JUDGMENT AGAINST
 BANKS & ROWLAND

Last Thursday, in the commls- sioner's court, Iditarod, J. J Kelly secured judgment against Banks x Howland, of the Cascade laundry. in the sum of $322. together with interest and The costs of the suit.
 The suit arose out of a contract between the parties whereby the plaintiff and associates sold to the defendants a well situated on the sandspit, opposite the town of Idita- rod Tbe purchase price was $500, to be divided among the plaintiff and associates in certain prOpOr- lions, viz, S35o to the plaintiff and the balance to his associates It was further agreed that payments on account of the principal should be at the rate of S25 month. until the whole should be paid; but fl the plaintiff and associates were able to guarantee exclusive tights the payments were to be at the rate of sIoo per month. From the evi
 dence it appeared that the plaintiff failed to guarantee such exclusive right, and should have received payment at tue rate of S25 per month. He admitted receiving S2S and was suing for tue balance.
 The defense was general denial while the plaintiff relied upon a written contract. An endeavOr was made 10 show that the plain tiff $ title to ground was disputed. This argument appeared 10 be be, side the point, as the suit was for the recovery of money agreed to

Rich properties at Ruby and Flat City also are in his name and he is rated in Alaska as a millionaire. His JudT- ment as to prospects is relied on all over the goldfields.

Fire Protection

MT. Bayles, chairman of the fire committee, reported OH the pro- posal to remove the city hall and provide measure of fire protection for the city. Two bids had been received for moving the city ball on 10 the dock site at the foot of Will low street. One of these was from George Taylor, who offered to do the work for $625, and the other was from George Lee, whose price was S7o5. For supplying a s. horsepower boiler and all fittings, and erecting the same at the city hall, Ed Uhl asked sum of SI, 800 MT. Bayles said he had spoken 10 several taxpayers OH the matter, and although the city had the means to go through with the scheme, yet it was delicate sub feet f,r them to deal with. They were elected to fill an un, xpired term of those who had left tue dis trict, and were soon going out of office. He vas i'll favor of provid- ing fire protection, but thought il would be bad politics and bad eti quette 10 incur the indebtedness now, seeing that they were going out of office i'll couple of week :, and he was ill favor of letting the matter go over to be dealt with by the new council.
 Other counCilmen supported this view, ond on the motion of MT Smith, seconded by MT Mutchler the report was received and laid on the table.

Gives Regal Presents

Then he exhibited the Christmas gifts for his mother. One is a chain of tiny nuggets of uniform size and S5 inches long. It is believed to be one of the most valuable articles of jewelry ever brought to the city, on account of the labor expended in procuring nuggets to correspond. Another gift consists of eight skins of the Alaskan sable, which, when made up, Friend believes, will rival any fur garment in the country,
 Friends journey so far has been marked by a distribution of nuggets and gold dust among the friends he knew in former years. These gifts are made without display. Friend was one of the first men to go to Alaska and says because of the scarcity of women in the country he has never married.
