INDIANS INJURED Protest Against Methods of White Men in Alaska. SEATTLE, Oct. 7. White men In Alas ka are injuring the Indians! materially by their methods of hunting. Such is tiie conclusion of Sebastian Dlbovltch, super intendent of the missions for the Greek Catholic Church at Skagwa'y, who has Just returned home from a three months Inspection trip in Alaska, In speakins of the matter, he said: "The white hunters are very anxious to get the skins they sell without injury from knife wounds and bullet holes, and to do this they have scattered poisons at the rookeries where seals congregate and through the wood that are fre quented by wild game. This is in direct violation of the law, but there are not enough officers to enforce the statute properly. "Of course the Indians themselves will not touch dead animals, but their dogs upon whom they depend a great deal, do EW PLAYS eat the fallen carcasses; are potsonid and die off. This is the flrst great loss against which the Indians protest Another feature is that the Indians re quire the food from the animals to sfs tain life, and are deprived by the" deprej dations of whites from receiving If, , ' ST.

THE HISTORY OF THE CASE Circuit Court oi Appeals Grants a New TriaL The Circuit Court of Appeals for th Ninth circuit .yesterday reversed the de cision of the United States Circuit Court ; for the District of Oregon In an action brought by T. J. Brown and B. W. Mad dox against the Oregon King Mining Company to recover possession of the Oregon King mining claim. Although n- details of the decision havo been de ceived in Portland, this probably marks the termination of one of the hardest fought mining contests In the history of the state. The mine in Question Is located In Trout Creek mining district, in Crook County., Ore., and is considered to be a very valuable property. The mine was first discovered in 1897 by T. J. Brown, who at that time attempted to locate a claim on the; ground. During the trial of the action, It was conceded by the plaintiffs that they claimed nothing, however, under this location. Brown having abandoned the claim, a location was made on Juno 21, 1898, by Q. M. Wilson, under whom the Oregon King Mining Company claim. 'Wilson's loca tion was called the Silver King mining claim. A DOUBLE LOCATION. Afterwards and on January 31, 1899, T. J. Brown and Columbus Friend locat ed what they called the St Elmo min ing claim, covering practically tb same ground. The Oregon King Mining Com pany having expended about 330,000 in de velopment work, applied for a patent on the mine. Thereupon . Brown and Friend adversed them and brought this action to recovesv. possession of the property. The main contention of the plaintiffs was that the location made by Wilson was void for the reason that it did not -comply with the requirements of the laws of the United States, in that the claim was not so marked upon tne ground that Its boundaries could be -readily traced. The case was twic tried in th lower court The verdict In tne first trial was against the Oregon King Mining Com pany, but was set aside. The verdict of the jury in the second trial having been again in favor of Brown and Maddox,' the Oregon King Mining Company ap pealed from the Judgment whloh Is now reversed and the case remanded far a new trial. Brown and Maddox were represented by Albert Abraham and John M. Oearln, while the Oregon King Mining Company was represented by W. "W. Cotton. W. D. Fenton, Ralph E. Moody and W. H. Wil son, of The Dalles. NEW PRESBYTERY OFFICERS. New officers were elected at th semi annual convention of the Portland Pres bytery, which was held last night follows: Moderator, Rev. Jerome R.
