Men in the Employ of the Government Arrested on a Charge of
 TreSpaSS.
CASE POSTPONED TODAY
Superintendent Hayes Is Chagrined at Action which Holds Up
 Road Work.

Cyrus F. Sheldon late yesterday afternoon appeared before U. s. Commissioner N. l.. Burton and swore out a warrant for the arrest of five men working for the Alaska Road Commission, charging them with trespass. Marion Pratt, Carl Roberts, John Lindahl, W. J. Me Donald and Red Simpson were sub sequently arrested and allowed to go after being instructed to appear this morning for hearing.
 This morning, on the request of Superintendent J. C. Hayes, the case was continued until after the return of District Attorney Jas. A. Smiser from Ketchikan.
 The five men arrested were en- beach in front of the Sheldon home stead and putting it on the Menden- hall road. Sheldon claims that the men were taking the gravel from his land and were injuring his prop erty.
 An examination of the place where the work was being done this shows that the point from which the gravel was being taken is below the high tide mark It is also outside the original fence erected by Sheldon himself and is outside of the meander line survey established by the U. s Govern ment The point also immediate ly adjoins the property under dis pute between Sheldon and Gus Mes and Mrs. Kate A. Kabler, and which Judge Jennings recently decided did not belong to Sheldon unless he was in actual possession and actually needed it for access and egress to and from his land.
 MT. Hayes stated this morning that he was sorry MT. Sheldon had seen fit to take such an arbitrary stand in the matter as it delayed the work of the commission ma terially
 Sheldon opposed us when we first put the road across his land and has worked against us ever since" MT. Hayes said. 'lf he the question of our right to take gravel from the beach de- cided in the courts why did he not have me arrested instead of the men. That would not have stopped the work nor interefered with us. am responsible for the men work ing and I am the one that should have been arrested.
 We are entirely within our rights to take the gravel from the beach. We are working below the line of high tide and the beach below the tide mark is Government property Sheldons property is not being injured in any way by the removal of the gravel, but is being benefited as the gravel is used to improve the roadway through his own place"

LOSS IN THE FIRE
 YESTERDAY IS NOW
 ESTIMATED AT S3,000

Repairs to the Idaho Booming House which was damaged by fire yesterday were started this after noon and they will be rushed to a rapid completion. Now that the first excitement of the fire is over, and those who suffered loss can check up the damage done by the fire and water, it is estimated at $3,000, par tially covered by insurance.
 The building is owned by the First National Bank and is covered with insurance. The adjusters this morn ing were unable to fix the extent of the damage and agreed with the owners that the actual bills for re- pairs should be paid by the insur- ance companies. It is estimated by the owners and the insurance men that $500 will cover the cost of re- pairs.
 William Britt, the heaviest loser, stated this morning that the amount of his damage would not be ascer- tained until a full inventory had been taken Much of the stock which was injured by the water will be a total loss.
 MT. Britt stated that his store. while badly torn up. is open for reg ular business and that he estimates $500 will cover the loss due to the water This was covered by in surance.
 H. c. Daniels. owner of the spec ialty store, is taking an inventory of the stock with a view of estimating the damage done by the water. Much of his stock is tin ware. which will be rusted and Christmas goods which may be badly damaged. The loss is estimated by Mir Daniels to be between $500 and $500 covered by insurance.
 Mrs. Buckingham's loss consisted of bedding, mattresses and furniture. which were soaked by the water and damaged by the smoke from the fire Part of her loss also consisted of the loss of business which will amount to considerable. She estimated her damage at $500, without insurance.

STICK TO YOUR PROMISE

Some complaint is made by the
Woman's Club ladies that there are
those who signed an agreement TO
take Chautauqua tickets and are de-
clining to do so. giving various ex-
cuses This is not as II should be.
Every good citizen wants TO maize
his word as good as his bond, and
will do so in little as well as big
things. The signing of the cards Civ
en- out at the wind-up of the Chau-
tauqua last year is direct contract
and those who signed them could be
made TO take the tickets they agreed
to. but of course, the ladies do not
propose to 20 TO court about such a
matter The Woman's Club has Oh
ligated itself to pay the Chautauqua
people a certain amount and they
will have to do so. The Club is
bringing the attraction here as much
for your pleasure and entertainment
rs for its members. Don't let your
failure 20 make good your obligation
get them in a hole. but on the cord
trary do as you promised and begin
now to boost the Chautauqua. The
big attraction is just n month of.
Tell your friends about II and make
your arrangements TO go from May
27 to 81, without missing a single at
traction
