SCRAP OF HISTORY
TELLS ITS STORY
What Was Done to rave an
Old Couple From Abject
One of |In* most celebrated
cases in tfoullioaslern Alaska
was lli|> ease of Ole Line's ad
ministrator vs. Alaska Troadwell
(•(»!«! Mining Co.
In 11103 ()li» Line, ;i young
Scandinavian miner, was killed
while sinking iu the main shuit
of I In- Treadwell mine; immedi
ately ihc company rushed into
court and had one of ils hench
ini.'u appointed administrator,
without even notifying Lingo's
father or mother that, the boy
had heen killed.
II seems thai in case of the
dealh of a person through the
negligence of another, the only
person who can sue for dam
ages is I he adminisl rator of the
deceased, and the company's ob
ject in having lln-ir own man ap
pointed administrator was in
keep suit from heing brought un
til any suit would l»r outlawed.
J.inge's father learned of the
Iiii>"s death through a friend and
also of tin* cojupaiiN*s scheme lo
a\oid liahilily. and In- solicited
I the professional aid of It. W.
j.Jeuuin^s. .leiiuinps demanded o|
Ihi' administrator that lie hrin^
i suit for the •>li| peoph*. 'l'llis Ihc
admini>trator refu.-ed to do, sax
ling that Ihe company was not
■ liable. .Jennings procured an or
! der removing I lie administrator
[and bad an ndniini<| rator ap
| pointed who would brinj: suit,
.lenninps then brought suit for
! Ihc new adminislralor for s|u._
j (Mill, Ihe highest sum allowed by
the law in case of death. On the
| lirsl trial the jury disagreed af
ter being out for iM hours. On
the second trial a verdict for I <•._
| nun was returned, but the trial
jml'rie refused to enter judgment,
on a technicality.

Mi*. Jennings appealed In Mm*
eoiirl ill Sail Francisco ami pro
cured an order commanding the
trial J in |^r«* In enter tin- judgment.
Then III®* company «ii»|•<>a 1 «*f 1 In

• lefealeil. Finaly. after exhaust
ing every elV«»ri to escape pay
inenl, the company liail to come
1 hough. The case was begun
early ju 11)05 ami I he money was
not paid until 1010.
The money received by the
father ami mother of Ibis poor
bov lifted them from abject pov
erty to comfort. Jennings not
only fought the case for them
through all of its phases, but al
so loaned I hem I he money to pay
costs as the case dragg.'d along.
Mr. .Jennings lias been the con
sistent. friend and sympathizer of
the laboring man and has com
pelled the Treadwell company to
pay large sums iu damages to
I heir employes. Naturally, the
company does not love him much,
and is bending heaven ami earth
to defeat him.
Hoberl \V. Jennings is now a
candidate Tor delegate from Alas
ka. The laboring men can elect
him; will they do it. or will they
desert him now ami throw away
their votes on a Socialist, or on
llarrais, who was brought oul by
Shackleford, the attorney for the
Treadwell ?
Jenning- had a strong labor
plank put into Hie Democratic
platform: lie stands for the 8
liour law, mine inspection and ab
olition of the fellow servant rule.
If the laboring men want to know
how union labor regards him, let
(hem write to the Douglas local

who has ever lived in Juneau or
