VALDEZ, Jan. 8. - The impression
seeming to prevail in the interior
that Judge Lyons eulogized Barnette
in passing sentence upon him is no
| in accordance with the facts. Judge
Lyons merely referred to certain
portions of Barnette's statement
which were not included in the orig
| inal trial by jury and which had
bearing upon the intent OF Barnette
in signing the false report Judge
| Lyons holds the confidence of this
entire community.
TRY TO BRIGHTEN TRAVELLERS.
VALDEZ, Jan. s. That ali eff
fort is being made to brighten tray
elers into avoiding the overland
trail between this city and Willow
creek is indicated by the reports
which have been circulated on the
! coast relative to the condition of the
highway. The false report has been
emphatically denied by Valdezians,
who brand the story as Il malicious
lie.
The conditions OF that portion OF
the trail in question is as good now
as it has been at any time since
the commencement of the overland
travel from the Interior, and regu-
lar trips are being made by the Me
Intosh stages which run between this
city and Willow creek.
NATIVE UPRISING.
SEWARD, via Seattle, Jan. S.
Reports received here from Cook
! inlet state that the natives in that
region have gone on the warpath,
and that the lives of the teachers
of the government schools at T!o
nok and Beluga are seriously threat
ened
The meager details of the out
break which have reached this city
do not account for the sudden up
rising, but it is stated that both
the teachers and the missionaries
in that locality have been compelled
to flee for their lives.
NOME UP IN ARMS.
