A snowside at the north end of Key stone canyon, near Valdez which occurred on February l7, buried MT. and Mrs. Berg lund and their son and a man named Col lodav, with two horses, who were on thelr WAY over the trail to Fairbanks. Corporal Charles Simmons and a party of four sig nal corps men narrowly escaped the slide, but the horse driven by the party was ln- jured so seriously that it will probably be necessary to kill the animal. After escap- ing with their lives the soldiers set to work to locate the other unfortunates, and sue ceeded in rescuing all but Mrs. Berglund.

GLE BLUM LOGGER
 AS NEW YORK SEES HIM

The following is what they think of Jack Lester, the Gle Elum logger back in New York
 Board of health inspectors are seeking the hiding place of 37512 pounds of con >densed meat which was shoveled out oi the Fairmont ring the other night and spirited away. One hundred and seventy seven and q half pounds of the putrld beet belonged to Jack Lester, tramp from the Pacific, and the remainder, including the half pound, said to he decaying bone, was owned by Jim Coffee, 8 giant dub from Dublin.
 The meeting between the two was ad- vertised as a fight and billed to g ten rounds Lester went half way and quit.
 The shoemaker from the West and the ladies tailor from Ireland did everything prizetighters do not do. During the five rounds Lester slipped down and fell down and was pushed down, butted down, knocked showed and battered down five Hundred times When he wasn't on the floor he was on the ropes and when not hanging on the hemp he was hugging and kissing his mountainous antagonist. Les ter, it developed. is also a sufiragst. He would clutch the top rope with one hand and with the other make feminine slaps at the big, horrid harp. He also executed teveral flying tackles of Cotfeys legs Once or twice during the evening Lester landed a punch. Whenever he did so, however, it hurt him more than it did Coffey, which perhaps was the reason he didn't try it oftener'

The present proceedings are instituted to protect what are claimed to be the rights of the plaintiffs in the property.
 The motion for the appointment of a re- ceiver recites that the defendant, the Iu- kon Gold Company, is mining by the dredge system and IS now operating on Flat creek, Otter precinct, Territory of Alaska; that the dredge belonging to said defendant IS located at the property described in plalnt lifi's complaint, to wit, the Splkenard As sociation placer mining claim; that the de fendant is moving or causing to be moved on said placer mining claim so described in plaintiff complaint one thousand or fifteen hundred cords of wood with which to work sald ground at as early a date as the weather will permit that from the operations of the defendant last spring the sad defendant will Dt tO DtSIll Ok'tl dIIoIi9 III odlb ground about the first day of May, 1914; that if allowed and permitted to proceed with their operations on said placer mining claim they will mine and extract large quan- titles of gold or gold dust from said placer mining claim and convert and appropriate the same for its own use and benefit; that the said plaintiffs herein have a legal estate in said placer mining claim and q present right to the possession thereof, having staked and located the said Spike nard Association on the 7th day of October, A.
