her to her sisters house. When they had
arrived there

to induce both to leave the room. AS soon
as they did so, as they claim, he went

jewelry, taking S45 in money, pair OF
diamond sleeve-buttons, several fine lace
handkerchiefs and other articles. There
were also taken two annual passes over the

and an Old-tlme Rocky mountain hunter
and snow sheer, and II. G. Wadsworth,
president of The Buffalo. N. Y, Snow Shoe
club. These men all claim to be expert
enced Show shoers. This excursion is
gotten up by the Northern Pac fic
road and will be the first evermade through
the park in the winter Mr.. HAYNES will
take with him one of the finest photograph
ing machines that can be purchased, and
photographs of all prominent points along
the line of the run will be taken, which will
give beautiful views and winter scenes in
the park that have never been photographed
or painted. The party leaves to. morrow
afternoon and will arrive at Mammoth Hot
Springs, from which point they start Satur
day. Jan. 2. 1t is expected that the trip
will occupy two weeks, and the journey
will be made on snow shoes and Norwegian
skis. The line of the run will be away
from the old trail. 1t will extend east from
Mammoth Springs to Yoncey's and Tower
Falls on the Yellowstone river; from this
they will go south and over Mt. Washburn,
the highest mountain in the park. whose
peak is perpetually covered with snow. Its
height above the level of the. sea
is 1O.34O feet. From the mountain they
will proceed to the grand canon and south
to Yellowstone lake. then west across the

Morris. From Morris the party will go
west to the cascades when they double on
their tracks, returning to Morris and pro-
ceed north to Mammoth hot springs, the
point from which they will start. The
route covers nearly hundred and seventy
five miles. This Is quite an Important
trip as it is the only one ever made over
that country in the winter and many new
points will be visited, which will be rem
dered much more interesting since they
will be winter scenes. The Northern
Pacific people have been contemplating this
trip for several months and General Passen-
ger Agent Fee has been in correspondence
with Lieut.. Schwatka regarding the matter
for long time. The snow shoers will re-
turn in time to enjoy the ice carnival here.
