The mandate of the supreme court In
the case of Reld, Murdock & Co. vs.
the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Com-
pany has been received. It reverses
' the decision of the lower court and or
! dera the case remanded back for a new
- trial. The case-Is an Interesting one
and grew out of the fact that a broker
:who handled salmon for the Alaska.
Fishermen's Packing Company made a
contract with Rdd, Murdock & Co. for
the sale of Puget sound sockeye sal
mon. The contract was subject to con
firmation by the local company, which
refused to confirm, 'it agreed, how
ever, to submit samples of red Alaska,
which could be accepted m rejected at
the pleasure of Reld, Murdock & Co.,
the price, if accepted, to be $1 per
.dozen. In the event of rejection the
matter was to be considered as settled.
Samples of Alaska reds were submitted
accordingly, whereupon Reld, Murdock
ft Co. asked for fancy Puget sound
" sockeye fish. ' The home company did
; not (pack this variety, never agreed to
deliver them, and suit was brought to
recover the difference between the maf:
ket price of the two grades of salmon,
A consignment of salmon from the
Alaska Fishermen was attached by
Ueld, Murdock & Co. in Chicago, but
bonds were furnished and the goods re
leased. Suit'was then brought In the
Illinois courts, and resulted In a vic
tory for the Astoria corporation. Then
Reld, Murdock & Co. brought suit here,
with the same result. The mandate of
. the supreme court now opens up the
whole matter, and the case will prob
ably be tried at the next term of court.

It was with a feeling of considerable
satisfaction that the young man rose
on the morning of his birthday and be

law relating to contempt of court in Ire
land and was soon afterward sentenced
to three months' imprisonment for that
offense. Mr. McHugh's bill was sent to
him in proof form.while he was, under
going his sentence and revised In Kil

Two convicts were executed at the
Ichlgaya prison in Japan, and one of
them as he ascended the guillotine re
marked that he had built it himself
while serving a sentence for- larceny
two years before.
A few years ago story came from

of a license, but slipped and was
