ONE MORE CONVICTION IS
SCORED AGAINST HEDICAN

Barney Hedican has again been
convicted of horse stealing, and next
Tuesday morning he will appear for
sentence on both convictions, the
juries having left the punishment toI
be fixed by the court In each instance.
Hedican was to have been sentenced
this morning, and the largest crowd
seen in the court room since the Sher-
man trial assembled to witness the
proceedings. Mr.. Huntoon. of counsel
for Hedican, secured postponment,
however, stating that the prisoner
would be used as a witness in the
Ryan case. In addition, he asked that
Hedican be allowed time in which to
arrange his affairs preparatory to 60
ing to Deer Lodge.
In the second case, tried this week,
Hedican was charged with stealing a
horse that he had previously sold TO
Leslie Mccain, of this city, the ami
NAL being afte, wards disposed of by
him to Zach Gardipee, breed resid-
ing near Gilt Edge. AS in the first
case, Hedican was represented by j.
c.. Huntoon and Worden & Scott,
while County Attorney Roy E. Ayers
and o. w. Belden, the latter repre-
senting the State Stock Growers Asso-
citation, conducted the prosecution.
! The case of the state against John
B. Ryan, jointly charged with Hedican
with the theft Of the Rooney horses,
was called up this morning, and Coun-
ty Attorney Ayers dismissed the
charge of grand larceny and filed a
new information charging Ryan with
receiving stolen property. The trial
went over until this afternoon.

STREET GAR SERVICE
 FOR DAWSON.

The Dawson News says street car ser vice is the next great metropolitan feature for Dawson. Tom OBrien is thinking of establishing not only a street car service, but an inter-urban service between Dawson and Klondike City.
 The tracks of the Klondike Mines railway will be extended into Dawson and O'Brien is thinking of getting one of the dummy engines at Bear creek, Coal creek or elsewhere in the territory end putting on an hourly service be- tween Dawson and klondike City. Tom says he can afford to carry people to klondike City as cheaply as they now can cross the toll bridge to get there, and that on the ears they not only will have the passage across the bridge, but the ri,lc thrown in with the bargain.

ROBERT WRIGHTS
 CONDITION IMPROVED

Letters received in Rampant some time ago expressed fear that young Robert Wright, who was so seriously injured on Thanksgiving creek year ago last winter, would again have to leave his home in Mexico, Mo-, to un- dergo treatment in the hospital at St. Louis
 Many friends here will be glad to hear that Roberts father received reassuring news through the last mail, and that the young man is at home and doing as well as can be expected under the cir cumstances. It is hoped that his shat tered leg will now continue to improve

NO ACTION TAKEN
 REGARDING A JUDGE

Passengers on the Hannah Sunday night said United States Marshal Perry had stated that Judge Wickersham will surely be confirmed. This led some to believe that the senate had resolved to dispose of the matter very soon. How ever, the following from our Fairbanks correspondent, dated May 2S, is proba bly, the more dependable:
 "No word concerning Wickersham. Believed Nelson's game is to delay con firmation as long as possible"

SHAKING IN KL0NDIKE
 HAS A BIC JUMP.
From the Dawson News.

More virgin claims have been staked and granted in the klondike and more recorded in April than for years The stalking has been spread over large area.
 During the fiscal year ending June, 1904, the total number of virgin claims staked and granted was l90. During the the fiscal year ending June, 1905, the total virgin claims staked and granted was l20. April of this year has made the phenomenal record of 1 400, or near ly five times as many in one month as in the two years previous.
 The cause of the hig leaps in April are the discovery of Barker and tributaries and the stalking of the Flat creek conces- sion. The greater number were staked on Barker and tributaries, and about lOJ on Flat creek. Many claims also have been -taked on other creeks in the region of Dawson. Canyon creek was s,aked quite extensively. \ number of other creeks were staked for water pur- poses, and there is a -prinkling oi stalk ing in all directions.
 The total revenue from the claims granted tor April Is over sii,Ooo

Water in the Yukon at Rampant is higher by at least three feet than it has been since 1898.
 It has been steadily rising for two weeks and is still coming up at the rate of about an inch an hour.
 It is yet five or six feet below the mark of '9S, but with ten days of warm or rainy weather on the upper river the old record might be reached or even passed. The above dispatch shows that the condition of the river at this point is in no sense local.

THE BIG FIRE
 AT FAIRBANKS
New Buildings Already De-
 pied in Burnt District.

From passengers on the Hannah last Sunday night it was learned that the fire at Fairbanks May p was very destructive one.
 The Seattle No. 3, which transferred it's passengers to the Hannah at Panama, had left Fairbanks a short time before the fire but had received details of the destruction wrought.
 The fire started in Moore's dental office on Main street. It is supposed to have been caused by an explosion of gasolene or something of the sort; for the whole place was immediately en- veloped in flames and Dr. Moore had to escape through the window and over the awning.
 The burnt district extends from Main street to Cushman street along the water front, and back three blocks to Lacey street.
 All the principal mercantile establish ments were burned except that of the Northern Commercial Company.
 The First National Bank and the Alazka Bank were burned Barnettes bank was badly scorched.
 The two daily papers, the News and the Times were burned out. The Times had only issued the first number of it's daily. A wire received May 26 said that each paper saved small part of its ma terial and is now issuing from job presses.
 The courthouse, the postofiice and the federal jail were burned. The city building escaped.
 Only three saloons were left standing in the city.
 Very little was saved from the burn ing buildings. Great quantities of goods were removed and piled along the water front; but the slabs and sawdust with which the street had been filled in soon caught fire and all the goods were con sumed.
 It is related that before the fire had been burning an hour property holders were hustling to place contracts for lumber with which c. rebuild.
 A wire from Fairbanks says many of the new buildings in the burnt district are already occupied.
