Dawson, July 25 —Jacob Neilson, whose hearing on the charge ol J
dynamiting a cliedge belonging to the Yukon Gold Company, has occu-1
pied the last ten days, was found guilty today and sentenced to 20 years in j
the penitentiary. The conviction was secured entirely upon circum
stantial evidence, and but for the fact that the jury accompanied their
veidict with a recomemlation for clemency, it D likely the defendant
would have been given the extreme penally, which is life. The jury |
was out fifteen hours.
In pronouncing sentence, Judge McCauley remarked that Neilson]
was the second man to be convicted on a dynamiting charge in Canada. ]
He said it was a very seiions offence, deserving of a severe penalty; but]
in view of the fact that the jury had recommended clemency, he felt,
compelled to grant the request. He could not, under any circum- |
stances, however, let the prisoner off with a lighter sentence than 20 J
years. 1
Neilson and others were prepared for the verdict, but the defend
ant did not expect to receive such a severe sentence. He did not go 1
on the stand in his own defense. The Crown introduced 44 witnesses j
and the defense 14.
The Crown proved beyond a doubt that Neilson wrote the threaten- i
iug letters to the officials of the company owning the dredge. A
typewiiter and paper were found in Neilson’:; cabin which were easily!
identified.
The dredge was dynamited on February 22, of this year, after;
several threatening letters had been received by officials of the Yukon 1
Gold Company. The dredge, known as Dredge No 1, was situated on
Bonanza creek and was damaged to the extent of many thousand |
dollars,

sou, the explorer, has purchased;
about twenty dogs which he will j
take north with him for purposes!
of travel. He bought outright the j
team of Jack Hammer and his two
sleds and also purchased several
other dogs of different owners. It
was reported that he had purchased
some of the dogs of Scotty Alien j
but this is not a fact as Scotty re- i
fuses to sell his dogs.
It is almost certain that some of
the dogs to be used by Amundsen 1
will be bought in Koine also.
