THE Evauine GAZETT BOINAY’S OWN STORY. (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) “I came out and then Dave called my attention to the pantry window which was open. in the window. I went first; he fol- lowed. We lit matches and looked for a lamp. There was none in the dining room and from there we went into the . sitting room. I found a piece of can- die. “I lighted it and going into the pan- try found a pie and brought it out. We sat at the table and ate the pie and drank the cider. front stairs and as we did heard con- siderable noise. I heard Mr. Nichols say there must be someone in the house. Miss Nichols said:‘ ‘Get up Marcus and get your gun.’ Then we heard someone pounding on the_ floor. It sounded as if agun was being loaded. “I said to Dave lets get out of this. We retreated through the back door and went over to the shed. I said: ‘I wonder if he did have a gun 1” Dave replied: ‘Let’s go and see.’ Mr. N ich~ ols came out with a lantern and looked around. He saw nothing to disturb him and went back again. We then went around to the'south side of the house. We couldn’t see through the windows as the curtains were drawn. We looked in the door and saw them sitting in the dining room near the table. “We both placed our shoulders against the door and broke it in. I had my left hand 0n the knob and had a re- The door gave 'way easier than we expected. I stag- gered into the room, Mr. Nichols ex- claimed: ‘Get out of here.’ We hol- lered: ‘Throw up your hands.’ The lantern was by Mr. Nichols and he came'over and brought it down on my head. It staggered me for aminute and I dropped my revolver. At the very instant the lantern came down Dave Weeks fired a shot and followed I was. stunned for a volver in my right. it by a second. minute. You can see ythe scar where the blow Struck me. ” ".toward} the jury and pointed to a soar on his '.'head In closing the direct examination, Attorney Lynch asked him, “In com- mission of all your crimes did you ever Boinay leaned shoot any one ?” to which the prisoner, replied “No,” most emphatically. And to another question he replied that he did not shoot or fire a revolver on the night of the Nichols murder and that it was understood between Weeks and himself that there was to be no shooting. The direct examination was closed at 4.28. Many minor points in the testimony of Weeks and Mrs. Boi- nay were corroborated by the prisoner. Apart from his accusing Weeks of fir- ing the fatal shot, the most surprising portion of his evidence was asserting that his wife joined his mother-in-law in the request to give up his idea of being a missionary and that there was more money in “poaching” and it was only to their importunities that he yielded. Boinay next told this stcry of h1s wan- derings from the da’y fl ithje murder down to the time of his arrest, and was then turned over to Mr. Fessenden for cross-examination, but the hour being late the trial was adjourned until to- . day after Mr. Fessenden had asked him one or two questiOns bearing upon his .past life. —-Live Merchan '_:'_keep their name: before the, Public, rAn Advertisement in THE GAZETTE will be read. kKYOURHORSESHOEII fibRTHE It ABSOLTITETY prevents slipping, and insures perfect safety and comfortto horse and drive Shed with the “ Neverslip' " your horse's feet are always in good con ition—keptlo b not having to constantly remove the sons for sharpening.

Ice Sleds with Sails. ‘ Port Townsend, Wash., Dec. 15.—The steamer Alki. arrived yesterday with forty passengers, nearly all of Whom are from Dyea, Skaguay or Sumdum. There was but one man—Hearn—from Dawson City. He and seven others left Dawson two days after Jack Dalton’s party, but six of the crowd turned Forty back after ten days’ travel up the . river, and Hearn and one other man came on to Juneau, via. Chilkoot Pass. Hearn came on south, leaving his part» nor in Juneau. ' He has nothing to report from Daw- son in addition to news brought out by .Dalton’s party. He confirms the re- port that food is very scarce, and that there will be suffering there unless provisions arrive by the middle of Feb- ruary. Hearn is from Colorado. He owns a claim in the rich group on B0- nanza Creek, but he has not worked it. He expects to return in the, Spring. Packing over Skaguay trail has been resumed, the pass being reported in good condition. Forty tons of provis- ions were started over the pass the day 'the steamer left Skaguay, which was Dec. 8. The coldest weather experienced at Skaguay and Dyea. this Winter was 54 degrees below zero. A. C. Sands, superintendent of the Northwest- division of the Sunset Tele- phone Company, sailed on the Alki from Skaguay and Dyea,;whither he went several weeks ago to look over the field with a view of constructing a. line over the pass. “I shall certainly report to my com- pany favorably,” said he,‘ ‘on the plan of constructing a telephone line. from Sheep Camp to Lake Bennett, and pos- sibly recommend that a line be estab- lished from Skaguay to Lake Bennett over theWhite Pass. Both are destined to be busy thoroughfares, not only dur- ing next season, but for several seasons to come.” Sail Sleds with Supplies. Seattle, “lash, Dec. 15. — Moran Brothers have made the announcement that all details had been completed for the construction of sixteen river steam- ers for the Yukon Company. Next week the framing of the hulls will be commenced, for which forty acres of tide lands have been leased. Within two weeks 1,200 men will be at work. The steamers Will be completed and towed to the mouth of the Yukon by the time the river opens for navigation. The contract price is $1,000,000. 0n the City of Seattle, which sailed Monday night for Dyea and Skaguay, Alaska, were 275 passengers, including Dr. William C. Misener, of San Fran- cisco, who will attempt to reach Daw- son City this W'lnter with supplies. He is taking with him a. large sled equip- ped with a sail for the purpose of crossing the ice.‘ The sled will carry about two ions. At Dyea Dr. Misener will be joined by his two brothers, who have already en.. ged dogs and Indians f01 the overland lilp. The story that 11 Indian named Auk had come out from Dawson City, b1 mg,- ing the news that a, large number of people were fleeing from Dawson is generally discredited here. G. W 'Wood and other arrivals from Juneau say Auk’s answers to questions indicate he did not come from Dawson. Dogs for the Klondike. New York, Dec. 15.—The steamship British King, which arrived here yes- terday from Antwerp, brought a con-- .signment of seventy Eskimo dogs. They are to be 'shlpped to'the Yukon, where they will be used in the transportation of supplies by sledges over the moun- tains to the Klondike. The consign- ment is the first of the kind that has ever been received in this city. It is understood that the dogs are the prop— erty of a. San Francisco corporation. GUARD FOR DURRANT’S PASTOR. Police Believe that the Life of the Rev. Dr. Glbson Is In Danger. San Francisco. Dec. 15.—A local pa- per says the police and the people of Emanuel Baptist Church believe that the life of the Rev. George Gibson, Theodore Durrant’s former pastor, in danger. The police have warned the reverend gentleman to protect himself against the possibility of harm. The warning has been heeded and Dr. Gibson is protected night and day. One of the members of his congrega- tion has volunteered his services as bodyguard, and the police will detail ' an officer to attend every public ser- vice at Emanuel Church. Since the murder of Blanche Lamont in the church many attempts have been made to cast suspicion on the pas— tor, and. his refusal to be drawn into the case, even as Durrnnt'l spiritual adviser, has caused some comment. Chief Lees, who made a most careful study of both murders, says there is not a single clew connecting the clergy- ' man with either the Minnie Williams or the Blanche Lamont murder This comes with all the more force from- Lees, as he started in with a strong prejudice against Mr. Gibson because of his efforts. to suppress the facts and exclude reporters from gaining infor- mation about the crimes. Durrant will be resentenced to-day and it is believed Feb. 7 will be fixed as the date of execution. $60,000 ham In New York: New York, Dec. 15.—Hamburg, the racehorse for whom it is said $60,000 was paid a few days ago in Kentucky, arrived in Jersey City over the Penn- . sylvani-a Railroad yesterday. He was in a special car and was accompanied by another rear. The car was imme- diately transferred to a. float and shipped to Ulmer Park, near Coney Isl~ and, where Hamburg will be kept at Lakelend’s stables. ' Kansas Pacino Sale Postponed. St. Louis, Mo., -Dec. 15.—Judge San- born has granted the request of the Government for a. continuance for sixty days of. the sale of the Kansas Pacific. This will make the date Feb. 15. The extension was granted to en- able Congress to take further action to protect the Government’s interest of about thirte°en million dollars in the property.. American Ship Seized. Ottawa, Ont., Dec. 15.—The seizure of an American schooner by the Canadian cruiser Osprey has been reported. The schooner’s name has not been divulged. but it has, it is stated, been on the blacklist for some time, having put intc Lockport, N. S., for repairs and sailed again without reporting. 1 is.

' That is exactly what Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is- good for. Rev. I. W. Hill, pastor of the M. E. Church at West Almond, N. Y. , some years ago suffered with a cancer of long standing on the lip and concluded to have it removed. About three weeks before the operation he purchased Dr. David Kennedy’ 5 Favor-'- ite Remedy, and continued taking it for some time after the cancer was removed. Ten long years'have passed since then, and no trace of the ugly thing has returned. This wonderful medicine acts as a nerve and blood foOd. It makes permanent cures of Nervous. Debility, Sleeplessness, Dyspepsia, ‘Rheumatism and all W’omen’s Weaknesses. It restores the disordered liver to a healthy condition and cures constipation. 81 a bottle at druggists’.
