ALASKA MAN MUST HANG
Sequel to a Quarrel that Occurred
During the KIondike Excite
ment in 1898.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE United
States supreme court today in an opinion
by Justice McKenna, affirmed the decision
OF the lower court in the case OF Homer
Bird against the United States, coming to
the court on a writ OF error from the dis
trict court of Alaska, by which court Bird
was convicted of murder
The case has attracted considerable at
tention, the murder having occurred during
the Klondike excitement in 1898. Bird, a
contractor OF New Orleans, was on his way
to that section with a party, when he
quarreled with some members OF his party
and killed two OF them.
The case had had two hearings in the su-
preme court. The first hearing resulted in
the ordering of a new trial That trial
resulted IN a conviction and the case was
again brought to this court, with the result
that the decision was this time against
the accused.
The case involved the question as to
whether the trial Of the case under the
act of 1884 was regular, and the court
held that ii was so.

HEALERs WIN A VICTORY
Supreme Court Decides that PostOfAce
Department Errs in Issuing
Fraud order.

WASHINGTON, Nov. T.-Justice Peck
ham of the United States supreme court
today delivered the opinion of that court
In the case of the American School Of Mag
netic Healing against ]. S. McNulty, the
latter being postmaster at the town Of
Nevada, Mo-, where the school is located.
The proceeding grew out OF fraud order
issued by the Postofice department pro-
hibiting the postmaster from delivering
mail addressed to the school. The original
bill asked for an injunction to prohibit the
postmaster from obeying this order.
On trial in the United States circuit
court for the western district of Missouri
the departments order was sustained on q
demurrer Today'S opinion : &, vsed that
judgment, but in delivering 1t Justice
Peckham said that there was no intention
OF passing upon the various constitutional
objections set out in the bill, the inten-
tion OF the court being to simply hold
that the admitted facts show no violation
of the statutes cited but an erroneous
order given by the postmaster general to
the defendant which the courts have the
power to grant relief against"
The action Of the court was accompanied
with instructions to the lower court to
"overrule the defendants demurrer to the
amended bill, with leave to answer and to
grant temporary injunction as applied for
by complainants."
The court added: "In overruling the
demurrer we do not mean to preclude the
defendant from showing on the trial, II
he can, that the business OF complainants
as in fact conducted amounts to a violation
OF the statutes"
Justices White and McKenna did not
concur in the opinion.
