‘ Critical Situation of the Government Rep
resentative in the . Yukon Countrym
Troops to Leave for Alaska-Jlore Com-
panies in Readiness.
Washington, Feb. 10.—E. Hazard
Wells, the special courier who brought
Captain Ray’s dispatches from the Yu-
kon, reached Washington ~ Tuesday
night. He said:
“I cannot properly say anything as
to Captain Ray’ s report, but I can say
that I left him in a rather critical po-
sition,.and the sooner the Government
gets support in to him the better. Cap-
tain Ray has only one man with him
Lieutenant Richardson. They reached
Fort Yukon somewhat ahead of a. mob
of eighty and a hundred of the tough-
est' men that could be picked out of
Dawson, and when I left the Captain
he was standing off this mob from the
provision caches largely by virtue of a
small American flag and his own mag-
nificent nerve. .
“When the food panic struck Dawson
this mob of toughs left for Fort Yukon,
knowing that the Weare Company and
. the Alaska Commercial Company each
had a cache of provisions there. The
Dawson men intended to appropiiate
these supplies and let the rest of the
camp shift for itself. Captain Ray
learned of this and he posted himseli
at one end of the cache, while Lieuten-
ant Richardson guarded the other. They
were in uniform and had two small
'American flags.' The mob tackled the
Captain first and ordered him to give
up. He refused, and for a time it
looked as if there would be shooting,
but between the uniform and the flag
the mob was overawed. '
“One thing cannot be too strongly
impressed on those who contemplate
joining the Spring rush. Major Walsh,
the Canadian Commissioner, will allow
no man in over Canadian soil who does
not bring 1, 000 pounds of provisions. Tc
start without that will be to be turned
back.
“The rush next year, so far as one
can judge, is going to be 011 the Ta-
nana River, in the heart of Alaska
southwest of the Klondike and in
'American territory. That is where the
most of the 100, 000 new comers will
strike. The transportation companies
cannot get provisions enough in for
all that crowd, and the Government
probably will have to help them again
next Winter.”
Troops for Alaska.
Portland, Ore., Feb. 10. —Colone1 T. M.
Anderson, Fourteenth Infantry, will be
in command of the troops which are
ordered to Alaska. Two more compa-
nies are held in readiness to sail on
short notice.
The Cleveland Back in Service.
‘ Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 10,—The steam-
er'Cleveland has sailed for .Skaguay
and Dyea. .The Cleveland is just off
the Tacoma dry dock, and this is her
first trip since she was wrecked on Van-
Vancouver Island several weeks ago.
The steamer is chartered by the VVash- .
ington and Alaska Company. The
steamer City of Seattle sailed for Alas-
ka yesterday, taking 200 tons of freight
and 600 passengers.
Challenged to a Duel.
Lexington, Ky., Feb. 10. —A political
sensation has been caused by the pub-
- lication of a letter from Colonel Thomas
E. Moore, of Bourbon county, a lead-
ing silver Democrat, denouncing Desha
Breckenridge, son of Colonel W C. P.
Breckenridge, editor of the Herald, and
suggesting a duel to settle the differ-
'en'ces. Colonel Moore is an ex-Confed-
erate and is paralyzed in his right arm.
He suggests that both use left arms.
The feeling between the men was en-
gendered in the Breckenridge- ~0wens
Congressional contest fou‘r years ago.
Colonel Moore was recently suggested
as a penitentiary commissioner, and the
Herald ridiculed him. This led to the
. challenge. Breckenridge is in Frankfort
and will probably answer Colonel
Moore to-day. Colonel Breckenridge
clined to discuss the challenge.

LU ETGERT’S LIFE SAVED
Conviction of the smug. Maker, Who 11
Sentenced to Life Imprisonment.
, Chicago, Feb. 10.—’l.‘he ' jury in the
caSe of Adolph L. Luetgert, charged
with murdering his Wife and dispOSing
of her body in a vat last May, returned
a verdict last night of guilty, and the
prisoner was sentenced to prison for
life.
The second trial of the sausagemak-
er was begun on December 30 last, so
thirty-five days have been consumed in
adducing the evidence in this most' re-
markable murder trial this country has
known in years. Three jurors saved
Luetgert from the gallows in the first
trial. The other nine men who had
heard the evidence were firm in their
belief that Mrs. Luetgert had met death
at her husband’s hands in the grew—
some sausage factory. For thirty-eight
hours the jury deliberated ,and then
announced that no verdict could. be
reached. This was after "a trial that
had continued for fifty-one days, from
August 23 to October 21 last.
The crime with which Adolph Luet-
gert is charged is wanton and brutal.
The prosecution claimed that he lured
his wife to the sausage factory under
cover of night, and there slew her,
feeling sure of being able to dispose of
the bloody body in one of his many
sausage vats.
Mrs. Luetgert’s rings, one her wed-
ding ring, with “L. I.” engraved within
it, were found in the vat, thereby lead-
ing to the sausagemaker’s arrest.
MARTIN JURORS TH REATENED.
Instructed by Court to Hand Over Anony-
mous Letters to the District Attorney.
VVilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 10.-——VVhe11
court opened yesterday morning for the
trial of Sheriff Martin and his deputies,
Judge Woodward spoke to the jurors
about receiving letters bearing upon the
trial. He said: “If you receive any let-
ters with refernce to the trial, whether
anonymous or signed, it is your duty
to hand them over to the District At-
torney, and you must not allow. them
“to make any
mind.”
The first witness called was John
Yourshekowicz, «one of the Harwood
strikers. He said that they decided not
to carry anything having the semblance
of weapons, and to behave quietly and
peaceably. At West Hazleton, he said,
they met the Sheriff and the deputies,
who pushed them around with guns
and hit several of them.
“At Lattimer the Sherifi stopped
them, hit two men in the front rank
and tried to shoot his revolver; It
snapped twice and then exploded. 11114
mediately there was a volley of shots
from the deputies, and many of the
strikers fell.
“A bullet passed through my hat,”
the witness continued, “and then I fell
and lay down until there waspno more
shooting; then I ran away. I ran all
the way to Hazleton, because I was
afraid of being shot.”
The witness described the wounds he
had seen 011 the bodies that littered the
road after the firing; One body was
pierced by a bullet that had entered
near the spine and passed out through
the pit of the stomach. John shivered
as he thought of the horrid sights.
The witness said under cross-examin-
ation by John T. Lenahan, that the
- Harwood miners had been induced to
strike by 'men from McAdoo. He did
not know that the Harwood men had
been to Lattimer a few days earlier.
John’s idea about what was to be done
at L'attimer Was that the men working
sons for striking explained. He thought
the Sheriff a committee would have en-
tered the breaker and called out the
miners to hear the arguments on the
public roads. There were 500 of the
crowd from Harwood. Everybody had
'1. Ished to go.
Stephen Jusko, a Maygar, testified
that he had gone with the strikers to
West Hazleton. He said one of the dep-
uties struck him with a rifle, though he
had given no provocation. He had no
more they bought a'
case of extract of lemon and a case of '
A'second lot was con- 3
weapon of any kind. He was seized
after he had fallen and hurricl‘ to jail,
11 here he was held without any exam-
ination. The following day he was tak-
en to a hospital, where he remained for
A a week.
Michael Popso, who is able to speak
' English, was questioned about the Lat-
timer affair. His fi rst knowledge of any
difficulty was when he heard shots
fired. A man in front of him was shot
through the body. Popso turned and
ran away up the side of a hill beyond
the road. He had seen the deputies
with their guns levelled firing into the
crowd.
When the Court adjourned Sheriff
'Martin gave the first explanation for
the shooting at the men from a dis—
i tance. He said that after the miners
fled they attempted to reform as a
body and that he had no doubt some
of the deputies did use the language
attribtued to one of the deputies, that
it‘ll the strikers desired to come up
against the cold lead they’d ”get fixed.”
He didn’t appear to be shocked at the
conduct or language of the deputies,
but rather was he astonished that the
panic-stricken men did not march to-
ward the sharpshooters and die in their
tracks.
There is a probability of the prosecu-
tion’ 5 evidence lasting only a few days
more instead of a week or two, as41as
=been expected, for there are yet Over
Aa hunderd witnesses to be examined.
iThese witnesses are all brought from
, Hazleton and are kept here at the ex-
pense of the prosecuting committee,
for they are all too poor to pay a day
and mileage does not pay for the main-
tenance of their families.
It is now said that the funds of the
Prosecuting Committee are very low
and that a number of witnesses will
not be-‘crought here in this apeount.
About $9.000 was collected for this pur-
pose, and as much more could be raised
by popular subscription if it became
knmv nthat the money was needed.
A meeting of workingmen, at which
resolutions were to be passed censuring
Judge Woodward, ‘was announced to
be held last evening in Paukysti’s Hall
in Edwardsville, two miles from
Wilkesbarre. The understanding was
that the hall was to be furnished rent
free. When the men .arrived .this
evening ready to meet, Mr. Paukysti
announced that he wanted $10 rent- The
