M'G|LL'S JOYR|DERS'
CONVICTION SUSTAINED

Unless by an appeal to the supreme
court the decision of Judge McFad-
den is reversed the participants In
the recent rail riding episode at Nc
Gill will have to suffer the conse-
Quences of their frolic.
Yesterday afternoon Judge McFad-
den denied the writ of habeas corpus
asked for by Attorneys Lockhart and
Quayle for their client, Chris Haller.
alleged ringleader in the ARRAY, and
remanded the defendant to the GUS
tody of the sheriff a request of
the attorney for thirty days time in
which to perfect an appeal to the
supreme court was granted.
The sentence imposed by Justice
Mcdonald in the justice court was
fine of $12o or sixty days in Jail for
each of the twelve defendants.
Judge McFadden rendered his de-
3ision in writing and cited numerous
cases in support Of his opinion He
held that the verdict of the jury in
the justice court finding tho defend
ants guilty of assault IVES regular and
in conformity with the law: that the
word guilty was sufficient and that
the word assault" was a surplusagei
and that the verdict clearly indicated
the intention of the jay was to find
the defendants guilty and not to ex-
press the degree of the verdict. but
rather to express lienency He also
held that the justice of the peace had
the right to impose a Jail sentence
in the event the fine was not paid.
The judge took the view that where
no great injutisce had been done by
the jury's verdict the application of
the law should be considered in
broad sense rather than nullify the
verdict on Il techEicalitv.

PEDESTRIANS IN
PERIL IN STREETS
SINCE THE STORM

Great danger to pedestrians turks
in tho streets of Ely since the
snowstorm of Friday last, or after
any snowstorm where the sidewalks
are abandoned and the people
traverse the roadways with cars of
various kinds of lights and some
with none at all coming and going
Also with speeds as numerous and
assorted as the lights or more SO.
Drivers arc legally to blame for
anything happening under such
circumstances, but person has
only to be a driver of any kind of
car to know how difficult it is to
make out people walking ahead oe
a car in the alternating shadows
and glares of the Ely streets at
night.
The worst of the danger is from
Fords without lighting batteries,
which give poor light when run
ming in high gear unless the speed
is rapid. There is as mucn If not
more danger to pedestrians from
them at night when running slow
than fast.
Many of those persons who walk
to and fro on the streets have never
driven car an dthey seem to as
sumo that all cars have good lights
and that the drivers see everything
ahead of them, which is not the
fact. Ford drivers frequently do
not see persons in the road until
within thirty Or forty feet of them
Another and equally as great a
danger is that when two cars
meet aud walkers move in the
glare. Their lower limbs oftimps
cnly are discernable and their
bodies lost in the shadows that ex
tend upwards to the skies. Yet
walkers who have never driven a
car seem to take it for granted that
when two cars meet and both have
lights of greater or less Brightness
the space in front is all the clearer,
which again is anything but the
fact as to visibility. 1t may be
brighter than with one, but so much
so that the driver is completely
blinded and the walkers life there
by not worth 10 cents. The coroner
is liable to be in demand any night.

Pioneer Remains Away
after Death of Wife

Dennis Coyle, for twenty-one years
owner of the Six Mile ranch beyond
Hamilton, where he was engaged in
the cattle business, has decided to re-
main for the winter at Tonopah,
where his beloved wife recently was
buried, and will return to his White
Pine home in March or April. Ed
Coyle. his son, returned a week ago
after attending the funeral of his
mother, and says his father looks ten
years younger, though he IS greatly
saddened by the pathetic demise Of
his aged helpmeet.
Mrs. Coyle was a Eureka pioneer
Of ~. She came around the Horn
with her mother and was still in her
teens when she reached the Nevada
mining camp where she met her
future husband. The couple remain
ed in Euerka, where their children
were born and reared. until 1902.
Two married daughters, Mrs Rose
Dougherty and Mrs. Fanny Hill, re.
side at Tcnopah. The parents re-
moved there last spring to be where
they could have medical treatment,
as last winter at the ranch proved
perilous for them in that respect.

TREASURE HILL DEAL
TO Be C0NSUMATEO

Treasure Hill, Hamilton, the famed
rich spot of the old days of White
Pines mining metropolis, seems to
be in fair way to enter into new
career of activity and production.
This week second visit was made to
the group by George CAREY, an emil
nent mining engineer, who for sew
eral years was general manager of
the Tonopah-Belmont, and iRdica-
tions are that his people are to dis
patch another representative soon to
complete negotiations for closing
deal and making a substantial cash
payment.
When Mr.. CAREY was there pre-
viously he committed himself strong
ly in favor of the group and there
is no doubt remaining as to what his
inclinations are. The fact of his
significant.
Practically all the properties on
Treasure hill have been under option
for upwards of a year to John Sher-
man Bagg, who has been indefatiga-
BILE in their promotion. Mr.. Bagg has
such a successful record in the past
in this regard that it would hardly
be expected of him to fail this time.
even though mining at this time is
the hardest of Industries to interest
capital in.
M. Bagg was in the city Yesterday
ing better than at any time in the
past. He has been in constant COM
munication with the clientele of Mr..
CAREY for several months.
Meanwhile Mr.. Bagg has secured
six month extensions on all mis- op-
tions, which have been granted with

NEW GRADE OPEN TO TRAVEL FROM
ELY TO LITTLE PANCAKE SUMMIT

road between Ward and Hamilton,
which road in the stage days passed
through Keystone, Mineral City, now
called Lane City, and Robinson, the
last being the present city of Ely.
This old stage road mugs the new
grade closely for the entire distance
or has been covered over by it. To
observe in passing over the new
grade it is a sorry looking old relic
Of a road, but it is full OF historic
interest, replete with stirring events
Of wonderful past.
The old Hamilton-Cherry Creek
road and Hamilton-Ward road forked
Just east of the Norman ranch, the
former bearing northeasterly to the
Butte range, into Butte valley and
across the Egar mountains, while the
latter by taking an almost due east
erly course led to the lowest pass
into the head of Robinson canyon and
without as much climbing made it's
way direct into Steptoe. This circum
stance has been taken advan-
tage of in locating the Lincoln high
way making the summit an easy one
to keep open and cross in winter,
which applies also to the Iilipah as
a substitute for the White Pine sum-
nit. But in the case of the latter
people living out that way claim the
west side grade up White Pine range
may not be a success, being ON the
wrong side of the CANYON to be free
from snow
OF immediate interest to autoists
is the fact that the new road entire
ly leaves out that chorpy str etch up
the east bench of Jake's valley
which was worse dreaded than Jake
summit itself.

Between Ely and tho Little Pan
cake summit, 55 miles west, the
Lincoln highway has been open for
travel for several days, though these
projects have not been completed. At
the keystone intersection at the
Moorman ranch and I'lipah creek
the signs forbidding cars to pass over
the new highway have been taken
down
The new road IN both cases is he-
ing used by hundreds of cars and the
sense OF relief that their drivers are
enjoying can better be understood
when it is noted that the Kimberly.
Jake's and White Pine SUBMITS are
things of the past for people using
the Lincoln highway.
The two last especially were bad
ones for Ford cars, the flivver that
could negotiate either without stop

ed and pushed was the exception.
Today all cars go over the two di-
yides on high gear. on broad thor

This is not new Or recent routing

vate conversation, but the old and

MEMORIAL UNDER WAY
 IGNORING MISS WOODS

To honor the memory of Miss Ella Lee Woods, faithful church and community worker in Wrangell for many years. who passed away in Mo Minnville, Oregon, last Easter, St. Philips Church is planning a new altar rail to match the pulpit, chancel rail and lectern which have been placed in the church during the past year. The pulpit was erected to the memory of the mother of Cor don B. Smith, superintendent of the ChautauQua, who visited here two years ago, and the lectern was given by MT. and Mrs. Fred Wigg, in mem- ory of their daughter, Mabel. The lectern, like the pulpit and chancel rail, is of red and yellow cedar and of the same beautiful workmanship. It was dedicated by Rt. Rev. P. T. Rowe. Bishop of Alaska, on his re- cent visit to Wrangell. The new al tar rail will be finished by Christ mas, more than half of the amount needed having been subscribed al- ready by people interested in its completion. Friends of Miss Woods who desire to assist in this mark of honor to her memory. may give their contributions to Rev. H. P. Corser. or to Mrs. J. H. Wheeler, treasurer of the Guild.

Matt Pellinen Gets
 Compensation Rating

Some time ago when 1t becam,
 known that Matt Pellinen, a wei
 known ex-service man of Wrangell
 was tubercular and was entering the U. S. Veterans Hospital No. S5 al
 walla Walla, the Red Cross at once interested itself in his behalf, in or. der that he might receive a compen- sation rating that would enable him to have proper care until his cure is effected.
 Donald Sinclair, one of the mem bers of the executive committee of the Wrangell Red Cross Chapter. made business trip to the States re- gently, and while away he visited the Veterans Bureau and made a personal appeal for consideration of MT. Pellinen's case.
 A few days ago Chairman J. G. Grant of the local chapter of the Red Cross received notification that the Bureau had found that MT. Pellinen's present disability of tuberculosis is service connected, and that com pensation rating has been granted in his favor. His award states that he is to be paid sS per month from July 30, 1921. to July 30. 1923. and $50 per month from that time on.
 Last week Judge Thomas forward ed copy of Mir. Pellinen's marriage certificate, and also copy of the birth certificate of his little girl. The Red Cross is confident that when these are presented to the Bu- reau MT. Pellinen will receive a re- rating which will give him ss5 per month
 Ed Grigwire and other local friends of Mir. Pellinen have received letters from him within the past few days. He expresses himself as more than contented. now that Mrs. Pellinen and his little daughter have come to Walla Walla and are near him. Writing under date of Novem- Der 25, he states that his family are we'll and that he himself has gained Sh pounds since coming to the hos pital, but that the doctors do not hold out any hope of his recovering in time to do any fishing next sea- son. -z----5- =----=-,-z=-=--=

TOURIST GIRL WRITES
 ARTICLE TELLING HER
 IMPRESSION OF WRANGELI

Mrs. T. J. Case this week received a letter from an acquaintance in Kansas City, enclosing clipping of a full column story of a visit to Wrangell by a tourist. The article appeared in one of the Kansas City dailies and dealt with totems more than anything else. The author was a girl and she incorporated into her story Rev. MT. Corser's reading oi the Kicksetti totem and also a pic. ture of the totem which she snapped herself. The story as whole is no, worthy of being reprinted in ar Alaska paper. However, the gallan, boys of the Wrangell Fire Depart. ment should get kick" out of the following paragraph taken from the article :
 'The quaint little town of Wrangell which is extensively advertised as a"City of Totems." is built along the beach and against the side of a great hill. It has only wooden houses, and
 if fire ever got started there the whole town would be wiped out, totems and all"
