the Unfortunate Victims.
Rocky BAR, Dec. %, 1892.
EDITOR BULLETIN: This has been
the sadest Christmas ever known at
Rocky Bar. Two of our old-time
and good citizens were to-day laid
away in their eternal sleep in the
little cemetery near where there
bodies were found. This sad occur
renee was brought about in the
following manner: David Barclay
and Joseph Nicholson were work
ing mining claim owned by Bare
lay, situated on Red Warrior hill,
about one mile from this place, and
they and their families were living
at the Bar. They walked to and
from their work morning and even
ing, and on Friday the 23d started
out to perform their daily task.
Not returning that evening on time
their wives became alarmed about
their absence. They conveyed their
anxiety to their neighbors and soon
a searching party of big hearted
men composed of the following
named gentlemen, James Hartwell,
Granville Mitten, Ike Fitzwater,
Foley Abbott and Dan Ehrgood.
With lights in hand, about 8 O'clock,
they started out bent upon rescuing
their friends if possible. At the
head of Idaho Flat 1.-THE cemetery
in gulch along which the trail ran
leading to Red Warrior, the search
ing party observed snow slide, and
also evidences that led them to be-
lieve that the men were covered be.
meath it. They Immediately COM
menced shoveling and after three
hours hard work uncovered the
bodies Of Joseph Nicholson and
David Barclay, lying beneath about
four feet of packed snow. They
were cold in death, and the bodies
were conveyed home to their grief,
stricken Notwithstanding there
about one o'clock that night.
The whole town is in mourning
over this sad occurrence and every
heart gives sympathy for the poor,
heart-broken wives and children OF
J Joe and Dave.
Barcley leaves a wife and two
little girls. He was native OF
Missouri and about 35 years Of age.
Nicholson was brother of Judge
James Nicholson Of this place. lie
leaves a wife and two boys, one 4
years old and the other months
He also was a native of Missouri
and about 30 years old
A double funeral was held on
Christmas day from the home OF
Joe Nicholson, and was attended by
nearly everybody in this town.
One singular fact in this connection
is that Barclays dog was covered al
the same time, near the unfortunate
men, and when found he was alive
and is as frisky as ever.

ON A TRUSTS TRAIL.
Uncle Sans Men Chasing the
COPdago Trust.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The powerful
machinery of the government, which
worked so we'll in securing indictments
against the Whisky trust officials, has
now been set in motion against the
Cordage trust, which has been boosting
prices with high hand lately. Charles
NJ Horton, the representative of the
department of justice, who swore
out the warrants for the arrest of
President Greenhut and other Whisky
trust officials last week, has been in
yeStigating the methods of he Cordage
trust in this city for several days. Last
night Mr. Horton left for Minneapolis,
where he will confer with the United
States district attorney and secure adj
ditional evidence to prove that com
bination controls the market for Cordage.
Mr.. Horizons investigations while here
have been conducted in very secret
manner, but partial facts leaked out this
morning. The facts which Mr.. Horton
has secured will probably be laid
before the federal grand jury
at Boston, New York or Phil
adelphia. What evidence Mr.. Horton
secured while in Chicago is not known.
District Attorney MilchriSt admitted
with great reluctance this morning that
Mr.. Horton has been investigating the
Cordage trust, but he said he did not
care to make any statement of the case,
as premature publication of the facts
would injure the governments case.
II know very little about the facts"
said Mr.. Milchrist, land the matter
ought not to be agitated at the present
time. The Cordage trust. l understand,
has two concerns in Boston, several in
New York state and one or two in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states. l
cannot say how far the investigation
has gone. and would prefer not to say
anything at present"

is also rather an unsavory character, and
as his allegations are Indignantly de-
MED by Alexander, they are somewhat
shOrn of the weight that would other
wise be given them. There were said
to be other affidavits shown the judge
at the previous hearing, but
thus far they have not been
placed where the public can
get at their contents, and Mrs. Els
worth's friends declare that they exist
only in the plaintiffs vivid magma
ton, while they do not hesitate to as
sert that the dispositions above men,
toned were procured through the lib
eraI use of the Ellsworth Shekels. On
the other hand Mr.. Ellsworth's sup
porters claim that he will be able to
fully establish all his charges and even
more, and declare that he has letters
written by his wife to other men, which
fully Substantiate them. So far as pop
ular sympathy goes il seems to be prln-
cipally with the wife. There are not to
exceed a dozen men and women IN
Iowa Falls who uphold Mr.. Ellsworth in
his action. Both parties have lived
here for years, and the general verdict
in the lady'S favor is certainly not with
out significance. But then next Tues

BEHRNo SEA- SHOWING POSSESSIONS THE UNITED STATES

way of protection for the nursing female
seals on the islands, which range, in
search Of food, over radius Of 200 and
800 miles in the sea around the rock
cries, and the Pelagic Sealer will find
more females 100 miles out from the
islands in Behring sea than he will
thirty miles.
If this is the decision of Great Brit
ain, then there is no use of further
attempts on our part to save these inter
ests from utter ruin. Congress should
at once take notice of this result OF the
conference, which has been looked up
in stupid secrecy at the state depart
ment during the last three weeks. A
bill should be promptly passed which
will repeal the restriction which now
prevents the slaughter or molestation of
female seals on the islands.
The Herald's Washington man saw
and asked Prof. Elliott, the recognized
authority on the life and habits of the
seal, who spent many seasons in Beh-
ring sea as a government agent lnVeStl-
eating the whole matter, to give state
ment as to the effect of the English
ultimatum. The professor said:
If the alleged ultimatum is true, the
ruin and ext ermination Of the fur seals
is at hand. Unless the moduS vlvendl
is renewed. the p0achers will kill prac-
-tically all the seals left on the Islands.
The law now protects these islands by
prohibiting the Iessees from killing or
mOltSting any female seals, and the
government has large force there to
See that the law is obeyed. The seals
as they exist there today are in the
ratio of forty females to one male.
All the surplus male life that can
be taken nnder the terms Of the
present law next year will not number
10000 seals. Right on the ground by
them rest 200, 000 females. Large as the
number is, it is only ong-third of what
located on the rOokerieS sixteen years
ago. The females come to the island to
nurse their young for four months, COM
ing and going constantly in search of
food for distance of 200 or 800 miles.
They spread out in seeking fish.
Shutting the Pelagic fleet out thirty
miles would not prevent the Sealers
from getting as good chance to kill
these nursing mothers as though the
poachers were allowed to hunt within
three miles of the shore. One hundred
and twenty vessels manned by 1900
men, next summer will destroy the herd
without going within fifty miles Of the
islands The pups will starve, and
there will not be enough seals left to
develop herd OF commercial value for
twenty years. Congress-" Mr.. Elliott
continued, SHOULD ascertain at
once whether this proposition of
Lord Salifbury is final or not. If
it is, bill should be passed immedi-
ately repeating the law preventing the
killing of female seals on the islands.
If the Canadian and American poachers
are to be allowed to kill the female seals
rt
ought to be allowed a chance to get
their share. The poachers will pay the
government nothing, but for every seal
killed on the islands the government
gets tax of $40. This money should
form a fund for the maintenance of the
unfortunate natives of the seal islands,
who are wholly dependent upon this
industry,

partment, today transmitted to congress
a communication from Special Agent
Williams, in charge of the seal Islands
of Alaska, asking an appropriation Of
$4,000 to furnish food, fuel, clothing.
etc.. necessary during the ensuing fiscal
year, to prevent suffering and destitu-
ton among the native Inhabitants of
the islands.
Mr.. Williams communication says:
1.-THE failure in the year 1890 of the sup
ply of killable seals, whereby only
$4,000 skins were secured, and of 1891,
whereby only 1900 were taken, instead
, of the usual number of 100000 annu-
ally, has left these people with only
one-siXth of the sum they formerly had
for their support" Mr.. Williams calls
attention to the fact that, notwithstand-
ing the Limitation of seal taking during
1901, there will be due to the United
States within the next thirty days,
from the lessees Of the islands, 1928, 457,

1t Will Play a Part in the Baker
Trial.
ASHLAND, Wis, March 5.-The third
week of the Baker trial is at an end,
and nearly enough witnesses are left
to occupy the whole of next week, so
that it is hardly probable the case can
be given to the jury for at least ten
days more. AS the case proceeds but
little startling or new evidence is
brought out. Baker, who was under
going crOSS-eXamination when court adj
journed last evening, was recalled this
morning, and but little could be learned
of benefit from him. Following Baker
came Mrs. Phelps Perrin, who was only
questioned regarding what presents her
husband had bought her. Homer Mill

in substantiating Bakers claim of
having money before the rob

ing good time, saying he was celebrat-
ing his birthday. Willard saw Baker
have roll of bills and saw him change
one over the bar. This is cOrrobOrative
of Bakers and Ryan'S testimony, which
was to his having plenty of money be-
fore the night of Sept. 90, when the rob-
berry occurred. William Curtis, a for
mer waiter in the theater at Hurley,

WHAT WAS IN THE BOTTLE ?
Suspicious Death Of a st. Croix
County Man.

special to the Globe
HUDSON, Wis, March 5.-David Heff-
rou, an old resident of st. Croix county
living near the village of Boardman,
died this morning at o'clock under
suspicious circumstances. He had sold
a load of wheat yesterday at Boardman
and returned to within half mile of
his home. Here he met man and the
two sat, each in his own wagon, and
talked a while. During the converse
ton the other man, whose name is not
yet known, took a bottle from his
pocket and gave Heffron something to
drink. Mrs. HeffrOn, hearing her hus-
baud talking loud, went out to see what
was the matter. Before she reached
them or got close enough to recognize
the other man they parted, apparently
in good humor. Hebron showed signs
of intOxication, and soon after went
into a stupor from which he never
rallied. No intOXicants are sold at
Boardman, and the drink the unknown
man gave him is supposed to be the only
one he had. He was thrifty farmer,
and was we'll respected, his great
fault being that he was riotous while
under the influence of liquor. 1t is
understood that post norton will be
held and the case investigated.
