Watertown, X. Y., Sept — Word reached here recently that
Frederick Brosseau, aged 24, who was kidnaped by gipsies nearly
17 years ago, has been restored to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Brosseau, of Sissonville. X. Y. They had long mourned him as
dead. On October 1 1, 1*96, when but 7 years of age, young Bros
seau left home to meet his father at the edge of the village. That
was the last seen of the boy in Sissonville.
About a week ago the young man deserted from a band of gip
sies in the Canadian wilds and took refuge with the monks of Oka,
whose isolated monastery is 40 miles from Montreal.
He could remember nothing of bis history previous to becom
ing a member of the band, except that he had been called Fred,
and that his former home was in northern Xew York. The pres
ence of the wanderer >vas reported by the monks to the Montreal
police, and an aunt of the young man recognized his picture in a
newspaper. The parents were notified and went to Montreal,
where they positively identified Brosseau by a birthmark. He is
being detained as a witness against some of the gipsies who are
under arrest charged with kidnaping.
Cornish, X. H , Sept, i. — According to an announcement made
today by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the marriage of her daughter. Jessie
Woodrow, to Francis Sayre will take place sometime during the latter
part of September. The wedding will be celebrated at the A hite House,
in Washington, and according to Mrs. Wilson, will be as unostentatious
as possible.
The bride-to be was Injured quite severely last week when thrown
by her horse, but is now resting comfortably, and will be entirely re
covered within a week.
The future son-in-law of the President has been, since his gradua
tion from Harvard law school, employed in District Attorney \\ hit
man's office, at Xew York, but has resigned that position to accept a
place on the faculty of Williams college, his alma mater. After the
wedding the young couple will reside in a new home prepared by Mr.
Sayre at Williamstown, Mass.

New York, Sept. 8.—Attorney General McKeynolds will re
sign, so says the New York Press in its editorial columns. Speak
ing for the cabinet member, the Press says that Mr. McKeynolds
feels that ho is handicapping the administration, and that he would
rather resign at this time than “be the goat.”
The hand of the attorney general was forced last week by a
coterie of the enemy headed by Delegate Wickersham, of Alaska,
who called upon President W ilson for the purpose of opposing the
pardon of Bullock and Houston, which has been approved by Mr.
McKeynolds.
Delegate Wickersham was most emphatic in his charges
against the Department of Justice, and stated that there was no
doubt in his mind that it was under the dominance of the Guggen
heims, and that the recommendation for the pardon was brought
about by these influences.
The Press does not state when the resignation will be handed
in, but it is presumed that it will be forthcoming before the end of
the present week.
Thus far the President and his cabinet have been in absolute
harmony, with the exception of the Department of Jnstice, and it
has been rumored for some time that the chief executive and Mr.
McKeynolds were at loggerheads. The break, it is said, came
when the Diggs-Oaminetti affair arose, although the President, at
that time, backed up bis assistant.
The present case, for which Delegate Wickersham is attacking
the department, is that of Bullock and Houston, who were con
victed at Tacoma about a year ago, for defrauding the government
at Nome- Both men are now serving time in the King county
(Wash.) jail.

Nome Nugget, August 22: That the strike on the Golden Cow •
promises to be one of the most important made for a long time is
now almost certain. Since the story of the strike was published
yesterday in the Nugget it has transpired that the find is far
greater than had been supposed, and it now is even expected that
it will result in the uncovering of riches which are as great as those:
on the third beach. One former operator on the third beach line
who took out at least, a quarter of a million dollars from that won
derful paystreak states that if the pay on the Golden Cow extends
to the north as far as it has extended to the south a find greater
than the average run of the third beach line will be an accom
plished fact.
That the strike is greater than what has been found on the
Chisana seems to be evident. This is not stated at all for any other
purpose than as an interesting fact. In 20 cars taken from the
ground the other day the sum of $105 was realized, and these cars
are unusually small
Mr. Brissette, the layman, is now moving out a hopper, gaso
line engine, pipes and all the other necessaries for the operation of
the ground. Some people who know the property and all the cir
cumstances express the belief that the pay may be followed for a
long distance, and that another strike of the first importance to
this camp has been made. The owners of the claim have kept
quiet about the strike, but it has gradually leaked out and so many
many people know of it now that there is no purpose to be served
in keeping quiet about it any longer.

of Tammany in this city, in an editorial this morning claims that the

of New York, and fusion candidate, is fast gaining strength, and that
his election is practically assured.

Sunday morning (August io) at
2 o’clock Frank Sundell, a young
jewelry SP.lesman, accidentally shot
and killed Ruby Scott, a resident of
the Douglas restricted district, and
when he saw that the shot had
proved fatal, turned the weapon
upon himself and sent a bullet
through his own heart.
Sundell and the Scott woman
were scuffling in a playful manner,
neither one of them intoxicated,
both were laughing heartily and in
the best (if humor when Sundell
tried to catch the woman in his
arms. She playfully shoved him
back and he reached into his hip
pocket and pulled out a Colt’s 25
calibre automatic revolver and
aimed it at the woman’s face. I11
some way the weapon was dis
charged and the bullet entered the
woman’s mouth, which was open
with laughter, and she fell to the
floor.
Spectators arrived upon the scene
and someone asked who shot the
woman, and Suudell answered ‘‘I
die, but it was an accident,” and
the people present were then star
tled by the sound of a muffled re
port of a revolver, he having pulled
the trigger of the pistol that he had
pressed to his breast. The bullet
entered at the left nipple and pene
trated the heart, and the man fell
over on the floor dead, In the
meantime Ruby Scott was bathed
in a torrent of blood, the bullet
ranging downward and no doubt
severing an artery, and before a
physician could arrive she was
| dead. __

FRISCO MIDDLEWEIGHT
DISCARDED AS FAILURE
S in Francisco, August 27.—Bob
McAllister is a wonderful boxer,
1 ut he couldn’t emeu an egg. He
w o n ’ t do.
This is the opinion of nine out ot
ten men today who sa.w McAllister,
highly touted Olympic club won
der, and Sailor lid Petroskey go to
a 20 round draw here alter one of
the hardest battles San Francisco
has seen in years.
It is probable that during the
fight McAllister hit Petroskey not
less than ten billion times. Jabs,
uppercuts, straight rights and lefts,
swings, hooks, and nearly every
other blow ever heard of came spat
on the sailer’s anatomy. Not one
of them made him break ground.
Smash on the jaw would come one
of the Olympian’s wallops and Pe
troskey would only laugh and bore
in. There was no kick here.
On the other hand, Petroskey
showed little class. He was a
hardy, husky fighter with a wal
lop. That was all He seemed to
have little under his hair hut his
skull. _
HILLMAN WILL
QUIT SEATTLE
Seattle, Sapt. io.—Clarence D,
Hillman, who was recently par
doned from the penitentiary, has
sold all of his real estate holdings
in this state, and expects to leave
soon for Pasadena, Cal., where he
will spend the remainder of his days.
With the exit of Hillman, one of
the most notorious land swindling
cases in the history of the state will
come to close. Hillman has aged
greatly since he was first incarcer
ated, and many of his friends inti
mate that he will not live long in
the south. Since his pardon it is
said that he sold his holdings for
upwards of a million dollars.

Washington, August 30. — Sena
tor James Hamilton Lewis, of 111 i
nois, Beau Brummel of the senate,
has qualified in a new role. He
had just dined at a local hotel re
cently and was waiting at the door
for his bat. A stately dowager,
one of Maine’s delegation of woman
stiff;agists entered. Her eyes fell
upon Lewis.
‘■Will you seat me at one cl
those tables near the window?’’she
asked.
Lewis bowed low and, with the
essenca of courtliness, led the way
to a desired table, while other diueis
looked with open-eyed astonish
ment .
He pulled out a chan and as
sisted the woman to be seated.
Pic king up a menu card, which was
in front of her she looked at Lewis
and said;
"What would you advise me to
take?”
"Well, madame,” answered
Lewis with a most inoffensive and
affable smile, “weie I not married
I would advise you to take me.
Since I am a benedict I could not
a ivise you to break the law. How
ever, if you ate referring to some
thing to eat, I will be glad to call
the head w'aiter for you.”
The woman’s face took on the
hue of an August sunset.
