went up to LaBrasche's yard. There
they saw nan 'pull light out of
his pocket" as witness put it. Wit
ness got scared and ran from 9p. M,
until 4 a. m. Witness did not know
the man who pulled the light out of
his pocket. The light was pulled out
several times and the witness feared
that he would be killed. He thought
then that robbers had thrown Nogo-
SEX into the lake. Once when he was
hiding in slough the man with a
light was not over six feet from him.
He thought he saw four strange men
in all that night. Witness had not
heard anyone walking near the boat
house or around there while the party
was there. He was sober enough to
know what happened. After running
around all night to get away from the
lights he had gone to the house Of La
Brasche and was net there by Ssh,
who let him in. 1t was dark and
rainy that night and the waves on the
lake were running fairly high. Sish
asked witness to 60 and take the body
out Of the lake but witness decided
not to touch the body, after taking a
look at it. Witness said after the
drowning he emptied a bottle of whis-
ky he had on the ground.
Louis Kremick corroborated the
testimony of Suchla in all the details.
Mike Bender told substantially the
same story regarding the affair as the
other two witnesses.
The jury consisted of Will Gleason,
Tony Konio and Richard Boutch.

The Proper Thing In Hats.

A New York halter from whose judg-
ment there is no appeal says that the
thing to wear this year is a high crown
and narrow brim. Makers Of cheap
hats may exaggerate this style and
make it ridiculous, but well made hat
in the new block promises to become
popular. Soft hats of the panama
shapes in pearls, GRANTEES and nutrias
are also beginning to fill the shop win
dows and are expected to become pop
ular sellers. In general way it may,
be stated that mems hats will present
no strongly marked features, such as
broad brims or fantastic shapes.

A. J. R. Atkins, minging engineer in speaking of the trail between Ash croft and the Yukon, says: "I have prospected over 400 miles of that country north of Ashcroft, and do not know of any country in the world where greater wealth lies waiting devel- opment, which would immediately follow railway facilities. 1 have seen solid bars of copper of the finest quail ity lying about in profusion, of no practical value because it could not be transported over the mountains. And, there is any amount of alluvial gold which would not require much capi- tai to work"
 Advices from Dawson to the Skagway Alaskan, under date of Jan. 22nd, say that good reports keep coming out from the Koyukuk. Since New Years near ly POO mushers have struck the long trail to the new diggings. A number of these are traders or commercial people who want to be on the ground early, but majority are miners, who thinks that being in the new district at the opening of spring will better enable them to find a good claim.
 According to a statement of H. B. Runnalls, published in the Skagway Alaskan, the Yukon river in the year 1883 remained frozen the entire season, and in tLe year 1887 it never froze at all. He got his authority for these statements from the chief of the Hoochi Indians, who have their residence near the headwaters of the White river. United States Government mule teams have arrived from Fort Egbert, and are loading and hauling the wire for the Eagle line. The teamsters have chopped down the rough ice on the Yu- konsand have made smooth trail all the way This will greatly facilitate communication during the balance of the winter.
 W. T. Thompson, formerly manager of the Yukon Sun at Dawson, left for the South enroute for New York to post himself on the workings of wire less telegraphy. He has ample capital behind him to introduce the system in to the Yukon, provided he is assured of it's feasibility
 E.O. Sylvester, of Skagway, has great confidence in the future of the Yukon valley as a grain producing section and says that it's agricultural possibilities are immense.

It isn't often hat the treasury de-
partment of the United States govern
ment is called on to settle financial
disputes between husband and wife,
but that is exactly what it did quite
recently. and made an award that vas
apparently satisfactory. The appeal
to the department came in such "A way
that ii was necessary for 1t to make
a finding.
According to the report, the husband
and wife had a spirited struggle over
the possession of several bank bills,
which the hsuband was tightly grasp
ing, and which the wife was trying TO
take from him. She secured one-haif
of a IS bill and carried it OFF in tri-
umph.
Then the treasury department be
came interested. 1t received half OF
the bill from the wife. with the state
ment that the other half was destroy
ed, and asking for a new bill. In Il
short time came the other half from
the husband, with Il similar statement
and claim. AS the government had
both ends of the bill it made a Solo

The Horses OF Russia.

A French writer asserts that Russia
contains 32, O00. 900 horses of various
breeds, from the tarpan. the singular
wild horse of Turkestan. to the thor
oughbred Arab. Perhaps the most in
teresting are the kirghiz and Kalmuk
horses. the useful cavalry animals Of
the Don. the unequaled pack horses Of
the Altai and the small but serviceable
breed of Finland. Extremes Of temper
AZURE and the hardships Of n nomadic
existence in the most merciless OF ell
mates combine to make III kirghlz
among the hardest horses on earth. All
winter they have to find a bare sub
sistence on roots beneath the snow and
the enormous mortality in these wan
derings exercises a continuous process
OF selection. Fast and long racing are
the chief diversions of these rough
tribesmen and even their courtship is
pursued in the saddle. every marriage

WOES OF LEGISLATORS.


This is hOuse-hunting time in Wa.b-
and their clerks. Most of the con-
gressional people" are now getting set
tied for the season. Some of them
have not changed their regular quar-
tiers at the capital in many years.
Others change frequently.
Early in the last century there we're
few comfortable homes in the District
OF Columbia. and most of these were in
Georgetown. three miles from the
capitol. \ group of boarding houses
sprang upon Capitol Hill; and then
hotels. good for that time. were erect
ed along Pennsylvania avenue. In the
hotel lobbies congressmen and all
chance acquaintance. whether fellow
countrymen or foreign travellers,
mingled in the most democratic fash
ion.
Washington was a city in a wilder
ness. as it were: and being shut of
from the rest of the country, and hav-
ing no other interest than politics. the
ootldbllltN u us Winter evenings Dt-
came notable. Books of reminiscence
give pleasant accounts of Washington
society before the war.
In recent years Washington has be-
come a highly desirable city for winter
residence for wealthy citizens from all
parts OF the country. Many senators
and representatives, too, own their
own houses at the capital. But the
practice is not growing rapidly. The
expense of maintaining a private es-
~tablishment, which usually implies en-
tertaining. has become burdensome.
Figures of recent congresses show
that about half of the members live in
hotels. perhaps a third in private
houses. and a sixth in boarding
houses. Some members are never ac-
companied in Washington by their
families. Other households make that
city their regular home most of the
year. Senators. because of the longer
tenurc OF their office. are more apt to
make Washington a real home. as are
members of either house whose legal
homes are in distant states.-Youth's
