The Salmon Family of Alaska.

There Is nothing more curious con
nected with the flnny tribe than &c
watch the doings of the salmon family
in Alaska" said Frank Watson OF that
territory.
The most singular thing of all Is
that after the females deposit their
spawn their earthly career terminates
and have seen the bottoms of creeks
covered with their dead bodies. They
give birth to thousands OF their kind
and Immediately die. The young ones
are then taken care OF by the male sal
mon, and It Is a well known fact that

Louisville, KY, March 1.-TWO out
breaks in connection with the strike ol

formidable proportions occurred In
the business quarter Wednesday after
noon. The FIRST was started at Fourth
and Jefferson streets, the busiest
corner in the city, by q cab driver
blocking Second street car with his
cab and then attempting to tear off the
heavy wire screen with which all cars
we're provided. for the protection oI
motormen.
The cab driver was promptly ar
rested and three policemen started ID
walk with him to the central police
station at the city hall, block away
A thousand persons attempted to res
cue the prisoner. Heavy reinforce
ments of policemen prevented their at
tempt, but the crowd was not dispers.
ed until o score of arrests were made
No one was seriously hurt.
The second fight occurred at Sew.
enth and Main streets, where car.
load Of strike breakers, arriving from
st. Louis, was transferring to sub
urban express car. The strike break.
ers were protected by policemen dur.
ing the transfer, but the minute the
st. Louisans we're aboard the express
car, volley of missiles crashed into
1t, several of those inside being slight
ly hurt A large number OF arrests
we're made before the assailants we're
dispersed.
Several other affrays occurred dur.

quency than Tuesday, they were pat.
ronized by only few persons. Some
we're kept running until after dark,
there being little interference during
the late afternoon on account of a
thunder storm which drove the crowds
indoors.
A conference was held Wednesday
afternoon by representatives. of bust.

Comes to a Stop Before
a Jury Is Secured.
COURT ADJOURNS
Until Monday After Ruef's Attempt
to Get the Case Out oil Judge
Dunoe's Court fails.

San Francisco, March 14.--Judge
Dunne's court was crowded, all the
seats and standing room being occu.
pied, when the case of the people
against Abraham Ruef, accused Of ex.
tortion, was called for trial Wednes-
day
Assistant District Attorney iieney
filed counter afildavits OF Judge
Dunne, DR.. Robert Patek, r. J. Nc
Manus and himself. in contravention
OF the affidavits of Ruef and Paul Nip
pert, alleging the bias and prejudice
Of Judge Dunno toward the defendant.
filed last Sunday by the defense TO
lay foundation for a request for a
change OF trial judges.
The affidavit OF Patek Is fiat con-
tradtction of the affidavit of Nippert,
local representative OF an eastern
bonding company that furnished
Ruefs 100000 bail. which was declar-
I'd forfeited after Ruef went into hid
ing at the Trocadero.
In his AFFIDAVIT Nippert swears that
last September while he and Judge
Dinne and Charles Leonard were
spending q vacation in Plumas county,
during conversation Judge Dunno de.
nounced Ruef and Schmitz as grafters.
DIR. Patek In his affidavit swears
that the remarks attributed by Nip
pert to Dunno were not made by the
later, hut by Nippert himself. He fur
ther affirms that on the contrary,
Judge Dunno made no statement that
any grating was going on and made
no statement at all as to his regard or
lack of regard for Abraham Ruef or
Mayor Schmltz or denounced them or
even mentioned their names; and dur
ing this conversation no one except
Nippert expressed any bias or feeling
against Ruef and the mayor; and that
hot even he or Nippert called the
mayor by name.
Judge DUNES affidavit Is cate
gorical denial OF the allegations of bias
made against him in the afildavits OF
Ruef and Nippert. Judge Dunno
among other things declared that he
has never taken an active interest in
politics, either In appoaltion TO Rnef.
or otherwise"
Before Mr. Heney could read his
affidavits counsel for Ruef asked for
an adjournment OF court to enable the
defense TO examine the affidavlts of
the prosecution to determine whether
they required the filing OF other affi-
davits In answer.
Mr.. Heney opposed this motion on
the ground that allegations OF preiu.
dice on the part Of trial Judge consti.
tuted summary proceeding.
Judge Dunno then denied the motion
for a change OF trial judge and ordered
the Impeachment of the Rnef jury 10
be begun.
Two names had been called wnen
the proceedings came TO d sudder
stop. 1t was found that one talesmah
had been temporarily excused by the
court. The defense objected TO the
drawing of any further names from
the jury box until the absent talesman
shall be present. Judge Dunno then
adjourned court until Monday.
