BOY is TRIED FOR MURDER
Johnnie Kay Accused of Killing John
Spittal for Latter's. Firearms.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. A
murder trial, having many remarkable
features, is now being heard at the
fall assizes in this city. The accused
is 16-year-old boy, who is slowly dy-
ing of consumption. His name is John
Kay, and if the allegations of the pros
ecution are correct, he committed one
of the most cold-blooded murders that
ever occurred in the country.
The lad is understood and low
voiced. He weighs about seventy
pounds and is wasting away to a skel-
eton.
Kay is charged with having killed
John Spittal on February of this
year at Eburne, a district ten miles
outside of Vancouver. Spittal lived in
a little cabin, close to the banks of the
Frazer river Kay boarded at a farm
house on the opposite side of the road.
Spittal was in the habit of going away
on long trips and when he was not seen
after February and his cabin door
was locked no one thought of the cir
cumstances as peculiar. But on March
20, the door was broken open by one
of SpittaTs friends.
The owner of the house lay dead on
the floor with a blanket carefully

tors of Donnelly cigar store, and he
ran wet rag over the $500 after to
bet on Mead, which had been posted
there by the republican campaign man
ayers. Since that time no offer to bet
on Mead has been posted on that
blackboard.
Jameson & Phillips, proprietors of
the cigar store, had become Disguised
with the numerous strings which at
tached to the bet and finally declared
they were tired of trying to place bets
when it was evidently not intended
that the money should be taken. Sew
eral people attempted to get some of
the Mead money, but there were al
ways some reason why it could not
be placed. Everybody at last came
to the same conclusion and decided
that the republicans were merely at
tempting to make a showing and did
not wish to lose their money.
At first it was said the money only
was to be bet with Spokane people.
That put some offers out of considera-
ton. Then it was said it could not be
taken except in one lump. That foiled
some people who wanted $500 bets out
of it. The result was the proprietors
of the cigar store erased it from their
board.

''|NDIANS" ON
THE RUN
Reilly Pushes them Out on a Ten
Mile Jaunt This
,,cal4st Morning ,se

Captain Reilly's Indians" this morn
ing started out on ten-mile taunt in
order to work of some of their surplus
flesh. The most Of the bunch went the
limit but several of them died early
in the game and came home to roost.
Reilly says such travel as this is a
great thing and good sweats can be
successfully worked off. He recon-
mends it especially for the fatty boys.
Considerable practice work was in
dulged in at the ball park today and
the men are getting in fine condition.
Murdoch. Reilly's crack center fielder
came in today and will get in position
tomorrow with the rest OF the boys.
He lis considered the. best in the coun-

league is credited with a record of
three assists during the season

position he played and the fact that it
is three times as many as any other
like player has made on the coast. All

Reilly is in receipt of letter from

rangements have been made as yet
but it is expected that the matter will
be decided within the next two days.

couple of games here with the Spo-
kane Elks team before leaving.

and Reilly leads off with right and left
of Mullen's head and stomach. Reilly
landed severe right into Mullen's ribs
and forces his left to neck which put
Mullen down. He got up and Reilly
landed another right drive on Mullen's
left cheek drawing blood. He followed
the play putting another right on Null
lens neck forcing him down. Both
fought round the ring and Mullen made
several spasmodic foot plays but a
blow on the ear sent him down again.
He was counted out but was on his
feet and claimed he was still good.
They got together and clinched for
wind when time was called saving
Mullen from going down again.
Round Six-Mullen came up conf
dent but blow or two put him groggy
and he went down from a jab in the
solar plexis. Mullen took the count but
was about done for and came at Reilly
with right and left poke which fell
short. Reilly forced the issue and an
other jab on the ear from the right sent
Mullen to the floor. He called to his
seconds to help him up but had to drag
himself up by catching on the ropes.
He showed a slight activity and made
a few sidesteps when Reilly took an
other drive at his chin putting Mullen
down and out for good. Mullen got up
and wanted more but t was all off.
Australian Jack Turner and Kid
Perkins went on in a preliminary four
round bout which was one of the best
of it's kind ever witnessed in the town
Both boys went after it like profess
SIGNALS and the scrap was fierce while
it lasted. The audience was so we'll
pleased over the event which was given
to Perkins the lighter of the two that
a purse was made up in the crowd
amounting to SIC which was divided
among the two. .st-.,
The second preliminary was between
Tom Reilly and Spider Smith. Reilly
gave an exhibition of what he can do
and showed some fine block and right
and left work which proves that he
would be an important factor in big
ger event. In the finish Of the prelim-
mary. Tom give a good exhibition Of
the way a man looks when he is get
ting groggy and is going out which
brought the house down.

Jack Overdorf has challenged the
winner of the Reilly Mullen go and a
date will soon be set for the event.
Overdorf is now in training and hopes
to best Reilly.
Frisco Frenchy failed to materialize
last night in the preliminary go with
Tom Reilly. When seen he had bust
ness elsewhere. Local sports are try
ing to arrange private match between
Frenchy and Tom for tonight. Frenchy

fore the big fellow
Mullen says that he is no piker and
can yet put 1t up to Reilly. Both men
are trying to arrange for another go
here with a side bet up. Announce
ments will soon be in order.
Reilly says he received some terrible
blows from Mullen but he more than
counteracted them with his fine in
fighting and inflicted severe punish
ment on Mullen.

THE ESKIMO DOG.

He Never Knows the Luxury of .
Shelter or Bed.
The Eskimo dog from his birth to his
death, which in many instances Is q
violent one, never knows the luxury Of
shelter or bed. He spends his exist
ence outdoors and appears to be far
more comfortable In winter than In
summer. The pups when hardly able
to toddle instinctively show an ambi-
ton to run with sleighs they never
bark) and join with their treble squeals
the enthusiastic chorus of bowls with
which the Eskimo dog invariably
greets the first fall of snow. The ambi-
ton of the young dogs is soon taken
advantage Of by the Eskimos.
The little fellows are hitched to sleds
in company with full grown dogs, and
to prevent them from being run over
they are tied by the neck to the tow
line, so that when the run starts ont
they are compelled to keep up or be
dragged by the team. This simple
though brutal method of training is
very effective. and after one or two
runs the young dog Understands what Is
wanted Of him. Even before he is full
grown he is thoroughly conversant
with his duties
