KILLS MAN
Murder aud Probably Suicide
Near Seward
* Seward. Oct. 13? James Murray,
Vuerwise known as Moreira. is believed
to have xnurd red his partner, James
Fisk, last March at Halibut Bay, near
Seldovia, while insane. The skeleton
of Fisk was found by natives last week
with a rifle ball in the back. It was
identified by clothing ana letters found
? on the bo;;y.
In a cabin twenty steps away were
found a bit o iy razor and a knife, and
* there were blo<xl stains on the furni
ture. Murray is supposed to have com
mitted suicide, as he was never sean
after his boat left Seldovia last
February.
' The men were together on the inlet
?very year. In the cabin seven fetters
written by Murray were found. They
were stamped and addressed to friends
in Fortugal. Kngland, Victoria and
* Calfornia.
Oae'letter was to a sister, Mrs. F. S.
Tenzel, of San Lorenzo, Cal, Another
was to Joseph H. Le.vis. cf Victoria, in
which the writer says:
"I have but a few seconds to live."
?Then follow incoherent religous and
M^alistic utterances. Another, to an
uffuamed brother, savs:
?'I have agrerd Fisk should kill me
today at 5 o'clock, and he is to be killed
after me by my agency. All this is for
wrongs in our past lives and for the
sake of humanity. We have agreed to
wipe out all scores of the past in a sane
and frtendly way, so that in doin? this
we forgive one another as well as for- j
give our enemies."
. Fisk had several hundred dollars and
Murray a considerable amount. None!
of it was found.
? 1: is possible the lonely lives the men
* led drove one or both of them to In
sanity. which led to the mysterious and
as yet inexplicable crime.

WANTS IN
Dawson E^adv to Help Alas
" kdu Fair
Dawson, Oct. 11? The proposition to
have an Alaskan fair in Seattle is re
ceiving serious attention in influential
quarters here. Now is an opportune
time to invite the Canadian Yukon's
formal participation in the fair. One
of the most prominent citizens of Daw
son offers bis assistance in getting the
movement under way at once. He says
an invitatkn to the Canadian Yukon to
elect delegates to the fair should no
longer be deferred. Gov. Mclnnes is
willing toco-operate.
American Consul Uavndal says Alas
ka is destined to have a boom somewhat
on the lines of that in the Canadian
northwest. He promises to do all in
' his power for the fair, believing thut it
will be a tremendous success and bring
the attention of investors and thousands
: of other persons to Alaska and to the
Yukon.
j The Dawson News, editorial v, says:
'?Seattle weleomes cordially the prop
jositioa to modify the coming Alaska
fair into an Alaska- Yukon exposition,
making it purely inter-territorial. The
plans will need working out and will
need enthusiastic support. Yukon,
though really responsible for the pres
sent attention paid the north, is not
heavily populated, nor has it a billion
dollar congress to draw upon. But to
make up for the lack of funds for the
exhibit, doubtless the territory and the
Dominion will contritute a sufficient
amount to do the territory justice, if
not honor. That Seattle should wel
come the Klondike to participate in the
exhibition is not surprising. The Klon
dike was of enormous value to Seattle
when Seattle most needed extraneous
assistance. The spirit of the west is j
there, and it is felt that in the future,
as in the past, what will help the Yu
Kon cannot escape reflecting a measure |
of its prosperity on Seattle."

[Copyright. 1905. by R. B. McClure.]
The widow Greeu, living nest west
of the deacon's, hud beeu a widow for
three years, and it was common talk
that she and the widower would make
a match.
Iu early spring the widow had bought
n cow, and that cow had jumped every
fence on the deacon's land within two
weeks, hut he had always driven her
back home without a word of com
plaint On this occasion, however, the
deacon was vexed.
"I've stood it and stood It and stood
It," he said to himself as he surveyed
the damages, "but I can stand it no
longer. The widder Green must be
made to understand that her cow
can't go about like a roarin' lion,
kuoekin' down fences and tramplin'
down corn. I estimate that she has
damaged me $10 worth, and that wid
der has got to be sharply talked to."
He drove the cow to the home of her
owner, giving her a vigorous whack on
the way whenever he could get near
enough, and when he had reached the
house and been saluted by Mrs. Green
he said:
"Widder, 1 told you two months ago
that your new cow was a Jumper."
"Yes. you did."
"And that you must pnt a poke on
her."
"Yes."
"Well, you didn't do it, and she's
damaged me $10. When I found her
In my cornfield Just now, I almost
wanted to kill her."
"I'm sorry, deacon," was the humble
reply.
"But beln' sorry won't do," said the
deacon, who felt that he had the ad
vantage and should press it "Jumpln'
cows should be poked. I told you that
long ago, but you don't seem to care
two cents."
"I was goln' to poke her."
"But goln' to poke a cow and pokin'
her are two different thing*. That was
the way with Mlrandy. She's dead,
and I don't want to say anything agin
her, but she was always goln' to do and
never doln'. You're a widder woman,
and I'm sorter sorry for you, but you
must obey the law same as other folks.
The law says that a Jumpln' cow"?
"Never mind what the law says.
Deacon Allbright," Interrupted the wid
ow. "You are makln' a great fuss over
a few stalks of corn, and If you'll tell
me what the damage Is I'll pay It. I
never thought you was such a man."
"But you've got a jumpln' cow."
"Then let 'er jump. I stand ready to
pay all damages."
"But you are mighty sassy about It."
"I've a right to be. I've got no man.
thank heaven, to boss me around."
"It would be better If yon had. Then
you'd know that any one who owned a
jumpln' cow was obleeged"?
"Deacon Allbright, how much do 1
owe you?" exclaimed the woman.
"If 'twas auy one else I'd say $10.
but beln' It's you"?
"I won't pay 10 cents."
"Then I'll sue you for damages!"
"You can sue till the chickens become
ducks. You could boss Mlrandy around
and make her feel as humble as a cat,
but you can't boss me. Go ahead with
your old lawsuit"
The deacon said he would and turned
away. Before he had gone forty rods
he changed his mind, and there would
have beeu no legal trouble but for the
cow.
Not satisfied with what she had
done, she took advantage of the occn
sion to die. It was from overfeeding
on the Juicy stalks and young ears, and
a witness was found to come forward
and swear to certain whacks the dca
con had bestowed upon her anatomy as
he drove her along the road.
"He's so powerful quick to talk abou*
lawsuits that I'll give him one!" said
the widow when she heard that the
Jumping cow had passed away. And
within four hours she was In the vil
lage consulting a lawyer.
When Deacon Allbrlght received no
tlce that he had been sued he, of course,
started a countersult. Then some one
told the widow that he was talking
about her, and she started a slander
suit
He beard that she was talking
about him, and he Instituted another
suit. Then the deacon's sister chipped
In and had her say, and the widow be
gan a third suit. The deacon had once
saved her barn after It had been struck
by lightning, and now he Instituted a
claim for salvage.
The law works slowly In a country
town. A lawsuit is a thing to be hung
on to as long as possible and made the
most of. The first two suits were tried
and appealed, and the two others were
called and adjourned several times, and
finally two years had passed away and
no one was better oft and no point had
been settled.
One morning almost as soon as the
deacon was out of bed ho received no
tice that his sported ox was lying dead
in the widow Green's cornfield. The
animal had broken down the fence and
overfed. The deacon was met at the
gate by the widow, who said:
"I could say that you had a Jumpln'
01 an 5 that he should have been poked
and thf.i y vi had damaged me $10, but
I shan t do uaything of the sort. I lost
a cow, and you've lost an ox. I sued,
and you sued. I was a fool, and you
were ditto. Shan't we shake hands and
call it square?"
"I? I guess we'd better," the deacon
replied after taking a moment to think
It over? "that is, provided you'll have
me and we both wear the same poke
after this."
"Well, I don't mind. But, dear me,
what dunces we were to go and lose
two whole years over itr
