THE CLARK MURDER
The Defendant Held to Appear for
Trial

ST. HELENA, Cal. Jan. 2S.-The at
tendance OF spectators at the Clark
murder examination was not half so
large as yesterday, the farmer element
being conspicuously absent. Nothing
sensational was developed in the testi-
mony today.
George BaX, son-in-law of the mur-
dered man, who swore out the warrant
for the prisoners arrest, knew nothing
positive, except that he thought he
heard the pistol shot but believed that
George Clark was the murderer Dr.
Osborne testified as to the nature of
William Clarlis wounds and told how
he had found George Clark in bed upon
going to his room Immediately after
wards. Marshal Johnson and Constable
Spur repeated the testimony given at
the coroner's inquest. Judge Chinn then
held Clark to answer in the superior
court for the murder of his brother,
dismissing the motion of Attorney
Henry Hogan for the defense for a dis
missal of the case on the ground that the
district attorney had not adduced suf-
ficient proof to hold the prisoner Clark
was driven to Napa and lodged in the
Jail.

CUBA LIBRE
Small Audience Attended the Benefit.
Addresses and Music

Comparatively few people responded
last evening to the call for Cuba's aid
and the audience in Hazards pavilion
was too small to he very encouraging to
the supporters of the cause.
In the intermission after Professor
Gleason had had his innings. General
Johnstone Jones, with few graceful re-
marks upon Captain Mahoneys prowess
in the battlefield, and the earnestness
With which he was conducting a plat
form campaign through the United
States presented the young soldier.
Captain Mahouey. in a short but
forceful address, appealed to the men
and women who are enjoying the peace
and freedom of living under the stars
and stripes. that they should raise their
voice and send resolutions to congress
urging that body to aid Cuba in her he
roc struggles for freedom.
The speaker quoted some very con-
vincing statistics. and told of some very
realistic and thrilling scenes he had wit
messed both before and during the war.
over his head was draped the Cuban
flag, and behind him on the stage sat
the officers of the local Cuban league.
He was frequently interrupted with ap-
plause. The Seventh Regiment band
was in attendance and played several
lumbers with its customary spirit.

cago. George w. Gould. J. w. Mackay
and other capitalists, made strong ef-
fort to get contract for the building of
the all-Canadian route to the Yukon.
Kersey was in the city for several days
endeavoring to secure the contract, and
has gone away greatly disappointed.
Mackenzie and Mann of Toronto, who
secured the contract, will receive from
the Dominion government $4,000 acres
of land per mile in the district of the
sixtieth parallel of latitude and west of
the Mackenzie and Laird rivers.
In addition to this land grant from the
Dominion government the contractors
will receive 5000 acres a mile from the
British Columbian government.
The contractors undertake to have the
railroad from Glemora to Teslin Lake. a
distance of about $50 miles. completed
by September 1st next. When the rail-
road is built the time between Vancou-
yer and Dawson will be reduced to sew
en- days. There will be a sea trip of 600
miles, taking nearly two days, river
trip up the Stickeen of one and half
days, then $50 miles by rail to Teslin
Lake and the remainder of the time will
be occupied in crossing the lake into
the Yukon and down to Dawson City.

Miss Whites Delightful Second Re.

Franz Schubert and his "Mullerin
Cyklus" was the subject which Miss
Villa Whitney White used ather second

intelligently manifested.
