From the KIondike.


A letter was received from Henry
j. Colman by his mother here last
week. Believing it will be Of interest
to our readers, we asked for and re-
ceived permission to publish the let
ter, which is as follows:
PACIFIC OCEAN.
On board Steamer Dirigo, one day
from Seattle, Feb. 18th, 1902.
We are now coming out to buy a
large outfit. This will be the largest
shipment of perishable goods ever at
tempted, over the ice to Dawson, by
any one. While we are in the States
we will buy another shipment of
goods to follow later over the ice to
the foot OF Lake La Barge, then on
boats, following the river Ice as it
goes out.
We expect to leave Seattle about
March 1st and go straight through to
Dd"SOu OFCI VIC ICC, LuSA IcCpIu 10
Whitehorse about the 1st of May and
meet the other shipment. / left Daw-
son on the WhitepaSs stage line Feb
rucry 4th; our conveyance consisting
of Yukon sled drawn by four horses.
We were driving nights to catch a.
fast boat at Skagway. About one
O'Clock one morning, one of the lead
ers crowded the other over a steep
bank and all four horses, our sled,
and about one-half of the passengers
went down the bank about so feet be-
fore anyone knew what had happened.
The teams were all down and so tan
gled that not one of them could get
up. None of the passengers were hurt
and after about 10 hours hard labor,
in which all hands participated, we
were again on the road moving to-
ward Whitehorse, at which place we
arrived in six days, the distance of
375 miles from Dawson.
Emogene stayed in Dawson where
she is enjoying herself very much.
There was prize of $4,000 offered at
Dawson for the best song, to be to the
Yukon, as America" is to the United
States, and the "Maple Leaf" is to
Canada, national song for the Yukon
Territory. Emogene told me she was
going to try for the prize and iokingly
| tod her would give $4,000 more if
she would win. There were twenty
four songs handed in, and Emogene
won the whole thing and took my 500
and all. The song was to be pub
lished and sung for the first time Feb
ruary 9TH, by chorus of thirty-hve
voices. The lunch gong is ringing so
good bye. II. j. Colman.

from harmful parasites. soil COM

Court of Appeals Sustains

OPINION OF JUSTICE MORRIS
Forgery Charge Declared to Have Been
Proven Beyond Possibility Of Expla-

Country's Highest Tribunal Probable.

In the case OF Gilbert B. TOwIes. con-
victed OF forgery, about year ago. the
Court or Appeals today affirmed the judg-
ment Of the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict.
The accused was tried before the then
justice, c. c. Cole. presiding in Crimi-
nal Court No ?, and upon conviction was
sentenced 20 seven years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary at MoundsviIle. W. Va.
An appeal was taken from this Judgment
and pending the result the defendant was
admitted TO bond in the sum OF $4,000.
The defendant was represented by Attor-
ncys Biruey & v7ootard and the Gov
ernment by District Attorney Gould
The forgery OF which Towles was con-
victed was done in connection with the
purchase Of part Of the tract Of land
known as the Gettysburg battlefield. In
connection with the transaction It was
shown that several Of the notes made by
the syndicate which made the purchase
had been raised
The accused was charged with having
altered and raised and otherwise changed
some of the notes. In defence he con
tended that he had authority TO do So
This right was denied BY the other mem
bers or she syndicate
On this question Mr.. Justice Morris, in
the decision Of the court. said:
But the proof OF intent is to be found
IN the circumstances Of the act. and pro
testations Of innocence in this proof Of
guilt are useless IN the absence Of expla-
nation Of the incuIpating circumstances.

excuse an act otherwise wrong must be
founded upon reasonable grounds sum
