NEW AGENT FOR
MAS.S.C0.
E. J. Shaw Is now the local
agent of the Alaska Steamship Co.
and successor to Chas. T. Lyons, he
having taken charge of the office
immediately upon the arrival in
Skagway of the Alameda yesterday,
and on board of which he was a
nortii bound passenger frojn the
outside where he and Mrs. Shaw
have been for the past several
weeks on a visit. Mrs. Shaw did not
return but will remain outside un
til a later date.
While we are loth to have to
chronicle the departure of a
citizen of Mr. Lyon's integ
rity and ability, we feel that
his loss to the community is in a
great measure compensated for by
the appointment of a man as his
successor so well and favorably
known as Mr. Shaw, who has been
with us and of us. in our years of
prosperity and our years cf adver
sity, since the earliest history of
the town. _
Mr. Lyons will lecive On the next
southward sailing from Skagway of
the Jefferson or Alamed.i, and will
proceed with as little delay as pos
sible to New York, where M.*s.
Lyons now is and where she recent
ly underwent a severe surgical
operation. We trust and hope that
by the time of his arrival there
she will have so far recovered as
to be entirely out of danger.

When tne trial court resumed its
session after roc033 yesterday after
noon there were a number of addi
tional witnesses called, some of
whom not being present , another
recess was had until S o'clock
in order to allow of their being
brought forward to give their tes
timony. At S o'clock the court
again convened and after a few
more witnesses had been examined
Judge Jennings decided that as the
evidence of the remonstrants
against the TEiitinp of a license
had not been sufficiently direct and
as a further reason that Mr. Flali
er'y l ad been engaged la the sa
loon business in Skugway, for the
l>ESt five years and th® gianting of
hit petition would only entitle him
to a continunnco under it until
the 1st of July, when the residents
of the town would have ;.u oppor
tunity to expiess their wishes as to
whether he should be granted a
further license, he would grant the
license asked for until the 1st of
July, 1914, the business to be con
ducted on the southeast corner of
Hroadway and Fourth A\enue in
stead of in lt-3 present location.
