AFTER HARD EXPERIENCE.

August on Nunivak island arrived on
the Santa Ana and are now being
kept by the government which has in
structed Deputy Marshal Evans to
send them to Seattle The men spent

in any games that getting the best
team to travel is one of the problems
that have never been solved. In spite
of their defeats the visitors played
gamely to the last and kept up their
courage all the time. Darlington was
too much for them on the first day
and Nickerson on the second. The
formers balls must have looked to
them like that government railroad
terminal for Cordova, or less, and he
performed the unprecedented feat for
Alaska of pitching a no-hit game.
The other events of sporting kind
were we'll contested and of an un-
usually high order for athletic meets
of the sort. The mountain Marathon
is a contest which ought to become al
most as famous as the Alaska Sweep
stakes. The time in which the race
was run to the top of steep mount
ain, nearly 5000 feet high, and return
was nothing short of extraordinary.
The time for the sprints was very
creditable, almost incredible when the
conditions are taken into considera-
tion. Howard made fine runner up
to Anderson and might have done bet
ter had he been quick enough OF
lucky enough at the get off.
The parade of the children yester-
day morning was a very pretty event
engineered by Rev. Mr.. Cook. The
little floats were exceedingly "cute'
and the whole affair was very, very
nice.

HOLT MAY HAVE
PLACED BOMB
MAN WHO SHOT PIERPONT NOR
GAN Is FAST GAINING MNS-
STERIOUS QUALITIES.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The
shooting Of Pierpont Morgan and the
explosion i'm the reception room of the
cap.to, building are two facts which
are now becoming associated in the
public mind. Some people see ir the
two occurrences either a connection or
matters which are related by their as
sociation with one particular fact, and
that is the war. 1t has been learned
that Holt. who shot Morgan, planned
going to Morgan and compelling him
to send word to have the expectation
Of munitions stopped. He even intend
ed to hold the other members Of the
Morgan family as hostages and make
the maguate himself go with the ap-
peal to stop the expectation Of muni-
tions. 1t has been learned from Har-
ward that Holt resembles a Harvard
professor named Erjdh Muenter who
disappeared in 1906 after having
poisoned his wife. A letter has been
received by the members of the cabin
ct which was mailed one hour before
the explosion in the reception room Of
the capitol and in which the threat
was made that unless the Unitec
States government stopped the trans
portation of munitions of war the
capitol would be blown up.
