DRIFTED UPON 4 SANDBAR
MAN EVIDENTLY FELL FROM
 HIS RAFT.
Fate Of J. T. Wilson, the Slayer of Fuller, for Whose Apprehen- sion Large Reward Had
 Been Offered.
BY HAL HOFFMAN.
Special Correspondence of The Call.

WRANGEL, Nov. (via Seattle Nov. O.-There arrived here last evening a party of prospectors in a large canoe. On a sandbar of the Stickeen, just be- low the Devils Elbow, they had picked up the body of a man, who had evil dently been thrown from his raft and drowned. The body was taken back to Glenora and there identified as that of J. T. Wilson, the murderer of a miner named Fuller in the Omenica country.
 Wilson was working for the Hudson Bay Company at Stewart Lake at the time he deliberately shot Fuller, over two months ago, and since then there has been a heavy reward offered for his capture, and the police have been hunting for him everywhere. He came into Glenora over the Ashcroft trail, and, having purchased at the Hudson Bay store a mackinaW coat and some provisions, he made a raft and started down the Stickeen. His remains were identified by the mackinaw coat and a diamond and ruby stud that he wore.
 George Pritchard, one of the oldest and best-known pioneers of this part of the world, died two days ago at Glenora, where he had resided since the Cassiar excitement twenty years ago. He was rich, but was not known to have had any relatives. It Is said that he left will giving all he died pos. sessed of to chum of his in the early days, Duncan McKinnon, the pioneer merchant of this place. The fortune is variously estimated from S1S,000 to S80 000

DECIDES 4 SKAGUAY
 CONDEMNATION SUIT

l SKAGUAY, Nov. 8 (via Seattle Nov. O.-The appraisers appointed by the United States District Court of Alaska to assess damages in the con- demnation for right of way of the White Pass and Yukon Railway have just made their report. In these con- demnation proceedings there were half l dozen suits, but the only one of mo- ment and interest was that affecting | Moore's wharf. This called for a mar row strip of land containing in all 575 feet, running between Moore's wharf and the bluff, over part of the wharf itself and cutting four feet off the corner of the bonded warehouse. The company called witnesses before the appraisers, who testified that the land | in question was worth nothing at all
 and the damage to the wharf not worthy of mention, while other witnes- ses assessed the value and damage at from $500 to S700.
 Counsel and witnesses for Bernard Moore and the Alaska and Northwest Trading Company, owners of the wharf, put in evidence that the strip sought to be condemned would cut the wharf off from the land and would ne- cessitate moving the wharf further sea- ward, when the ravages of the teredo would be increased, and that the rail- way company, if 1t obtained the strip in controversy, would build a wharf beyond Moore's wharf and thereby take the trade of the latter. It was further stated that the company had previous ly offered $70,000 for this right of way. but this the company claims was for the whole line on the American side. and therefore was not in evidence in this issue.
 The appraisers are among the leading men of Juneau, namely: John Olds, J.
 md MaXH viewing the land in question and exam ming many witnesses they have award ed the owners of the wharf $22 500 The railroad company's attorney declares that he shall appeal. The wharf com panys counsel say they expected at least ,000. and that they will appeal. In the meanwhile the travelling pub lie will be but very little incon- venienced as the railroad company has just completed a very handsome and commodious depot at the foot of Broadway, and is doing large busi- ness from 1t.
