The information al- Ieges this he murdered his wife, Mrs Hisa Yoshioka, at or near their home on their fox ranch back of West Dawson on or about Sunday, June 2.

The physicians testified that death was caused by rifle buIelt which entered the back and penetrated the heart and passed through the body.-Dawson News.

NEW PARLOR CARS ,.,
 ON WRITE PASS TRAIN

Train No. 1, of the White Pass 6 Yukon route presented very fine appearance as it steamed up Broad way this morning with it's load of eighty five passengers, most to whom were tourists from the Steam ship Prince George. One brand new parlor car, and a second one which was wearing new coat of paint, together with two regular coaches, which have just come out of the shops, and the baggage and mail coach made up the trainn.
 The parlor cars are the product Of the W. P. shops here, and are up to the minute in every appoint ment, from the comfortable porta- ble armchairs to the writing desk and awning protected observation platforms. The windows of these Ears arc extraordinarily large and the glass is exceptionally clear, thus providing the passengers the unOb- structed view of the grandeur of the scenery along the route of this fan ous road.
 While this train may not be as heavy as those of some of the trans cont'Dental lines, 1t will compare faTorably with them from stand point of comfort, appearance and
 
 safety.

concerned, only few minor brushes
between rebels and Government forces
being reported from isolated places.
With Ciego de Avila in its hands and
