William Williams will not be hanged July
IS for the murder of Lawrence SchneubeI
last November. He perfected an appeal
yesterday and the case will go TO the su-

murder in the first degree for killing
SChneubel because he shouted for Bryan.
The crime of which Williams was con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged July Is
was a peculiarly atrocious one. Schneubel
was slightly under the influence of liquor
one afternoon a couple of days after the
November election. Schneubel was a Bry-
an man. and as he walked along East
Eighteenth street, with a companion, he
shouted: "Hurrah for Bryan This an

guilty after being out twenty minutes.

NV information" said the director of
the mint, lis that the people have been
pouring into the Yukon district for some
lime. both on sledses and in boats. The
mining season there is just beginning. for
the men can work only in the summer. So
far the only mining done on the Yukon is
placer mining. The gold has TO be washed
out of the river bed and the land along the
streams. The soil is frozen the greater
part Of the year. and the only time that
gold washing can be done is in the hot
months Of the summer. In the winter the
men dig up the frozen earth and lay it in
piles on the banks of the rivers. so that
they can work the more quickly when the
summer comes. It is very hard work. but
you know men will do anything to get
gold"
You say. Mr.. Preston. that this is all
