most immediately. He reports
the traveling difficult owing to
thc general breaking up of the

inches of rain fell during the last
three days of May The greatest
precipitation was on the 31

total of .08 inches which fell on
the 30th.
Reports from the Bear at i :20 j
today state that the vessel was ;
at that time 40 miles west of
Cape Romanzof. The cutter was |
in the ice and making no head- !
way. According to this report
the Bear is about one hundred
and eighty five miles from Nome.
This would bring her here in
about twenty four hours under
ordinary circumstances but her
arrival under present conditions
is problematical

old tinier of the district was
taken into custody By the mar
shal yesterday and will be given ,
a hearing on a charge of insanity.
Benson is reported to have show
ed signs of mental derangement
for some time but it was not

The crack which appeared in
the ice yesterday opened consid
erably during the night and
Nomeites were greeted this
morning by the first ^ signs of
open water seen in months. Ac
cording to those who claim to
know the outer ice body is
I moving slowb’ to the westward
under the impulse of asoutheast
wind. The ice inside the bars
appears to be firmly anchored
I and will probably remain for
| some time.
Solomon reports 1 ittle change
m the ice conditions this morn
ing. There is about two miles
of shore ice but beyond the wate
is clear. Safety reports that
iberc is a wide lead extending
toward Nome but with heavy ice
beyond. There is apparently
little movement The high water
lately prevailing in Solomon
river has now gone down and the
river is again assuming the nor
ma!. Xo damage was done by
the flood so far as known.
A Valdez report to tile signal
corps relays this morning-stated
that the cable is expected to be
in operation again at any minute.
At the present time a large por
tion of the late news arriving
here is l| f|ig routed via the
Dominion lines. The messages
relating to the first sailing of the
Nome boats published yesterday
were received by that route,
which accounts for the receipt of
tlie notice of the Umatilla sail
ing. on the evening of the day
of departure. Had the message
been forwarded by government
cable it would probably not have
been received until today owing
to the congestion at Sitka and
Cordova.
Ole Wirutu, who was recent
ly arrested on a charge of va
grancy on the complaint of Mrs.
W arren Nelson, was tried in the
United States commissioner’s
court yesterday afternoon before
a jury which finally acquitted
the defendant after deliberating
about two hours. The trial at
tracted great attention and the
court room was packed through
out the hearing with numerous
deeply interested spetators. Ow
ing to the great number of wit
nesses examined the trial occu
pied the entire afternoon and it
was well along toward evening
before the verdict was return
ed. Some nine or ten witnesses
were called on behalf of the gov
ernment while almost an equal
number appeared for the defend
ant. The charges preferred by
Mrs Nelson arose, apparently,
from the fact that Wirum was in
arrears for several months room
rent. The amount alleged due
was $38.50. The defendant ad
mitted that he owed Mrs. Nelson
but declared that the sum was
$27 instead of the amount claim
ed by Mrs. Nelson. He declared
that he had no intention of beat
ing the lady and intended to pay
as soon as he received the money
from fne sale of goods due to ar
rive on the first boaTsT The evi~

charge indicated that Wirum has
not worked at manual labor ior a
lengthy time, several of the wit
nesses intimating that they hau
never known him to work. Wit
nesses for the defense, however,
J and also Wirum himself, deposed
| that the defendant made his liv~
I mg by selling pocket knives and
life insurance. While much of
the evidence concerning the com
mercial transactions of the de
fendant was not entirely convinc
ing. there was at least enough to
incline the jury to a favorable
verdict for the defendant.
