MORE MOUNTED POLICE
 FOR SOUTH AFRICA
The Popular Captain Jarvis
 Is Chosen.
FOUR MORE MUsH IN
Canada Is Selecting tho Flower of Her Experienced Rough Riders" for Service Against the Boors.

Three more men In the mounted police service arrived night before last enroute south to join the Strathcona Horse for South Africa. They are Captain Jarvis who built and has been In charge of the post on the Dalton trail ever since It's cons struetlon two years ago; and CorpOrdls F.. c. She'll and Sklrving from Dawson, They expeet to get away on the steamer Amur.
 Messrs. Bealke, Buchanan and Fleming, of the Dawson contingent of the mounted police, are also enroute to Skagway to go south to join the Stratheona Horse. They and CorporalS She'll and Skirvlnger starts ed from Dawson February 10, with Capt. Gardner and party. The captain and three others came out with teams, but Corporals She'll and SkiTvlng walked every foot of the way. The three men who have not arrived are also walking.
 One of the best, if not the best mushing time records ever made between Bennett and Dawson Is to be credited to CorpoTals Skirving and She'll, They covered every foot of the way in thirteen days and meai- ured every fot of the distance with their moecasins. They made an average of 70 miles a day, and arrived here in the pink of condition and as rosy as the dawn. The eorporals have been hardened to frequent long distance expeditions In the north, and found the jaunt from Dawson to the coast only pleasant outing. They put up at the roadhOuses at night,an usually struck the trail at 6 o'clock In the morning. Sometimes they would go cn until 9 o'clock at night, ana sometimes they would halt earlier.
 Capt. Jarvis. Corporals She'll and Skirv' Ing and all the other numerous police go- ing out for Africa are considered the flower of Canad4's police. They are chosen with particular regard to physique, and the minimum height Is five feet eight Inches, while the average of the men Is probably hve feet ten. Many of them arc six feet tall oT more.
 Capt. Jarvis, as before stated, has been in charge of the police post on the Daltou trail and near the international boundary for the last two years. Previous to that he spent eighteen years In the mounted police service on the plains. Toronto Is his home. A telegram offering him a commission in the Strathcona Horse, was sent eighteen days ago and lately received.
 The poor service to the north and the interior delayed It's delivery and his re- sponee. The captain does not know what rank he Is to have in the regiment.

Powers and Others.
WE'RE 10 CAPTURE TRAINS

Suggestion of Railroad Lawyer For
Mountainecrs to Take Forcible Po-
session and Go to Frankfort Powers
Urged Witness Not TO Go on Stand.
GEORGETOWN, Ky, July 1.-THE
Powers case was started off with long
legal debate before the court on the
question of the admissability of matters
transporting between the date of the
shooting of Senator Goebel and his
death. The point was raised by ques-
ton put by the prosecution to Witness
Culton regarding conversation be-
tween him and Youtzey before Goebel
died. The court ruled that this evidence
must be excluded.
Oulton resumed the stand. In regard
to the preparations for bringing the big
crowd of mountaineers to Frankfort,
witness said Powers told those in the
conference that in the event Of any
trouble growing out of the importation
of the men the leaders would be in
dicted for conspiracy and asked if they
were willing TO take the risk. In the
discussion of the question Of transporta-
ton witness said Henry Painter, Mid
dlesbOro railroad lawyer, suggested that
trains be captured on several roads.
After the assassination Powers came
to witness and told him to write to the
parties who were in conference and tell
them they had better be very careful
and do no talking, as they were liable to
be connected with the murder. Wit
ness told him it would be dangerous to
write, and Powers said he would do it
himself. The prosecution produced a
box of cartridges for witness to inspect.
He said the cartridges were like those
Youtzey showed him when talking
about killing Goebel.
Begged to Keep Off the Stand.
Powers gave witness badges for the
mountain men who remained at Frank
fort. They were issued so that in case
of trouble they could distinguish their
own men from others. The badges con-
tanned a picture of Governor Taylor.
Witness said that while in Jail with
Powers at Frankfort Powers begged
him not to go on the witness stand in
the hearing of his (Culton's) motion Of
bail
"Is it not true that you used over
ST. 900 belonging to the funds in your
charge while a clerk in the auditors
office and that Auditor Stone was COM
PEELED to make your shortage good?"

examination.
ut is not true / was not short in
any amount and Auditor Stone did not
have to pay anything ON my account.
There was question about the legality of
some claims allowed in my depart
ment. -
Mr.. Owens asked number of ques-
tions to show that the testimony given
by Culton was at variance ON some
points with that given in his application
for bail at Frankfort.
