Late last night the jury in the Thom
as Dodson case waa called into court by
Judge Gunnison and aummarlly dismiss
ed. At the aame time Baiiff N. J.
Black, who had the jury Id charge was
discharged. Shortly after it waa rumor
ed a bench warrant had been issued
for Alderman Shea and during the late
hours of the evening many reporta as to
what would take place today were
floating around.
The f undatlod for them all waa that
a box of cigars had been given the
jury.
Early this morning a bench warrant
was served on Alderman Shea at his
residence, by United States Deputy
Marshal McLean and at 10 o'clock,
shortly after court met, Judge Gunnl
*OD called Mr. Shea to the bar.
After Interrogating him as to
whether ho had given clgara to the
bailiff; who had Instructed him to send
them and whether or not the defendant,
Thomas Dodson, was In the place
where the cigars were given, a^-d re
ceived replies thereto from Mr. Shea
which showed that the Alderman had
do Intention of disobeying any order of
the court, Judge GunDison addressed a
warning to Mr. Shea, calling attention
to the fact that this was the second
time in which cigars had been given to
? jury by owners of the Pack Train
saloon; showing how the present ofTense
ml^ht prove the entering wedge into *
practice of passing communications to
the jury, and, in a general way cause
an upsetting and miscarriage of
justice, he allowed him to withdraw,
at the same time tellirg him that a
repetition of the offense would carry
with It a severe penalty.
As soon as Mr. Shea had retired
Bailiff Black was called forward. He
was asked to detail what took place
and in answer said that be had been
passed the cigars by Mr. Shea, who
told him at the time to ask Judge Gun- '
nlson whether they might be glyen to
the jury; that before be had an oppor
tunity to do so, they were ta'ren from
him ty Juror C. H. Schefller and passed
around; that Deputy McLean was pres
ent at the time and that McLean had
been offered one by the juror and had
taken It. Judge Gunnison at this point
told Mr. Black to retire.
Juror Scheffler next came before the
court and was told to explain his connac
tlon with the cue. Mr. Schefller stated
that he hud sent for some cigars: that
Bpillff Black shortly afterwards appear
ed with them under his arm, and that |
he had taken some away fr.mhlm.
There was nothing contained In the |
box other than cigars. It had not been
opened. Be bad passed the cigars J
aroucd and that Deputy Marshal Mc-j
Lean had taken one, members of the |
jury had rj?o taken some. He had notj
thought anything of the matter ai the!
time and meant no harm. After his [
explanation he was instructed by the j ll
court to sit down.
Judge Gunnison then recalled BatlifT j
ElacK. In addressing Mr. Black he
said he deprecated the necessity of I
being forced to line him, that he
appreciated he was a man of family
and, in his opinion, a small fine would
act as a wai nlng to avoid future cases
of the kind. Thereupon the court or
dered that u line of five dollnrs bo en- j
tered against Mr. Black.
Judge Gunnison then explained at1
length the gravity of the case. He
stated that it was not the intention of
the court to mike a mountain out of a
mole hill, but that, hid the jury agreed
on a verdVi-, t'jat -repdict, in the event j
of an appea', would have been set
aside, and the expenses to which the
government and the defendant had
been put would have be^n thrown
away. With particular clearness did
Judge Gunnison bring out the far
reaching effect su.h practices would
have on judicial matters, If they were
not checked, and In a kindly way
warned the jurors to never again be
come parties to such actions.
The foundation of the government",
he stated, rested upon the jury system
and once the system was nude useless I
all government would be destroyed.
The speciil veniro was then excused
and told to go to the Marshal and re
ceive their compensation. One mem
ber of the regular venire wa9 allowed
to remain in attendance upon the court
and will not be disqualified from act
ing.
After the jury bad been excused and
Bailiff Black discharged from the ser
vice as Bailiff, tho jury made a collec
tion and raised a sum of money, which |
was turned over to him.
The members of the jury understand
that, unintentionally, they committed
an offense, and all of them speak in the
highest pra'se for the manner in which
Judge Gunnison condoned their error.

RAILiflT
TO SHUT DOWN
Word has been received from the
London directors of the Klondike Mines
railway to close down the road until
April. This means four months' hiber
nating for the line. The last train of
the season will be that going to the
summit and back Saturday. It is stat
ed that the operations in winter are to
be ceased because of the difficulty of
keeping open the line during the period
of little traffic.
The staff of the railway will be laid
off for the winter with the exception of
Eugene Murphy, who will remain in
charge of the offices and property.
Tom O'Brien may take a trip to the
outside during the winter.? Dawson
