The steamer Alki, from Alaska.
brought news of considerable excitement
at Juneau as result Of decision by
the government that will result in tho
loss OF great many homes and consid.
cradle property in the best part of the
city. The decision referred to is one that
has just been rendered by Secretary of
the Interior Francis, and it gives TO
Mrs. Goldstein a little over 20 acres of
land in the town Of Juneau, OH which
her husband filed in her name as a min

town, filed mineral claim in what was
afterward the best property in the place.
Not much was thought of the matter at
that time.

that part of the town site was being
claimed for mineral purposes.
The citizens finally decided to call a
public meeting to discuss the matter. So
much feeling was worked up over the
matter that 1t was seriously proposed to
either hang Goldstein or throw him in
the bay on the ground that he was a
public enemy. The case was finally
taken into the general land office. under
the title of Goldstein versus the town
site OF Juneau, and it was there decided
III favor of the town site.
1t was then carried to the supreme
court, and that body at once referred il
to the interior department, which has
now decided that the claim of Goldstein

Frankfort KY. Dec. 9.-The court Of

Jackson.
Jackson and Walling had both been
convicted of the murder of Pearl Bry-
an. whose headless body was found
near Covington, Ky, and created such
a sensation.
The opinion of the court of appeals
covers also the appeal Of the attorneys
for Alonzo Walling. who must die. The
grounds for appeal were that the judge
erred in the instructing: the sheriff
erred in not allowing admission except
by ticket and that the evidence was
insufficient. Governor Bradley must
now fix the date of execution.

The opinion was prepared by Judge
Hazelrigg. 1t now devolves on Gov

FAST RACING YESTERDAY.
The Three -Year-0ld PAGER Agitato Goes
Mile in 2.O9.
Ottinger Breaks the Coast and Track
Trotting Record by Making
a Mile in 2:1O 1.2.

There We're probably 5000 people al
the park yesterday to witness the
worlds record breaking accomplished
by the three-year- PAGER Agitato
and the coast and track trotting record
! breaking by Ottinger.
The track was in superb condition
better probably than ever before fol
harness horses, for which Superintend-
ent j. e. Terry deserves much credit
All the conditions were favorable for
fast time. and the spectators were moi
disappointed.
In the first race, for trotters OF the
2:10 class, Winship & Keating's horse
Ottinger made the fastest three heats
ever trotted in a race in this State
2:11, 2:11 and 2:101a. The time of the
last heat is the coast record in a race
Other horses have done the mile little
faster on kite shaped tracks and
against time with runners to aid them,
but Ottinger yesterday beat all former
records in an actual race.
A remarkable thing about Ottinger is
the fact that he is a dual-gaited horse
and the fastest of that class in the
world. Last year he went around the
circuit as a PAGER, and his record was
somewhere about 2:1O. The year pre-
ceding he was a trotter, and now he
is back again at his original gait He
would have lowered his time yesterday
If driven to it
Then along came the three-year- old
PAGER Agitato-owned by the same
firm and also driven by Keating-and
broke the worlds mile record for one
Of his age in a race. He won the first
heat handily in 200 and could proba-
bly, have done it a second better if
necessary. The official time announced
was 2:O9M, which leaves the young
whirlwind in the 2:10 class.
1t was a favorite's day throughout.
but as the betting and interest CEN
tered in the other horses there was no
lack of excitement.
Mamie Griffin won the 2:20 pace in
PA, 2:16h and Pisa. and Plunkett
the PAGER, easily beat w. A. Terrill the
San Francisco bicycle rider. This, how
ever, was a foregone conclusion, for
while the track was fast for horses ii
was slow for bicycle, and Plunkett
is a fast horse. TeTrill clung to the
sulky until half way between the half
mile and three quarters, when he be-
gan to fall behind, and finished some
eighty yards behind the horse in 2:17
Terrill felt very much mortified over
the result, for it was known that the
large attendance was chiefly due to the
fact that he was to ride against a very
fast horse. A coachload of people came
from Folsom alone to see the race The
truth is, the track was not fit for BIZ
cycle race, but this could not be helped
The directors of the society could not
be expected to spoil the track for one
short event, and Terrill did the best
possible under such adverse circum-
stances
