, The "Nugeet" Receives a Let
 ter From Norman R. Smith.
RAILROAD ASSURED
The Weather Had Been Remarkably Fine; Too Much So for Overland Travei-Atl Roadhouses Built That There Was Material For.

The NUGGET is in receipt of letter from Norman R. Smith, Of the Trans Alaska Company, dated Iliamna Bay, Jan. l9, from which the following ex- tracts are taken:
 'I arrived here on the 12th instant with my entire party, all safe and sound, having made a trail all the way from St. Michael, establishing all the roadhouses from St. Michael this way that had material for. l reached the mouth of Malchatna river on Dee. l, and should have been here in five days thereafter, but was obliged to go down the river to Nushagak to attend to the supplies had sent there, in order to start them up so as to get them in place.
 "The weather has been remarkably fine and open--too much so for over land travel. F. Coke Hill starts back tonight over my trail with the mail. with Captain Bales. of mushing nO- toriety, as United States carrier, by whom Mir. Hill will forward the pre- cious packages to Nome from kOser- ef,kl, as Mr. Hill will return over the line immediately to carry the next in staliment.
 .I have nothing of a startling nature to report, only that l am going to build the railroad. We have rival in the field"
 The NUGGET is also in receipt of q letter from Judge H. A. Day, formerly of Nome, but who is now located at Iliamna Bay as attorney for the Trans Alaska Company. Judge Day says in part:
 "Norman R. Smith, who started from the Yukon river last fall, as you will remember, about Nov. ], arrived here on Jan. F with horses, and you may now rest satisfied that the route Is open for good and all, and Seward pe- ninsula is no longer cut off from the outside world.
 ''There is every reason to believe that this place, as the southern ter minus of the route. will be one of the most important points in Alaska.
 ''Of course, Il frontier town is never properly named until baptized in blood, and this place now enjoys that ques- tionabe distinction. On Jan. $ United States Deputy Marshal C. w. Bruce shot prisoner whom he had in charge for misdemeanor. and for d time stood a good chance of a bath in the bay, ad- ministered by an angry crowd; not quite as exciting as the Soapy Smith exit at Skagway, but decidedly inter- esting for the time. Being the only lawyer on the ground, 1 went to the mob and pledged myself to sec that the law took it's course. finally quieting them, probably as much as anything because the result of the shot was not a dangerous wound. Bruce was at once arrested by United States Commits sioner C. T. Brooks: complaint was filed, and on the 17th inst. Bruce was held to bail in the sum of $2 800, which he was unable to furnish, and this morning left on the steamship Bertha in charge of Special Officer John $. Harville, who was appointed by Judge Brooks to act as marshal.
 '.The Jeanie is on the way some where between here and Homer, where she was when the Bertha came past, and carries large quantity of mail for Nome and way points. She ought to be in any hour"

Nukwan Indians Perpetrat-
 Ors of Fiendish Crime.
BOY WAS a WITCH
So Said the Medicine rlan of the Tribe-The Victim Was Rescued After Being Five Days in His Grave, But lie Is Insane.

SkGgway, Feb. IA squad of United States troops leaves here this evening to arrest all the Indians at Klukwan for burying a boy alive. Two years ago twelve of these Indians were brought to jail here for being con cerned in the death of Bert and Florence Horton, a young man from Oregon and his bride. The pair were out camping and were massacred by the Indians without giving any provocation what ever. That horrible crime produced considerable excitement, but it bears no comparison to the bitter feeling against klukwan Indians which their recent barbaric act has awakened.
 Since the beginning of the year no less than thirteen deaths have occurred at Klukwan, some of them, It may develop later, on account of the bitter rivalry for the chieftainship. These deaths naturally gave rise to great deal of suspicion in the tribe and q belief that witchcraft was being prac- tced. One of the witch finders or medicine man ''smolted" out an Indian boy known as Little Klukie as the witch. and as the superstiti0us Indians immediately believed that he was re- sponsible for the whole thirteen deaths, they held pOw-wow and passed sen tence upon him.
 Last Tuesday night they dug d grave in their burial ground to the right of the trail, and the boy was led mp to it. But they did not kill kim. They re- served him for a cruelty more horribly tiendish. He was trussed like q fowl. his arms and legs being skewered to his body. Then placed in aboX which just fitted his body.
 With horrible incantations the box was placed in the grave and then chunks of ice thrown in. A plank, however. had been placed above his face so that the air might reach him.
 It was not until Sunday morning that the news of this diabolical act reached the ears of the Presbyterian missionary at Haines. He immediately sent for the buried boys parents and notified he mounted police at Porcupine. Two of the police went to Klukwan with all the speed they could make.
 
 wonderful to relate, the boy in it was still alive.
 He had been buried for five days and six nights, with the thermometer at about zero all the time.
 The boy was almost frozen to death, but under careful medical treatment he at length recovered consciousness. It is believed, however, that he will be permanently insane. He has been taken to Porcupine.
 After the grave had been robbed Of its victim, the missionary from Haines, on his way back through Klukwan, was mobbed by the infuriated Indians and received very severe injuries. There is, in consequence, tremendous excite ment at Haines, and a buckling on of revolvers to go and kill the whole tribe. But wiser councils prevailed and the colored troops were sent for Captain Hovey will take about half his men and will arrest all the Klukwan Indians and bring them to jail here.

He says "WC passed two men yesterday who came in from Iliamna Lay with horses, so we will have q trail the rest of the way. We expect to meet the mail tomorrow. There is about l,20O pounds of it.

wise schooners. members of the

that this'is a discrimination and that
vessels should be loaded in the order of
their arrival Members of the ass0cfa-
ton have signed a contract agreeing
to forfeit $500 to the association if they
break the agreement. Charters here
after presented 10 the coal shippers will
contain the loaded term clause As vet
the local shippers have taken no action
in the matter
