fylvostor Howell. 71 years of age,
a i.'sident of the North since 1897,
uru. formerly ore of the most promi
nent mining op^atins in Alassi-died
vec.'iitl yin Fairbanks. He had been
id for some time with paralysis and
his death was due to that ai ment.
IL was among the early stamp -devs
to .he Klondike, where he engaged in
the mining industry until soon after
gold was struck in the Fairbanks dis
trict. On going to that sec t on he
. ec ne a most successful operator.
On at least two occasions he accumu
lated considerable fortunes. He put
his profits bac kinto the ground,
however, and in late years had sus
tained considerable lpssses.
Further indication that the judicial
headquarters of he Third district may
be npved from Valdez to Seward or
some- other tows- cgpie through a wire
and letter from He Values Chamber
of Cbdmmero he Cordova body,
in which support in keeping: the court
headquarter sin its present locaion
was asked, a recent, issue of the Cor
dova Times says.
Alt'hough the ffrst due in any such
move on the nart oT the Department
of Justice was discovered when the
Cordova Times recently interviewed
j Mr. Kehoe, new United States attor
ney for the division, and found he
was assigned to Seward instead of
Valdez, it is certain that some such
action is., not. far off.
Mr. kenoe’s instructions to esab
!ish himself at Seward indicates this,
and a response by Delegate Dimond
in a wire from the Valdez Chamber
of Commerce, in which he urged all
I arguments for retaining the court
I house at Valdez be rushed-fo W*sh
i ficials are contemplating a change in
iftgton, adds to the suspicion that of
the near future.

For the kilning of a white man; an
Indian on trial, in the United States
court at Juneau saved his life re
: oentiy by pleading the “unwritten
law.” He supported his-defense with
the offered testimony of his native
wife, who admitted intimacies with
with the victim of her husband’s
bullet.
While the jurors,, all white ,did' not
accept the plea unreservedly with a
verdict oc acquittal, liberating the ac
cused, still they did not reject it en
tirely with a judgment of. conviction
involving the death penalty. They
compromised on manslaughter, which
carried imprisonment.
The court ruled that the testimony
of the Indian woman relative to her
infidelity, o the theory perhaps that
the ‘‘unwritten law” is not law and
that no testimony can make it other
wise.
Th$ Indian. convicted of' man
slaughter. is Richard Albert. The
-slain white man was Samuel Hen
ninger. The homicide was committed
last January at Italia River, near
!•’ Y akutat.
