Territory for at least five years, in stead of the present one-year re- quircment.
 To definitely outline a require ment that has been handled as n matter of policy by the Commission, and over which there has been con- siderable controverSey, the Com missions regulations requiring the employment of guides by non-resi- dent hunters has been changed to provide that a guide may accom- pany only one hunter into the field unless it be man and wife or a parent and minor child.
 This regulation has also been en- larged to provide that non-resi- dents pursuing large brown or grizzly bears for the purpose of photographing them must be ac- companied by registered guide. The Commission believes this pre- caution necessary to safeguard the lives of Cheechaco photographers who are not familiar with the dan ger of too close contact with these formidable animals.
 With the increasing traffic of automobiles passing through game regions and the shooting at game from swiftly moving cars, the Com mission has recommended that the shooting of game from a motor ve- hicle be prohibited. This is to not only prevent the wounding of game which in many cases escape to die later, but as a measure of precau- tio nto prevent ia tai accidents which are sure to result if thought less and careless people continue to shoot indiscriminately from nov ing automobile. Several near acci- dents of this nature have been re- ported to the Commission during the past year.
 The new Game Law Circular No. g will be printed early in 1882 and in accordance with the previous practice, mailed to all licensees of the previous year as well as many other individuals whose names ap- pear on the Commissions mailing list. The circulars will also be avail able for distribution at the offices of the Wardens, Game Commission CTS and Licensing Officers in prac- tically every town in the Territory.
 Development work at the Fern mine, in the Willow Creek district, which has been underway during the last season, has been suspend ed for the winter, according to re- ports received by the Anchorage Times.
 An outbreak of diphtheria at Tanana recently resulted in the sending of antitoxin from Fair banks by airplane to guard against a spread of the disease, reports the Fairbanks News Miner.

RAN, FELL ON
BED, AFTER
QUARREL
Inquest Recess Fails to Aid
Police in Checking Clues;
Bargfrede Given Freedom

Beulah Limerick was not
murdered in her bed as she
slept. She was shot in the
kitchen of her home, then
turned and ran, collapsing on
the bed.
This was the new theory 5affled
Investigators were working on to
day as they admitted that they
had been unable to shatter the
stories told by the suspects held
In the case, now in its third week.
This new picture of the murder
conforms with the discovery by
Policeman Robert F. LangdOn of
an empty .25-Caliber pistol shell in
. coffee cup in the kitchen Of the
home. Here is how investigators
reconstruct the crime:
The girl was in the kitchen of
the little house at 18 Nineteenth
st. 8. r. some time after 4 o'clock
the morning of December 81, talk
ing with the murderer. A quarrel
ensued and the murderer whipped
out . pistol.
Ran After Being Shot
One shot was fired, striking
the girl back Of the ear. AS the
gun exploded it elected. an empty
shell into the coffee cup on the
table and pumped = fresh shell
into the chamber.
The girl WHEELED around and
ran from the kitchen, the raur-
derer in pursuit.
She staggered to her bed and
fell ON it, pulling the covers up
around her head.
The murderer stood over the
bed and fired q second shot.
This bullet missed the girl, pass
ing through the mattress and
entering the floor beneath the
bed.
Policeman Langdon also dis
covered this bullet.
Then Fled from MOUSE
The shell from this second shot
was elected from the pistol and
felI by the stove where it was
later fOund by police.
Fearing that the two shots
might arouse the neighbOrhoou,
the murderer then fled, after OBJ
serving that his first shot would
prove fatal.
Doctors hold that this new
theory is perfectly plausible,
pointing out that the small bullet
would not cause instant death.
Medical records show hundreds
Of cases of persons shot in the
brain who have lived some time
after receiving the wound.

his cell to confront his mother.
She begged him to tell police
all he knew about the case, but
he insisted that he has told all.
Police sent him back to the cell
where he has been held since
the murder was discovered.
Shortly after that they released
the mother and sister.
Reed Given New Quiz
Both Mrs. Bargfrede and her
husband insist that they were
told by Mrs. Ethel Limerick,
sister-in-law Of the slain girl,
that q gun had been found in the
stove Of the room where she was
shot.
Ethel Limerick and Mrs. Dora
Limerick deny that any such
statement was made.
Earl Reed, described by mem
bers Of the family rs "just like
q brother to BeuIah," but who,
police say has admitted living
with her as man and wife, was
also subjected to another grilling
last night.
Reed was questioned ut length
concerning quarreIs told by the
dead girl in her diary.
He admitted quarreling with
her, hut stated that the cause
was the untidiness Of the house.
He still sticks to his story that
he entered her room about 4:45
the morning Of the murder to
put coal on the stove. He found
Beulah asleep in bed, her face
to the wall and her head COW
cred with blankets.
Still Another Clue
Police were unable to shake
his story in the slightest detail
last night, and be was returned
to his cell.
Another clue being investigated
by detectives was a report that
taxicab driver known as Mac"
had, been in love with Beulah
and wanted her to marry him.
After she refused him MAC"
left Washington for Philadelphia,
returning shortly before the New
Year holiday.
Friends Of the slain girl who
saw him say that he acted pc
culiarIy following the discovery
of the murder and 48 hours later
returned to Philadelphia.
Mac" owned a small pistol and
often displayed it while intoxi-
Gated, it was said.
1t was also reported to police
that MAC" had threatened to
shoot Vernon Limerick, who, he
claimed, had robbed him ut the
point Of . revolver Of his days

suspicion in the case. Members
of the Limerick family told police
that Beulah feared" Langdon
who had prosecuted her since
she moved to the Nineteenth
Street house.
LangdOn, who admits going
around the house late ut night
and flashing his light in the
windows, declares that he did it
in order to get evidence to have
the place raided.
His testimony is supported by
that of Martha Bargfrede who
stated that Beulah told her she
was afraid "the cop on the beat"
was going to raid them for boot
Logging and for that reason she
was going to move.
