Harry Warren left for Fairbanks this week with two tons of fresh meat He has been waiting for the snow in order that he might leave with sleds. The trail froze very rough this fall and up to date there is barely enough snow for twenty or more miles for sledding.
 Mrs. Rose Johnson and Theresa Johnson of Mccarthy were visiting friends in Chitina this week.
 Dan Mcdonald of Mccarthy was in Chitina this week.
 The Commissioners court was oc- cupied this week with the troubles of Al Fagenberg and Hans Poison. The government also had an action against Fagenberg for destroying property, assault and battery and other points in which Poison was the prosecuting witness. The jury fail- ing to agree retrial has been order ed for sixty days hence.
 The failure of the jury to agree brought out rather amusing situa- tion. Supper time arrived while they were in profound deliberations and the last vote stood 10 to 2. Now six of the jurors lacked the price of sup per so the marshal took the other six to supper and left the improvident six to cogitate on the reckless manner in which they had spent last sum- mers wages. When deliberations were resumed the vote stood 6 to 6. There was still a difference of opin- ion when they were dismissed.
 You will be surprised to find how little the high freight rate adds to articles at the Chitina Pharmacy.
 It is to be regretted that no action was ever taken in regard to a fire department. The town may pay dearly some time this winter for our indifference.
 The Road Commission will leave Valdez for here about December 1.
 It is generally understood that when one speaks of 'The Store" he means the Chitina Cash Store, where you get what you want when you want it.

 Before adjournment of court last night special venire was issued for fifteen additional jurymen. They reported this morning and by ten o'clock jury had been accepted for the trial of former postmaster Joseph F. Diggs on the charge of embezzle- ment of post office funds. He is re- presented by Frank Foster, of Valdez, and O. A. Tucker, of Cordova. The first witness heard was postal inspec- tor Frank w. Smith, who submitted documentary evidence from the files and transactions of the post office and testified as to shortage of $4,000. He was followed by Postmaster Steel, who testified as to the shortage when he took over the office. Edgar Davis gave similar testimony, as he was present when the transfer was made.
 This afternoon former assistant postmaster John Foulks was put on the witness stand. He admitted a shortage, shown by the books to be about $4,000, and testified that $500 of that amount was by reason of various postal notes that had been issued either at the instance of MT. or Mrs. Diggs, and for which the money had not been paid. Some of I. o. U.'s, which he testified were given by MT. Diggs. and which were offered in evidence, having been found among the records of the post office.
 MT. Foulks concluded his testi- mony late this afternoon and after Mir. Eby and one or two others gave brief testimony court adjourned un- til eight o'clock tonight.

 After court convened this morning one of the first acts of Judge Over field was to grant the application of Oscar Freedman for a roadhouse license at Mccarthy station, mile 1S2 on the railroad. There was no ob- jection to the granting of the license. although there may be applications for other licenses filed later. In an- swer to an inquiry the Judge stated that the license fee at McCarthy's was $1,000. This location is within four miles of Kennecott, where a large number of men are employed. It is also the junction point for the miners and prospectors who operate in the Nazina country. There has been a demand for some time for road house with license at Mccarthy. but objections had previously been made because of the lack of federal officers at that point. Recently. how ever. the Judge appointed NJ. V. Latin, at present station agent for the company at McCarthy's as United States Commissioner. with duties of Justice of the Peace and Coroner. At the same time s. D. Charles was named by Marshall Sul- livan, as deputy, with headquarters at Mccarthy.
 There being no objection the court granted the application for transfer of barroom license from Louis Mar guiles to Fred Haef.
 The barroom license application of Albert White. of Valdez. was set over to the December term of court at Valdez.

 The trial of the case of the U 5
 government vs. Wm. U. Park com- menced this morning at nine o'clock before Judge Overfeld. Fred M. Brown, attorney for the defendant, made his first appearance and re- quested of the court that he be al- lowed to exercise the full number of ten preemptory challenges, instead of seven, which were all the defen- dant desired when the jury was selec- ted. The court denied this request and set the record clear by stating the agreement that had been entered into by which the defendant, who is an at torney, was to proceed with the selec- ting of jury and that the hearing of witnesses would be deferred until the arrival of attorney Brown. The court, however did permit the chal- longing of w. H. Crary on the ground that he held civil office, and for the further reason that during his ex- animation the court had misunder- stood one of his answers to question asked him. A special venire was at once issued and deputy Marshal Sam Brightwell summoned two or three. Carl Hauser was the first examined and was soon accepted as the success sor to MT. Crary. He has been em- ployed at the Hubbard and Elliott mines and knew knothing of the case.
 Deputy District Attorney Guy C.. Brubaker made the opening state ment to the jury. He stated that the government would prove that the de- fendant was an active participant in the shortage of about foar thousand

He secured the property and will use it in con- rection with the Bloomquist home stead that ne has also purchased. It is MT.

He secured shipment of liquors on the steamer Mariposa this morning and expects to get his bar bar opened in a few days. Oscar took the Monday train for the scene of his new opera tions.

 "We find the defendant not guilty"
 Amid the hushed silence of a court room, and with many interested and some anxious eyes directed toward the members of the jury, the above words were read by Judge Overfield from the verdict submitted by the twelve men who had been considering the fate of Vim. U. Park. They had heard all the evidence in the case of the government against the defen- dant, charged with the embezzlement of monies from the CordOva post office. After the testimony had been summed up by attorney Brown for the defendant and District Attorney Walker and deputy Brubaker for the prosecution, Judge Overfield deliver ed a clear and impartial charge, and then at 4:2O o'clock yesterday after noon the jury retired to their Geiib- erations, in the basement room of the hotel Northern.
 The men who gave Parks a clean bill of health are by name F. A. Fay Tor, q. A. Vinger, Chas. Bern, ". A. SOule, Pete Boutin, F. H. Sheldon, Robert Webber, H. F.. Curry, H. A. Cook, Karl Peterson, C. II. Suule and Carl Houser. Shortly after they went to their room ballot was taken. Although it is not given from any authoritive source, yet it is currently reported about town, and generally believed, that on the first ballot eight voted for acquittal and four for conviction. The night was spent in discussion and balloting, seemingly with the intent to bring around the four to the way of think ing of the majority. This was not finally accomplished until about 1O:3O o'clock this morning.
 When word was sent to the court that the jury had agreed upon a ver- dict Judge Overfield ordered the jury brought into court and the defendant summoned. Soon as the latter ap- peaered, accompanied by his young wife, the return of the jury was made and the jurymen were discharged. The only manifestation was upon the part of Mrs. Park, who almost hys- terically sobbed out her great joy at a verdict that to her justified the steadfast faith that she had persist ently maintained in the innocense of
 CT husband.
