Washington, Dec. 2? The most bitter fight
that has in years been made against a terri
torial Governor is expected to be started
aaainst Governor Hoggatt here this winter.
While no charges have been filed against him,
it seems to be a foregone conclusion that ugly
allegations will be made, lit is understood'
that Governor Hoggatt has had a warning of;
what may be brought out before the Presi-j
dent and his trip to Washington at this time'
is to anticipate and prepare in advance tor!

Houston, Texas, Dec. 2.? A Sunday
morning fire here yesterday destroyed
the heart of the business section of the
city. The flames started in a email
confectionery store, and before the ar
rival of the department had leaped to
the tall office buildings surrounding it.
The Federal building was entirely de
stroyed and with it all records. The
loss of the records may lead to the dis
missal of many cases a? ainst beads of
trust companies indicted under state
iaw9, and it is feared that, although
under indictment at the present time,
the loss of the Indictmen's will make
it impossible for the men to be convict
ed, as it will be almost impossible for
new indictments to be secured against
them, and now that the ind ciments
have been lost the government will
have nothing to stand on in its prosecu
tions.

Dawwn, Dec. 2? Dick Hall, charged
with stealing $40,000 in gold from the
mail while enroute from Fairbanks to
Seattle, was before E. C. Snekler in
the police court this morning for furth
er preliminary hearing.
Malcom Nicholson, gold dust buyer
and expert for the Canadian Bank of
Commerca, was on the stand, and told
of the sale of gold by Hall at various
times at the bank. The first gold Hall
sold at the bank was bought August 16,
18 days after the robbery of the m'ssiog
gold from tho mail. The value or sum
paid for the gold at that time was
$643. August 21 Hall sold the bank
gold to the value of $1,622; .September
5, to the value of $1,727; September 0,
to the value of .$1,785; September 18,
#2,955; S'.ptember 26, $2,024; October 2,
f3,l77; October 7. $1,955. Three days
after the last mentioned sale Hall was
arrested. The total weight of the sold
ho sold to tho bank was 1005 ounces. It
seems from what the prosecution h.ts
brought out, that all of the sales Hall
made were to the Canadian Bank of
Commerce.
The fineness of the gold obtained
from Hall ran from 806 to 847. The
unopened can of told found under the
Dawson school house ran 837. The
dust which the crown is endeavoring to
prove was used to adulterate the Fair
banks du3t, is supposed to have come
from Sulphur, and to have been bought
chiefly from Shaw & Spenner, who
who hive a Sulphur store, and from
Barton Brothers. The fineness of
the Sulphur dust runs about 800,
The crown brought out a point today
that the Fairbanks dust contains a red
sand or a red oxide which can be
pounded from the gold, and which is
not in any Klondike dust, and that the
last lot of gold Hali presented for gale
to the bank showed signs of red oxide.
Turner Townsend, janitor of the
Dawson public school building, testi
fied to having been present when the
police discovered the mftsing gold sacks
and other articles under the school
bui'dlcg. He also testified that he had
seen Kincaid at the school building
twice at noon in September, and that
Kinkaid had expressed surpiise at
Tewnsend being around; Kincaid
had stated he was looking at the foun
dations of the buildlug, and that Kin
caid had requested that some of the
doors be left open so that Arthur Bird,
a carpenter in the employ of the gov
ernment, might go into the basement
to repair the building. All the evi
dence was circumstantial and along
the lines of the above.
Major H. S. Tobin and J. M. Carson
appeared today for t he crown, and C.
W. C. Tabor for the defense.
