 With the first notice of the location of new fishing industry, away from the iustice-ridden towns of this section, come scores of applications from h. dian families that they be allowed to build their homes there.

 Last Monday an unknown man en- tered the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Skagway and demanded that Mana ger Lay give him s2o,oOo, or he would blow up the bank.

Luckily no one was serious ly injured but the bomb thrower, who died of bis injuries. He was undoubt- edly insane.
 MT. O. H. Bernard returned from Dawson last week, where he had been on business for the New York Life in- surance Co.,, and as delegate to the Grand Camp of the Arctic Brother hood. MT. Bernard says that all this talk about the decline of Dawson and the Klondike is bosh. He says that the mine owners are still realizing big |
 money out of their claims, as is shown by the volume of business transacted daily at the banks. The only men who are giving the country a black eye are the lay-men, who are paying too large a per cent of the output. MT. Bernard says that some of the finest people he ever met are in Dawson and they do business in business way: The boom days are past and gone, but as steady producer Dawson will be in it for many years to come. The. expense of living is much lower than in former days. A first class meal at the best hotels costs only dollar. MT. B. is elated over the fact that the next Grand Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood will meet at Doug las. An effort will be made to insti- tute camps in Juneau, Wrangel and Ketchikan, and it is expected that a large delegation will be in attendance at the next Grand Camp.

SURPRISED BY MOROS
TWO AMERICAN SOLDIERS KILLED
AND ANOTHER WOUNDED.
Cut with swords and Spears While
Doing Outpost Duty I'm Mindnnao-
Town May Be Attacked.

MANILA. Aug. ia small party of
Moros surprised an outpost of Company G,
Twenty-seventh Infantry. at Camp Wears
yesterday. Sergeant James Foley and Pri-
vate Henry c. Carey were killed and Pri-
vate Van Dorne was severely wounded. The
Moros. who numbered only a dozen, were
armed with spears and swords. The morn
ing was dark and foggy. The attacking
party crawled TO within few feet of the
sentinels and then sprang upon them sud-
denly. The entire outpost rushed to the
relief OF the sentinels. but they were too
late and the Moros escaped, although pos
sibly few OF them were wounded. The
American sentinels were terribly cut by the
swords and spears The attacking Moros
were all from Bacolod, and the occurrence
probably will result in a move against that
town, which has a strong fort and other
defenses.

CONFESSION OF MURDER.
Detectives Adopt Realistic Means to
Frighten Woman

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 13.-Mrs Ignatz
Wiurchowski has made a written con-
fession TO the police that the man who shot
and killed her husband Sunday night was
Charles Janaski, a former boarder at the
Wiurchowski home and who is alleged to
be infatuated with Mrs. Wiurchowski Mrs
Wiurchowski and her husband were on their
way home late Sunday night when a man
rushed from the bushes and killed Wiur-
chowsld instantly. Mrs Wiurchowsh told
the police that IL was a robber that com
mitted the crime Since the commission of
the murder Mrs. Wiurchowski and Janaski
have been under arrest. Last night two of
the city detectives went through the crime
in mimic as nearly as possible from Mrs
Wiurchowski's description. One detective
acted as escort for Mrs. Wiurchowski
while the other rushed at them from the
bushes When the revolver was pointed at
the detectives head the woman went into
mysteries and cried out: My God it's
Charles JanasH' The confession was veri-
fed later and written out.
At noon Charles Janaski. the man ac-
cused by Mrs Wiurchowski with the muir
der OF her husband confessed to having
committed the crime and duplicates Mrs
Wiurchowski. He states that they had gone
so far as TO decide what TO do with Wiur-
chowski's life insurance. The charge Of
murder has been placed against Janaski
and Mrs. WiurchOwski

FATHER O'REILLY DENOUNCED
BITTERLY ASsAILED BY THE AN
THRACITE STRIKE LEADERS.
Mr.. Mitchell Informed by the Clergy
man that He Had No Right to
Criticise His Sermon.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Aug. 13.-In the
miners contempt cases here Judge Keller
held John Richards and his associates
guilty of contempt and fined them IS and
costs each, holding them committed until
the fines were paid or bail given. Richards
is president of District II, United Mine
Workers.
Judge Keller first decided the question of
Jurisdiction, holding that having jurisdic-
ton over the nonresident parties against
whom the bill was fled gave the court
juricdicticn over anybody who was con-
federated with them, no matter where
such persons resided The testimony, he
said clearly proved a confederation be-
tween the defendants named in this case.
On the question of what 1t took to con-
stitute a violation of the injunction order
he held that 1t did not require entry upon
the property forbidden, but that to go near
1T it with such force as would have the
effect to intimidate the men who were
at work in the mines was such violation as
was contemplated by the court when the
order was issued. He held that Richards
in gathering several hundred men together
and marching through the country to the
neighborhood of the mines of the plaintiff
company and there camping upon ground
upon which they had no right to as
semble and making threats against the
men at work, such as the testimony
showed had been made, had violated the
injunction and that those who marched
with him and supported him in what he
said and did were equally guilty. At the
same time he did not think they had in
tentionally violated the order and he would
therefore not deal with them harshly, but
would make their fine light At the same
time, however, he wished to say that the
trial and the publicity given this matter
served to put everybody on notice of the
meaning of these injunction orders and if
there were any further violations of them
he would visit severe punishment upon the
offenders.
Five defendants Sam Washington, Joe
Smith. r. L. Bess. James McIver and Joe
Prenosel were discharged, it not being
shown that they were in the confederation.
