 Judge Reed is a member of one of the fine old pioneer families of Washington, and a pioneer of AL aska. He practiced law and served as United States Commissioner at Nome until he was appointed United States District Judge with head quarters at Juneau three years ago.
 Judge and Mrs. Reed are expected home in Juneau in about two weeks.

Commissioner Wm. c Thomas who bound him over to the district court on a $500 cash bond.
 links claims loudly that the wet goods found in his possession had been purchased for medicinal use for himself and no one else. If that be true he must have intended to give the medicine" a good trial as he had purchased one hundred dollars worth One of the most surprising things about the haul is that the name of the Chinese firm in San Francisco which sold the spirits to Jinks was plainly printed on the la bels on the bottles.
