Bigamy Swears He is Not the
Man-Other Cases.

The task of selecting twelve men
to pass on the innocence or guilt of
w. D. Dixon, who will be tried for
first degree murder, was begun at
2:3O p. M today in Robson Superior
Court. A special venire Of 100 men
was summoned from which the jury
will be picked. Dixon is charged with
killing Alfred Thomas, Indian, at
Pembroke and he pleads not guilty of

Wilson, is presiding.
Dixon is represented by the follow
ing attorpenys: Mclean, Varser &
Mclean, Britt & Britt, H. E. Stacey

Solicitor S. B. Mclean will be as
sisted in the prosecution by Mc1n-

Five days out we ran into a squat

even had horses on the decks In
wooden stalls. The ship was lurching
and pitching, and huge seas would
burst over the gunwales.
Several of the wooden stalls gave
way and the horses were loose on the
deck. With every lurch of the ship
a couple of horses would fall, and,
kicking and snorting, would slide down
the inclined deck, hitting against
winches and the hatchway, scraping
their hides off. 1t was worth mans
life to get into that mess.

heap, the blood pouring from his nose,
mouth and the wound below his ear.
Upon hearing this shrek several of
the men leading their horses, in their
fright turned them loose, and there was
mad stampede on the deck.
The pasty-faced horseman, whom ]
had helped out little while before in
the argument about his bunk was
standing near the runway, holding on
to a horse He turned his horse loose
and rushed to the bloody mass, which
was twitching with convulsive shud-
ders. The foreman. on seeing this ac-
cident. snapped out long string of
curses, which almost froZe my heart.
