SEWARD COMES WITH: HORSES
Also Brings Gasos.ne, Powder and General Freioht-Will Take
 Ore South.

The steam freighter Seward, in command of Captain Jensen, reached Valdez Saturday night at 10 o'clock and left for the westward at 4 o'clock Sunday morning.
 The Seward brought powder, gas oline and general merchandise and also eleven horses for w. A. Black, the Nome freighter, who is to enter the freighting business from Valdez to the Nelchina and Chisana camps. One horse died on the trip up. For 72 hours the ship lay to be- tween Icy straits and Hinchinbrook because Captain Jensen did not want to force the ship through the storm, as the horses would all have been badly crippled or killed from the roll ing of the ship: Ten of the horses are in excellent condition and are be- ing used today by MT. Black, who is preparing to leave. for the interior in a few days.
 The freighter will take a capacity load of ore from Latouche, Ellamar and Cordova on her trip down to be delivered to the Tacoma smelter.

In spite of the enthusiasm in North
west business circles which the sug-
gestion of James J. Hill of st. Paul
for secretary of agriculture in
President Elect Wilson's cabinet re-
ceived, it is probable that the builder
Of the Great Northern railway system
would not accept the Office should the
appointment be made.
1T would be >ungrateful to decline
the honor" said Mr.. Hill, but I could
not consider appointment to public
odice."
Although the st. Paul fnancier un-
doubtedly feels that his duties in the
railway field and the exactions of his
recent connections in Twin City bank
ing circles prohibit his entrance into
public life, the favor which has been
accorded the movement is unabated.

sound beating to Ernest Found

had refused to marry him and then
turned him over to the police.
Found went to the girls room, after
arming himself, and for the seventh
time in as many days asked her to
become his wife, adding: IF you say
no we both go together" At the same
time he pulled revolver and ex-
planned that unless his suit was sue
cessful he intended to kill her and
himself.
The girl again refused and as he
raised the gun she landed stiff right
on the point of his chin, ungallantly
kicked him after he went down and
took the revolver away. Then she
called the police.

SAD SCENES. IN COURTROOM j
Wives and Children: of Defendants
ii Break Down When Jury Makes
t. Known Its Findings.

Indianapolis, Dec. 29.-Weepine
women and wondering children looked
on while thirty-eight labor union off,
cials were led, handcuhed, to the Ma.
rion county Jail, after they had been
pronounced guilty of completely In
the Mcnamara dynamite plots, includ.
ing the blowing up of the Los Ange.
les Times building Oct. /, 1910.
Only two of the forty men on trial
left the courtroom free men. They
were Herman G. Seiffert of Milwau'
kee and Daniel Buckley of Daven'
port, Ia.
The verdicts came after trial last
ing more than three months and after
the jury had deliberated on its find
ings for more than forty hours. ORA
matte scenes accompanied the pre-
sentation of the verdicts, which were
received in deep silence, broken only
by suppressed sobbing of the wives OF
the convicted men.
All those adjudged guilty were
found guilty on all the counts az
charged in the indictments.
After Judge Anderson had cleared
the courtroom of all spectators and
the families of the defendants the
thirty-eight prisoners were taken II
custody by deputy United States mar
shals and special detectives and were
taken to the Marion county jail.
Not Accused Of Dynamiting.
The men were not charged actually
with causing explosions. The only
charges under which they could be
prosecuted by the federal government
were conspiracy and illegal transpor.
tation of explosives. But the court
ruled that evidence as to violence was
competent as showing motive.
II am not ready to believe that or.
ganized labor yet stands for the
things that have been shown here d
was one of Judge Anderson's state
ments to the jury. "This is not a
trial of labor unions, but of union Off.
c1als accused of wrongdoing."
Immense crowds assembled in the
streets about the federal building
when the verdicts were being re-
turned and when the prisoners were
brought out, each handcuffed between
two deputy marshals, the street be-
came so clogged that police had to
force the people back.
