and Her Lifeboats Are Torn
From the Davits.
8y Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Seattle, Oct. 3—Steamer Humbolt
that went on the rocks in Active Pass,
and later floated and taken to Esqui
mault, has arrived here and goes on
dry dock. The boat is bably damaged.
The Portland has reached this port
having experienced the heaviest j
weather and gone through one of the ,
worst storms ever met with on her j
tripsin the Northern Pacific. The |
ship was rocked and tossed about in
the heavy seas until her life boats
were torn from their davits.
Last Night’s Dance
The dance given last night in i
Moore’s hall by the Seward baseball j
club in honor of Chris Culpepper, was
well attended in spite of the very
windy and rainy weather. Between
the dances and while refreshments
were being served the baseball club
took occasion to show their appre
ciation to Mi*. Culpepper for his ser
vices as catcher for the team at the j
time the game was played here be
tween Seward and Valdez, by present
ing him with a very handsome watch
charm made from solid gold wrought
by Mr. Babbage. The design is made
of balls and bats bearing date and
name. Mr. Culpepper was somewhat
surprised when called out, but re
sponded in a very appropriate speech
in which he fittingly expressed his
gratitude, and how much he appreciat
ed the kind and hospitable treatment
he had received from the people of
Seward.
Notwithstanding the stormy night
the dancers had a very enjoyable time,
and they anticipate the pleasure of
many more occasions of a similar
nature during the months to come.

I INK OWNER
UNDER ARREST

on Charge Growing Out of
Recent Failures.
8y Cable to Tlie Dally Gateway.
Goldfield, Oct. 3—Thomas Rickey
was arrested and placed in jail here
last night. Rickey is the principal
owner in a number of banks which ■
have failed within a recent period,
the charges placed against Rickey
when he was arrested grow out of the
failure of these banks.
A Horse's Sense of Danger
That a horse has the instincts of im
pending danger was demonstrated the
other afternoon when an animal be
longing to M. D. Swisher, county road
overseer, refused to act on the bit, ran
up the mountainside and saved its
rider from death in a cloud-burst.
Swisher was riding along Box Canon,
a narrow gulch, when the horse turned
from the road, and paying no attention
to the rider ran up the mountainside
and stopped on a ledge twenty feet
above. Swisher was mystified until he
saw water, about eight feet deep, rush
ing down the canon, tearing up bushes,
and upending everything movable.
The water was from a cloud-burst
about half a mile farther up the gulch
and the horse had heard the noise of
the rushing water before the rider.
Half a mile of the Box Canon road j
leading to Florissant was washed out
and bridges carried away. Swisher
remained on the mountainside for an
hour before he considered it safe to re
enter the canon.

C. H. Jacobs, A. C. Jacobs, W. J.
Morris, L. H. Herndon, John B. Hile
man, and H. McKinley arrived in
town last evening, coming from Nug
get creek. They came over the trail
