AJuRoR FAlNTED.:
Couldn't Stand the Details of the McCloud
Murder Trial.

Greenfield, Mass, July 2O.-The second
day of the trial of John O'Neil for the
murder of Mrs. Hattie Z. McCloud at
Shelbourne, January 8, opened with the
address of District Attorney Hammond,
who outlined the case for the common
wealth.
In beginning, the district attorney stat
ed that the evidence would be necessarily
circumstantial. He then traced the
movements of Mrs. McCloud on the night
of the murder and stated that the prose-
cution would show that the woman died
from strangulation, caused by pressure
upon the throat SO great that the traohea
was ruptured; that the body was violated
that John O'Neil had been heard to ex-
press lustful intentions; that he had dis
appeared at the same time the woman
did; that he reappeared soon after the
time at which she died; that he had $40
bill, a 80 and a silver half dollar and So
in change which was exactly the sum
the woman had in her satchel.
d. W. Hyde, q civil engineer, testified
relative to "a map of the scene which he
had made. s-.
John Peters, Mr.. Crittenden's hired
man, then gave the story of finding the
body in the woods andsfgoing after the
doctor.
DR.. J. D. Canedy, medical examiner
of Shelburne, who followed Peters, told
of the condition of the body when found.
Four imprints on the left side of the
neck and one on the right looked like
finger points.
The witness then began is evidence
concerning the violation of the body
when juror Weatherhead tainted. He
was removed from the court room and Dr.
Canedy attended him. A recess was de-
clared pending his recovery.
just after recess, as O'Neil was being
taken to the cab on his way to lunch, the
prisoners mother created a pathetic
scene by attempting to force her way
through the guard in an endeavor to
reach her son. When she was prevented
and kept away from him, she tainted and
the other members of O'Neils family wept
profusely and were escorted away from
the scene.
Several witnesses were examined dur.
ing the afternoon, who described the con-
dition of the body when found and pre-
pared for burial. W. f. Ball of Shell
burne Falls, brother-in-law of Mrs Nc
Cloud, under cross-examination, he ad-
mitted that his sister-in-law had been
subject to fainting spells, and had had

Alaska Il No Garden Plot and the Yukon
No Mountain Brook.

Chicago, July 20.-P. B. Weare, vice
president of the North American Trading
company. is receiving hundreds of letters
asking for information regarding Alaskan
gold fields. He says:
"The boats which sail from Seattle this
month are full-eyery passage taken.
That means that any one who wants to
go to the Klondyke must wait for the
August boat and the journey, 1000 miles,
people talk about as if it was walking
across the street. They don't realize
what Alaska is; what the Yukon Is.
They will need map to convince them
of the truth that the country of the
Yukon and it's tributaries in Alaska and
British America is as large as the whole
United States east of the Mississippi
fore they reach the Behring sea and the
mouth of the Yukon; that by the time
they strike the Yukon the Alaskan Arctic
winter will be upon them. By September
rs, the weather settles and the Yukon
river is frozen solid until next May.

to Seattle is $50 and from Seattle to the
remembered, that the Klondyke country
is in British dominion and will be gov
erned accordingly"

Victoria, B. c., July 20.-The city is
full of prospective miners waiting for
steamers to take them north. Scores of
men are throwing up good positions in
order to seek their fortunes in the
Klondyke fields. John Percy, whole
sale merchant, has offered to pay the do
minion government $50, 900 per annum
for period of five or 10 years for the
privilege of collecting duty on goods 60
ing into the Canadian section Of the
as yet vouchsafed answer, but it is be-
lieved that the custom officers will be
sent up there to collect the duty on Ame-
rican goods which are being taken into
the territory.
To Civilize Alaska.
Washington, July 20 -Commissioner
Hermann of the general land office, stated
today that he will recommend the estab-
lishlnent of two land districts In Western
Alaska, the two officers to be placed on
the Yukon river or its tributaries, in an
ticipation of great number of conten-
tions over mineral lands locations in va
rious sections where the gold discoveries
have been made. He says that as that
region is practically without law, espec-
tally as to the settlement of contests, the
local land offices will be of infinite value
to the land interests and indirectly to
the preservation of law and order The
officers, it is probable, will be located at
Circle City and Dawson City. The gen.
eral land Office is in hourly expectation
of petitions and requests for some such
action.

Instructions Relating to Bond Aided
Roads.

Washington, July 20.-Secretary Bliss
has issued instructions to the general
land Office which in substance limit the
right of bond-aided railroads
to patents for those lands sold by the
company to bona fide purchasers, prior
to the date of default by such company
on the payment of their bonds or interest
thereon.
These instructions, the first formal ex-
preston of the administration on the SUBJ
ject, outline the policy to be pursued
toward the roads and the innocent pur-
ehasers from them and the significant
change is in the prior to date of de-
fault restriction. The instructions re-
woke, and are substituted for, previous
ones issued under date of November IS
and December II, 1896; June Il and De-
cember 26, 1896; and January 2, January
