Judge Kimball imposed a sentence of
death in a case this morning. and the exc
cution will take place In the county in the
vicinity of Twining City. There was no
particular hour fixed for the execution, nor
is there any particular person to officate.
No rope will be used in this execution. so
that there will be no danger of mishap
resulting from the use of an old rope and
death will result not from strangulation,
but from hemorrhage, following the inflic-
ton of a pistol-shot wound. The victim of
the man who is to officiate Is a canine
owned by Otto Burkholtz. a resident of
Twining City. The animal in question bit
one boy and attempted to treat another boy
the same way. but this boy managed to run
and get out Of the animals way.
In addition to sentencing the dog to death,
Judge kimball fined the owner SO, which
he had to pay.

SOFT COAL WANTED.
The Eject of the Strike Felt In This
City.

The Eject of the Strike Felt In This
City.
Washington Is suffering from a scarcity
OF soft coal. 1t is the greatest famine of
Its kind which has ever visited the city.
This statement Is made on the authority
OF the coal people and steamboat men at
the river front. All the steamer compa nies
with which The Star man communicated
are running their craft with hari coal Mr..
George p. Johnson, agent Of the Washing
ton Steamboat Company, told the reporter
this morning that the conditions for the
past month had been bad, that they
had steadily grown WORSE and that the
prospect continued dark. He stated that
because Of the famine the T. v. Arrow
smith and the Wakefield hal been burning
hard coal, and II the ferry boats were not
already burning 1t 1t was but the question
OF a few hours when they would have to
come to this. He stated that the firemen
and engineers were discontented because
of the additional excrtion demanded of
them, and speed In steamb batting was niece 3
sary to profits at This season, when garden
truck and perishable commodities are COM
ing into market. The ferry dock had very
little soft coal on II, and this pile was being
sparingly used, but was fast dwndling not
withstanding. The Samuel j. Pentz is
working on hard coal, but yesterday Capt.
E. s. Randall procured a small lot of the
soft article from Stephenson Bros. for use
In the furnaces OF the regular river packet

The Norfolk and Washington propeller,
are running with soft coal. but the reason
Of this Is that that company mas q Yearly

pany, and receives its fuel at Norfolk
Mr.. Stephenson of the coal firm Of Ste
phenson Bros, which firm furnishes a ma
jority Of the tons of bitr,ninous coal along
the water front, said that he had but
enough on hand to furnish regular GUS
toners in small lots, AMI this vas now
about used up. We had received notice
from the Consolidation Coal Company that

To-Day and tina. coal would continue to
come In from that time onward. How true
this prophecy is cannot now be told

scot with 400 tons If Ice to the Ameri-
can Ice Company. Is DISCHARGED and await
ing an opportunity 70 coal for the return
trip. The four-master Young Brothers, from
the Kennebec, which brought down but
about 1000 tons to the Great Falls Ice
Company because of low water in the Ken
nebec, left last night for the ice fields of
the north direct without a return freight
This is unprecedented. When ice is brought
to Washington the freight is basel upon
taking coal away. The Bertha Dean and
four other big ocean schooners are lying
at the Washington docks in midstream
waiting for a return cargo Much dissatis-
faction Is expressed with the situation.
