GIGGEY NOT GUILTY
CTImeIeSs Intent in Possessing
 HemIok's Lot.

In Judge Sehljreie', court all of vester- day was occupied in the trial of the case of the United States ve. w, G. Giggey, charged with criminal tresplss. The crime was alleged to have been committed on the 5th of the present month, when Glggey began the erection of a house on lot A. block or, which lot Is claimed by A. L. Remek. The jury was composed 1f E. T. Miller, Fred Ronkendorf, L. Cam, A. Smith, Geo. Sperrv and E. J. White.
 Judge l. N. Wilcoxen appeared in behalf of the prosecuting witness, and N. E. Steams for the defense. The entire fore noon was spent in qubbIng, pickering and securing the jury.
 The evidence adduted at the trial showed that Remitl, had purchased the property in December, 'o7, from a man named Schelley, who had never filed on the lot. Remick also failed to file on it or record his bill of sale. For many months the property-has not been occupied in fact, and in looking up the records, or rather the abe sente of records, Giggey decided the lot was open to him 10 fle upon, which he did on the 5,h instant He at once went to work building house upon the property, when Remitk appeared upon the scene. The usual chewing s,rlpe" occurred and Remlck had Giggey arrested on the charge above stated. The verdict of the jury does not settle the question of title to the lot. That will probably be done later by civil action.
 During the trial the lawyers exchanged several dozen leii-hanled compliments, which seemed to affect the court and jury a Ia fly blister.

THE AL-Kl ARRIVES
Tears Away Part of the Moore
 Dock in Landing

The N.Ki came in to 4he Moore dock last night at 8 o'clock and had an extreme ly difficult time making a landing, snap ping a line and breaking away part of the dock during the operation. She had two large locomotive boilers for the railroad company and had to land them. on the Moore dock. The wind was blowing strongly from the south and the tide was running out very fast, making it difficult to land on such a dark night. A line was put out but it was unable to bear the strain and snapped, leaving the ship in a very perilouS condition. The tide took her back and the wind thumped her against the south end of the dotk breaking out several piles. About fifty feet of the dock on which stood large pie driver was thus left with but little support, and a short time after the ship had made a land ing further up the dock. it fell into the water taking the pile driver with it. She went over to her own dock very early this morning Co discharge the balance of her cargo and several head of cattle and horses. She left Seattle Sept 2ni with the follow ing passenger list.

FISTIC CARNIVAL.
Large crowd at Armory Witness
 First Glass sport.

The armov hall was crowded Inst night to witness the hstc carnival in which Peter Jackson and Frank Slavin were the main stars.
 Following two bouts between ,ocal men, which was very good, the two champions entered the ring midst bursts of applause from the audience. The men spared three rounds, but no clever work was done. At the end of the third round Jackson left the ring for medical attenian;e. There were two local matches and then the battle royal between four du,ky boxers. This excited much amusement.
