"She was a pretty woman" she con-

border, .and beauty goes a long way
with a man. Nobody would ever accuse
me Of being pretty" she added, with a
constrained laugh, and Susan, looking
up, was forced mentally to confess the
truth Of her remark. Her purple calico,
starched and bristling with cleanliness,
set off a fairly good figure, but aside
from that little could be said in her ia

face to the front. Marion unlocked a
door nea the end of the hall and en-

artistic odds and ends, furniture of
weird designs, tapestries aesthetically
ugly, and in the midst of all a dummy

futtering in the draft from the door.
Marion had found a letter on the

Prosecuting Attorney Doubts Earn
estness of Support He Is Getting.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of Charles Wessler are develop
ing into an impenetrable chaos. The
physicians who examined the body are
positive that the deceased came to his
death by violent means, or in other
words. that ne was murdered, while
the witnesses at the coroner's inquest
are emphatic in their statements that
Topham did not kick Wesser or jump
on him, as the appearance of the
wounds on the body would indicate.
Besides this each witness was ques-
toned particularly as to Wessler's ap-
pearance after the fight, and each
stated that there were no marks on his
face and that apparently he was unin-
jured.
This condition of affairs has some
what nettled the county attorney and
yesterday he walked wroth over the
matter and roasted the police and sher-
ifs departments and intimated that
they We're concealing something that
would aid the. prosecution. He called
upon Chief Davenport in the afternoon
and told the chief that he would expect
him to extend all the aid in his power.

the department would leave no stone
unturned to aid him in ferreting out
the circumstances of the crime.
A somewhat sensational incident &C.
Cured when the attorney accused c. S.
Pulver, city editor Of the Standard, of
standing in" III the suppression of the
evidence. He accused Pulver of siding
with the defense in order to shield
friend who is implicated in the case,
and said that would make no difference
and the friend would go to jail.
James Pryor, known as New York
Slim was placed under arrest last
night and will be held ostensibly as a
witness to await the trial. 1t is under
stood there is more serious charge
hanging over his head.
The opinion seems to be gaining
ground that if the deceased met his
death at the hands of Topham as al
legged that it occurred at some time
subsequent to the scrap the witnesses
described before the coroner's jury.
Yesterday the body was again ex-
amined and was photographed in posi-
ton to show the wounds on the right
temple and breast and this picture will
be used on the trial.
Thomas Topham, the alleged murder
er. was arraigned yesterday and took
time to plead. His preliminary hear
ing has been set for Friday next.

IT WAS GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.
Effort to Dust Miners at Cape Nome
Was a Failure.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 27.-Passen-
gers on the steamer Alliance from Cape
Nome tell of the arrest of $50 beach
miners on complaint of a company
which claimed the strip of land on
which they were working. They were
soon released, however, by order of the
captain of the revenue cutter Bear,
who declared that the portion of the
beach where their claims were located
belonged to the government.
At a meeting of citizens recently the
name of Anvil City was changed to
Nome. This was done to make the
name of the city correspond with the
name of the postoffice.
Coal is scarce at Nome and lumber
is worth $3.50 per 1000 feet, so few peo-
pie can afford to build winter quar-
tiers. About 1000 people are looking
for passage OF the south, and as many
more will remain.

HARRISON CLOSES ARGUMENT.
Decision In Venezuelan Boundary
Case May Be Rendered Monday.

Paris, Sept. 27.-At today's session of
the Anglo Venezuelan boundary arbi-
tration tribunal, former President Har-
rison concluded his argument on be-
half of Venezuela. Mr.. Harrison
claimed that all the acts of Spain be-
fore the arrival of the Dutch gave her
absolute sovereignty over the whole of
Guiana, and that she would have incor-
porated it as a province but for the
warlike intervention of the Dutch.
In closing, he expressed his deep OBJ
legation to his associate counsel and
his thanks for the generous hospitality
of France. So far as the distinguished
counsel of Great Britain were con-
cerned, he said that however sharp had
been the discussion there had been
only the lSindliest personal and profess
sional regard.
The tribunal then arose. 1t is expect
ed the award will be made On Mon
day.
