Reliable Information Received From
Cape Nome-Scarcity of Water

Washington. Aug. IA letter, dated
July -, has been received ut the
treasury from a former employ of the
department. now at Cape None. Alas
ka. The writer, who has the entire
confidence of the officials, said in part:
'The reports of disease and death
that have been taken back to tn states
are untruhful. The smallpox scare is
all over. Ehere were 20 cases i'm all,
and all of them came on the Oregon.
AS yet there has been no typhoid;
but the season has been dry. which
probably accounts for its absence.
There were II violent deaths here
since June 10. Four men have been
drowned. three have committed sui

WHEN GOEBEL WAS SHOT.
Behind Fountaln-Statement Re-
garding Combs Confession.

Georgetown, Ky, Aug. IA piece of
new testimony was brought out at the
beginning of the fifth week of the trial
of former Secretary of State Caleb
Powers, charged with completely in the
GOebel shooting. Il. X. Bullock, of
Lexington, swOre that he was in the
Idiutant generals Office when the fatal
shots Were fired. He stepped out and
saw Il man in II STOPPING position be-
hind the public fountain nearby. Bull
lock could not tell whether the man
was white or black and did not know
what became of him. Bullock declar-
ed that he saw Colonel Jack Chinn
walk rapidly into the state house as he
stepped from the adjutant generals
office. Apparently Bullock's statement
did not excite much public interes.
Captain ID. h. Walcott, who had
charge of the Frankfort militia, was
sworn. He said the company was on
duty at the state capital the day the
legislature met and throughout the
session. but denied that the s)ldiers

He said they We're equipped with guns
and side arms, but this merely hap
pened so.
II. c. o. Benjamin. negro attorney
represcnting"TallOw Dick" Combs, and
whose client, it has been repeatedly as
serted recently, has made an alleged
confession, gave out an interview in
which he says that COMPS reported

himself. Commonwealth Attorney
Franklin and Victor III. Bradley, of
the prosecution, and that Combs made
all the statements attributed to him
except as to the amount alleged to
have been offered lIockersmith to kill
Goebel.
Combs nephew stated that he had
made Il vain search for H0ckersmith
and he thinks he is in either New Or
leans or San Francisco. Benjamin
said he had concluded it was due to
his client to tell all he knows, as he
cannot find Hockersmith, who told
Combs all that the latter knows about
the assassination.
