done.

R. O. Parks, returning from a rip to Thomas Bay, encountered a field of icebergs near Soukhoi Islands among which he was able to navigate with considerable difficulty. He declares that in che of the big bergs, a perfectly clear blue one, the carcass of an exceptionally large black bear was embedded in the ice. The melting of the ice had exposed part of the bear so that the fur was waving in the salt water.

Last reports indicated Mrs. Watson's condition so precarious that she was not expected to live.
 This trouble has been in the making for some time. Watson had overlooked the infldelity of the woman on previous occa- sionS and even raised her chil- dren by white men. In the pre- sent trouble, it is said that a nephew, Mike Watson was the trouble maker. Tn his life, James Watson has always been a meek and quiet sort Of fellow. When insult was added to Injury, he took matters into his own hands and it was unfortunate that MT. Sherman was careless in permit ting his body to get within Wat sons view after the tear bomb was thrown into the house for then Watson realized the hope leSsneSs of his case and with the spirit of his forefatherS alive in him, preferred death at his own hands to the disgrace of death from the hangman's moose.

Wheeler Wins His
 Land Title Suit

The land title case projected into the city's affairs last year when James H. Wheeler started to build on property claimed by him and from which he was elected by force by citizens of the town, occupied attention of the District Court during the past week. In sealed verdict, returned to the Court on Mon day, Mr. Wheeler was awarded 9 strip of land 24 feet wide by .55 feet deep and punitive dam ages in the sum of $1. Original suit claimed property with a frontage of 100 feet and puni- tive damages in the sum of $26,- 900. Exemplary damages which were claimed were waived to re- cover damages claimed to have been suffered by being deprived of the property since last year.
 Thus ends a chapter in local civic affairs that has split the population into several factions to the hurt of the entire com munity.

Natiue Hmnes Family Row Ends in Death Deputy Marshal Sherman
 And Suicide FolLows Killing

On the afternoon of the 21st was started a family quarrel be- ; tween James Watson and his wife which resulted in the death of U. s. Deputy Marshal Sher- man, the suicide of Watson and most likely the death of Mrs Watson.
 During a family quarrel, Wat sen lost his temper and fought with his wife, beating her up severely. His daughter, Mrs Shorty ran out to secure the help of Deputy Marshal Sher- man. Before Sher,nan's arrival a MT. Metcaff rescued Mrs. Wat son, though she was severell cut up by her husband. She was re- moved to the U. s. Army Hospit- al at ChilkOot Barracks where doubt has been expressed as to her recovery.
 Realizing what he had done, Watson shut himself in his home and threatened to kill any che who tried to take him, and as some people tried to get near his house he scared them away by show of arms. A tear bomb was secured and thrown into the building and Sherman start ed to approach the residence when Watson opened fire on him hitting him three times before Sherman could reach protecting shelter.
 Shortly after this a fire broke out in the house, the cause of which i1ad not been aScertained. Some thinking it was started by the bomb and others believing Watson had set the fire himself. When the people of Haines rush ed into the building to put out the fire, they found Watson o1 the floor with the top of hi head blown off. He preferre
 oeath at his own hand to deatl from the hangman's moose. Tn fire was put out and the bOdie removed.
