O'DAY AND MYERS
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Tanami Moil Acquitted on a
Charge of Gambling
With Indians.
The case at Tanaua against O’Day
and Myers, charged with gambling
with the Indians in the vicinity of
Kokrines. resulted in an acquittal.
The trial was before Magistrate
Bathurst and a jury of twelve, and
Rev. Mr. Prevost appeared tor the
prosecution and Geo. A. Salisbury
tor the defense.
1 assengers on the Seattle No.
3 told of the trial. They said
the Indians testified that in the
gambling transaction they lost 36
marten skins, one bear skin and
one beaver skin. On cross examt
nation by Salisbury they placed the
number of marteu skins lost to the
white men at four.
When the case had been submit
ted the defense raised the point that
the prosecution failed to identify
the party who won the skins. The
prosecution wanted to recall the
witnesses and the defense objected.
The contention was strenuous and
tor an hour the court wavered, but
at last sustained the objection, and
Mr. Salisbury scored an important
advantage.
The jury was out but a short
while.
It is said that Mr. Salisbury’s
management of the case, and espe
cially his address to the jury, was
very favorably commented upon.
Temperature Low
tor Time of Year
For twelve days stormy weather
has prevailed with but slight inter
ruption. High wind, descending
rain and low temperature have l>een
ruling conditions.
Friday night last Fred Cassidy
and Herman Schweitzer, mushing
in from Hootlanana, encountered
trust on the divide, strong enough
to l»ear up their weight and benumb
their limbs in a manner suggestive
more of midwinter than of summer
weather.
Over beyond, the Wolverine
mountains took on a covering of
fresh snow.
Olson and Anderson are on very
rich dirt on their Thanksgiving
discovery property. A passer by
