GOOD SUGGESTIONS BY
CITY HEALTH OFFICER
ADVENT OF SPRINQ AND WARM WEATHER 8HOULO BE SIGNAL
FOR GENERAL CLEANUP OF PREWII8E8 TO PREVENT
THE POSSIBILITY OF DISEASE
The snow is thawing away fas!
from our streets and the warm
spring weather is with us. This
is the, opportune time to dispose
of our winter accumulated heaps
of ashes, garbage, tin cans and
all waste matter. Owing to the
mildness of last winter I he flies
will very thiek this summer,
and possibly the mosquitoes
thicker. While we can do little
to diminish the pest of mosqui
toes we can do a great deal to ex
terminate the fly from our homes.
Begin the crusade now and do not
wait until I he deadly musca do
incstica crowds you cm I of your
kitchen, dining room and parlor.
The house fly's favorite hatching
place is the manure piles; excre
tion of all animals even human
excrcle and decayed animal mat
ter. If you realize the fact that
every fly is able in our climate
lo produce 500 flies during the
season, you can realize the im
portance of starting the fight
against the foe right now. The
Jly feeds upon the same food as
we do and every empty milk can
thrown in your back yard you
■help it to thrive and multiply.
For tin' purpose of maintain
ing good sanitary conditions, I
would request all citizens to heed
Ihe following suggestions:
1. Clean your sidewalk, street
and hack yard Fcoin all tin cans,
garbage, waste mailer, decayed
•peelings and all lilt 11 whatsoever.
2. Throw all your garbage
kitchen wasle and cans into a
receptacle lo he emptied period
ically by Ihe scavenger. A good
fpart of tin* kitchen wasle could
be burned and a good receptacle
for tin cans is a gunny sack.
3. All privies in crowded quar
teis and situated close lo the
bouse should he made tight 1»>
exclude Hies and insects. The
receptacle box should be flushed
occasionally with solution of
chloride of lime, copperas, one
pound lo a gallon of water, or
with some kerosine, which would
kill matrirols or flies and inserts
of all kinds.
h. All manure piles are a men
ace as far as Ihe fly pest is con
cerned. They should not exist.
All manure should he carried
away. If kept in a pi to for pur
pose of fertilizing solution of
chloride of lime should be thrown
on every fresh layer of manure.
5. To keep your sinks and
drains sweet and clean, throw in
occasionally a gallon of copper
as solution, one pound to (he gal
lon Copperas is cheap.
(>. Commence to use fly traps
and fly papers now. Of course
you have screens. For every fly
you destroy now you will prevent
hundreds of others from sharing
your home this summer.

ON AN APPEAL CASE
(Continued from page 1)
About the lime the Alaska
Homo was started by IT. I). Rey
nolds, I he Copper River company,
popularly known as I be "Guggen
hcims,"put a small force of men
at work in Ihe canyon on the
gradeleadi ngf mm the westerly
entrance. As tbe Alaska Home
work approached tbe canyon,
George G. JIazelel. general agent
of the Copper River company, be
came uneasy lest I lie Alaska
Home menmi ghtdisplace the
Guggenheim' forces, lie obtained
tbe appointment of Edward C.
Uasey andDuncan Dickson as
special deputy United States mar
shals, paid by tbe Copper River
company for tbe alleged purpose
of protecting tbe properly of tbe
Gtiggcnhcims and of preserving
order in tbe vicinity.
The entrance to I be canyon on
I lie railroad grade is through n
"cut" with a curve in it. About
200 fecj beyond 'bis cut. a oari

Prospector
shooting tho Alaska Homo men
held a sort of mass meeting out
side tho canyon and decided to go
inside.
The facts of the succeeding oc
currences are disputed, the Alas
ka Home witnesses claiming that
they went in peaceably, equipped
only with picks and shovels. They
were headed by a party of locat
ing engineers carrying their in
struments. The fiuggenhcim
sympathizers claim the Alaska
■Home men were a riotous mob,
threatening to drive out the oth
er company. II is agreed I hat I he
Alaska Home men straggled along
in smal| squads. They numbered
about 140, according to the lime
keeper.
When the first squad of Alas
ka Home men passed through the
cut llasey began shooting.
One men, Chris llheinhardt, was
mortally wounded, and four oth
ers more or less seriously. John
Phillips was shot in the lower
back after he had started lo run
away.
In March, 1009, Phillips,
brought an action against the
Copper River and Northwestern
for $25,000 because of his injur
ies. Until that lime it had seem
ed doubtful whether the company
could bo held for Hasey's acts.
Hasey was indicted by the grand
jury at Valde/. in January, 1008,
for murder in I bo second degree
i for causing the death of Ilein
hardt, and in four eases for as
sault with intent lo kill for
wounding the olherf our men. A
change of venue was taken to Ju
neau on account of prejudice at
Valde/. against Hasey. He was
tried on fin* murder charge and
acquitted at Juneau in the spring
of 1908. #A year later he was
tried al Juneau for wounding
John Phillips and convicted and
sentenced to 18 months in the
penitentiary al McNeil's island,
which he finally served.

After long delay Iho Phillips

a verdict for 915,000. Judge Gush
man held I he amount too large
and ordered a new I rial unless I lie

arrcpl a reduclion to 910,000.
They promptly arrpplcd, being

The Copper River and North
western appealed lo I he cireuil
court of appeals and the case was
argued at San Francisco May 15,
1911* before Circuit. Judges Gil
bert and Morrow pud District
Judge ilanford. The long delay in
rendering a decision is unusual.
In the trial of the case at Sew
ard Phillips was represented by
E. E. Ritchie and L. V. Ray, and
tho Copper River and Northwest
ern by Brown & Lyons. In the
appellate court the case was ar
gued for the company by Mr. San
ders, of Bogle, Merritt & Bogle,
of Seattle, and for Phillips by E.
E. Ritchie and William A. Barn
hil| of San Francisco, formerly
ansistant district attorney at Ju
neau.
John Phillips has been living
at Seward for the „ past throe
years. He is unable to perform
hard labor and supports himself
by small jobs and fishing. He is
industrious and sober and well
liked by all acquaintances. By
birth he is a Russian Pole, the
name he carries here having been
anglicized from Ivan Philippo. He
was 34 years old when shot and
could speak very little English.
