
polls and cast their ballots early in the
day. It will be a difficult matter to cast
all these ballots within the time pre-
scribed by law for keeping the polls
open, and little effort on the part of
the people residing in town will very
materially assist in checking up the
votes, and making way for those who
must of necessity come to the polls
later.
Residents of the town are requested
to bear this in mind, and do their part
toward making it possible to cast full
vote at this important election.
The Loyal Temperance Legion will
meet at the Baptist church Sunday
afternoon at o'clock.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-10-31

ing to put up large sum of money to
get small bonus to move the county
seat and risk the destruction of price
less county records besides.
10 leave the county seat at Newport
means that the county need be at no
additional expense for the court house
quarters until such time as it is ready
to build court house of its own. The
present rental is less than would be the
interest, insurance and depreciation on
building of its own.
The down river papers have raised the
question of Interpretation of the law as
to the location of the county seat. The
bill provides that to move the county
seat from Newport at this time some
town must have majority of all the
votes cast. It does not provide for an
other election, and the question comes
up whether another election could be
held on the majority basis, or whether
the general law of the state would ap-
ply and the next time three-ffths
vote required.
1t is generally conceded that the only
hope the down river contestants have
is to deadlock the coming election on
the county seat question. Should such
prove the case, it is certain that the
county would be up against a court
contest that would have to 60 to the
Supreme Court for decision, involving
perhaps thousands of dollars of costs.
The voters of the county will play the
part of wisdom in voting for Newport,
and getting away from the possibility
of an expensive lawsuit.
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-10-31

which would mean that for several
months during the time of year when
fires would have to be maintained in
the buildings the public records would
be at the risk of destruction by fire.
The Transcribed records could not be
replaced for less than $12, 900 and the
records of the past two years could not
be replaced at any price.
To move the Offices from Newport
with the extra help necessary and the
re-htting of the fixtures of the court
house to fit some other building would
cost several thousand dollars. The
county would have to abandon the pres
ent jail and vault, which cost over $3,-
900, and would be a total loss to the
county, and in addition the county
would at once have to build another
Jail and vault that would cost about the
same amount, and which would later be
abandoned when permanent buildings
would be constructed. A permanent
building giving as good Offices as those
now in use, would cost at least $4,000
and it is more likely that if the county
were to build at all the cost would
probably run up to $25, ZOO or more.
The taxpayers of the county will not
be led into believing that the small
bonus said to be offered by any aspiring
town would even begin to offset this ex-
pense, even if it WERE CERTAIN that
the offer is made in good faith and
would be paid. The voters are not 60
