Notwithstanding Attorney Freder
icks statement that the Bain case
? u a ?tron|rer one than that on!
which Harrow was tried, attorneys
lor the aec-wted lawyar pointed out
that it was a much weaker case.:
chiefly because there was no con
nection shown in that case between
Bert H. Franklin, the confessed j
briber, and Harrow It was pointed
?>?t further that there was a wide

Franklin testified that be had re
ceived a check for f 1,909 from Har
row with which to bribe Baku and
that he had deposited It In a bank,
from which he drew f&00 in curren
cy.
A hank clerk testified he gave
Franklin bills of the denomination
of $5t> and 1104, while the money
turned over by Mr?. Bain to the
district attorney consisted entirely of
$St? bill*.
in explaining this discrepancy to
the Jury, District Attorney Freder j
icks said the bank clerk's memory
must hare been at fa Bit.
Two o'clock today has been eet
as the time for the sotting for trial I
of the Bain case and Mr. Harrow |
said that until disposition was made
of that indictment he would not an
nounce his future plans
District Attorney Fredericks said
"We simply could not overcome the
damnable atmosphere that counsel
on the other aide were able to cre
ourt room. As long as
the court allowed them to do it we
were helplasa."

.Toe was tying his boat to the
wharf last evening, when In some
unknown manner he fell Into the wa
ter No one was present at the
time, but some boys nearby heard

I natural curiosity they rowed over to

out. Me was immediately taken to
the hoepital but died as he entered
! the building
The dead man had been under the
car?- of Dr. (iabiv for some time suf
fering from weak heart and bron
chitis, and the physician gives the

the exposure and cold from contact j
with the water, where he had strug
gled for about ten mlnutm before
being rescued In his weakened con
dlilon the shook was more than he
could stand

This parlor ear, tbe first one of
Its kind to be used In Alaska, was !
dedicated by Mr. W. B. Clow when i
It was run out of t*. shops When,
the old timers saw It pass through |
the street this morning they did a
little retrospective thinking and com
pared It with the old days when the,
only method of transportation was
the igusher's footgear and the dog
sled. The comparison shows an
