H. E Weymouth, advertising manager
for the Dawson Daily News, was a pas
senger on last nights train on his wav to
the states on business connected with that
paper and speaks very encouraginglv of
Dawson's future. Although the town is a
trfe dull this winter and many are out of
work, he does not attribute it to any fail
ing of the camp. There are great many
unemployed men but business as rule is
good although most of the merchants are
ovorstocked. Coming out he searched very
carefully for news of DR.. Bettinger but
heard nothing of him after he left Ogilvie.
at is the general opinion in Dawson"
said Mr.. Weymouth, "that Or. Bettnger
was murdered this side of Oglvie.
ALTHOUGH the police have worked care
fully on the case since 1t was first reported,
nothing has been heard of him.
81 had been requested by his friends to
search for him and asked at every road
house but my efforts were fruitless.
THE police have interviewed every road
house on the trail but nothing has been
learned that would lead to the whereabouts
of the missing man.
''Several hard characters who were on
the trail when Bettinger disappeared are
being carefully watched by the police.
"The news that Bettnger had been seen
at Lower LaBarge. first heard when ar
rived at White Horse yesterday, the keep
er of the road house at LaBarge, knowing
nothing of it,"

John Kennedy Is Arrested
On A Very Serious
Charge.
TALKED IN HER SLEEP
Mrs. Hull Claims to be the Victim of
an Atrocious Outrage-Told Her
Spouse About It While She Slum-
bered = Accused Held In $4,000
Bonds--Case to Come Up Today.

John Kennedy, employed as a clerk in
B. M. Behrends' Sixth avenue mercantile
establishment, was arrested Wednesday
evening on charge of rape. Mrs. +. N.
Hull, who lives on Eighteenth avenue, the
alleged victim, swore out the complaint.
Kennedy was brought before Judge
Sehlbrede late Wednesday evening and
placed under a $4,000 bond to appear for
the preliminary hearing TODAY. He was
unable to give the bail and went to Jail.
The hearing will be at two o'clock.
"The accused and Mrs. Hull became &C
quanted some time ago." said one &C
quainted with the facts.
"She washed flannelS and other light
articles of clothing for him and was
In the habit of delivering them to his
house near McCabe college.
1T was there, one week ago today that
tie outrage is said to have been committed,
her husband learning the facts Wednesday
afternoon and causing Kennedv's arrest.
"Mrs. Hull claims she was the victim
of brute force, fear of publicity keeping
her from making the affair public directly
after the occurrence"
Friends of Kennedy scout the idea of
rape and claim that Kennedy and Mrs
Hull have been intimate for some time.
Her husband claims to have first learned
of the affair from his wife's talking in her
sleep.
Manager Martin Conway, of B. M.
Behrend's store, in speaking of the affair
said:
"Mr. Kennedy has worked for US almost
ever since our establishment in Skagway
and is very trustworthy young man.
For some time past Mrs. Hull has been
frequently coming into the store to see Ken
nedy and has sent him several notes."
Aside from saying that he was not
guilty, Kennedy would not talk but is
verv nervous over the affair." He is repre-
sented by Attorney J. F. Dillon.
Mr.. Hull is employed as machinest at
the railroad shops and is popular among
his fellow Workmen.
1t is said that Hull wrote a letter to
Kennedy, Wednesday, warning him that
if he did not leave town at once he, Hull,
would shoot him on sight,
Kennedy answered the letter, says this
authority, apologzing for the 'unfortun-
ate occurrence of a week ago."
Both letters will probably be used IS
evidence at the hearing today.

Big Mail Arrived last Night,
Being One Week Com
ing Out.
FAST TIME TO BE MADE
Agitation In Dawson On Account
of Poor Mail serYOo is Now
Oyer Action of Board of Trade
Had Much to Do Win Bettering
the Service.

Dawson mail of the 10th six and one
half days on the road to White Horse,
came in on last nights train and was dis
tributed last evening. The agitation
about poor mail service in Dawson last
week seems to have quieted as better time
was made.
n. E. WEYMOUTH, who Is IN his wav to
the states, representing the Dawson
Daily News, arrived last night and in
speaking of the matter said:
1.-THE hitch in the delivery of mail was
partly caused by the Canadian Develop.
ment Company using horses so eallv in
the season, and not having a sufficient
number of dogs to carry the mail and in
competent drivers. The latter causing the
greatest trouble.
"Some of the drivers were men who won
such reputation for the company last
year for the fast delivery of the mail, but
they fell down this year and would fire.
quentlv lay off at a roadhouse and 90 on a
drunk.
"Between Selkirk and Dawson, where
the trail was the best and the fastest time
should have been made, was where the
greatest delay occurred.
"The public meeting in Dawson and the
action of the board of trade had much to dc
with lettering the service and no more
trouble is expected.
ION the lower Yukon there was never
any cause for complaint, nor Is there now
complaint made of the delivery on the up
per river.

that she never will, though the officers of
the Pacific Coast Steamship COMPANY are
still confident that the old ship will see
many years of active service vet.
The Topeka was raised once and when
she settled again on the rocks she injured
her machinery and stove another large
hole in her hull. 1t is said her pumps are
not working we'll and that II strong
south wind should come up It would beat
her to pieces.
The AK, which was to render assis-
tance to the disabled craft, proceeded on
her wav, being unable to be of service un-
til more repairs could be made.

fixed their bonds at $500 each.
The charge against them was the alleged
theft of a quantity of whisky and canned
oysters from the Dolphln's cargo on her
voyage before the last to the north. Man
ager Peabody of the Washington x Alaska
Steamship Company signed the complaint
and caused their arrest.
The present case. 1t Is said, will be pros
ecuted principally for the purpose of put

plicated in the affair, one being a wo-

which Warden Wolfer succeeded in

ports the guard, together with a
former guard and Leland's paramour,
mad been planning the escape of Le-

AZ was to be done early in the morning.
when Leland came from his cell to
enter upon his duties in the dining
room the guard was to give him a
key which had been made in St. Paul

early in December. Last Thursday
the guard had a bogus telegram de-

that his sister was dying. He left for

arrested yesterday on a st. Paul and
