 FINAL GALL

Cordoya Is today in mourning over the visitation of the Death Angel at the home of Mir. and Mrs. William Clayson, in the loss of their only son. Will, who was called to his eternal resting place at 2:5O o'clock this morning. The taking away of this bright and cheerful boy, who has been a patient sufferer for the past eight years, is a distinct shock to the com munity and to the heart-broken par. ents all extend their sympathy. De ceased was fifteen years of age.
 In the fall of 1909. while coasting on c street, Will Clayson was run down by a truck sled, which passed over his body, and since which time his lower limbs have been paralyzed. All that medical science could do was in voked in his behalf and although it afforded some relief, he did not regain the use of his limbs. Through the devoted attention given him by his mother during all these years, his life was undoubtedly prolonged. Special ists in Seattle had been consulted and Mrs. Clayson and Will went to Ro. chester, Minn.,. where the latter was operated on at Mayo Brothers insti- ute.
 Several months ago Will began to fail and for some time past his con dition has been serious. He was un- conscious for the past few days, until late yesterday afternoon, when he re- gained consciousness and conversed with his parents. After that he had sinking spell and at an early hour this morning his spirit departed this earth.
 The funeral will lke place sunday afternoon, services being neld in the Catholic church at o'clock, and the remains will be taken to the states on the steamer Mariposa for interment.

COURT TERM |S DRAWING TO
 A CLOSE

The present term of the district court will likely terminate tomorrow morning or afternoon, and the off cials will return to Valdez on the steamer Northwestern.
 In the case of the United States vs. the Canoe Pass Packing Company, charged with wilful waste of fish, the jury late yesterday afternoon re- turned a verdict of not guilty.
 Today the case of H. A. Sprague vs. Lighthouse Canning and Packing Com pany, which is an action charging a breach of contract, is occupying the attention of the court. C. NJ. Frazier is representing the plaintiff and R. E. Capers and E. F. Medley are attor- neys for the defendant. The follow ing jury was empanelled: F. A. Jones, Charles Kitsman, E. F. Pittman, l.. C. Bates, George l.. Buchanan, II. Dan- iels, E. o. Norgren, J. J. Strigsve, Louis Little and Charles Sponsberg.
 Otto Kanitz is cited to appear in the district court tomorrow morning and show cause why the allowance he is ordered to pay for the support of his child by his second wife, from whom he is divorced, should not be increased from $15 a month to $50 a month. Also to show cause why he should not pay a balance due his wifes attorneys of s2OO.
 The order to show cause is based on the records of the case, and on the affidavit of Anthony J. Dimond, one of the attorneys for the mother of the child, that Mir Kanitz is amply able to pay.
 The case runs back to 1908, when Judge Reid granted decree direct ing Kanitz to pay an attorneys fee of S250, and $50 month for the support of the child In January, 1910, Judge Overfield made an order directing the immediate payment of $50 on the at torney fee and temporarily reducing the allowance for the child to Sl5 a month. Since then no further action has been taken until MT. Dimond made the recent move.
