GUARDS BODY
HELD HIS POST UNTIL KILLED
Canine Companion of Jack Reynold*
Refused to Permit Anyone to Ap
proach Body of Ma*ter and He Had
to Be Shot—Buried with Master.
Nels Jepson arrived In town last
evading from Beaver Dain, and will
leaVe today to return home. Mr. Jep
son and William Sitz are the parties
who recently found the body of Jack
Reynolds, an old-time prospector in
that section, who died, apparently
while asleep on the trail.
In speaking of the death of Mr.
Reynolds, Mr. Jepson stated that the
evening before he and Mr. Sitz met
Reynolds on the trail In the early
evening. They were making their
way toward the Teikhell roadhouse
to spend the night, and Invited Rey
nolds to accompany them, as they
knew he was not well supplied with
grub. After a little urging he half
way consented to do so.
At this time Reynolds was a littie
way off the trail on the fide of the
hill, and had to go a short way
around to get down to the trail. Jep
son and Sitz went on toward the road
house, but on arriving there ordered
supper for three, but Reynolds did
not appear and after waiting for some
time they proceeded to eat their sup
per and retired for the night. In the
morning they went to Reynolds' cab
in, but he had not been there, and
they proceeded up the creek to an
other camp where Reynolds some
times stopped, but be was not there.
Being then almost certain that
something had happened to the old
man they proceeded on up the creek,
and had gone about twenty niiunies'
walk when Reynolds’ dog came run
ning down the trail toward them,
barking savagely, showing his teeth,
and threatening to attack them. They
were then assured that something wus
wrong, and advancing contiousty they
finally discovered the body of Rey
nolds lying under the shelter of .1
large windfall.
At this time (he dog became so sav
age that they feared to advance any
farther^. They called to Reynolds
a number of times, but he failed to
respond, and the fear that lie had
passed away became conviction. They
returned to Teikhell and telegraphed
the news to the marshal's office here,
and later received authority to bury
the body. They made tlieir way to
where the remains laid, but the fuitn
ful dog was still on guard, and they
were compelled to shoot him befnr
they could approach the body. Tile
body of the old prospector lay as lie
had composed himself to sleep. His
hat, gloves and gun lay beside him;
one arm was under his head, and the
easy posture indicated that the end
had come peacefully as he slept.
Messrs. Jepson and Sltz dug the
grave near by and reverently laid the
body In its last resting place with his
faithful dog at his feet, and erected
at the head of the grave a wooden
tablet hewed from the trunk of a
tree, beartag, his name, age and dati
of his death.
Little Is known of Reynolds’ ante
cedents. He was of a rather unso
ciable disposition and had no conli-,
dants. Prom remarks he dropped
from time to time, It has been learn
ed that he was at one time well fixed
financially, having inherited a con
siderable sum from his parents and
had also been lucky in mining ven
tures at Dawson, Fairbanks and
Nome, which had netted him in the
vicinity of a quarter of a million dol
lars, but he had gone through with it
all, and prior to his death for the
past two years had a hard time to
secure proper food.
22.S00.000 TIRES IS
ESTIMATE FOR 1017
Careful estimates of the probable
demand for tires next year have led
to the conclusion that the total re
•quirements for 1917 equipment will
ibe not far from 22,500,000 tires. This
Is on the usual basis of five casings
per car per year average requirement.
Automobile production next year, tire
experts figure will approach 1,400,
000 cars, although lower estimates
were at Hist considered. The total
consumption of tires during the cur
rent year It is believed will total be
tween fifteen and sixteen millions.

*. \ _
BUUMNGIIAM, England, Oct. 4.—
Viscount Bryce, in an address before
the Congregational Union last night
sounded a new note in the sentiment
of Engluud toward tthe great Euro
pean struggle, and the fact that It
was icceived without mnletial oppo
sition indicates that the sentimeut
throughout the country is steadily
undergoing a change, and outside of
the ultra-military class the hatred ot
Germany engendered during the ear
ly months of the struggle, is disap
pearing. Tlte address of Viscount
Bryce was a plea for sanity with re
gard to nations now fighting the En
tente allies. He decried the attempts
to stir up hatred against Germany
and the advocacy of a trade warfare
against that nation'after the present
struggle. He strongly advocated the
formation of a powerful league to
restrain aggression between nations
and to compell the submission to ar
bitration of all differences that may
arise. He declared that we might well
despair for the future if a recurrence
of such a war as the present one
should be possible. The speaker laud
ed the utterances of President Wil
son and Hughes favoring permanent
peace. He declared that the first step
toward the end of the war must hr
tlie elimination c.f all hatred, and the
sooner tills was accomplished the bel
ter for the whole world.
