death at Fairbanks, Judge Bunnell said that he could not say what the outcome might be. He knows that Segura did not hang on the date set for his execution, and he is aware that the stay of execution was granted by the governor, but beyond that he says he is not in a position to discuss the case. The action of the governor, he says, was somewhat in the nature of a sur- prise to him, as he was not aware that the governor of a territory had authority to interfere in such cases.
 Returning from the East, the judge came by way of New Orleans, where he visited with relatives. He came North on the Steamer Admiral Watson and made the trip over the trail on the Cooney dog stage. He left for Fairbanks this afternoon, accompanied by Clerk of the Court H. Claude Kelly, who came to Ne mana yesterday to meet him.

JUDGE BUNNELL RETURNS
 TO HOLD TERM OF COURT

District Judge Charles E. Bunnell, who was summoned to Washington last fall by the department of justice in connection with the proposal to establish new boundaries to the Second, Third and Fourth divisions where they meet on the lower Yukon river, returned from the East on last nights train, enroute to Fair banks to open the regular winter term of court, called for February 23.
 The judge found. upon arrival at Washington, that a movement had been initiated, in the form of bill introduced by Senator Knut Nelson, of Minnesota, to change the bound aries in such a manner that practi- cally all of the Kuskokwim valley would become part of the Second division, thus making it necessary for mining men at McGrath and in other parts of the district to travel all the way to Nome to transact business with recording office and court. Judge Bunnell explained the unwisdom of such a move and, at his suggestion, substitute measure was prepared, placing all the Kusko- kwim country in the Fourth division, where it properly belongs. At pres ent, the big valley forms part of the three divisions.
 The judge appeared before the sub-judiciary committee of the sen- ate and was given the opportunity to defend himself against the charg. es preferred in an effort to prevent his confirmation. The judge believes he successfully refuted the charges but he is not so sure that favorable action on his nomination will be taken before the adjournment o1 Congress.
 Judge Bunnell found members O, Congress and the heads of various of the departments much interested in Alaska and eager to learn about conditions and needed reforms.
