POOR CATCH CLAIMED
 BY NATIVE TRAPPERS

Natives from Dall river and other points say the catch of fur has been re- markably light. Of marten they declare there is practically none. Lynx, so numetous earlier in the season, are dis appearing, and there is no fur of any kind to be found anywhere. Even the rabbits, they say, are all gone.
 On the other hand, Rampant dealers are inclined to guy the Indians and tell them they have caught fur all right, but that interruptions up-river traders, by telling them that marten skins can only be sold at $2.50 in Rampant, have got all their skins at $4 or 8.
 . There may be d grain of truth in each side of the matter.

picture of the amount of money which these travellers possessed, and told mar velous tales of how they poured their dollars out like water from mountain stream. Their dollars, he assured them, were as plentiful as the salmon at the mouth of a river in the summer time. The expected thing happened-the na- tives decided that they would visit the great metropolis of the north and dispose of their wares to the guileless chechacos.
 Sleighs were packed, and men, women and children, headed by King Wada, started for the town. On arrival Wada, as chief, was deputed to sell the goods for the crowd, as the natives were some what disappointed in finding the people were not as ''easy" as Wada had stated.
 Then came Wada's trouble. He sold the goods, but fell to the temptation offered in the places where the clerk hands out bottle and glass. When he woke up, he found that all of the ma tives' furs, as well as the money for which he had sold them, were peluk His subjects clamored for their money, and in order to save any further trouble Wada left at once for Norton Sound, and he didn't wait to write out his resigna- tion as chief of the tribe. The grand jury returned an indictment against him, but there was no evidence to con vict him.
 When he was discharged the natives who had remained at Nome welcomed him back to the tribe. They blame the white men for their chiefs downfall, and they notified him that the tribe at Icy Cape is ready to receive him with open arms and to kill the fatted walrus or whatever other animal happens to be on hand to celebrate his return to the land of his people.
 Before departing for Icy Cape the first of December, Wada said that after he had squared himself with his people he hoped to take run across to the new diggings on Chandlar, the news from which had impressed him deeply.

LITTLE PROSPECTING
 ON SQUAW CREEK

There is but little prospecting being carried on on Squaw creek or its tribu taries this winter Pete Raining, who in the past backed his faith in the north side of the river with considerable work on Squaw, is giving all his attention to Thanksgiving creek, and Louis Iverson is conducting the \. C. mess. None of the others who tried their fortunes on Squaw in previous years have followed up the work this winter
 Jack McEwam, Billy Withrow and Tom Scully, however, three men new to the creek, went over q few weeks ago and will stay with the tributary known as sourdough gulch the balance of the season. They came in for the holidays, and said they have only gotten estab- lished and ready to commence work in earnest.
 Squaw creek and its tributaries drain a large area The work so far done is SD insignificant that the whole section may be said to -e practically unprospected.
 Mes-rs. McEwan, Withrow and SculIy say the region seems to hc wholly devoid of game of any kind. Not rabbit or ptarmigau, campbird an owl or q iurrcd or tcathcrcd creature of any kind seems to abide there. The men returned to the gulch Monday They may come tn for Washington's birthday.

Wada .....
A Jap Whose Career Has Been One of Varying Fortune and is Not Yet Ended |.

short part of his past, left Nome last month to begin life over again where fortune had been kindest to him.
 Wada's story, as told in the Nome Gold Digger, is an interesting one. He came to Alaska several years ago in a whaling or trading vessel, and settled at Icy Cape, where i, is believed he ran away from a ship. Later he drifted to Herschell Island, but fell into the bad graces of the Indians at that place. In the middle of winter and without food, he started back for Icy Cape, a distance of several hundred miles. Wada is a wonderful musher and with his rifle he managed to kill enough seal to sustain life in himself and his dogs. When he arrived at Icy Cape the Indians well eomed him heartily for there had been trouble amongst them since his depart ure. They had fared badly with the traders, who had cheated them, and scourge of sickness had made its appear ance amongst them. Wada has some knowledge of medicine and hygiene, and by exercising it he saved the lives of many of the Indians. One of them, who was in trance and thought to be dead, was bled by Wada, and to the astonish- ment of the natives, he recovered. The patient told his companions that he had been to the happy hunting grounds, and that he had learned that the Japanese was great medicine man, or shaman.
 The fact that he had performed some remarkable cures caused the Indians to look upon him as one possessing super naturel powers and an ability to remedy all evils Rowing low in humility, the natives offered to make him their chief and to pay him a tribute of all their iurs and ivory and other proceeds of the chase. To Wadas credit it is said that he refused the greater portion of their tribute, but agreed to become their chief. The following summer there was an ex- ceedingly good catch of whales, and un der the wise ruling of Wada the tribe prospered The following winter large amount of fur was taken in the native traps, and the village was more prosper ous than ever. Wada took unto himself q wife to help him rule the destinies of the little tribe, and from that time his lucky star became dinner until late in last October he landed in the federal prison at Nome under an indictment charging him with larceny as bailee
 The first trouble came the following summer, through the whalers who re- fused to pay anything like tine ordinary price for whalebone and furs They also told the natives that Wada was q false prophet and bad man generally. The natives were loyal, however, and when Wada told them not to trade their goods for the price offered they obcyed the command.
 The whalers were exceedingly angry at Wada, for they considered that he had robbed them of their rightiul loot and pillage. Wada told the natives of the big city oi Nome, where the white men were as plenty as the stars and the Eskimos a. scarce as the moons He also told them of the great number oi tourists who visited the wonderful place each summer, and of the high prices

PEOPLE UP IN ARMS
Property Owners on James St Dnloin City From Doing Work.

The machinery of the law was set In motion to-day by the issuance of two inJunctions, one signed by Judge Cowell and the other by Judge Peas ley, which will be very likely to sause considerable delay in the proposed Town Plot trolley and the extension of the trolley line from Thomaston 10 Waterbury.
 The one signed by Judge Cowell was prepared by Attorney Kelley, counsel for Thomas Kelly, George and Mary Prisavage. John and Ayta Krussas, Sylvester Pricewicy. Antonio Dorello, Vincenzo Palledona and John Branes- zky. all property owner on James street, who represent that the pro- ceedings in the layout of that street were Illegal inasmuch as the bureau Of assessment gave the parties no reasonable notice of the time and place of the hearing when the matter of benefits and damages were passed upon by the board. The city has in- structed the superintendent of the streets to proceed with the work of widening the street to a width of fifty feet. and in doing this to remove any portions of buildings that pro- ject beyond the new layout. Some Of the houses are over the line, and to get them out of the way 1t would be necessary to move them back several feet or saw off portions of them. It is said that in some instances the lots are not deep enough to admit of moving back and besides the property owners feel that the cost should be borne by the city. The Injunction re- strains the city from interfering with any of the property under penalty of $2,5GO. This means that the things will remain as they are until the su- perior court passes upon the question. It was the intention of the city to rush this job and get things ready for the trolley as soon as possible, but it looks now as though nothing will be done there for some time unless the parties get together and fix it up among themselves.

ROWDIES IN PARK
Police Officials Determined 10
 Keep Order Out There.

The board of works and the police department are determined that rowdies shall have no standing in Hamilton park and to that end Off, cer Delehanty last night arrested q young man named John Pinover. This fellow, it seems, was making a nuisance of himself and an annoy ance to young women and on the complaint of two young fellows, Thomas Ryan and Napoleon Rasicol of Magill street, he was arrested. Neither of the complainants was in court to-day, but there was enough evidence against Pinover 10 warrant fine of $10 and costs, with the al- ternative of going to jail. A capias was issued for the arrest of Ryan and Rasicot. It is believed that Pinover is not quite right in his mind.
 Andrea Santoro, charged with theft of SIS from the person of Antonio Rosso was discharged. Both are em- ployes at the Randolph-Clo com pany as bod carriers.

AL though St John, which has popula- tion of more than 10000, voted con. servative at the last general election, that party has not a single supporter among the local newspapers. and 1t is due to this situation that leading New Brunswick conservatives have decided to establish a party organ.

END DRAWING NEAR.
Move rto Testify at Boise Trials
 Next Session.

BOISE, Ida, July 6.-The beginning of the end of the trial of William D. Haywood on a charge of murdering Frank Steunenberg has been reached. Counsel for the defense announced that, with the exception of three or four witnesses, their case in direct is before the jury.
 Charles H. Mover. accused president of the Western Federation of Miners. will be called as witness on Monday. Mover will be followed by Haywood. the defendant.
 Judge Fremont Wood has asked counsel on both sides to submit their requests for instruction to the jury.
 It is expected that the rebuttal evi- dencc in behalf of the state will begin on Wednesday and possibly on Tues day. much depending on the extent of the cross examination of Mover and Haywood.
 The first witness was Marion ". Moore of McCabe. Arlz, a member of the executive board of the Western Federation of Miners.
 As Mr. Moore took the stand Attor- ney Clarence Darrow announced that another member of the executive board. Frank Schneider. had been killed in Denver while boarding a train to come 10 Boise as a witness.
 Owing to the unfortunate circum- stance Mfr. Darrow said the defense might be compelled to ask for a days delay little later on in which it would be necessary to secure from various other sources the testimony expected from Schneider.
 The witness. Moore. was asked as to the circumstances under which he agreed to take a letter to Alaska for Harry Orchard and mail It from Nome to the second Mrs. Orchard in Colorado. Moore said he first met Orchard in Denver in May. 1904.
 On cross examination Moore said be did not inquire as to whether the wo- man to whom the letter was addressed was Orchards wife or not Orchard referred to her as that woman and said he wanted to be rid of her. Moore said he had talked with Orchard but three or four times before the letter in cident took place.
 The defense Is expected to clear ID most Of its remaining minor witnesses within the next twenty four hours. If they succeed in this. William D. Hay wool or ChsrIes H. Moyer win he called to the stand and the climax of the defense will be reacbed It Is probable that Haywood vii be tbe last witness upon the stand. and his cram inatsoa and cr0ss examinztioa should run weH into the niddIe or latter part ef nexf week
