 Verdict of the Jury.

The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company was given verdict in the damage case Mary Koski, as ad ministratrix of the estate of Peter Koski, deceased, brought against the company as the result of the land slide on January ?, 1920.
 The jury at 10 o'clock last night reached the decision that water es- caping from the ditch or penstock was not the proximate cause of the slide. The verdict was sealed and then opened and read in the United States District Court this morning by Clerk of the Court j. w. Bell. from the time the case was given to the jurymen until the final decis- ion was made. Many ballots were taken on the question regarding the cause of the landslide. It is said that two or three members of the jury held that the water es- caping from the penstock or ditch did cause the slide. After visit to the scene yesterday afternoon, and then further consideration last night the unanimous decision was finally reached that the water from the penstock or ditch did not cause the slide.
 The other three questions, were excavations testified to a proXimate cause of the slide; was defendant negligent in any of the particulars set forth, and if so, of what did the negligence consist were not taken into consideration as the first ques- tion settled the case.
 Mary Koski, as administrator of the estate of her husband, brought suit against the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company for $8,000, loss of house. loss of lot. loss of household furnishings and S400 in money.
 John Rustgard chief counsel for Mary Koski, stated that the verdict of the jury, that the water escaping from the ditch or penstock was not proximate cause of the slide. makes it unnecessary to take an appeal in this case, and that no appeal will be taken.
 When the jury made its report this morning the court room was crowd ed and spectators were standing lr the hall near the court room door
