SEW \RD. ALASKA. TCESDAY, OCTOBER 26. 1015.
As it ts with the war in Kurope so is it with a lawsuit. When a man
has been in the newspaper business for some time he finds it impossible to
appear neutral. It is both right and plain com monsense to try to report a
lawsuit as it occurs. The reason why it is right is obvious, and the reason
why it is commonsense is that a colored account of a trial has no effect on
the verdict whatever unless the effect of defeating the end aimed at b> show
ing an animus which creates suspicion in the mind, or minds which form thu
ultimate judgment. Sometimes in reporting the Kuropean war a man may
inadvertently leave out something and make one of the parties to the conflict
see plot.> or prejudice. He may put in something which occurs to his mind
and ma> not occur to another mind and he is at once condemned. It is thus
in all conflicts of all kinds and all degrees of intensity and it is due to that
inability of all of us who are interested to place ourselves in the place of
those who have no part in the controversy.
The city council last night passed a resolution favoring the establish
ment of another saloon, or. perhaps it would be better to say, it passed a
resolution to the effect that it had no objection to another saloon in the city,
but, considering circumstances connected with the new proposed >aloon, and
the political division of the city council, that body’s action could hardly be
taken as the city's endorsement.
The gentleman who applied for the license is said by his friends to be
v. very tine type of man. but it can also be said that the other men in the busi
nes> in Seward are good citizens and good fellows as men could be. They
have struggled and are struggling just at present through hard times. In
deed. there a* * lots of people of the opinion that our fair city is “blessed”
with enough saloons to go around over again, thirsty as some of us might be
from time to i me. But. joking apart, the people who are here deserve con
sideration. Heaven knows, and maybe the other place, that Seward's popula
tion has all the saloons it wants, ami then some.

TRIED FOR CRIME
AT WHITEHORSE
, Alexander GagofT has been held for
trial by the Territorial court at
Whitehorse on the charge of murder.
The indictment will be based upon
the shooting and killing of Henry
I Cook, one of the four men he was
accused of. slaying. The others were
Pat. Kinslow, George Lane and Tom
1 Bokonich. Evidence was introducer!
at the hearing that GagofT had con
fessed to the killing of the men.
Speaking of the hearing at which
the accused was bound over, the
Whitehorse Star says:
“Mrs. O’Conner acted as interpret
er and translated in Russian to the
j prisoner the evidence of the various
witnesses but he, while listening
closely to what was taking place, did
not try to ask any questions, neither
did he appear to be much concerned,
■ although there was no doubt that he
j fully realized the enormity of his
1 crime. The only reason he gave to
i any of the witnesses for the killing
of the men was that they had said
that he, GagofT, was of no account
and that he was determined to show
. that he was a good man—-the process
of showing consisting of killing them.
Attorney W. L. Phelps conducted the
j preliminary trial in behalf of the
crown.
“When called upon far a statement
j in his own behalf, GagofT declined to
say anything further than that he
would make a statement at his final
trial. He did, however, make a most
unusual request of the court and that
j he be permitted to go around town
1 at pleasure and call on his friends,
; promising that he would not make
any effort to escape,
i “Alex GagofT, murderer of four
men, is a Russian about 28 or 80
years of age and is a clean cut ap
pearing fellow. He is fully six feet
tall and is of strong, athletic build.
“Letters which he had written be
fore themurder and not been mailed
i were read in court by John Vonowsky
■ an intelligent Russian employed at
the Grafter mine. The letters had no
particular bearing on the case further
than that one of them, intended for
another Russian in Dawson, request
ed that, in event of anything happen
ing to the writer, GagofT, his body be
i found sent out of the country.
“The prisoner was held over for
trial before the Territorial court at
the pleasure of the court. It is prob
able the trial will take place in the
near future, the court officials com
ing from Dawson to this place.’’
