BOOSTING CHISANA STRIKE
A telegram from Bullville says:
“The Chisana strike is rich and thousands are
going in by way of Bullville. This is the best
place to outfit.”
Another telegram from Peddlington says:
“Bill Jones and Oldtirner Ole arrived here
this morning from the Chisana. They made the
trip in two (lays and found the trail fine. They
worked 15 minutes and took out $75,000. Hun
~ dreds are outfitting here.”
Another dispatch from the Holdup Navigation Com
pany speaks as follows, to-wit:
“The Chisana is the richest country found
since the Klondike. Every boat of the Holdup
Navigation Company is filled with prospectors
going up the Rats river, which is the shortest and
cheapest route.”
Later advices from Hungry Gulch city are to the fol
lowing effect:
“Three men arrived from the Chisana last
night. They say you can pick up a fortune any
old place. They don't say why they left it except
that this is the easiest way out.”
Ketclisucker wires af follows:
“Tom Sloan and Ike Mush arrived from Chi
sana with $20,000 in dust. Say ground too rich
to work without capital. Going Outside to pro
mote company. Will return and outfit here.”
Spiritburg wires thusly:
“Two hundred men have arrived from the
Chisana, but will go in again after outfitting here.
They came out to interview some friends with
money, and say they’d be ashamed to say how rich
the new strike is. All say this is the best route,
and anyone that says anything else is a lawyer.”

“VIST THE SAME OVER HAR"
Seward Gateway, August 30: Whoever may be the suc
cessful bidder for the emergency mail contract between Idit
arod and Seward, it is squarely up to the people of this
town to lend him every possible aid and encouragement.
Upon the success of this emergency contract very largely
depends the establishment of a star route between Seward
and the Interior town. Personal likes or dislikes should
not enter into a matter of such importance.
“Either the federal bench of the United States must be
filled from now on with men who can win back the respect
of the people for the judiciary, which has been forfeited, or
the recall of federal judges is going to come, and is going
to tear the robe from some of the highest judges in the
country.” This is the opinion given to Attorney General
McReynolds by Senator Lane of Oregon recently. Lane is
not a lawyer; he is just a doctor and a champion of com
mon folks’ rights. His sincerity in this warning so im
gressed McReynolds the latter asked to have Lane’s remarks
sent him in writing, Lane complied. “It’s a serious thing

when the judiciary of the nation are the object of public
suspicion,” said the Oregon senator. “It indicates trouble
ahead for the judges. We want men put on the bench in
our part of the country, when vacancies are to be filled,
who will not only be above suspicion, but will redeem tlie
reputation of their rank.” _
ARCHDEACON MACDONALD
PASSES AWAY AT WHNIPE6
Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 4—The venerable Archdeacon Macdonald
the oldest Anglican missionary of the Yukon, is dead here at the age of
S4 years. He was more than 40 years in the Mackenzie River diocese,
and for the last several years had been living here in retirement.
Archdeacon Macdonald was one of the most historic figures of the
North. During his many years in Yukon and Mackenzie he learned
the Indian language thoroughly, and performed the marvelous work of
translating the Bible into Takudth tongue, spoken by the Indians of
Moosehide and other parts of the Yukon. He also transited many
popular hymns into the same tongue. His translations are used today
by the Indians of Yukon,
Aichdeacoti Macdonald found gold in the Circle district years ago,
on what is known as Preacher creek, named after him. He ieaves sev
eral children, one son of whom is now in the Yukon.
HOT ASR
E^HE man who deals in rainbows has came to town by stealth,
P B to catch the village beaux with tales of sudden wealth. I
hear his gorgeous ravings, his winter dreams and sich;
‘‘Bring me,” he says, "vour savings and I will make you rich; I’ve
coal mines in Nebraska (where coal does not exist), and peach
groves in Alaska (no peaches there, I wist); the nectarine and
prune shine on trees I have for sale, and I can sell you moonshine,
so hand be out your kale.” The easy marks are digging their ko
pecks from the jar, for hot air, never twigging what easy marks
they are. They hope to rake in riches and never pay the price; a
sucker always itches to be a sacrifice. I sidestep such disasters as
these men have in view; to my hard-earned plasters I stick like
patent glue. I cannot be enchanted by any hot air crank; my coin
is safely planted down in the village bank. I buy no dazzling
Ophirs a million miles away, no Belgian hares or gophers in Persia
or Cathay. No fish in the Nyatizas, no ice plants up in Nome; no
ginseng farms in Kansas, no silk works far from home. I save my
clammy roubles till there’s a seemly pile, and sidestep lots cf
troubles, and dance and sing and smile.—Walt Mason.
INVASION THAT
LASTED QUICK
El Paso, Sept 21.—In an attempt to
cross over into this city, Lieutenant |
Acosta, of the Mexican federal army,
was'today shot dead, and a number of
his followers wounded.
Acosta, with a small following, j
started across the bridge with the j
avowed intention of killing the grin-!
goes. As they were nearing the i
American side the Mexican officer or- j
dered his men to fire upon the customs j
officers. The latter reciprocated im
mediately and with telling effect, the
leader of the invaders being shot dead,
and the command driven back in great
disorder. Three Americans were in
jured in the fracas, and arrested for the
death of Acosta, but were later re
leased on $1,000 bonds each.
Immediately after the fracas about
a thousand Mexicans crowded the
bridge and hurled threats across at the
Americans for several hours, but did
not attempt to come on the Texas side.
General Scott, who is in charge of
the American troops here, ordered a
troop of cavalry and a company of in
fantry to guard the bridge, instructing
them that they were to kill the first
Mexican that crossed over it.
Reports received here from across
the river state that many American
women had been grossly insulted by
the greasers, and were in a state of
mortal fear.
The leaders of the Mexican forees as
sured General Scott this afternoon that
the attack of Lieutenant Acosta was
directly contrary to the orders of his
superiors. Several of the Mexican offi
cers attempted to prevent the attack,
but Acosta was drunk and threatened
to shoot them if they did not get out of
his way. The Mexican officers seDt
their apologies to General Scott, and
assured him that they would do any
thing in their power to rectify the in
jury done.

HELD BOTH MEN
TO GRAND JURY
Alter a preliminary hearing be
fore Commissioner Albrecht last
Monday Cedric L,. Cole, of Flat
City, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon upon Mead May
nard, was held in bonds of $i ,000
to await action of the grand jury.
Wi:h his head swathed, Mr May
nard was in court. His general ap
pearance was not in the least re.
mindful of the handsome man in
familiar patent medicine illustra
tions known as “after taking,’’ but
Mead evidently had. The commis
sioner held Maynard under bonds
of $500 to appear as a material wit
ness.
At the conclusion ot the hearing
Cole swore to a complaint charging
Maynard with a similar assault for
which lie (Cole) was held. May
nard waived preliminary hearing,
and furnished bonds in the sum ol
$i ,000.
Owing to the later complaint
the commissioner did not require
Maynard to furnish the $500 bond
to appear as a witness against Cole
INSANE GERMAN
KILLS SIXTEEN
Muelbausen, Germany, Sept, 13
—Imbued with the idea that there
were too many people in Germany
and that he was doing the nation a
service in relieving some of them of
their earthly existence, an insane
man armed with four revolvers ran
amuck yesterday and killed 16 per
sons and injured many more before
he was captured by the police.
