JAMES WALL NOT
GUILTY OF MA
LICTOUS MISCHIEF
Decision of Judge Lancaster on
Thursday Morning in Some
what Novel Case

The attention of the municipal court
was centered for awhile Thursday
morning on a case which grew out OF
the question of the ownership of a
wedge shaped piece of land or gore on
Franklin street. the case itself being
a charge of malicious mischief which
was preferred by Mrs. Emma E. Gray
against James Wall, both of whom
reside on the street above mentioned.
Wall was represented by Ernest l..
Mclean of the law firm of Williamson,
Burleigh & Mclean and by advice of
his counsel pleaded not guilty. The
alleged act of malicious mischief on
the part of the respondent was that
he had torn down fence on the COM
plainant's property.
Mrs. Gray claimed that the south
end of her lot took in the gore or fiat
iron piece In question and that the
south line of her lot is the south line
of the gore; that when she bought the
lot the gore piece had fence around
it. and in her opinion this had been
the condition for the past 40 years;
that this was the condition when she
bought the lot in 1891; that four or
five years after she bought the lot the
purchaser of the lot which adjoins her
lot on the south repaired and improv-
ed the house then on the lot and NOV
ed a portion of 1t on to the gore piece.
She claims that her line runs right
through the house.
1t came out at the hearing that the
property in question had changed
hands recently. the purchaser being
Fred Lacasse. Mrs. Gray wanted a
fence between her property and that
of Lacasse, and wished to build it on
her line as she knew it originally, to
which Lacasse objected and claimed
that. it was not the line. Lacassel had
the lines run by an engineer, and his
contention is that Mrs. Gray is en-
titled to a lot 100 feet deep from
Franklin street. according to Cushing
& Adams survey filed in the registry
of deeds in 1866; that in that survey
Mrs. Gray's lot is numbered 200, and
that that plan would not give her the
gore piece; that the lot would be a
regular shaped lot. The gore piece in
question is about q feet wide in its
widest part and in it's narrowest part
about Il feet.
The respondent, Wall. who lives in
a part of the house owned by Fred
Laeasse, said that Lacasse told him
to go out and break down the fence
which Mrs. Gray had caused to be
built, and that he did SO, Mr.. Lacasse
claiming that the fence was on his
land AT the conclusion of the hear
ing the court declared that the re-
spondent was not guilty and he was
accordingly discharged. Mrs. Gray is
left her civil remedy.
In addition TO the above two cases
were heard in which the charge was
that of intoXieation. Both respondents
were found guilty, one being ordered
to pay the costs of court while the
other was given a sentence of 80 days
in Jail, but as he had job in one OF
the local mills and was very anxious
to hold it sentence was suspended

GIVE wTCKERsHAM CREDIT

In it's Saturdays issue the Em- pire says:
 No one has yet risen to give credit for the passage of the coal land leasing bill to Delegate Wick srsham-but the bill was only pass ed Thursday, and the campaign has two weeks yet to run"
 Thanks, brother, for calling our attention to this. We had intended to give MT. Wickersham the credit that is due him when the bill pass ed, but somehow overlooked it in the press of other matters.
 The bill as finally passed is prac- tieany as drawn up originally by the delegate and it's passage is due in a great measure to "that marvellous ability and power," to use the words Of the Empire, so characteristic of the fighting delegate. He first proposed that a naval reserve be made in both the Matanuska and Boring river fields, and this was done. It is one of the strong fsatures of the bill.
 The Congressional Record for the past several years contains the best evidence of the work done by our delegate in behalf of the measure. And, by the way, speaking of the Congressional Record, it contains a pretty complete history of the work Of James Wickersham as the dele gate from Alaska.-Juneau Dispatch

the labor, the skill, and the capi- tai now so employed. -
 Senator Walsh's address was ac- companied by complete statistics showing decided decreases in the production of gold in the leading mining countries of the world. The principal falling off was shown to have been in South Africa and in the United states, the two greatest gold producing regions of the world The passing of the high grade ore bodies as well as the increasing cost of labor, machinery and sup plies, is making the mining of golu less attractive each year. Con- ditions of general prosperity in- duce additional operations in the mining of other minerals, as the in creased demand raises the price; the opposite applies to gold mining In times of general prosperity everything needed in the operaVAoi' Of a gold property is more expen- sive but the product retains it's un- fluctuating value. These and many other pertinent facts were called to the attention of the upper house Of congress and there is evidence that a deeD impression has been made.
 The question brought out by sen ator Walsh, as well as many other matters of important interest to every man dependent upon the mln- ing industry, will be discussed at the seventeenth annual session Of the American Mining congress, whic will be held at Phoenix, Arizona, Dec. ', s, g, 10 and Il. AS one Of the effects of the war has been to accentuate the need for a great CT production of gold in the United States, it is expected that the meet ing of the American Mining con g<ess this year will be of greater i'm portance than has been any other session in the history of the organ ization.

THE GOLD YIELD FALLS;
 .. PROMPT ACTION Is URGED

Washington, Oct. 21-Decrease in the worlds gold production is reach ing such a point that a note of warning has been sounded In no un- certain terms in the United States senate by Thomas J. Walsh, the junior member from Montana. That thiS condition will be aggravated greatly by the closing of silver mines was brought out clearly by Ar. Walsh.
 It is of vital importance that the gold production of the Tnited States be increased as was shown in a letter from the secretary of the American Mining congress, which Ssnator walsh used in connection with his remarks. While it is the consensus Of opinion that every ef- fort should be made first to in crease the gold yield through scien- thc research and investigation, no effort was made to avoid bringing cut the possibility of the need for providing for a bounty to stimulate work in low-grade, refractory, gold-bearing ores.
 Ia the face of the great work that is being done for agriculture by the government, the appropria- uons allowed the Bureau of Mines, were termed "piutully small and painfully inadequate"
 The following summing up of cer- tain of the ideas expressed was laid before the senate by Mir. Walsh:
 The need for gold to maintain s proper ratio between base and structure of credit is increasing with are great increase in our Commerce.
 2 Increased costs of operation Aow and always will add to the bur dens of gold production so long as our credit monye is at par.
 8 The increased foreign demand for gold reserves is absorbing a great part of the worlds produc- ton.
 The increased use of credit money, made possible by the new currency bill-that l may not be misunderstood, let me say that consider this bill the most import ant, the most valuable, and ithat In effect 1t will be the most useful lsgislation Of recent time-incrsases the burden upon an already oyer burdened gold supply by requiring it to support a greatly enlarged "su- perstructure of credit"

GRIM PICTURE
 OF BIG BATTLE.

Paris. Sept. 12.-.'It was as thous Il some blight from heaven haa ae- o.andad nnon German ranks, smoth- arino them in an embrace Of death' declared a member of the American branch of the Red Cross who re turned to Paris today after vlslt to the battlefield near MeauX lie had gone with an ambulance to cor lect wounded soldiers and thus de sertbes the scenes which met his eyes:
 T saw trenches filled with Ger man dead, just as they had peeh left by the French guns. It was not so much the mere sightof death that was so appalling; it was he outland- ish pastures of those rigid cofpses and the look upon the faces. since the angel of death passed above the camn of the Philistines, 1 am sure nothing like it has been seen. II was as though some blight from heaven had descended upon the German ranks, smothering them Tn an embrace of death.
 "Dawn was just breaking. l came upon the trenches where the fight ing had been the bloodiest. The gray light rested upon ghostlike silent company. Clusters of corpses with rigid arms and legs protruding filled the bottom Along the rim, with ri fle to shoulder and head bent along the barrel stood line of dead. They died as they stood upon the firing lines and their bodies were held in an upright position by the bodies behind aud around them.
 Tt was a ghastly sight. Upon the faces of many were no expressions of fright or horror Except for the glaze of death in the eyes one would not have guessed that their souls had passed the boundary of eternity Never have l seen anything so ter rible as that erect silent company of still figures in the chill dawn with the quiet of fresh, early day"
