SAN JOSE. CAL, Oct. 14-The selecting
of jury TO Try Dan butcher for the al
legged murder of George NJ. Schofield was
completed this afternoon, the following

Philip Dick, Edwin Wilson, George E
Chase, w. ID. Whitehead, H. J. Bennett,
p. r. May, Frank McHiernan, w. A. E.
Rhodes, George w. Lee, T. Hutchins
and John Padley.
After the attorneys for the prosecution
and defense announced themselves as con-
tent the indictment charging butcher
with murder was read, and the plea of the
accused of mot guilty" was entered. At
torney Scheller, tor the defense, asked
that Mrs. Schoheld, charged Jointly with
butcher and one of the witnesses in the
case be brought into the courtroom.
Judge Lorigan said he saw no reason whv
Mrs. Schoheid should be excluded.
District Attorney Harrington then asked
that all witnesses be excluded from the
courtroom, and the granting OF this re-
quest solved the question rs to the pro-
priety OF Mrs. Schoheld's presence, which
has been under debate several times.
Sheriff Lyndon was the first witness
called to the stand. He began his te.ti-
mony by giving the details of receiying o
notice OF the murder and of going to the
Schofield ranch on the morning of the
alleged crime. Before going into de-
scription of what he saw and heard the
court adjourned until tomorrow morning.

LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. 1.-THE racing
at the Kentucky TrottiHg-hor Breeders
Association track to-day was unusually
spirited. The race for 2:23 trotters was a
long-drawn-out contest, three horses get
ting two heats apiece before it was de-
cided. In the fifth heat the judges thought
tney saw something of fraud ana decided
ali bets off on the heat. Alves won the
sixth heat by a head, and before the
seventh and last heat McHeury was nut
up behind Alves and Hutchins behind
Red Bee and the three were sent off TO a
good start.
This was the most exciting heat of the
whole OF the meeting. Alves led off by a
head from Caracalla. with Red Bee two
lengths back. When the stretch was
reached all three closed up and in a whip-
ping finish passed under the wir- in what
looked to be n dead heat between the
three. The judges decided that Caracalla
had won ana placed Alves second.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. a. -
In view of the reports OF the ex-
pected founding of new city in
Alaska, to be known as Weare, on the
YUKON River, between the boundary line
of British Columbia and ST. Michael
with the design of making it the capital
of I proposed new Territory, it may be
possible that the In terror Department may
find it necessary to locate the new land
Office there, instead of at Circle City,
where it was originally contemplated.
Official reports have reached here that
Circle City. until recently practically the
only settlement on the Yukon River, has
been virtually abandoned.
w. L. Diston of Illinois, recently ap-
pointed Survey General of Alaska, has
telegraphed the Interior Department tha
lie is now IN route for Sitka. The de-
pariment has been notified OF the pres

Register and Receiver of the land office,
lately established at that place. Here
after al. surveys of mineral lands in
Alaska, including the Yukon and all other

SuLsrdnS arrest NotC Becoming Almost
Daily Occurrence.
BOSTON, MASS, Oct. I4-Poor John L.
was arrested again to day. He is getting
used to il, as it is almost q daily occur
renee. This time, however, il is really a
pretty serious matter, and the big one is
charged vita a choice cluster of offenses,
the damages claimed aggregating nearly
$40, ,O00 Writs of arrest in suits for am
ages wers served upon the ex-champion
in Providence TO-DAY before he had fairly
recovered from Yesterdays affair as re-
ported in to-day's CALL.
The claimant, Frank V. Dunn, his for
meT friend and manager, asserts that the
com bination show, hired a new manager
and not only took ali he posse ssed but
assaulted him as well. Poor d nm was
pretty well done up Sullivan's alleged
assault was of novel character He
didn't hit him with Que of those might w
hsts. Ii he had these suits would never
have been brought, Instead he used q
| human missile. lie picked up his valet
and hurled the young man through the
air fairly into his managers face telling
him TO the earth in a heap
The damages in the assault case are
placed at $1,000 and in the theatrical case
al $500. The balance of the suits, aggre-
eating $96OO, are for alleged debt. Viii
liam Sherwood, the present manager Tor
Sullivan, was also made defendant in q
suit brought by Dunn.
The trouble arose in Montreal, where
the Sullivan combination PLAYED last
week. Sullivan's friends came 20 his
rescue and stand ready to furnish all the
bail required. The mem bers of the aggre-
CATION are in quandary and are fearful
OF disastrous outbreak upon the part OF
sullivan at any moment. With two
| managers quarreling over the possession
of the company and the fighter holding
the fort, 1t is an interesting situation, and
the house is always crowded with people
who want 10 see q fight instead of a show.
