v ner's jury holding them responsible for,
the death of Martin L. Bowers, have been
removed from their large and roomy

however, permitted the freedom of the

. matlon came today In a letter to Mra
. Maria L. Jones from Al Loomis, her
i son. who went to. San Francisco last
week to lend assistance to her sisters.
- The letter. In part, follows;

The residents of Alblna are up in
arms against the firebug. During the1
past, two months eight new residences
nave been destroyed in AlDln ty an In

at Rodney avenue and Fargo streets
were burned while in the last two nights
three ft res have been started. '
As The Journal told yesterdsy, an at

at Wlliams avenue and Russell street
yesterday and the lives of several per
sons were In Jenpsrdy, a second blase
was started at the rear of Frlts's gro
cery store at Union avenue and Fre
mont street and while the firemen were
extinguishing this a third was -discovered
in a woodshed at tha rear Of the
home of Mrs. MI. Oants, 43i Fremont
street, a block away.'
A second attempt was made at 11:39

same place as the blase' of the night be
fore was started that of this morning
was discovered. In both Instances coal
oil ' was poured over a heap of light
wood. .
With a companion, John Tost of 747
East . Eighth street, was on his way
home between. 13 and 1 o'clock this
morning. As they passed the. Oants
home 'they, wera discussing the firebug.
Suddenly they saw a spark outside Mra

"Tour shed Is on fire," they called to
Mrs. Oants. "Give us a bucket."
The young men secured ,a pall and

gained any headway. "
Although they were not more than 20

diary that she did not sleep. A few-
minutes before the blase wss discovered
she hesrd a suspicious whistle. It was
not that of a bird and Its note .was so
unusual as to attract her attention.
This fsct leads to the supposition
that two men are engaged in the arson.
It is probable that one of them acted
as a watch. When he saw ost and his
friend approaching he gave the signal
and the pair made haste to get away. .
Following the second fire Mrs. Qants's
son, I B. Cusick, sat up watching the
place. He armed himself with a shotgun.-

Chief of-Police Hunt detailed an of
ficer In plain clothes last night to patrol
the scene of Monday morning's fire,. He
arrived at the Oants home t lew mln

incendiary. v
The consensus of opinion among AI
blna residents Is that the guilty per
sons reside In the neighborhood.
There is considerable 1 dissatisfaction
among the mounted patrolmen because
of Chief Hunt s .strict orders that they
purchase new suits for winter wear.
Thr command from tne cniers sane-,
turn Is that all officers buy new uni
forms for the coming cold weather.
These are to be of heavier material- than

WTPE KTJUDEBEB) MEETS DOOM
New Tork, Sept. S. Patrick Conklln
was electrocuted at Sing Sing this morn
ing for the murder of his wife a year
ago.
Reports of suffering on the Copper
river trail and the rumor that more
than 200 men are in peril of their lives
unless succor Is soon sent them, are
denied by Q. M. Love of Fort Gib
bons, Alaska, who Is In Portland. "Why,
I never hesrd of hardships in the Tanana
district until I reached Portland, al
though I am Just from that part of
the North."
A story that a party of 200 gold
hunters that started from the coast to
the Tanana diggings in February and
is still wandering in the wilderness
without provisions, came from Alaska a
short time ago and it was further re
ported that Captain Oerhardt, command
ing officer at Fort Gibbons, had asked
the war department that he' be alfowed
to fit out a relief expedition. -
I left the Tanana last July 21." hs
said, "and up to that time had heard
nothing of any such suffering, I have
been post butcher at Fort Gibbons for
the last three years and am Intimately
acquainted ' with the commanding of
ficer. Futhermore, I have Just re
ceived a letter from my wife who is
there and she said nothing about any
relief expedition."
Plenty of Provisions
The Tanana district is full of pro
mimmm$ r&:r;Eo-ra! and tha
weather is such that travelers would ex
perlence no perils because of the cold.
Last March there was a great rush of
gold hunters into the Tanana country
because of the reported richness of
mines about 300 miles up the river.
went into the new diggings." said Mr.
Love, -"and, although &rub was short at
the time no serious results followed.
as soon as the first boats got up the
river there wss plenty for. everyone.
The country is full of people and sup
plies, and while I don't ktow that the
men are not in the condition reported
feel sure I would have "heard some
thing about them.
'It is true that a great number ot
prospectors perished on the Copper
river trail in 1898 during the first rush,
but conditions were much dtfferent
then."
Biches Proved Mythical
The Tanana district to which the
miners flocked last spring is about 400
miles' north of Dawson. A Japanese,
known as "Jap Pete," was reported to
have a claim that itself was worth
4.000,000. At once a rush began from
11 parts of Alanka and about 4.000 pros
pectors hurried toward the New El
Dorado. The fabulous richness of the
district proved a myth.
The party supposed to have met with
misfortune on the Copper river trail
consisted of about 400 . Tnen. Several
were reported ns having lost their lives
nd at least 200 were said to never
have reached their destination.
Mr. Love said this afternoon that it
was easy enough for a man to suffer
hardships in Alaska during the cold
weather if he did not take care of him
self. -
"But It is ifs a rule unnecessary,"
he said. "I made a trip of. 800 miles
over the ice this spring and thought
nothing of it. I knew of a man who
tried to travel after Tils feet were wet
and both of his lower limbs were so
badly frozen before he had gone four
miles thst they had to be amputated.
Had he stopped 'and put on dry stock
ings at once he would have, suffered
no inconvenience."
Mr. Love Is on his way back to the
Tanana. He speaks In blowing terms
of Alaska and says that the territory in
general is nothing of the wild country
that it Was four -years ago.

"However, the chief has spoken. He
has told the mounted men that he does
not believe the summer clothes will do.
Another argument used by the
mounted patrolmen Is that their sum
mer suits cannot be worn another hot
season and consequently they will be.
out so much. In either event they will
have to provide themselves with new
suits next spring.

president next year' said H. C. Wort
man of Olds, Wortman & King this
morning1. Mr. Wortman - has just Re
turned from a trip to New Tork and
while in the Empire City he heard a4
great deal about national politics.
The nomination of Roosevelt, he
said, "is a foregone conclusion. The
trusts may fight htm, but, in my opinion,
they will not dare to maka a move
against him.
'The principal political questions In
the East now, seem to be, who will be
the republican nominee for vice-presi
dent and the democratic candidate xor
president? I heard many mentioned as
companion to Roosevelt, but none, of
them seemed to have any chance of
getting the nomination. For the presl
dency Cleveland is strongly In favor
with many ' New York democrat, but
Is opposed by many more on the 'third
term proposition, vv. K. Hearst was
spoken of both for tho presidential and
vlpe-presidentlal nominations, and I be
lleve he will have a strong following
in the convention.
Outsldo of politics there was little
doing in the East beyond the usual
summer's business. .The flurry, in Wall
street wss simply a tight between stpek
brokers and had ho effect on legitimate
business. In Chicago 'there was a stag
nation of business due to the long strike
that does not seem likely to be settled
soon."
