SAVAGE BEASTS OF
PREY CREATE HAVOC
AMONG REINDEER
(Iditarod Pioneer.)
During the present winter, probably
because of the almost total disappear
ance of small game, such as ptarmi
gan, grouse, rabbits, etc., there have
been evidences of unusual ferocity
among beasts of prey such as wolves, j
lynx, etc. Lynx, which heretofore
have not been plentiful in this part of:
Alaska, are numerous and savage.
Driven to desperation by hur^er, they |
are said to be attacking and devouring
caribou and even reindeer. A1 Walsh,
who arrived in the city on Wednesday
evening last from the Innoko country,
reports that lynx are fearlessly at- j
tacking the reindeer herds under the
very eyes of the herders. Twitched
and his Lapp partners recently drove
their herds into thaat region, and it is
said that since then many of the ani
mals have been killed by lynx. The
reindeer men are now devoting a good
deal of their time to trapping, and arej
said to have captured several of the
animals.

IS AFTER THE
NEW YORK, April 3.—The Rev.
Wiliam Asher Sunday, better known
as Billy Sunday, is out to lick the
kaiser. The words are Billy’s own.,
He says if war comes before he opens
his tabernacle here on Easter Sunday j
he will use the huge building for a
recruiting station and will launch a
campaign against Wiliam Hohenzol-i
lern.
“Jesus, you’re taking a lot of back
talk from the kaiser,” said Billy em
phatically.
“I wish, Lord, you’d tell America I
to help wipe Germany off the map, as j
you commanded Israel to destroy the j
idolatrous anil corrupt Canaanites. I
Count Billy Sunday in up to his neck
esus, when war comes.”
"What will l do?” he echoed. “Why
I’ll turn that New York tabernacle in- j
to a recruiting station. I’ll call for j
recruits, volunteers for Christ and
the United States army. I’l have re
cruiting officers there to sign them
up. I’ll raise enough of an army my
self to beat down to the dust the
devil’s hordes that are murdering our
womenfolk.
“Jesus will be our commander-in
chief and he has Von Hindenburgj
beaten to a frazzle. And maybe He |
hasn’t it in for Germany for the mis
erable heresy that crawled out of |
Leipsic and Heidelberg.”
In the summer of 1862 when Abra- !
ham Lincoln called for volunteers.'
Billy Sunday’s father left his log
cabin at Ames, Iowa, to become a pri
vate in Company K of the Twenty
third Iowa volunteers. One month
afterward he contracted measles and
died and four months later little Bil
ly was born.
"I’d be a poor mut of a spineless
pacifist,” said Billy, recounting the
story, '“if I didn’t show up in the front
ranks, now, wouldn’t I?”
