FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR FOURTH DIVISION
 CONFINES IN IDITAROD

The United States district court for the Fourth Alaska division opened in A. B. hall last Monday morning for the special Iditarod term. As the Ruby term is te bo held at an early date, and as the stay of the court will be brief, no grand jury was called, and any criminal matters orig hating in this vicinity will be dealt with before the grand jury at Ruby The petit jury is summoned to appear in court neXt Monday morning.
 The past week was devoted by the court principally to clearing the docket of oL. eases, and several were dismissed. Some appeals from the commissioners court were disposed of, some decisions rendered in eases upon which argument already had been heard and many motions were considered by the court touching pending cases. The real work of the term will commence with the swearing in of the jury next week. There are some cases of considerable importance to be heard including the cases of Marston vs Marston and the two cases involving water rights. These have not yet been set for trial The court adjourned on Thursday afternoon last until 10 o'clock this morning and it is likely that several cases will be set for trial at that time.

An Interesting Wood Case

case of unusual interest to nunng men and others was that disposed of by Judge Bunnell on Wednesday last the suit being that of w. E. Duffy and J. E Beattie vs. Dave Strandberg. The case came up on the settling of the findings of fact and the application cf the defendant to have the re straning order granted last year by Judge Bunnell set aside. The judge denied the application.
 This is the case in which suit was brought for damages against Strandberg for cutting wood on mining claim of the pIaintifTs One hundred and thirtythree cords of wood were cut by Strandberg, but the court held that there was but nominal damage to the mining claim in consequence, end awarded judgment of Sl but granted an injunction restraining the defendant from further trespaSslng on the claim. This de cisiOn was handed down after the court left Iditarod last summer, and on the request of defendants counsel the conclusions of law were n0t settled which had the effect of slISppnding the operation of the lnjunC- tiOn In the meantime a large quantity of wood had been cut ny the defendant under an alleged permit from the government tim Der agent on the claim. The decision of Judge BunneIl has the effect of restraining the defendant from removing the wood from the claim But as it grants no title to the wood in question to the plaintiffs, a rather interesting situation is created. The ques- ten of appe8Iing the case depends upon the action of the government officials in the matter

THE EAGLE WILL SCREAM AID THERE WILL BE. FUN
 AT FLATS CELEBRATION

Get ready for the celebration of the Glorious Fourth Of July at lat City, The machinery already has been set in motion which is to provide an observance of the nations natal day which shall reflect credit on the citizens of Flat and set high water mark in patriotic celebrations in this sec ton of Alaska.
 At meeting of Flat citizens held on Wednesday evening last the decision to properly celebrate the great holiday was taken, and Dr. Moore was elected chairman of the committee to have charge of the event, and |. Gelden was selected as secre- tary. The object of the meeting was dis- cussed enthusiastically, and it was deter mined to "get busy" on the program at once Another meeting Is to be held tomorrow evening, at which time committees will be appointed to take charge of the various features. From the amount of interest displayed the coming event will be the banner one in the history of the camp.
 While it is too early to venture a fore cast as to the nature of the program, 1t IS intimsted that it will include the customary patriotic exercises a horse race, a baseball game, and athletic sports, to conclude with a grand ball, without which no celebration is complete in Alaska.
 A feature which has been talked of and which will arouse great deal of interest in case 1t is pulled off, is a foot race between two prominent men of the com munity who recently acquired fame as sprinters. As no time was kept on their past performances, and as each has ardent packers, the event is likely to develop into sporting event of first magnitude
