principally because of their improvident
slaughter OF the native reindeer, which had
previously existed in Alaska
His efforts were at first pooh-poohed
as impractcable. But Mr.. Jackson kept
hammering away on the same line until, in
1892 he was allowed to take sixteen REIN
deer into Alaska. In. the following year
these were followed bg a herd of 1I5.
This experimental Nucleus was increased
by small yearly additbns until 1898. when
a herd numbering 5s7 head was shipped to
Dawson City. This herd marked a new era

The Shooting Case.

The case which is on trial now in the
district court, in which Alexander
Hawxhurst and Jesse Snipes are charged
with an attempt to kill G. o. Chapman
and f. A. Pierson, is attracting quite
considerable attention, especially from
the Plateau people.
The jnry selected yesterday to try the
case consists OF the following gentlemen
A. G. Grout, II. P. Doland, W. M. Bar
ton, A. N. Bucklin, w. T. Staup, Edwin
Shaw, D. S. Dickie. G. w. Longshore,
Fred Vosburg, s. E. Lewis, j. F. Heron
and Moses Limbaugh.
Walter Ayres was the fret witness
called this morning by the prosecution.
His testimony and the cross examina-
ton WAS not concluded until the after
noon session of the court.
His direct testimony was that he was
a witness to the fight when Chapman
was shot in the head. he claimed in
his direct testimony that Pierson and
Chapman had given no provocation
whatever to Snipes and Hawxhurst to
shoot or engage in a fight. Ayres
seemed quite nervous in giving his testi-
mony, as though he was not quite sure
OF his points.
The cross examination of Ayres showed
that Chapman had followed Snipes and
was ON his back, and that Pierson, who
was present, had stood back and urged
Chapman on. II further ELECTED the
that Walter Ayres was not a witness to
the fight and was not present. In the
testimony on cross examination this
seemed the evident purpose Of the de-
fense to prove by witnesses that Ayres
could not testify to the conditions Of the
fight because he was not there
