busy calking and banking their houses. as the cold weather is ainu, three weeks earlier than usual.
 The hunting parties have all re- turned from Kepai and Kussiloff lakes with excellent trophies. Some of them left on the Tvonic, the others intending to take the next steamer connecting with the Bertha.
 On September 26th Marshal Sex ton arrived from Sunrise and start . cd for Kussiloff lake. He returned on Oct. 9th, accompanied by Capt Radcliffe and Lieut.. R: K. Glvnn. of the British army, and Mir. c. c. Little of Victoria. B. C.. all of whom he had accused O; killing sheep in. August.
 Judge Hildreth was awaiting them here. As the English gentle men demanded an immediate trial court Was called for 9 d. m. of Oct. :. 7th.
 The case of Capt. Radcliffe came first, and after the evidence was heard it was found that he had per mits entitling him to kill bear. sheep and moose any season of the year. as he was collecting specimens for the British Museum. His case was dismissed and he was fully ex- oncrated, and the Marshal apolo- gized for the mistake.
 Lieut.. Glynn, demanded a jury trial. The evidence of the Indians who were in the employ of the par ty, showed that he had killed sheep in August, but it was done under false impression. He and Capt. Radcliffe had come all the way from England together with the in- tention of hunting, and had, in company, interviewed Dr. Merriam. in Washington, who asked them to study the requirements of the coun- try in regard to the game and make suggestions toward amending tn. law. Hence, he considered, al- though the permit for the museum specimens was in the name of Capt. Radcliffe, allowing him to procure specimens at any time, he was en- titled to help him kill, as the per mit did not set forth that Capt. Radcliffe was to kill the game him self.
 The jury found Lieut.. Glyn guilty of killing sheep out of sea son, and the judge fined him $15O and costs, with permission to take out the trophies provided for in his own permit.
 The case of Mir. Little was then called. He was acting as man. ager for Capt. Radcliffe and Lieut.. Glynn, so naturally being in their employ, thought he could assist them in killing for the museum. He did not desire a jury trial.
 Although the Indians could moi testify tina, they saw him kill sheep in August, the Marshal, as prose cutting witness. testified as to what he had heard, and the judge evi- dently used testimony given in the previous cases, 1 believe, to enable him to bring in conviction. Mir. Little was fined $10O and costs, and allowed the trophies which his personal permit called for.
 The Judge and Marshal then left in sloop for Seldovia. where they expect to have few more cases.
 There are quite number of min- ing men awaiting the Tyonic at Sunrise, Hope and here, together with the hunters, so the Bertha will have quite passenger list.
 Dr. J E. Anderson, who has been in Sunrise and Hope this summer, practising his profession of dentis- try, is making a short stay here, until the last boat. He expects to return next year as he is much taken with the country.
