 Displeasure of ColIe ctor Ivey.

w. P. Mcbride. who left for Nome yes terday goes in private capacity, having seven d his connection with the customs department in this district, it is Sald of Collector lvev. A prominent public off cial in Alaska is responsible for the story that MT. Mcbride as chief deputy and act ing collector in the absence of Mr. lvey, was running things iss accordance with his own ideas rather thar to conform to the plans of the collectT. He had made changes this authority proceeds, in the dis tributi on of the personnel of the force, and was otherwise causing confusion when MT. lvey appeared on the sscene recently. The result was that his resignation was asked for and received.
 It is said that when Collector lvev ap> pointed MT.

JIM WILLIAMS ON
 TRIAL FOR HIS UFE Charged With Killing Mrs
 Florence Horton.
TO MAKE A HARD FIGHT
Only n Few Weeks Ago It was An nouncei He had Conf nfessed as Cut ting the Woman's Throat, but He Pleads Not Guilty"

Jim Williams, the Indian boy who Marshal Tanner announced several weeks ago confessed having cut the throat of Florence Horton from ear to ear after she had been mortalv shot by kitchitoo, was yesterday morning put on trial for his life. What his defense will be yet remains a secret, but that he means to stubbornlv fight against conviction was clearly evil dent from the vigorous attitude of MesSrs. Jennings and Crews, his counsel, during yesterdays proceedings. Although indict- ed for murdering Bert Horton, as we'll as his wife, Jim Williams is being tried only for the latter crime at this time.
 The interest Skagwavans have taken in these cases was clearly manifested by the fact that, though court and counsel worked industriouslv yesterday, only eleven jurors were secured. Seyentythree taesmen were examined by counsel, most of whom were disqualified on account of prejudice or because they had formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. The last proceeding in court last night was the ordering an open venre to issue for ifs teen additional talesman. From these it is hoped that the juror needed will be se- cured The jurors accepted to date are: J. S. King, E. M. Weste, F, S. Wilson. w. H. Robertson, H. .Friedenthal, w. T.. Beveridge, Frank Lee, I. N. Hull, G. E. Chadwick, w. A, Bell and C. s. Town. The jurors selected were placed in charge of two bailiffs and are not permitted to separate or comlngle with the populace.
 The trial of the other Indians implicated
 in the Horton tragedy will follow that of Jim Williams. In order to provide jurors, Judge Brown has sent an open venlre to Juneau for 100 talesmen. They will prob ably arrive on the Al>Ki Thursday.
 John Doe Veitzman plead guilty yes terdav to an indictment for violating the license tax law and was fined $Io.
 Indictmets against Frank F. Clark, of Porcupine, and R. M. O'Dell, of Haines for violating the license law were dis missed on motion of the district at torney, who became satisfied that they were erroneousIy found.

FIVE OF HANSON'S
 PARTY ARE RELEASED Indians Held for Killing
 the H0rtOns Go Free. WILL BE WITNESSES One of Those Released Dramatically Pleads to Die With His Brother Wife of One Said to Have Died of a Broken Heart.
WILL BE WITNESSES

The defense won substantial victory in the Horton murder cases yesterday morning when Gen. Friedrich had the in dlctments dismissed against five of the Indians charged with the double murder. Those to be thus suddenly given their lib ertv were: Paddy Unahooch, George White, Johnny Kesh Dave Clanat and Oua>na-ish. The Indians were indicted separately for the murder of Bert Horton and Florence Horton, and were discharged from both indictments. They are held in jail yet. but only that thev may appear as witnesses at the trial of the Indians stlf held on the charge of murder.
 This action on the part of the United States attorney was taken that the diS> charged prisoners might be used as wit nesses for the government Tn the prosecu- ton of the remaining six Indians under in- dictment. It is largely the result of the defense in the Lear counterfeiting case. In that case the defense maintained that cos defendant could not testify against anyone jointly indicted with him. The court holding with them in their position, Gen. Friedrich found 1t necessary to discharge some of the Indians charged with murder that he might have witnesses. as under the ruling Jim Hanson would not be d compe- tent witness.
 It is said little Johnny kesh, the I5- year-c Id son of kitchtoo, showed aitouch- ing loyalty to those charged with him when the proposition was made to him to become witness for the prosecution and thus secure his liberty.
 "l don't want to-" he said. If my people die, want to dIe too. If you hang them, hang me"
 It is claimed that kltchitoo, Johnny Kesh's father, is the Indian who shot Mrs, Horton.
 The wife of Dave Clanat, one of the discharged prisoners, died recently at Chil- cat The cause of her death was said to be from broken heart, caused by mourn ing the fate of her husband, whom she visited frequently during the fist few weeks of his incarceration,
 The plaintiffs testimony against Jim Williams will be introduced today.

POURING DOWN 1RE
 YUKON FOR NOME Thousands Leaving Dawson for the New Camp.
MANY IN SMALL BOATS
Quite a Number Starting Through From Skagway-Party of Officials Leave--Steamer Hannah Comes Up From Near St. Michael.

Special Treasury Agent Evans, Customs Collector J. w. Ivy and w. F. Mcbride, late deputy collector, left yesterday for Nome, taking the Yukon river route.
 Bishop Rowe, who arrived yesterday from Sitka, will leave shortly for a trip down the Yukon and up the Boring coast to the neighborhood of Point B irrow. He will visit missions all along the route, and hopes to get back to the mouth of the Tan ana and spend the winter there, being gone in all about year
 Dr. F. B. Whiting, one of the oldest and most popular physicians of Skagwav, leaves today by the Yukon river route for Nome. He expects to get to Nome in two weeks.
 k. E. West, the SkagWay newspaper man, W ho has returned from Dawson, re- ports that it was estimated 1000 people left there in small boats for Nome and Koyukuk by the river route the last week in May, and that 1000 get away for the same destination in large steamers the first week in June. Others who have arrived corroborate the report as to large numbers having gone down the river. West says further
 1.-The steamer Leah left Dawson June I with 23o passengers for Nome. The Rock Island left June With d scow in tow, talk ing on the steamer and the tow 28o people Other craft have gotten away with large number of people"
 The steamer Hannah got into Dawson June from Andreafsky, I5o miles this side of St. Michael, where she spent the winter. Her officers believed those who went down early in small boats were not vet through, that is on June 4, for, they said, the liver did not open at the mouth last year until June 10.
 It is said bv some who have arrived that those going from Klondike down the rivel have little gold, and those coming thi: way have the dust and are coming out tt spend it while the others are still in searcf of the fleece. This being fact, 1t is sug gested it may also mean that the Uppe River route Is now the highway the gol( takes in seeking the outside world, anC that Skaeway is the point through whicf 1t must all pass.
 However. the great number of people who have started down the Yukon thl spring in small and large boats for Nom and Koyukuk, are believed to be sufflcien to demonstrate the feasibility of this rout to Nome.
