coming back to Nome this spring Chap man went to work in the Monte Carlo saloon as bartender. He became sus- picious, however and one morning he was missing. Mr. Cody suspected that he had gone to St. Michael in an at tempt to go up the Yukon, and he went to St. Michael, but his man had not been there. Chapman had taken boat for Teller instead and from that place he took the steamship Kimball for Seattle. Tierney wa, discharged from the 4, C. Co. in the early spring, and he went out on the tisot trip of the Jeanie. None of the other parties, who figure in the story, ns in Nome now, with the exception of the two whose at- fdavits are now on file.
 The matter was laid before District Attorney Wood, inst before he left for the outside. but he represented that his office had no funds to enahle the men to be followed, and the A. (. Co. as Il dis tinctive corporation had ceased to exist and there was no official here with authority to take up the matter. So Tierney, the principal, Chapman, the accomplice, and the one man who pro- fitted by the theft, are likely to go un- whipt of justice for this crime at least.
 Detective Cody has done clever piece of work which marks him as an adept in his profession. Every link in the chain was perfect and the appre- henson of the fugitives would have been tantamount to their conviction.
 At the time of the theft the names of several persons were connected directly or indirectly with this steal, but the story now told for the first time fixes the blame on the really guilty parties Dr. Kittelsen had the dust insured for $5OGO and the balance of the loss was made good by the A. (. Co.

Charles Wager and Jack Worden, who were arrested on August IS on Mo- Gold Run, on a charge of assault upon H. Lan jord with deadly weapons, were brought down from Teller Wednesday by Deputy Marshal Crabtree. The men hadsbeen he Id in $4, 0O0 bonds in Teller by United States Commissioner Galen. but as bail could not be procured there they were brought to Nome. Attorney w. T. Hume accompanied them, hay ing gone to Teller as soon as he heard of their arrest. Bail was promptly se- cured yesterday, and Wager and Wor- den were released. their sureties being Humboldt Gates. R. J. Park and (. F.. HOxSie.
 This case is an outgrowth of the liti- gation over No. :. Gold Run. The cir cumstances are well known. After d jury had decided in favor of the de- fendants in the case of Ring vs. Wager the latter, or some of them, were pat in possession. Then secret order was issued by Judge Moves Cat Sea(. dis was served and the defendants quit, only to again take possession. It was during this time that Yager is said to have discharged d Winchester in the air as Lanjord, foreman for H. A. Ring, came toward him with an axe.

j. J. Cole in Charge of Nome
 POstOffiCe
IN THE MEANTIME
System of Conductin
 at Fault, and Mr. "
 Do Not Believe That cd With Criminal Intent.

Joseph H. Wright is no longer post master of Nome. He was removed yesterday by Postotiice Inspector Cum, and J. J. Cole was appointed acting postmaster.
 The fact that there was trouble in the postoffice did not become generally known until this morning, and universal surprise was expressed over the turn 1 that postoftice affairs had taken.
 Post Office Inspector Cum was seen this morning by NUGGET representa- tive. He said:
 "All that I can say today is that Post. master Wright has been removed for cause and his bondsmen have designated J. J. Code to act until the affairs of the office are stra ghtened out, or anotae-- postmaster appointed.
 In checking up the accounts of tho office on Aug. 2l a deficiency was found. Just how much this is is not now lSr but it will probably approxir The revelation came bolt to Postmaster Wr. -,-<.t , he was not awa,x, that stena e deficit existed When he was seen this morn, ing he was almost completely pros- trateu.
 , II do not know what I can say" he said ''I am as much surprised as any ,ne can be, and hope in the final ad- justment of accounts between the Nome office and the postOffice department & mistake, which apparently makes me / the debtor of the department, will be discoyered.'
 Mr. Wright explained matters at length and no one who knows him at all well for moment suspects any intent to appropriate or use the funds that did not belong to him. The office has transacted large volume of busi- ness since Mr. Wright assumed charge, in July, 1900, and hundreds of thous- ands of dollars have passed through the office That T mistake or mistakes has occurred is apparent, and that there may have been a leakage is possible. but those who know Mir. Wright we'll believe that he has been the victim of circumstances, partly because of the system under which the office was con- ducted, but through no malfeasance of the postmaster.
 AIr. Wright stands well in the com { munity and his character for honesty and integrity has always been of the highest.
 Post Office Inspector Cum said that he did not know the names of all of postmast 1T Wright's bondsmen, the, bonds being on file in Washington. . Among the names that he remembered, however, were those of Jafet Lindeberg, l F. O. Lindboom, A. Rawson and A. Allardyce.
 Mr. Wright hopes to have the matter strengthened out ut once and believes he wi be able to discharge his bonds in full.

The man who unearthed the per pretators of the biggest gold dust steal that has taken place in Alaska save and except those which were done in the name of the law, is A. J. Cody, the well-known detective. Mir. Cody has had large experience in the taking of thieves, and, following clew which he got hold of last winter during his con- nection with the assault and robbery case for which George Allen, Tommy Dolan and George Hawkins were sent to the penitentiary, he speedily un- raveled the story of the gold dust theft.
 The Principal Thief.
 The principal in the robbery was Thomas A. Tierney, who at the time of the theft and for several months there after was night watchman for the A. C. Company. Tierney's accomplice was one Clyde Chapman, then bar tender in the Gold Belt saloon. and he in turn had a confdant in Harriet Doyle, who kept the Gem cigar store, near the Portland market, and who was Chap mans mistress. This woman is now at St. Michael. Tierney is probably in San Francisco and Chapman is sup posed to be in Seattle.
 There Are Affidavits,
 The story duplicating Tierney and Chapman is cOrroborated by the affi- davits of two men, now in Nome, and the woman, Harriet Doyle. One of the linen was approached by Tierney last September and asked to become a party to the robbery, but he declined. Afterward, when the theft was known, he charged Tierney with it and he did not deny it. The names of the men who made the affidayits are withheld.
 How the Gold Was Taken.
 On the evening of the afternoon on which the theft was committed Tierney went to one of the men named and told him that there was big lot of gold dust in the warehouse, and suggested that it would be good plan to ''pinch" it. The man declined the offer and Tierney went away. Later, the same night, he again went to the saloon where the man was employed. Tierney had changed his clothes in the mean time. He was asked why he was "all dressed up," and Tierney replied that he had got wet. "TOm," he said to Tierney, ''you know I'm on to you: you've been after that gold" Tierney seemed scared, and inquired if anyone had been looking for him.
 How Tierney Got It.
 The actual way in which Tierney got the gold is told in the affidavit of the second man and the Doyle woman. Tierney crawled up wooden shoot at the rear of the warehouse, knocked off board after considerable trouble and got into the building. Then he took the boxes out through the same open ing one by one. After he had them on the beach he did not know what to do with them. He was acquainted with Chapman, and he went to the Gold Belt and the two made a deal. The dust was taken to room 9 in the Gold Belt, which Chapman occupied, and placed in pillow caY$;ES' in turn

Chapman Came Back.

Chapman returned to Nome last spring "brOke." What he did with the dust is not known, though Detective Cody is inclined to the opinion that he may have dumped it overheard from the steamer rather than run the risk of washing it and disposing of it. After

Tierney Got Nothing.

Tierney told this man that Chapman hadn't treated him fair, and that he would kill him if he ever met him. Tierney also went to the Doyle woman and begged her not to give him away. The remaining one-quarter of the plunder remained in the Doyle woman s possession for some time. Then she turned it over to one Hank Chambers, with the exception of the small poke which she had given to Chapman friend. This small poke was finally returned to her and was handed over to Bert Spencer, then in the employ of the A. C. Company, who was also en- gagged in working up the case.
 After Hank Chambers had received the dust it seems he didn't know what to do with it. He was in constant fear of detection. Finally it was taken to a cabin on B street, between 3rd and 4th belonging to w. NewhOuse and Chas. Blydner. Here some of it was banned out but becoming scared again the bal ance was dumped into the snow on the tundra near the cabin. Most of it was subsequently, recovered

Took Gold Outside.

In her affidavit Harriet Doyle says that she was living with Chapman at the time. and one day in September, 1900, Chapman came to her place and told her to close her cigar store and get ready to go outside with him. as he had plenty of money. She went to his room in the Gold Belt, and there she saw the gold dust and black sand in the pillow case. He said Tierney had given it to him. A day or two later Chap man took it to the cigar store and put the sack in the girls trunk. There it remained until the steamer Senator sailed for Seattle, when Chapman took about three-fourths of it, put it in two vaises, carried it down tU the beach and was rowed out to the steamer in a small boat, A friend of Chapman saw him off, and Harriet Doyle was also there, but she had concluded to re- main behind. She told Chapman's friend that she had lived with Chap man and that the latter was going out side to sell the gold dust. The friend went with the woman and they lived for while together. He got poke of the dust from her and deposited it in the Kimball safe deposit vaults. Later she asked him to return it, but he said he he had lost it at faro. Then the woman said. ''You did not, for it was part black sand" Then the man ex- amined it for himself, and found it was as she had said.
 The poke was shown to Tierney by stolen it.
