COURT OF APPEALS SUSTAINS DECREE OF JUDGE BUNNELL
CASES ARISING OUT OF REcEIV- ERSHlP WASHlNGToN-ALAsKA
 BANK BEEN DECIDED

H. Claude Kelly, former Clerk of the Fourth Diviison, who is now in Seward on his way out to the States, received a telegram today announcing that the Circuit Court of Appeals had sustained Judge Charles E. Bunnell on all points in the cases against John R. McGinn and R. c. Wood which were carried to the Circuit Court of Appeals from the decision of Judge Bunnell,
 The cases are probably the most i'm portant ones decided in the Alaska courts in recent years. They were bit terly fought by able counsel on both sides and were creative of much feel ing in the interior town. The cases grew out of the failure of the Wash ington-Alaska Bank in 1910 over which there has been such great deal ot legislation and will be remembered in this division by reason of E. T. Bar nett trials in Valdez.
 The matter was recently before the Circuit court of appeals on contempt ? proceedings by which R. C. Wood was compelled to sign over his property to a receiver. The present decision ot the Appellate Court will force the pay ment to the reciever of the bank of his claims against John McGlinn; the lat ter probably having to pay about $75,00O.
 With the final determination ol these cases the receivership of the Washington-Alaska bank ought to be terminated in the near future and the depositors receive their dividends

 The stock of many of the stores in- ciudine that of two jeweIry stores was mostly saved. Other buildings in the block including Brown & Hawkins, were stripped of their stock and fix lures which suffered some loss from water and general damages in taking them from the buildings.
 The heavy losers are Peyser's Tai Ioring Shop and Palace O Sweets, the North Pole Bakery and George A. Greenlee, which were without insur' ance. The total loss is about fifty thousand dollars which is covered by about $13,ooo of insurance.
 The fire was checked about 10:3C o'clock this morning, having ragged for an hour and half. The only thing saving Brown 6 Hawkins store was a brick fire wall which aided the firemen to get the flames under control.
 This is the second disastrous fire sustained by Anchorage, the first oc curinu about a year ago. Only the splendid water system and facilities for fire fighting saved the city this time.

She talked of these things with
Mrs. Roberts, and the old lady, ad-
miring her independence, encour-
aged her to keep to her decision
Said she:
"Mr. Fallon naturally wants YOU
to have everything. lie is rich and

having you go on working, his
wanting to give you your trousseau.
But deep down III his heat | am
sure he respects you for refusing
Few girls would have the stamina
to do so-especially girls who love
pretty things as you do

tions as we'll as OF larger things,

Because of constantly comparing

conditions. Nellie did exactly what
Mrs. Roberts hoped she wouldn't
She deprecated herself to Mr.. Fal-
Ion, apolC lied for her short-com-

She was almost painfully anxious
to please him, and not embarrass
him by awlSwardnesses to which he
was not accustomed when with the
Young ladies' of his own set-his

Nellie often self-consciotls; some
thing she never before had been.

to be stilted, to lose the charm her
naturalness had given it.

alone to ponder these things they
would not have so distressed her,

and working out her problems az

Her pride in her handsome, dis
tinguished looking lover was in
