 Litigation Brings shootina.

Litigation Brin0s Shooting.
 After Barnette became prosperous he was involved in litigation over rich placer mines on Dome creek. The fight was bitter one, the populace of the then sparsely settled country di- viding into factions. Litigation fol- lowed that set the community afire with feudalism and jealousy.
 Out of it all came shooting affair in which John Ridenour, one of the business associates of Barnette, was so badly injured that he is a cripple for life. The shooting Is said by Mrs. Barnette to have been uncalled for and cowardly attack, inasmuch as Ridenour was unarmed.
 William Deetering, known in the North as Caribou Bill," was indicted for the shooting and promptly ac- quilted, and the Times, Fairbanks paper, sided entirely with the opposi- tion to the Barnette faction, it is al- legged.
 Threatened With Death.
 Barnette grew rich despite the fact that his litigation cost him nearly half million dollars, and in 1910 he withdrew from the Washington-Alas ka bank s200,000, resigned as it's president, and left with his wife for California.
 That winter, MT. Barnette, the story goes, received anonymous letters from Fairbanks to the effect that the bank had failed and that unless he returned to Fairbanks and settled with the depositors he would be killed. He returned and, despite the fact that Mrs. Barnette was an invalid follow ing the birth of her child, she insisted upon accompanying her husband.
 Arrived in Fairbanks, the matter of the failure of the bank was under probe. Barnette was charged with responsibility, and under threat against the life of himself and his family, was compelled to turn over to the receiver all the property held by the couple. It is for the recovery of this money that she now brings suit
 Plan Escape.
 Other letters threatening their lives were received while in Fair banks, and it was then that the couple decided to escape. Wrapped up in furs and thrown into dog sled as merchandise the woman was car ried away from the town and made her escape to the outside world.
 The unfortunate aftermath of the story of the devotion of husband and wife while danger pressed on all sides came in the divorce of the couple a short time ago. Barnette is now be- lieved to be in South America and Mrs. Barnette is stopping at the St. Francis hotel.
 William H. Chapman and R. P. Henshall are attorneys for Mrs. Barnette.
