Dick Connors laborer on the Claim Wounded in the leg---About 60 Men, Masked, Cleared the
 Claim of Alleged Jumpers.

Dick Connors is in Dr. Calls private hospital, shot through the Heshy part of the,ieft thigh, the result of what is called riot, which took place Thnrs- day morning at3 o'clock on the "Cali- fornia fraction," so. called, on Glacier Oreek. A.> ..
 Connors is not dangerously wounded, despite irresponsible newspaper state ments,' which stated that mAlrder had been done. If no complications, arise, ConnOrs will soon be around again. ., The story of the shooting, as told by Nick Burley, who was sleeping on the claim where it occurred follows: l4Bur- ley went out to Glacier creek on Tues day afternoon with an order for the men representing the Me- Intoshes, one of the claimants of the fraction, to go to work. They started rocking, about IS men all told being a, work. They, were expecting trouble, and men were seen coming and going to andsfrom town,.as if something i'm. pOrlant. was under way. Wednesda. night five, men. were at work rocking with watchnan on the lookout. About 5 0 clock Thursday morning he heard some one shOuting:. ,
 "Say, you fellows get up, they're coming.'
 ,r"W hats the matter?' some one said.
 "A hundred men are cQming with guns" was the reply. C.,
 Burley says he rose from his couch and, as he did so, three men poked guns in his face and ordered him to put on his clothes.
 The visitors wore white cotton masks, in which eye holes had been cut Six men were in the tent when it was raided.
 Dick Connors. who was one of them, went to the tent door, and he was or dered to throw up his hands. He did ,sO, but asked to be allowed to put Dn his boots, as his feet were bare. He turned to go into the tent. and as he did so shot was fired and Corners was struck in the thigh. the bullet, which was probably from 30-30 rifle, passing clean throug the leg.
 ConnOrs lay where he fell. The rest of the men on the claim were all lined , up, their guns and rifles were broken, and then they were ordered to remove their tents and belongings from the claim, which they did. Then the "Mc- IntOSh bOyS," Richards and Stewart, the alleged jumpers, were called for, and they were admonished to leave the country inside of AS hours, on. pain of

death. Then all the men were lined up, and the captain, who is described as a tall man, said: t'Nbw, men. if you are caught on this claim again with. these people or if you assist them in, any way you'll get the same as they get" ls,- In few minutes the men, who ntiffl-
 bered anywhere between 90 and 65
 men, quietly dispersed .+it1 all 'direc-
 tions and not a man of either contend-
 ing factions was left on the disputed ground. Hfj' .'' It is alleged that the telephone wife
 between Nome and Glacier was cut and

 tion over" the Glacier cfeek bench claims, where the trouble took place,
 are Helen w. Kimball, Mongollon Co, J. H. Bullock and J. $. Kimbail,
 who claim Mo- bench clainE the sec ond tier bench is claimed by Price tS
 Tremper, and it is alleged that F.. Richards jumped the kimball and MongOllon claims last February. The | trial of the case was transferred to Unalaska and Richards vas enjoined from working the claim. Price also claims part of the Kimball claim and l the "fractiOn.'
 On August l2 an injunction was
 issued providing that neither Price
 nor Mcintosh should work the dis
 puted ground until Sl0,00O bond had
 been given by each. Price obeyed the
 injunction. t is said. but it is alleged
 that that the Mclntoshes disobeyed it.
 \ deputy marshal was seuy to the claim, but, acting on the advice of his attor- ney, Marshal Richards stated that he had no authority to enforce the 0b- servance of injunctions, without an order of the court. .&a

OPHlR CREEK TURNS
 OUT THE GOLD
One Hundred and Fifty Pounds of Dust {" Brought to Nome, the Product of
 % One Claimf'

One hundred and fifty pounds of gold dust were brought over this week from No. 15 abOxepn Ophir creek owned by the WildvG00se Company. ' I.,. The creek is turning out finely, although in places miners are bothered by too much wster.
 G. s. Estey, who is interested in No. l3 Ophir, also brought over quantity of dust. MT. Estey says that the placer deposits on Ophir are probably more extensive than on any other creek in this section. tThe 'paystreak is wide and deep. About 600 men are working on Ophir creek, as against .250 last year. More than 600 will be employed next year, as the creek is developed. The claims are being generally worked, except No. IA, which is in litigation. Mir. Estey while here purchased large pumping plant, which he will use to pump water to bench in which he is interested. .
 Discovery claim, owned by the Pioneer Mining Company. is rich. pans running from $lO to $20 being common. Jerry Wilson, we'll known in Nome, is foreman of this claim.
 Considerable winter work was done last year on both creek and benches, and much more will be done this winter.
 The Wild Goose Company have under contemplation the putting in of 6 big ditch from the canyon to furnish water for Ophir bench claims.
 Crooked creek claims are also good, but a number are tied up by litigation.

as read was adopted unanimously. w: T. Hume occupied the chair, and M. L. Sullivan acUed as secretary.
 The discussions following the motion to adopt and the amendment to modify were interesting. :,
 In support of his amendment Mr. Sullivan urged that the first desid- eratum was the securing of judge to preside over the district. Key Putnam supported the report of the committee. He said the, gentlemen who formulated the statements con. had acted accordingly. Those con ditiOns were>net.pOrtrayed in language too strong.
 -"W. T. Love favored the resolution as embodied in the petition. He had practiced before many judges. but had never seen such a. condition O1 affairs in any country. The practice o1 this court was pelmeated wlLh favorlt. Ism, and there were back-dUOr and side door entrances to it. Tell me the attorneys who are engaged in. d e'in this court" he salu, "and .rll come pretty nearly telling you what the result will be-" He knew of attorneys being employed in cases simply because they stood. near to the court. The court had counseled with litigants and had recommended that they employ certain attorneys.
 J.. F.. Fenton said he had been in- cHned at first to agree with Nr. Sul- livan's views, as there were always two sides to every question, but his con- victiOn was that the resolution should be adopted practically as read. There were reasons, pAtcnt to every attorney. why a change in the judiciary of this district was needed. |'" Porter J. CostoD pointed out what he believed to be the tutllity of sending "a petition to the president, as 1t would go first to the department of justice, and that was hlde bound and set in a rut seventeen feet deep. The forces working in favor of Moves had been crystalized, and he suggested that a ttatement of facts be made from the court records and forwarded to the president, for no glittering generalities would go. ..,.
 Julius Thompson said it would be idle to think that substitute judge would be appointed fOrtwo or three months. .> graver question presented itself. That question was to get d judge who would conduct the business of the court speedily and in accordance with we'll known rules of practice. The actions of Judge Moves in the last AS hours on board the Roanoke were sufficient to show that he did not know the rules of

Commissioner for Nome Precinct, But Judge Stevens Still Continues to

Nome now has two United States Commissioners, R. N. Stevens and Al K. Wheelfr. One of the many Hast official acts" of Judge Moves on the steamer Roanoke, while she lay in the roadstead previous to her departure for Seattle, was the appointment of Wheeler" Judge Stevens has not besn removed; he has not resigned, nor, he far as known, was he requeSted. to do so.

Wheeler Is a good fellow" he said 'and there will be no clash between us."
 It js the opinion of some etattorneys that the appoihtment of Wheeler as commissioner is illegal. as the law only provides for the appointment of one compissioner for each precinct, and it IS charged up as 'another of Noyes' blhiiders."

Judge Moves again bumped up against the circuit court of appeals for the ninth circuit, in the Gold Run con- tempt cases against J. J. Mckay, c. B. Wright, 'ThUinas Donohue and Charles
 Yager. whom he adjudged guilty of contempt. The defendants attorneys, Jackson, Pittman X Fink and Beeman X Hume, applied to the circuit court for a writ of supersedeas. apd it was promptly granted. Moves refused to grant q stay of proceedings, and the higher court commanded him to refrain from executing his order and to stay further proceeding pending the hear ing of the appeal. The men, had how ever served their sentences. .,

To WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
 President of the United States,
 Washington, D. C.:

The above is the petition addressed to President Mckinley that was adopt ed last night by fl members of the bar of Nome. 1t was signed by 36 of the members present, and le names were added to it today. There are 5l prac- ticing attorneys in this city, and the names of all of them are appended to the petition with the exception of five
 The document speaks for itself. 1t H a remarkable one, iiiasmnch as it Is almost without parallel in the history of the judiciary of the country. The attorneys of Nome, with practical unanimity, have asked the president of the United States to remove a federal judge, and have assigned specific req sons therefor. Recently similar action was taken by the Bar Association of Honolulu, and the president was asked to remove a judge of the territorial court of Hawaii, specific reasons also being stated.
 The meeting of the members of the Nope bar at which the above petition was adopted, after a free discussion, was held in the court house. A prior meeting was convened in the law offices of Thompson, Murane & Thompson in , the afternoon, at which committee was appointed to draft petition to the president, for telegraphic transmission from Seattle to Washington. That committee was composed of former Judge Charles $. Johnson, Key Pitt man, Ira D. Orton; k. B. Milroy and Arthur K' Wright. The petition as printed above, together with a pre- athble settlhg forth the manner in which the attorneys had been called together and the purpose of the bar. were submitted to the evening meeting in the court house. There were pres ent fl members of the bar. All of the speakers were earnest in their state ments on existing conditions, and each spoke cOnservaLlvely and 'impassion- .alely. The report of the committee which embodied the petition was adopted by 8 unanimous vote, the only objections offered being urged by r. C. Sullivan, who objected to part of the phraseology of the petition, he moving to strike out the words ''vacillating, ailatory, weak,' etc., but when the 'atnendment was put only three attOr- neys voted for it.

STARVING
Men Begging For
Work.
Akron Man Returns
From Jacksonville.
Lost All His Possessions
In Fire.

"When l left Jacksonville, Ella, last
Friday morning there We're $4,000
homeless people walking the streets
begging for work. They were will
ing to do anything in order to get
enough to buy something to satisfy
the craving for food. The half-starved
throng included lawyers, doctors, mer-
chants and business men, who had
lost their all in the terrible fire. Men
were imploring work who had never
known what it was to work before"
This statement was made to a re-
porter for the Democrat by Lieut..
Charles Il. Dyer, a clerk at the EN-
pire hotel. Until last Friday he was
in Jacksonville. He had similar
position in that city until the hostelry
in which he was employed was de-
stroyed. In the fire he lost all his
possessions. He says the situation at
present is terrible in the extreme.
Although the State authorities are
making every effort to relieve the suf-
fering they are unable to cope with
the immense task.

my way to Tampa, where 1 intended
to lease a hotel" continued Lieut..
Dyer. ''On the train l heard Of the
conflagration. Learning how serious
it was l took return train for jack

extent of the calamity. There is moth
ing left of the best part of the city.

that L could buy was one shirt, a
