TIDELAND CASE
 NOW IN COURT

A great deal of interest is being manifested about town in the outcome of the trial of I. Goldstein vs. John NoIand, a suit to recover possession of lands consisting of tidelands and uplands. It is really a suit to deter mine right of possession rather than actual possession. The cause is be- ing tried tried before a jury in the commissioners court. The plaintiff alleges that he came into possession of the land through purchase from Peter Dan, and states that Dam occu pied the premises by building a house on the upland in 1907 and held the tide land with a foundation on the beach. The testimony of plaintiff was put in this morning and the defense is offering evidence this afternoon. The defense denies Dams story of settlement and occupation and al. leges that the land in controversy be. longs to the United States govern. ment.
 Hellenthal & Hellenthall represent the plaintiff and z. R. Cheney ap, peared for the defense.

OId-Timer Stricken
 With Paralysis

Lastnight Harry Jordan was car ried over from Douglas and placed in St. Ann's hospital. Yesterday aft ernoon Mir. Jordan was visited by q paralytic stroke which has deadenet the right side of his body and ren dered him physically helpless, This news will bring sorrow to q great many people who have known him so long. Harry Jordan is one ot those classed as the men who dc things" He came to Juneau from Port Townsend in 1895. Later he went to the Yukon and was engaged as manager for a large establishment called the Opera House. He also ell gagged in mining and made some mon ey.
 When things slackened up in the Yukon he came back to Douglas and went into business with John Bean. All the time Jordan kept men in the Reld-searching the hills for more gold. He has probably grub.staked more men than anyone else in the country.
 Being a square man he supplied his prospectors liberally and being a game man, he kept at it as long as he had an income-then he dug into his reserve pile and at last it is be lieved that he has struck it,
 It is said that he has interest in some of the most promising mining prospects in the country. The prop. erty referred to is in Yankee basin and is claimed by expert mining men that it has thus far made a splendid showing.
 Harry Jordan went outside once when the sky was dark over Gastin. eau channel but he couldn't stay away from Alaska. He is still here-up at St. Ann's.
