An Alaskan Romance.
[cor. San Francisco Chronicle ]

Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.l
The Captain and Lieutenant OF one OF
the companies stationed at Sltka in the
first year Of the United States possession
fell desperately In love with the same beau
tiful Russian. She was most charming
woman, with soft, mysterious eyes, pale
delicate face, and slow dreamy smile
that set the two warriors wild. All the
garrison knew Of their fierce rivalry, so
marveled not little when thsir old
friendship appeared to be restored, and
the two suitors started of on hunting ex-
pedition together. One haggard man re-
turned two days later and told that mis-
companion had been attaked and gored to
death by an enraged buck in the forest.
He was gloomy and strange in his manner
and at nghtfall went to the house of the
Russian lady ito break the news Of his RI
val's death.
| The friends of the lost officer talked the
thing over, and suspec.ing that duel had
been fought decided to 20 out next day
/ and search for the body. In the morn
/ ing the surviving rival was found dead in
bed with a look of agony and horror on his
face. One story was that his victim had
appeared to him, and he had died OF fright
and terror; the other was that some UNI
known and subtle poison had been admin
istered to him in cup Of tea, and the Off
cial report ascribed his death to heart dis
ease. The body of the lost rival was found
at the foot of steep bank on the shore oi
Indian River, where a tangle of ferns
bushes and grasses shaded and almost GOV
cred the clear still pool in which he lay
His rife lay near him, and bullet hole il
the heart told the sad truth that his friends
had suspected. Hisdeath was officially at
tributed to the accidental discharge Of his
own rife while hunting, and under thes'
two verdicts the real truths were con
cealed. The family Of the Russian beauty
disappeared from Sitka In a few months
and the story had been half forgotten unit
the recent opening Of path along Indiai
River revealed 1t to some who lived here u
the time. .......

looks upon the theft OF gold dust as Q
crime almost equal to murder, received an
illustration in the hanging OF man named
Dolan Tor robbng miner of some 500

Highland, Pine Grove aud dozen
other camps assembled, and at night, on o

The vigilantes were forced to organize
here, hanged several murderers, and be

property as safe as in older communities
1t was in the summer of 1866 that Idaho
City was sacked and burned by outlaws
and gang of desperadoes attempted tt
fire Virginia City, but were foiled. The
Vigilance Committee, which had long be
fore disbanded, was at once called to
gether. On July 18th the horrible Port
neuf tragedy occurred; the overland stag
from Virginia City to Salt Lake was at
tackled, robbed of $65,OOO, and four passen
gers were killed and several more wound
ed. One of the road agents was after
wards captured and executed. Several
criminals were hanged by the resuscitateo
Vigilance Committee, but by the begin
ming Of 1866 all necessity for its existence
had passed. Like the famous Vigilante
Organization of California 1t had been
called upon twice, and twice had done the
work that was needed as truly repre-
sentative body Of determined citizens who
did not take the law into their hands unit
