Much to the surprise of the general public, the case of the United States versus Thomas Watson, indicted by the Grand Jury on the technical charge of conversion by trustee on two counts was dismissed in the District Court this morning as q result of a compro- mise in regard to money matters ln- volved. The primary reason for this unexpected development appears to lie in the fact that although the defendant was arrested on a charge of embcZZle-
 ment by bailee, the Grand Jury return
 ed indictment charging conversion
 Dy trustee, which appears to have con-
 siderably modified the liability of the
 defendant, inasnuch as the charge is
 included in the list of so called mis-
 demeanors. Section 1862 of the com
 piled laws of Alaska provides that the
 injured party in d misdemeanor of thls
 nature may make q compromise and
 recommend the dismissal of the action
 at any time before trial upon the in
 dictment and the following section,
 2363, authorizes the court in such cases
 70 dismiss the action upon recommen-
 dation of the injured party. This pro
 ceedure was followed throughout and
 upon recommendation of Fred and c.
 G. Cowden, which was concurred in by
 Ed. Young, the compliments in the
 case, and upon a statement of the facts
 submitted by Assistant District Attor-
 ney Mundy, the court enered an order
 of dismissal of the action and exoner-
 atlng the defendants bail. A feature of the affair rather mystifying to the laymen is that both the defendant, Watson, and also the Assistant District Attorney express themselves as dis
 satisfied with the proceedings. Attor- ney NIundy declares that the settle- ment was made without his knowledge
 or consent and he is not in agreement herewith as 1t was his desire to try the case on it's merits. Watson also asserts that he wished the case 1 brought to trial as he claims that he | is able to establish proof of complete innocence of the charges upon which he was arrested and indicted, whereas the
 settlement leaves him to great extent
 under a cloud of undeserved suspicion

al allah Rookhn Centenary.

Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with "Lallah Rookh," the
publication of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
just a century ago?
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but Moore's
reputation when he wrote it was such
that he was able to sell it when he
had scarce put pen to paper. Murray
offered 1000 guineas for it, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached Longman, STIMULATING
that the price should be mot less than
the largest amount ever paid for a
poem" THAT" said Longman, twas
the $4,000 paid for Rokeby,'" and on
that basis bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Moore's poem should be equal to
SCOTS in length. Even so, Longman
had the best Of the bargain. Seven
large editions were sold within a year,
and quarter of century later Long

Lieut.. Col Gilbert Darling, G. b., q

In the surgery of the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed as

with the rapid treatment of the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds.

sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be ex-
pected, SO that once man is picked up
by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within very short
time. Here also is a special hospital,
perhaps Of so beds, for abdominal
cases, which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, because
of the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, were generally consid-
cred to be fatal; but under the new
conditions, by which man so hit Is

Immediately, if necessary, without
waiting for other wounded to be placed
in with him, the dangerous delay Is
overcome, and the wound kept aseptic
