(Continued from page 1»
last fnil kept n. roadhouso at the name
place.
Three other men were arrested last
fall upon warrants issued by Commis
sioner Ooodell of Knik, before whom
Kenny filed a complaint charging
thorn with riot. All three gave bonds
and were also indicted by the grand
jury.
Kenny wa« accused of stealing
$2300 in gold dust which a miner
named Cono claimed to have loft in
hie roadhouHe. Kenny denied any
knowledge of the gold and a party of
a dozen men went up in a launch from
SuHitna and ordered him to produce
it or be hanged. Ho protested that
ho did not have tho very desirable
dust. Theieupon tho committco of
public safety put a ro\m around his
neck and hauled him up to a cross
bar near Ids house. Ho was finally
cut down unconscious and then some
of tho pnrty weakened and insisted
that he bo allowod to go. He was
placed on a boat and ordered to leave
the country.
Kenny now has an action pending
in tho district court against tho gen
tlemen who uasaultod him und drove
him out of the country, claiming $26,
000 damages for his suffering and loss
of proi»erty. He had a roadhouse paid
a homestead on which ho had spent
considerable money, and some chat*
tels, all of which ho was compelled to
abandon. He is now in Valdez, em
ployed as a cook.
In tho Yentna district there is con
siderable sentiment among tho min
ors against Kenny, at least the noisy
ones who do tho talking, say so. Ken
ny has friends there, however. In
Seward, where he conducted a chop
house for a long time before he/'ont
inside, he had a good reputafTSn, and
receives general sympathy.
