MONKEY ADOPTS A KITTEN.
Miss JOc!>O the Wonder of SiGhtseers
at juneau, Alaska.

From the Chicago Tribune
One of the most unique sights of Juneau.
Alaska, and a source of never failing in
terest to tourists who visit that place. is
the tender care of Miss Jocko. said to be
the only monkey in Alaska, for a little
founding kitten.
Miss Jocko belongs to Terry Cohn. who a
short time ago placed kitten in charge
Of the monkey. She at once literally took
the founding to her breast and cared for it
with all the sympathy and tenderness Pc
culiar to the quadramana. When strangers
came near Miss Jocko showed her dis
pleasure by continuous chattering, and her
anxiety was betrayed by the nervous way
in which she folded her charge In her arms
The only time she would consent to releas-
ing the kitty was when her master set out
a saucer of milk for it.
The cat got on fanlously and became
large and fat. but one unlucky day some
one stole it. Miss Jocko was disccrsolate
beyond words and refused to be comforted
until about the middle of last month, when
a little girl presented her with tiny kit
ten.
Previously the monkey had rejected other
kittens, after losing her first ward, but this
one she took to her heart. Carefully she
looks after its every want, washes its face,
kisses it at appropriate intervals and at all
times keeps it Immediately free of dirt.
At night the mother monkey takes her
feline child and puts it carefully to sleep
in a dry goods box, never falling to cover
the kitten with a piece of blanket.
A few days ago Miss Joclxo unlocked her
chain and sought refuge from the crowd by
climbing to the top of porch. never for
moment letting go of her baby. She folded
the little one in her right arm, squeezing it
until 1t mewed, then Scampered up O post
to a place of safety, from which Mr. Cohn
finally dislodged her. To effect this result
he was obliged to climb to the second story,
open window and step out upon The
porch. Miss Jocko quickly folded the baby
in her arms and descended.
Miss Jocko has been resident of Juneau
for less than year. She is South Ameri-
can monkey and apparently IS thriving II,

Whether Mrs Walters was conscious
or unconscious of the conspiracy the
authorities are nct prepared to say,
but are strongly inclined to the belief
that she was either deceived or coerced
into asking Mckenzie to give employ
men to her cousin, Doorman Cook. "
and informing Cook that a place was
open for him at McKenzie's.
1t is asserted that they will prove it
was prearranged between Walters and
Mckenzie to have Cook in the box stall
where he would be done to death on
the pretext that Walters was forced to
kill him in self-defense. This may be
said to be the intended line of the
prosecution in the approaching trials.
Every available space in the large
courtroom where the inquest was re-
sumed this morning was filed by spec
tators, interest having been intensified
by the probability that Mckenzie
would be implicated and arrested. Nc
Kenzie was the first witness, and the
sensational character of the informa-
ton ground out from him word by word
by District Attorney Bell kept nerves
in the courtroom on edge.
While the details were remarkable in
themselves his testimony as a whole
showed that he had radically changed
his attitude in the case. He had within
two days become transformed from the
chief witness in favor of Walters to
one utterly worthless to the defendant.
He had lost his solicitude for Walters
and had evidently in mind the welfare
of Mckenzie only. But his chameleon
act resulted disastrously 1t worked
no injury to Walters and only nerved
the jury to finding the witness to be
an accessory to the murder
In his testimony to-day Mckenzie
contradicted or utterly failed to re-
member nearly every fact in favor Of
Walters to which he had previously
testified.
Walters is thus left without single
human witness to bear out his story
of self defense.
In the early part Of the examination
of Mckenzie District Attorney Bell
showed that in his original statement
Mckenzie had said that he first met
Doorman or Cook in the office of the
stable on the day Cook arrived In Napa.

EACH GETS BREATHING SPELL
CLEVELAND'S SICKNESS PUTS
HIM OUT OF THE RACE.
Stewards Newspaper Organ Charges
Newlands With Being a Traitor
to the Party and to the
Silver Cause.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CARSON, New, Jan. 13.-After the
preliminary skirmish in the Central
Committee yesterday both sides in the
Senatorial fight are resting on their
oars awaiting the result of the post
poned meeting next Thursday. The
action of the Central Committee in
refusing to depose Sharon as chair
man gave the Stewart men a temporary
setback, but they claim that the
breathing spell gained by the Newlands
men will postpone the time of execu
ton, and they argue that the deposing
of the chairman by votes instructed
from all over the State will make the
defeat more crushing.
The Newlands side claims that when
the committee meets 1t will sustain
Chairman Sharon. The Appeal this
morning contained a communication
from c. N. Sain giving Newlands notice
Of a resolution he will introduce at the
next meeting of the committee. 1t de-
nounces Newlands as a traitor to the
party and the cause of silver and scores
him in unmeasured terms. The NeWlands
men are at a disadvantage with the
war made in the Central Committee
and also in the Legislature. The Stew
art men so far are on the aggressive
and claim that they had. the votes to
have carried any point they wanted to
make and on Thursday next will make
Sharon's expulsion almost unanimous
A. c. Cleveland is still sick at the
Arlington, with no Improvement in his
condition. 1t is generally understood
that his sickness puts him out of the
fight and that his votes will go to New
lands on the second ballot. Most of the
members were on the ground to-day,
and the hotels are rapidly filing up.
The Appeal, Stewards organ, has been
enlarged and is daily publishing car
toons on NewlandS.
The NewIands' organs are charging
that Colonel Chinn is sailing under
false colors in the fight and is not the
agent of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
Colonel Chinn in an interview this
evening, says: II never claimed to
have been sent here by the National
Committee, as the committee has not
met for months. 1 came here at the
suggestion of leading silver men, and
it is not costing Stewart a dollar to
have me here fighting in the interest
of free silver. If you want to learn
anything about me write to Blackburn,

years. The other two are girls aged
respectively and II years. Mrs. Nc
kenzie had an intimation that she
would soon be deprived Of her husband
by the hand of the law, but when the
blow fell there was a fearful scene.
The wife moaned and wept in her help
lessness and the younger children
chung to their father and cried pite-
ously. In the midst of it all Mckenzie
tore himself away, almost glad Of the
relief from this affecting situation that
prison cell would provide.
There is probably no parallel in the
criminal history of the State to the tale
temporarily rounded out to-day by the
arrest of ex-Sheriff Mckenzie. This is
the story that the prosecution claims
it will make good by convincing and
convicting evidence: About two years
ago Alfred Cook was discharged from
the employ of Jesse Walters of Oak
vile, this county, with whom he was
employed as a barkeeper The cause of
Cooks dismissal was the suspicion on
the part of Walters that his employe
had been unduly intimate with Mrs.
Walters.
Early in December Walters became
suspicious that his wife and Cook were
in communication with one another and
were even meeting clandestinely in San
Francisco. Acting on this idea and en-
listing the services of George S. Nc
Kenzie, then and for ten years past
Sheriff of Napa County, private but
persistent investigation was com
menced to locate Cook and ascertain If
the ex-barkeeper and Mrs. Walters
maintained closer relations than the
law permitted In this alleged conspfr-
acy of private revenge, the prosecution
claims it win show Mckenzie. the high
est peace officer in the county. used the
prestige and power Of his public office.
He sought to obtain prohibited infor-
nation from the local postal authori-
ties, but without success, and also en-
deavored to secure the aid of the San
Francisco Police Department in the
search for Cook.
They will show also that having at
last located Cook, the intended victim
TO husbands vengeance was induced
by letter from Mrs. Walters to seek
and obtain employment in the stable
Of Mckenzie In this city.

had left the building it collapsed falling

To-day's developments in the Cook
Walters Mckenzie tragedy were nu-
merous enough and sensational enough
to satisfy even the most morbid
minded. There We're several hours Of
exciting examination before the Cor
oner's jury, during which testimony was
extracted by slow but effective grilling
of ex-Sherin Mckenzie, going to show
that for at least. several weeks the
witness and Jesse Walters had been on
a still man hunt after Alfred Cook, the
suspected lover of Mrs. Walters. For
nearly two hours the Coroners jury de-
liberated over the testimony which had
been submitted to it, and then brought
in what might be called a triple bar
relied verdict. First Jesse Walters was
charged with the murder of Alfred
Cook. Next six Of the jurors signed a
verdict finding that ex-Sheriff McKen-
zie aided and abetted the murder of
Cook. and the last three Of the jurors
found that Mckenzie was an accessory
after the fact.
Scarcely had the verdict been read
when the Sheriff was away from the
Courthouse and shortly afterward
returned with his predecessor in office
in hack. Most of the large audiences
that had attended the inquest had
waited for the prisoner in front of and
in the corridor of the Courthouse, and
in passing into the jail at the rear of
the building, Sheriff Dunlap and Nc
Kenzie had to force their way through
