Luring the trial of the famous Ring-Yager case for the im 7, on Gold Run, Ste- time Judge Steve the Nome news actuated b and bu s refused vens, who was acting as attorney fo. . | Jumper Ring, was caught in a pretty | trap. He induced Yager to sell his in- | terest in the mine for $5000 and agree to | leave the country, thus leaving his at- torneys, who had taken the case on a | contingent fee, in a sorry plight. Stevens paid Yager the money while the case was being tried, but while attempting to leave | the country Yager was arrested by his own attorneys and made to go upon th: witness stand, vindicate his own location and tell the story .of Stevens’ shady transaction. On the witness stand in Judge Noyes' court Stevens attempted to justify his action by saying: I find it necessary under the present administra- tion of justice to be on both sides of the case in order to get to work a plece of ground in this country.” Noyes, evi- dently, was so much in Stevens’ power that he did not take cognizance of th sult which Stevens' shameless adm sion offered. Shortly afterward, how- ! ever, Stevens and No quarreled about the division of some mining property, so it is said, and then came the passing of | Steven When Stevens went to Nome he left a | very unsavory reputation behind him in | the States. While living in _Menord County, Illinois, in 1877, Eli Reep of Petersburg. in the same county., went into bankruptcy, and Stevens was ap- pointed assignee, Fearing that there had | been some juggling with the funds, the| creditors sued for an accounting. Stevens | 1 the Grand Jury, but United States At{;p i Meeley, Stevens' chief gounsel. had the matter quashed.

That many of these shoes sold for $6 to S10 a pair gives some idea of their excellence and splendid worth.

Wheeler came from Minneapolis with - Judge Noyes, posing and drawing down a salary as the Judge's private sec- retary and stenographer. It became a notorious fact soon after Wheeler reached Nome that he could not write a word of shorthand, and to those who touched on this point he mtimated that it was a ghield to protect him while he practiced law in the Judge's chambers, and repre- sented that he was Judge Noves’' broker. In this position Wheeler proved more than once that he could get the Judge to sign “any old order,” the notorious deep- sea orders being a few of the reliefs which he got from the Judge. When Judge Noyes departed from Nome for this city he left an order ap- pointing Wheeler Commissioner of the Nome district. but failed to leave a sim- ilar order. declaring Stevens' position va cant, thus making it necessary for Judge ‘Wickersham to remove both of them.

The matter was brought before | GONGPIRATORS Prison Directors Hope to Make Arrests Shortly. The State Prison Directors, having dis- covered and taken measures,to frustrate the jute bag conspiracy, are now devoting their energy:toward securing.the evidence necessary to convict the conspirators. The entire police and detective machinery of the State has been set in motion and it is expected that many of the bags ordered for future delivery will be made with the assistance of the makers of the bogus affi- davits. When the plot was first discovered the Prison Directors communicated with Dis- trict Attorney Byington, who advised them to consult Captain of Detectives John Seymour of the local police force. Captain Seymour. after looking into the matter, detailed Detective Tom Gibson on the case. In addition to this, the chief of police of every town in the State was no- tified and requested to detail an officer to assist in running the conspirators to earth. These officers have been working in conjunction with Detective Gibson for the last three weeks and it is understood that preparations are well under way for | the issuance of a formidable array of in- dictments. Sensational Scandal. While the information in possession of the police is being closely.guarded, it is known that some well-known names will be involved in what, when it breaks, will be one of the most sensational scandals in | the history of the State. Just how long the plotters have been at work the Prison Directors will not say. Just how many bags have been secured by means of bogus affidavits will not be known until the officers of the law have investigated every order for bags received during the last year. The attention of the directors was at- two months before an acre of grain had been harvested orders had been filed for every bag on hand or that could be manu- factured by September 15. Then it was noticed that orders had been filed for the delivery in 1902 of enough bags to keep the mill busy up to the date of delivery. Arrests to Be Made Soon. The mill at San Quentin turns out five million bags a vear. These bags are sup- posed to be sold only to bona fide grain- growers in lots of not more than 2000 to any one man. By means of bogus affi- davits most of the last year's output fell into the hands of a ring of dealers. These dealers, posing by means of bogus affi- davits, as farmers, secured the bags at the prison price of $565 a hundred. When the farmer came to buy his bags he was forced to deal with the r‘lngbn‘nd to pay $7 50 a hundred. The prison ‘bags are all marked, numbered and registered and easily recognized. Repeated complaints on | committee was about to be formed ‘| accident, and the part of the farmers induced the di. resulted in the discovery of the plot.

He came with an enviable repu- tation, gained especially through his con- nection with the New York Symphony Society, and he has more than lived up to that reputation. He has had long and thorough scnooling in music. He is a master of interpretation and possesses in a high degree the qualities necessary Senator Carter of Montana, whose name has been mentioned in an unsavory way with the contempt cases now being heard by the Circuit Court, was appointed Com- missioner of the Bluestone district to suc- ceed Judge Rognon. In this capacity he presided over the affairs of Teller City, the largest town next to Nome in North- western Alaska. His administration of justice was open to severe criticism from time to time, and at one stage a vigilance to drive him out of town. Judge Cochrane, known in_Alaska as “Amicus Curiae” Cochrane, because he was one of Judge Nbyes' chief syco- phants, was Commissioner of the Kouga- rok district, where there was much tam- pering with mining records and consid- crable scandal over the off-hand dismissal of serious criminal cases. The late arrivals from Nome say that Judge Wickersham has made himself ex- tremely popular in Nome by his impartial dispensing of justice and the weeding out of corrupt officials. All of the discharged Commissioners, save Judge Stevens, arrived in Seattle | yesterday on the Senator. JUDDEN SQUALL GAPSIZES BOAT Timothy Lyons, a Boy, the Victim of Acci- dent on*the Bay. ——— Timothy Lyons, 19 years of age, wro lived at 4 Moulton avenue, off Buchanan street, between Greenwich and Lom- ‘bard, was drowned in the bay yesterday afternoon in view of hundreds of people Who were on the beach and saw the ac- cident. Two companions- narrowly es- caped the same fate. Lyons was an elevator boy at 6 Cali- fornia street, and having saved some money and being fond of boating pur- chased a Whitehall ‘bcat about a monti ago and rfgged it ug with a sail. Yester- day he invited twc of his friends, B. Bowler, 1925 Filbert' street, 20 years of age, and Cunningham, 204t Jones street, 15 years of age, to join in a trip on the bay, and they accepted. They sailed {rom the Buchanan-street whart akout noon, and when about the middle of the bay a squall struck the boat and it was overturned. Lvons was struck on.the head by the poom ani knocked. senseless into the bottom of the boat, where Fe was held. Bowler and guntulngham clung to the overturned oat. People on the beach and wharf saw tha T. J. Plerc> and Tony Dez- erello at once jumped into a boat and rowed to the rescue. When they reach- ed the overturned boat Bowler and Cun- ningham’ were still clinging to it, but dn a thoroughly exhausted condition, and ‘were quickly transferred to the rescuing boat. Pierce~and Dezerello righted _the overturned boat and found Lyons’' dead body ‘under it. He had been suffo- cated. e Morgue was notified, and Lyons' body was removed to the dead house to awalit the inquest. Lyons’ brother strong- ly advised him not to attempt to sail his hoat vesterday, as the wind was Su squally, but he would not listen to the advice, and went to his death. .

Plot to Release the Whole Crowd of 150 Chinese Frustrated. —_— A big plot to release the 150 Chinese In the Mail Dock corral was frustrated early yesterday morning. As it was, five of the coolie prisoners got away, while another was caught in the act. The matter had evidently been care- fully considered in and engineered from Chinatown. A hole had been made in the roof near the eaves. Alongside the hole was an escape pipe for the water that falls during rains. This pipe ends near the Brannan street sewer, and once the Chinese got that far, escape was easy. Half a dozen hacks were in wait- ing among the lumber piles, and as soon @s a man made the journey down the water pipe, he was gathered in and hustled away to Chinatown. Almost every steamship that has ar- rived from the Orient during the last month has brought a crowd of Chinese for this port. Most of them land as ‘‘Na- tive Sons’’ and merchants, others as trav- elers and students, while the rest are held as having no right to enter the United States. These latter have been in- creasing in number until Saturday night there were more than 150 of them in Lie corral. These were all held at the expense of the Pacific Mail, Occidental and Ori- ental and Toyo Kisen Kaisha companies. If any one of them escaped the company that brought them here was liable to Uncle Sam under its bond. Saturday afternoon the Chinese were all counted by the Customs authorities. Yesterday morning the count was made again and five were missing. Then there was an inquiry and the watchman was called in. A close insvection of the prem- ises showed where the “Heathen Chinee’ had cut the hole, the cover to which, when put in place, fitted like a die. The toe marks on the side of the building showed how the escapes had slid down the wall to the wharf below. When questioned, the night watchman vowed that none of the Chinese had escaped. “I caught one man coming down the water spout,” said he, ‘‘and took him by the queue back to the corral. I then | de an investigation and heard some v/agons driving away. I suspected a plot and at once placed a man on the look- I thought I had got the first run- , but if the inspectors say five are missing, then they got away before I made my rounds.” The steamship comphnies will now have to reckon with Uncle Sam over the five unless the Chinese Six Companies pay it and hush the whole matter up. At pres- ent ‘the Mail Dock is an easy place (o escape from. WOMAN IS DRAGGED BY RUNAWAY AT THE BEACH Large Number of People Witness Scene That Filled Them With Terror. There was a startling scene enacted yesterday afternoon at the ocean beach, Which was witnessed by many people. A woman whose name could not be learned was riding with a man supposed to be her husband in a cart drawn by a big black steed. In front of the Seal Rock House the man alighted and entered the resort to secure refreshments. Suddenly the horse started on a wild run up the steep road to the CIliff House. The woman in her efforts to seize the reins fell to the ground. In falling, how- ever, she managed to grasp the axle. She held on with desperation and was drag- ged over the rough road until she re- leased her hold and fell unconscious to the ground. A driver of a horse and buggy, seeing| her plight and evidently thinking the woman had been driving alone, jumped | out of his buggy and seizing the pros- | trate woman lifted her into his vehicle. He then started his horse at breakneck speed down the hill, holding the uncon- scious woman in his buggy with one arm. He raced his horse off in the direction of the road leading into the park, with the | evident intention of carrying the unfor- tunate woman to some hospital or drug store. The supposed husband of the woman did not learn of the mishap until he found a young man bringing his horse and cart toward the Seal Rock House. Jumping into the cart he whipped up his steed and started in pursuit of the well-meaning citizen who was trying to aid the injured woman. His horse was not very speedy, so it is not yet known how or where the incident terminated. | The woman is described as being be- tween 25 and 30 years of age, while her supposed husband was apparently several years her senior. o Death of Mrs. General Dietzler. Mrs. General George W. Dietzler died yesterday morning at her home, 3309 Clay street. She was the widow of General Dietzler, who died in this city in 1884, and whose funeral was largely attended by representatives of the Grand Army, Loyal Legion and Knights Templar. Inthe civil war he rendered distinguished ser- vice. His leadership of the Kansas troops at the battle of Wilson's Creek was heroic. His widow, who passed away yes- terday, was born in Virginia. Her maiden name was Anna M. Neill. The family moved to Missouri when she was a child. She and General Dietzler were married at Lexington, Mo., in 1865. They lived at Lawrence, Kan., until 1873, when they came to California. The survivers of the family are two daughters—Miss Mamie Dietzler and Mrs. George W. Toohy. The funeral will take place at 10:30 a. m. to- morrow from the family home. — Charged With Grand Larceny. Pearl Winters and Georgie Winters were arrested yesterday afternoon by Policemen Regan and O’Connell and booked at the City Prison on a charge of grand larceny.
