It has been talked by some Of our

has not heretofore been a paying in

into his sitting room, sat down in a
chair and fired bullet into his own
brain, dying Immediately. The whole
awful affair had been deliberately
planned. Young had written two let

was going to do, that he was entirely
responsible for the crime and direct

thorities and his relatives in Blue

MARTIAL LAW IN ALASKA.
Federal Government Determined to
Prevent LayvIessness.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20-A special from
Washington says: President McKin-
ley will issue an order placing large
district in Alaska, of which ST. Mich
aels' will be the center, under the con-
troll of the military arm of the govern
ment. By this action the authorities
believe that the laWlessness feared as
a result of the rush of the gold seek
ers to the great Northwest territory
will be suppressed. The proposed
military district will be about 100
miles square. The determination to
issue the order was arrived at, it is
said, at a cabinet meeting. While no
official reports of anything but
peaceful condition have reached the
department, private communications
from responsible parties have con-
WINGED the authorities that something
more was necessary than civilian rule.
The authorities say that offenses COM
mitted within the boundaries Of the
district to be described by the presi-
dent in his order, will subject those
responsible to arrest by the military
and prosecution by civilian authori-
ties before whom they will be brought.
