JOSEPH LADUE ARRIVES IN DAWSON.
The Founder of the Town Meets With a Hearty Welcome.
The Holdings of the Ladue Company Will be Increased and Mining
Properties Developed Changes in Officers.
Mr. Joseph Ladue, well known as the founder of Dawson, arrived on
Saturday last on the steamer Rideout. Mr. Ladue came from New York in
company with Mr. Botsford, the secretary and treasurer of the company.
The latter gentleman came on to Dawson immediately and Mr. Ladue
remained at St. Michaels awaiting the arrival of freight from below.
Since Mr. Ladue's arrival nearly all the old timers in Dawson have
called to pay their respects to the original founder of the town. Among
them were a number of Indians, many of whom Mr. Ladue numbers among his

GEORGE BENNINGTON COMMITS SUICIDE.
St. Michaels, August 3, 1898.
Editor Nugget:
Dear Sir.--George Bennington committed suicide here near the Hotel Fort
Get There on last Saturday, August 8th, by shooting himself with a gun
through the head, the ball entering through the mouth. The military
authorities took charge of the remains and a jury was empanelled which
rendered a verdict of suicide. He was first mate of the river steamer
Klondike, and held similar positions on the Mississippi before coming
here. The deceased was about 35 years old and leaves no family as far as
is known. No cause is known as to why he took his life. The body was
interred at St. Michaels.
Yours truly,
J. H. James

AN HONEST MAN.
E. J. McCormick, proprietor of the Portland restaurant lost a roll of
bills yesterday containing $80, which was subsequently picked up by his
neighbor and competitor, Mr. Drayer, and returned to its owner. Honesty
of this character is in these degenerate days refreshing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POLICE COURT ITEMS.
For being "D & D" Ed Posey (colored) paid the sum of $10 and costs.
Four common drunks contributed their mite to the funds to escape
contributing their might.
J. Kosopski assaulted Mr. Wilson, whose injured feelings were much
elated by seeing his assailant dig up $20 and costs.
E. Piquet imbibed in much of the exhilarating "hooteh," so that his
noise added to his offense and "D & D" cost him $15 and costs.
Four firms were fined $2 and costs for maintaining a nuisance. The small
fine acted as well as a larger one in hurrying up the clearing of their
premises.
The case against J. Borland for the theft of a tent was dismissed. The
tent in question was left at Borland's stand to sell, and turned up
missing. The evidence was that the tent was left at the owner's risk.
C.A. Wilde, is the man who took an armload of cutlery from the Rock
Island and sold it. His friends name was Atkinson and when the dealer
demanded a receipt from the thief before he would accept the cutlery,
wilde signed Atkinson's name to it. Wilde was sentenced to six months if
caught in the country after September 1st. Atkinson gets one month.
The new jail is nearing completion and is ready for occupancy at almost
any time, but for one thing - there are no bolts, hinges, locks or
windows in town suitable, in the smallest degree - for the purposes
needed. The police doctor is anxious for the completion of the new
quarters, for in the crowded state of the old jail it is impossible to
maintain sanitary conditions. Six of the 21 cells are lined with steel
between a double walls of wood and will be the murderers' cells. A cage
for drunks has been put in, with a capacity of upwards of eight. There
is ample room in the jail, outside of the cells, for tables, etc., for
working prisoners.
