EVIDENCE NOT SUFFICIENT TO COMMIT ANNOOSKA
 TO ASYLUM FOR INSANE

After a hearing in Commissioner Ger aghty's court on Monday last, before a commission appointed to examine into her sanity Annooska, the native girl brought by Deputy Marshal and Mrs Charles from Pimute on Friday last, was discharged, the jury finding the evidence not sufficient to bear out the charge of insanity preferred her.
 When the case was called before the com missioner on Monday afternoon Fred Harr- son was appointed to act as her attorney. After the reading of the warrant he moved to dismiss the girl because of the fact that Pimute where she was taken into custody, was not i'll this precinct, but was in the Third judicial division The assistant dis trict attorney was allowed to withdraw the complaint and another vas drawn up and the hearing proceeded. George Morgen of Flmute testified to the condition of the girl. stating that she was subject to periodical attacks of insanity, which in one instance lasted for period of eighteen months Dr. Auringer also testified to having examined the patient, but his obserl atiUns were not such as to indicate insanity. No other tes- tmony was offered.
 After being out some time the jury reported that they were unable to agree, but the commissioner refused to accept the report and they were again locked up. Later they agreed upon a verdict which had the effect of discharging the native girl
 The jury consisted of Joseph fl. Smith, A. E. Ncrdsrom, CIaud Baker, Ira r. Wood James Burke and C. B. Atwell
 l., H., ,r, many respects Last winter Deputy Mar shal Jack Woods attention was called to the case while on a visit to the Yukon. The residents of Pnlute stated that she was in sane and that the natives would not take care of her She had no near relatives, and depended on the charity of the whites. Mir Woods reported the case and Deputy Mar shaI Charles was authorized to look into the matter He left on the Little Delta shortly after the break-up accompanied by Mrs Charles They found the girl in an in describable condition of EIth and destitution and brought her to this city. The deputy marshal states that the girl undoubtedly Is insane, and had he thought it necessary ha could have secured all the evidence neces- sary. The girl had been an inmate of the mission at Holy Cross, but she had been violent at times, and on one occasion had severely bitten one of the sisters The mis- sion had no facilities for keeping her, and those in charge were afraid for the safety of the little ones of the institution, and were compelled to send her to distant relatives at Pimute, who, however, deserted her.
 Mir Charles states that the girl is abso- luteIy helpless; she cannot cook her food nor do the simplest tasks of housework.
 As there Is no provision for sending her back to the place where she was arrested by the government, a subscription was taken up for her, and Mr AIorgen took her back to Hoy Gross by the mai beat on Wednesday last

This office is in receipt of the Annual Report Of the President of the Alaska Don tai Assocaticn Dr. Charles Daggett of Seward which gives a concise statement of the work of the organization during the year and suggestions of value to practcing dentists sad the general public alike IL k noticed that the name of Dr. Herman Behla of Iditarod appears on the official roster as one of the trustees and eIso as member ot the committee on ethics. One of the in- teresting paragraphs in the report is a. follows
 You will agree that the standard If daa- tistry in Alaska is high. l do not know of town in the territory but that has ar least one scod dentist, and more in many. while some of the modern office equip ments would be credit to Fifth avenue
 A paragraph which would appear to the ordinary layman to be especially commend- able is as fellows:
 It would be we'll if our board could have its powers extended, that il might not only pass Gil the ability of 8 dentist to practice, as measured by certain standards. but that 1t could compel him to maintain those standards after being admitted in order to retain his Ucen>e.'

CITY SAVED FROM LOSS
 BY LAWYER AND BANKER

Neither E. Coke Hill, the Ruby lawyer nor R. C. Button, the Iditarod banker, are of an Impulsive nature, and so when they noticed smoke and flames issuing from in front of the fire station the other evening they did not rush in and telephone for the fire department After due dellberation they decided to handle the matter them selves, and thus avoid giving the good cltl- zcns the shock of hearing the fire alarm.
 It happened like this, Dick and Coke were sitting on q dry goods box in front of the bank, fighting mosquitos and whiting soft wood. Locking over toward the fire station, Dick said, "That looks like fire over there" By love" said E, Coke, it is fire" After discussing deliberately the best IIan of action, it was decided to in vestigate, and it was found that heap of shavirc5 and rubbish under the corner of the building had caught fire in some man Ter, and was making such progress as to threaten the destruction of the city's fire plant Without undue haste they proceeded to carry water from the river and eXtln- guyh the blaze, which result was attained with no further damage than the acquisition of considerable mud on the apparel of the fire fighters.
 It is probable that had the flames not been seen in time the city would now be ;n the market for new fire engines
