tons, injections Of drugs, etc. at his
own will. But almost invariably the
wounded or sick Soldier absolutely
trusts his surgeon or physician as long
as no foreign element modifies his

He further goes on to say that two
elements may interfere. one the fear
of pain or anesthetics and the other
unwillingness to be cured and return
TO military duty, and calls the latter
cases desertion. In either case pres
sure is brought to bear in the way Of
pension considerations or the return,

CIRCUIT COURT / AFF|RMS LOCAL
 JUDGE s RULING

By cable from San Francisco it has been learned that the United States circuit court of appeals for the Ninth circuit has affirmed the decision of Judge Brown in the case of Andrew Grosvold vs. F. F. Whelpley. l.. L. James, Jr., of this city, represented Grosvold, as against J. Lindley Green Donohoe & Dimond and R. J. Harri- son.
 This case was tried before Judge Brown in the summer of 1916 at Val dez. when judgment was rendered in favor of Grosvold, permanent 1n- function issuing from the court re- straining Whelpley or his agents from trespassing on Little Koniuji island.
 Whelpley was on Little konluJll island when the department Of com merce called for bids for leasing said island from the United States for a period of five years. Bids were suo- mitted to the department by an as- sociate of Whelpleys and MT. Gros- void. The department accepted the bid of Grisvold and issued to him a lease of the island from the United States for a period of five years.
 Grosvold allowed Colwell, an em ploye and agent of Whelpley's, cer tain time out of his five-year leasing neriod in which to trap Whelpley foxes already on said island and re move all of Whelpley's personal prop erty. Subsequently Colwell vacate said island on September l, 1914, a
 agreed. Grosvold then took posses
 sion and planted said island with blu
 foxes. A short time therearte
 WheIpley went upon said island an

 heated several times. Grosvold the ! brought suit in the district court
