The best card presented by the Mon
tana Jockey club, during the present
meet, was that Of Saturday. 1t was good
in almost every respect and it was APP
preciated by the large crowd present.
1t was primarily Derby Day and in adj
dition to the stake event six other races
of quality We're run. The weather was
I'll that could be desired and though the
going was just a tritie heavy, the sport
was ideal. :
VITO betting was a feature Of the day
and though the books broke to the good,
they took longer chances than heretofore
and the talent was satisfied. The auc-
ton pools We're a particular feature and
the manner in which the long green
went in to back the several choices,
made the eyes Of even the money hand
lers open. Not for long, long time has
so much coin of the realm changed
hands at the local track.
It was estimated that the auction
pools handled close to $500 the Mu-
tuals $4,000 and the five books, $4,000;
| a total Of 100000 on the day which GER
tainly was anything but bad showing.

 HOUND ON ANVIL
A New Cut on No. | Below Shows . New Paystreak, Which Runs
 Into Adjoining Benches.

On No. l below on Anvil creek a S335 nugget was found on Tuesday. A new cut has been opened up on the left limit. and it has been found that the paystreak runs into the adjOining benches.
 Work has not been fully started up on any of the Anvil claims, but in a few days more it will be in full blast, and the yield from this creek this year will be fully up to the average.
 Jafel Lindeberg thinks that the gold output of this section will be fully up to last year, when it reached $o, 800, 900, according to the Seattle assay office report. Mir. Lindeberg says that the season of 1899 was similar to the pres ent one, working commencing on the Pioneer Company's claim, No. l, on July "A. G. w. Price, how ever, began work on No. on June 2 but he did not make much headway until later in the season.

MURDERED ON
 UNlNlAk ISLAND
The Tragic Fate That Eefell Two Brothers Named Sutherland
 Their Partner Missing.

The tug Kinghurst arrived yesterday from Seattle, and her master reported to Deputy Collector of Customs w. D. Evans that he spoke the schooner Lizzie Colby, l6 miles of Port Moller on June 2S. One Mcdonald, presumably master of the Colby. asked to have the follow ing report made to the first revenue cutter seen:
 Last fall Mcdonald took three men, two being brovners named Sutherland, the other named Jackson, to Cape I4apin, >Unimak island, for the purpose of prospecting. This spring he stopped for them and found the Sutherland brothers murdered, but no trace could be found of Jackson.
 Flour, in, sacks marked IS X J." and some other supplies were found on the beach, and their tent, the ropes of which had been severed by some sharp instrument. The bodies showed knife wounds, and a gunshOt wound was iE the back of one of the murdered brothers.
 Mcdonald buried the bodies and marked the graves with a cross, on which he wrote: "Sutherland ErOs., Buried Here June IT, 190l." Mcdonald claims to know that one Of the brothers had about l,O0O when left on the island last fall.

THE BOAT CApSHED
Two of the Victims Were ..Jamas Elwell and Tom Donohue -Naue of the Third Net KnoMn,Tswe .df the Bodies Recovered.

A report reached Nome "a few days ago that three men were drowned on July 6 off Penny river, and it was also stated that two of the bodies were washed ashore last Tuesday.
 The names of two of the three vic tins are known. These aIe James Elwell. formerly of Cloverdale, Gal., and Tom DOnohue. The name of the third man could not be learned.
 James Elwell. cousin of the drOws- ed man by that name and his brother T. Elwell were in Nome and the latter started for Penny river Wednesday to investigate.
 It seems that the unfortunate men left Nome for Teller July 6 in metal lie boat. A stiff wind was blowing and they were advised, not to to start. The wind increased and when near Penny river they attempted to land. The ! boat was caught in the surf and ovef- turned and the men met watery graves. James Elweu, deceased, and Tom DOnOhue arrived from Dawson July 4. They had acquired some interests in the Kougarok and with their companior were going up to develop their claims Elwell leaves mother and two sisters n Cloverdale, Cal, and another sister in Dawson.

 The Minneapolis Fleets Disaster.
 The steamship Oregon reached Nome Wedn esday night at 10:3O from Seattle, having made the run from the latter port in days and 20 hours. The Oregon left Nome June 20 and thus made the round trip in twenty days. The time consumed on the run down was ! days and 9 hours- This is the fastest time that has yet been made on the Nome run. The Oregon is adver- ! tised to sail for Seattle tomorrow after noon. She brought 61 passengers.
 The steamer Lane arrived last night from Teller. The Lane left Nome Sun- day evening with the river steamer Minneapolis and two barges in tow. When off Cape Rodney, in a cAoppy sea, the Minneapolis. broke loose and drifted about helplessly, losing part of her smokestack. The Lane stood by and boat was sent to the Minneapolis and two women were taken off and con. veyed to the Lane. The men refused to leave the river steamer. After seven hours, the Lane succeeded in again getting hold of the Minneapolis, and the rest of the voyage was made in safety. The Minneapolis, however, lies on the bank in Grantley harbor, with her boilers burned out and useless, the result of the steamer having gotten ur steam on the voyage up.

TROUBLED WATERS
s1t ls Stated That the District Att0rney Threatens to Close All Gambling Houses Unless the City Attorney b Forced to Resign Ills Offlce.

There is promise of clash decisive. lprobably,rat any rate clash between District Attorney J. K. Wood and City Attorney w. T. Hume.
 Twelve months ago City Attorney Hume was Assistant District Attorney. but that's long time ago and men in Alaska and elsewhere for that matte r .develop tbitter hatreds or establish strong friendships in less time than vthat.
 Wood and Hume have not loved each .other for long time. Perhaps they .never were examples of Damon and Pythias devotion. The cause of their encouragement dates back many months. Hume resigned the District Attorney ship for some reason or other. Since that time the feud has been embel- 1ished by pers0ual altercations, and bitter aenunciations of the one have been made by the other. Wood is im- ,pulsive and inclined to be choleric and sarcastic; Hume is placid and usually good nstured. The men, temperment- ally, are. exact opposites. And prob ably both are good haters as we'll as good ftiends to those they like.
 .But thisby way of introduction.
 -The latest phase of the implacable tfeud between the District Attorney and the former assistant, it is alleged, has been brought about by an affidavit, avhich Hume is said to have made, concerning Judge Moves, District Attorney Wood, Judge R. N. Stevens and Judge Geary, in relation to the appointment, of a receiver and the con- 4sesusnt litigation growing out of the Anvil creek cases. The affidavit, so it is alleged, is a vigorous document, and it will be used when Judge Moves, District Attorney Wood and Judge -Geary are brought to the bar of the .Circut Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
 Wood, it is claimed, in some way gained knowledge of the existence Of the affidavit, and straightway he went to certain members of the city council and told them aatly that he would close every gambling house in town and .drivsou every woman of ill-repute nn less Hume was deposed from the city .attorneyship. The members of the city council communicated at once with the city attorney. They are alleged to have told ehim that they wanted no clash with the federal authority as repre- scented in the person of the district at- torey, and intimated to him that oil would be poured on the troubled waters if his resignation were forth. coming.
 Hume declined. The office, he said, had been rendered to him without hii solicitation; he had tried faithfully to perfopsn hissduttes; he had done noth' ingsto merit dismissal, and if the coun. cil wanted his resignation they would have to demand itin open session; then

OF all the cool assumptions put

labor, the kindly influences of hu-

absorbed as the mere promptings
of Quayism in politics. The great
body of the people were left out

NEW POLITICAL POWERS.

Cuba will soon be in the excite
ment OF 4 presidential and congress
sion,l election, and it will be a very
different one from the first Ameri-
can experiment in that line. The
constitutional convention having
accepted the Piatt conditions will
turn its attention to the creation
and organization OF permanent
government; the election OF press
ident for six years and of senators
and representatives for SIX and four
years. With the electoral law pro.
mulgated not hundred days will
elapse until the republic of Cuba
appears on the stage. There are
three well defined parties in Cuba.
The Nationals are strongest and
control the political situation. Next
come the republicans, who are
radical on Cuban rights, and then
the democrats, who hold a moder-
ate position. The negroes are
largely republicans. The names OF
the Cuban paRies do not Of course
indicate any affinity with political
parties in the United States.

DID THEM GOOD.
GIenwood's Ball Aggregation Too
Heavy for the Home Boys
The Drubbins Will Make Bet
ter CIub---No Excuses Offered.

The Glenwood Springs base ball aggre'
cation proved itself too swift again for
our boys in yesterdays game. There
was some strong hope Saturday evening,
that. on account of the very fair game
put up by Grand functions team. a
good result for the home team would be
the outcome of Sundays game.
The Glenwoods were too swift how
ever, and our boys were taken in to the
tune of 10 to g. This is a pretty stiff de-
feat and the home club realizes it about
as we'll as anyone can tell them.
1t is we'll. however, that they are not
putting up many excuses or course
they feel that they were not defeated by
strictly home amateur organization
like the Grand Junction team was, but
that some league members were playing
with the Glenwoods, but still the fact
remains that they were beaten and they
have decided, IN very wise manner, to
take their defeat without complaint.
The home team did not do team work
and they were weak at the bat. The
greatest weakness was the team work
No club can become proficient without
doing hard team work Individual bril-
liancy will not win victories, unless the
pitcher is phenomenon.
The Grand junction boys hope to
meet the Glenwood club on their home
grounds and they promise to profit by
their defeat.
Out of defeat comes some OF the very
best victories, and probably it will be a
good thing for our boys in the end, that
they were defeated in their first two
games.
