ROGERS ARRAIGNED^!
FOR NIXON MURDER
W. K. Rogers, who was arrested at
UbertyYllle, III., after being indicted
in Juneau for the murder of N. U.
Wixon. arrived in Juneau on the Ma
riposa last night in the custody of
Deputy Marsha] E. P. Holden, of Chi
cago. He was given until 10 o'clock
tomorrow in which to plead, and the
court stated further time would be
granted if the defendant was not
ready at that time. Attorney O. A.
Tucker appeared for defendant.
N. H. Wixon was killed on May 23,
last year, duringt he progress of a
quarrel over mining properties, in
which deceased and Rogers were the
parties. They were prospecting on
Christmas creek, a tributary of Gla
cier in the Porcupine mining district.
They were all alone and there were
no witnesses to the tragedy. Rogers,
who claimed the killing was in self
defense. was exonerated by a ma
jority of the jurors at the coroner's
inquest that fololwed.
The indictment charges that Rog
ers struck Wixon on the head with a
carpenters' hammer and shot him with
a rifle inflicting separate wounds both
of which were fatal and would have
caused'the death of Wixon.
FISHERY PROSECUTIONS
COMING UP IN OCTOBER
?*?
At the night session of the district
court iast night attorneys for the gov
ernment and the defendants completed
the arguments to the demurrers inter
posed and the matter was taken under
advisement. Those who have already
entered pleas are anxious to go to
trial and have the matter over with,
but Judge R. W. Jennings held that
all of these cases would have to go
over until thy close of the criminal
cases in which many of the defendants
were confined in Jail. It is not believ
ed that the "fish" cases will go to
trial before October 5.
All of the cannery representatives
concerned decided to leave, most of
them going back to their fishing, while
others who have finished left for the
South.
JOE KE^-LY SEEKii D^/ORCE.
Joe Kellw yesterday filed suit against
his wife, .lilia. for divorce. The com-j
plaint alleges cruelty and inhuman |
treatment} that the defendant at

FRANk E. YOUNG'S
MINE DOE8 WELL
Frank E. Youngs who came to town
Saturday night with the first cleanup
of the season from the Kenai Mining
& Milling company's property on
Cooper creek, returned to the mine
thiR morning on the car.
The first cleanup of the season was
much better than was anticipated and
Mr. Youngs is confident that the next
month's work will produce more gold
than ?ny similar period in the history
of the Cooper creek property. The
first cleanup is the result of piping a
large amount of waste that had to be
moved in order to get at the pay. This
waste carried some pay, in fact
enough pay to put it through the
boxes and when the cleanup was ta
ken it was found that it had graded
higher than was anticipated. From
now on the plant will be working on
good pay until the freeze up. Mr.
Youngs hopes to be able to work well
Into October before being, foreed to
close down for the season. ? Seward
