providence that falls to one man as com pared with those another meets with Story number two Is that of a man who went forth from SkagwaY in rig faSh> toned after a prairie schooner. This also was laden with eggs. On the schooner he had not only placed the custom m'rv high covering to the main deck of the overland craft, but up forward built pilot house from which to peer through at the horse and guide the animal as would a deep water mariner his ship.
 lt Was smooth sailing for Capt Luea' wish, for he it was who had charge of the craft, until some distance out Of Bennett. Those passing the craft noticed about It the unusual feature of a smoke stack, and more puzzlng vet was a great streak oi smoke pouring out of the funnel and fills ing the sky to leeward. As the vessel proceeded greater grew the volume Of smoke, and more gadsome grew the heart of the gallant skipper.
 But dire disaster soon overeAme him. The little stoye that was inside the rig and which was designed to keep the place we'll heated rather than to furnish motive power, ignited the sled. Another moment and the sled was ablaze. Another. and all the eggs were cooked, Another. and there was nothing but einders and hard cooked eggs. A few more and there was lonely speculator trudglng back.
 A few days later the oregOnian express was again plying the streets of Skagway but no one knew why it had resumed The secret Is out; it was over cooked eggs
 The irony of tate Is impressed on an

The preliminary he ring of the Indians charged with the murder of Bert Horton and Florence Horton was yesterday held at the jail before Commissioner Sehlbrede. Attorney Day appeared for the govern ment, and Messrs. Kelsey, Leddy and Paul sell for the prisoners, the latter as the special attorney for Jim Hanson, who made the first confession as to the killing,
 The Indians araigned arc: Jim Hanson, Ktehkoo, Mark Clanet, Dave Clanet, luck Klam, Ka Yak, Jim Will Hams, Josh Kesh, Qua NJ Ish, Paddy Una Hooch, Coos, alias George White, Day Kan Tun. and Martha Hanson.
 It will be remembered that Jim Hanson confessed that he fired and killed Horton, and that Kltchikoo after his arrest admit ted that he had fired at and had hit Mrs. Horton. Within the past few days Jim Williams has confessed 10 cutting the threat of Mrs. Horton, after she was shot by KitehlkOO,
 Attorney Day presented two separate indictments against the prisoners, one for each of the murders, which recites the facts as gleaned from the confessions that have been made, and Deputy Marshal Tan |, ner signs both as knowing them to be true.
 These having been presented for the n- formation of the court, the prosecution called Deputy Marshal Tanner, who testi- fled to the confessions, to the finding of the bodies of the murdered, and so on, much in the same language as that used by him at the inquest,
 This evidence was only put in formally. as 1t was understood that the lawyers for the defense favored waiving the prellmin- ary examination. The commissioner then held all the prisoners for trial. at the next term of the United States District court to be held in this city, without bail.
 Although only three of the prisonets have confessed to having actually had hand in the murders, the remaindIr, by their silence and their acqulescenee are in law accessories before and after the fact, and they are therefore all held on the sin gle charge of murder.
 The term of court at which they are to be tried Is fixed to begin its sitting In Skagway on April 2oth.
