Nome Mine Owners Apply to the Circuit Court for Relief. e More light was shed yesterday on the methods of United States District Judge Noyes.of Nome, Alaska, when the law firm of Campbell, Metson & Campbell re- celved appeal papers from Nome in two cases involving the possession and title to two of the richest mining claims in that section, which Judge Noyes turned over to the plaintiffs in the action just before he left there by making one of his notorious ‘“‘deep sea orders.” The petition {or the appeal and a writ of supersedeas will be filed in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals imme- diately, and when the facts are threshed out before the court the attorneys say another of Judge Noyes’ illegal proceed- ings will be brought to light. ‘When Judge Noyes left Nome on the steamer Roanoke last month he signed several orders in various cases pending in ‘his court while: he was aboard the steamer, the attorneys say, after he had adjourned the session of the court and announced that he would transact no bus- iness until he returned. The cases of Jordan vs. Lane and Jor- dan vs. Davenport, suits in_ejectment, over Nos. 2 and 3 on Elkhorn Creek, were among the number of legal matters that Judge Noyes attended to while aboard the Roanoke, aud it is in these two cases that the appeal and supersedeas has been asked for. The petition sets forth that without giv- ing the defendants due notice or an op- portunity of flling an answer Judge Noyes issued an order turning over the posses- sion of the property to the plaintiff. This action on his part, so the defendants’ at- torneys claim, practically decides the suit, 80 far as this mining season goes at least. Attorney H. M. Wright of this city, who was the legal adviser of Lane and Dav- enport at Nome this summer, when seen yesterday in reference to the matter said: “I was very much surprised to learn that Judge Noyes had signed an_order giving the plaintiffs possession of this property just prior to his departure for the outside. “Judge Noyes left Nome on August 12, and when I left two days later there was nothing to indicate that he had signed an order placing Jordan in possession .of the claims. Judge Noyes’ action in this matter simply means a loss of at least 5,000 to my clients. Last season he al- lowed the plaintiffs to work the ground, and out of No. 2 they extracted over $30,- 000 worth of gold. I presume they are now working the property again, and by the time the evil is corrected they wiil have practically worked out the claims. “Jordan claims title to the ground through a location which, it is claimed, died a natural Geath by the failure of the locator to perform the required assess- ment work. He bought the title in Seat- tle and has been attempting ever since to gain legal possession of the property. “The idea of issuing an order giving the plaintiffs possession of the property and directing the United States arshal to eject our clients in the manner Judge Noyes did is, to my mind, both illegal and unjust. 5 “T received a letter yesterday informing me that Attorney A. J. Daly, who repre- sents Jordan, got Judge Noyes to sign the order aboard the steamer. He probably kept the papers in_his pocket until after I had left Nome, for neither myself nor my clients were notified of the matter up to the time I left.” e e e e e e e B e ) TALENT SELECTS GRONIN'S DOG Figures Tame Tralee a Winner at Union Park. ———— The first and second rounds of a sev- enty-two dog open stake were run off yes- terday at Union Park. The talent was given a severe shaking up, as throughout the day's sport seventeen favorites were retired. The short ends that landed were well played and averaged at good odds. James Lick, a new performer, secured the decision from Lovina in a course in which the wise ones laid 6 to 1 against his chances. Tame Tralee has a strong backing for stake honors. His two performances pleased the talent, and figuring his easy position on the card they consider the young courser a likely candidate. ‘Winners in the third round look to be Controller, Annie Hall, Amedee, Tiburon, First Foot, Castaway, St. Ives, Royal Archer and Tame Tralee. Annie Hall and First Foot figure to get well along on the card. In addition to the finals of yesterday’s event a thirty-two-dog open stake will be decided to-day at the park. The list of entries gives the event a champion tone. Winners look to be John Doe, Wedge- wood, Homer Boy, Lady Clare, War Eaglé, Sacramento Boy, Dewdrop, Har- lean Gladys, Nora, White Hat, Luxor, Fying Fox, America, Rector and Flood- gate.

The baseball game at Recreation grounds between the German aggregaticn and the Capital City sluggers yesterday was of the see-saw order until the last in- ning. Joshua Reilly then unraveled one of Stricklett’s twisters and sent Shay over the plate with the winning run. The game was a slow one, dragging along for over two hours. It was not entirely de- void of interest, as the unforeseen kept happening at close intervals. Both sid:s executed some clever plays. The principal feature of the day was the good work with the willow done by | “Josh” Reilly. He made three safe hiis, putting the sphere on.the other side of the boards once when Shay was on ihe bases. The Germans secured a 'bunch of three runs in the second by means of a pass, an error by McGucken and a four-cushion swipe by Reilly. In the seventh two singles-and a wild pitch netted another, and in the last round Shay trotted across the rubber by means of Rellly’s lucky drive. The Lawmakers filled the sacks in the fourth round and the gong sounded three times in' their honor when McGucken and Stricklett hit safely. Devereaux made the trip in’the seventh, getting hit by a pitched ball and scoring on Sheehan's long double to center. “‘Chimmie der Whale” was substituted for Iburg in the eighth, in order to give the latter a rest. He did not give ths Senators a hit, but managed to_make an error out of an easy chance. Following is the score: PO. A. E.

Entries for the bench show of the Sixth Agricultural Assoclation to be held at Los Angeles, October 3, 4, 5 and 6, will close at 10 p. m. on the night of the 23d inst. Applications for entry blanks and premium lists should be addressed to D. J. Sinclair, superintendent, 226 Scuth Spring street, Los Angeles. There can be no doubt that the interest in kennel matters has been vastly stimu- lated by the fall shows to be held this year in California. Fanclers are already beginning to get their dogs into trim for the Oakland show, which will not be held until December. George Bell has been selected to judge the bulk of the classes. If he consents to serve the choice will un- doubtedly bring out an enormous entry, as he is well known and liked. Many dogs are being brought to the coast to compete in these shows and it is possible an entire string will come from the East. A. G. Glenn's mastiff Cleopatra, winner of the blue ribbon at the San Erancisco show of 1900, has whelped four dogs.and two bitches to W. E. Meek's champion California Cube. Mr. Meek, however, has had the misfortune to lose by death his mastiff Hebe Montez. She escaped from her kennel and picked up a dose of poison intended for gophers. Endcliffe Lita, the Boston terrier pur- chased from L. A. Klein by the well- known breeder of bull terriers, Albert Joseph, has whelped seven puppies to Walter Magee's dog Winner. Mr. Jos- eph's other Boston terrier, Lady Montez, ‘has been bred to Mrs. Carlton’s Tremont. Sporting Events Postponed. The final trap-shooting meeting of the season, scheduled for to-day at Ingleside grounds under the auspices of the Olym- pie Gun Club, has been postponed until next Sunday, owing to the President's eath. The special boxing bouts which were to have been decided at the Olympic Club next Wedneldu.}v night have been post- poned indefinitely. The clambake at Paradise Cove, which had been arranged by members of the San Francisco Yacht Club for to-day, will not take place. Another date will be fixed later in the season. —_———— Trapper’s Oll cures rheumatism and neuralgia, Druggists, 50c flask.

While there his studious dispo- sitlon attracted the attention of Captain J. F. Morrill, the superintendent, under whx‘)se care Napthaly gained a fair edu- cation. When released from the school Charles de Young took him under his wing and Ellaced him on the Chronicle as a reporter. e left De Young's employ later and took a position on the Bulletin, where he did some good work. After leaving the Bulletin he published a paper of his own, the Sun, In an early edition of which he made a scurrilous at- tack on the De Young family. Charles de Young went gunning for him and the two fought a duel on Wasnington street In front of the Postoffice. Neither received any injury, but one of the bullets from De Young's pistol took effect in the leg of a messenger boy. De Young was ar- rested but afterward acquitted. Meanwhile Napthaly had turned his attention to the study of law. He was ad- mitted to the bar. His career as a lawyer is a story of petty chicanery. He took to drink and his downfah was rapid. He radually sank to the fevel of a Police Eourt “‘shyster,” and when he left this city for Honolulu some three years ago it was as _a veritable derelict. The history of ‘his lifg in Honolulu is a repetition of his San Francisco career. He returned about three months ago, but made no apparent effort to brace up. He was married twice. STUBBORNNESS OF O’BRIEN ~ RETARDS IMPROVEMENTS California sm;fi;;' Association Meets and Discusses Construction of Debris Barriers. Steps are to be taken by the executive committee of the California State Miners’ Association, which met last evening, to begin legal proceedings against the coun- ties now giving financial aid to the Anti- Debris Association. The proposition came from an attorney who claims to have been successful in preventing payments in one county to the assoclation and expressed his confidence to do the same eleswhere. The matter will be taken up in time to JUDGE TROUTT REDUCES MRS. MURRAY’S BONDS Administratrix of Almira $. Town- send’s Estate Petitions Court for Reduction. The bonds of Mrs. Ella Murrey, admin- istratrix of the estate of Almira S. Town- send, have been reduced from $625,000 to $5000 by an order issued by Judge Troutt. Mrs. Murray in her petition to the court showed that the value of the estate now remaining in her hands was $5,000, and that, considering that an order of court was required before she could touch it, the original bonds were excessive. B Wants Letters of Administration. Edward H. Schwerin applied for letters of administration on the estate of Henry Schwerin yesterday. The estate is valued at $75,000 and consists of property known as the Schwerin ranch in San Mateo County, 190 acres known as the Schwerin tract in San Mateo County and several lots located in San Francisco.

Considerable attention was given to the matter of the acquirement of lands along the Feather and Yuba rivers for the con- struction of barriers and impounding dams. Congress appropriated $10.00 for the acquirement of property and the State of California a like amount. Op- tions were secured on a large portion of land needed. These options expire on Oc- tober 22, and one O'Brien, who holds the Kkey to the situation, has been acting stub- bornly with the commission. Colonel Heuer of the United States De- bris Commission, State Debris Commis- sioner Waggoner of Placer County, Dis- trict Attorney Dinsmore of Yuba County, State Mineralogist Aubury, Lieutenant Governor Jacob H. Neff and others dis- cussed the situation in all its details. Sec- retary Benjamin and R. C. Clarke were appointed a committee to see O'Brien and j try to induce him to settle on such terms as might bring the purchase of all lands within the amount of the appropriation. Professor Christie suggested the ap- pointment of a committee to prepare suit- able resolutions upon the death of Presi- dent McKinley, to be presented to the annual convention. Chairman Voorhies will name the committee in a few days. It will be composed of a number of the members of the association who took part as electors and alternates in the proceed- ings leading up to the choice of the Presi- dent. —_———— Headaches, nervousness, watery ‘yes, pain about the eyes or in back of the head or in temples, sore or inflamed eyes or eyelids, cross- eyes, a feeling llke sand in the ey itching, burning, smarting, black spats, specks, etc. Mayerle's Glasses are known to be the best remedy for these symptoms, and strengthen eve and brain.
