Peters surrendered to police shortly after the fight.

Quieted mining claim sells for seven and a half thousand
A quarter interest in a Lodermining claim tied to the Betsy Dah in Meaderville changed hands yesterday for 7500 dollars. John P. Reins, who had recently had the title quieted in his favor by the secretary of the interior, deeded the quarter to his nephew Homer H. Rumansa, who then negotiated with David Gamer of Tacoma for transfer. Pending final title decision prevented a formal sale at that time. The claim is valuable for both mining and real estate purposes.
