 MRS. ]. ). REACH

St. Matthew's church was filled yesterday by friends assembled to honor the memory of Mrs. J. D.
 Reagh, who passed out in Seattle few weeks ago.
 Rev. H. H. Lumpkin, after few words of welcome to those assem-
 bled to participate in the service.
 paid a beautiful tribute to the memory of Mrs. Reagh During the course of his address he said that sweet and gracious womanhood was an asset to any country. and per
 haps more especially in this isolat
 ed Northland. That 1t was not nee
 essary to speak any fulsome words of flattery and praise-her life spoke
 for itself. To put her character
 briefly into words 1t could be sum
 med up as one of unostentatious
 thoughtfulness, and that thoughtful
 ness makes the beauty of life In
 concluding MT. Lumpkin said:
 Our gathering here Is a witness
 to our faith that our friend is not
 indeed dead Her visible form has passed but her life, the real ana living friend, lives on in God : kingdom fore CT and forever, an1 there completes the life which here vas but begun" The following was the order of the
 ;ervice;

 The case of the United States vs. c. Myers, the defendant in which was indicted for obtaining goods and money from various business people of Tarana under false pre- lenses, ended Saturday afternoon when the jury sitting on the case ! found Myers guilty. The trial took | up two days of the courts time Tie principal defense offered by At torney L R. Gillette, who was ap- l pointed by the court to represent 1 the defendant, was insanity, Myers i having been committed to the in sane asylum shortly after the com ! mission of the crimes at Panama. i He was taken Outside by United ] States Marshal Erwin last May, but escaped from the sanitarium He made his way back to Alaska, was arrested on another charge and sub sequently was brought to the federal jail here and held for trial. During , the trial which ended Saturday it was brought out that Myers had i been very useful to Marshal Erwin | on the trip Outside last May, hay l ing. although supposed to be insane, acted in the capacity of a kind of valet Whether he was insane or not was the practical question at issue during the trial, but Marshal Erwin testified on the stand to the effect that, in his opinion, the man vas perfectly sane.
 The trial was enlivened by con siderable wrangling between attor- neys Attorney Gillette's address to the jury was particularly interesting i to the spectators in the court room, IS he assumed the role of a Jewish impersonator when he told of some of the evidence offered and of let l ters written and statements made by the defendant since be has been n jail.

The coming week in district court, starting this morning. promises to be the most sensational ever known in the court anna s of this camp for the reason that three rape cases arC slated for trial. 1t is impoSsI- ble to state at this time whether or not all will be completed during the week, b,!t as it is expected that the defense in each case, aa well as the prosecution, will take ID considerable time in the intro duction of testimony, it is thought probable that two of the cases, at the most, will be all which will be finished.
 The case against w. H. Wooldridgo starts this morning That against Robert Jones is slated to follow the Woodbridge trial. while the Dan Callahan case will be tried last
 No Arrests Made.
 No arrests have yet been made on the bench warrants issued last week upon the secret indictments returned by the grand jury. Cues toned in this regard on Saturday the district attorney said he coult not state just when those charged in the indictments with commission of crime would be arrested but he gave the assurance that none o1 the defendants would be taken into custody before today
 There are six secret indictment. where no arrests have been made The first was returned during th' earlier days of the session of tht grand jury. In ordering the bencf warrant issued but withheld iron service at the request of the dis trict attorney Judge Charles F Bunnell placed the bail in this case at $25O0. He has also or dered that the defendants mentioned in four of the other indictments returned last week be held withOu bail when arrested, and that the defendant in the fifth be given hi liberty under bonds of $5000.
 There has been considerable spec ulation about Fairbanks as to whc the last five indictments are against Many of those interested are also questioning the right of the dis trict attorney to hold the warrants without serving them, but that is provided for by law.
 Sentence Day Next Saturday. Next Saturday will be sentence day in district court. For Judge Bunnell has announced that he vii pronounce sentence on several O the parties wlo have either pleadeG guilty to the offenses charged 1T the indictments returned agains them or have been found guilty by juries.
