DEATH IN A WHIRLPOOL.
Four Government Employees Drowned
in Snake River.

SPOKANE, Nov. PA Reuiew special
from Lewiston, Idaho. gives particulars of
the drowning of four young men near
there. in Dick river, this afternoon. A
government scow has been at work clear
ing distractions out of the river for about
three months, and at the time of the dis
aster it was anchored off the mouth of
Dry Hollow. Ten men were aboard and
six we're in a skiff alongside the drill pipe.
The water runs very swift at this point
and there are some treacherous rapids.
in a twinklng the skif was cap
sized and the occupants were floun-
dering in the waters of Snake river
Two of the men, named Mohl and Kuhn,
swan ashore, the scow being only about
forty or fifty feet from the bank but the 9TH
ers either could not swim or were afraid to
make the effort. They clung 10 the capsized
boat and were quickly swept down the
stream about 300 feet. There they were
caught in a whirlpool and torn away from
the boat and all four were drowned. The
victims were:
WILLIAM wIGGISs, member OF a prominent
family here.
+. ". EVANS, foreman of the scow, aged 40
years.
HARykY WILLIAMS, of London. England, aged
50 years.
REUBEN NEuNEYER, aged . years.
After the men were swept into the whirl-
pool they sank and none of them came TO
the surface For a minute the men on
board the scow were dazed by the horror
of the situation. Then another skif was
manned and an effort made TO rescue the
victims. After lively chase for
swo miles the capsized boat was over
taken. Hope was entertained that some
of the men might yet be clinging to it, but
this proved to be disappointment.
1t is thought that all of the victims
were swept loose in the first
whirlpool. At 7:30 p. IN. none of
the bodies had been recovered, and it
is considered doubtful whether they
will be found. Men from this place and
ranches along the river are at work to-
night. and hontires have been lighted
along the shore to assist them in their
search

Northern Pacific Passengers
Held Up Near Hot Springs.
WORK OF THREE MASKED THUGS
Went Through the Sleeper While the
Train Was Going at Full Speed.
Desperadoes Secure 81 400 and Half a
Dozen Watches - When Their Job
Was Completed, They Pulled the
Bell Cord, stopped tho Train and
DISAPPEARED.

The Northern Pacific train from the
East was held up by three masked robbers
at Hot Springs last night and the pas
sengers on the sleeping car were robbed of
about 81 200 and five or six gold watches.
The robbers seem to have boarded the
train at Hot Springs station and remained
on the rear platform of the sleeper Wa
dena, which was on the rear end of the
train. until it had started. They then en-
tered the car. and one went to the front
end and the other two remained inside the
rear door.
With an oath they ordered the trembling
and astonished passengers to sit still and
hold up their hands as they presented re-
volvers at them. Then the two at the rear
end proceeded to ''go through" the pas
sengers.
The two at the rear end went to work
systematically. There were ten or twelve
passengers on board and all were relieved
of money and valuables. One man in the
smoking compartment made a show of re-
sistance. but was quickly brought to sub
mission with blow on the head with
revolver, and made to empty mis- pockets.
Another passenger, who came to Seattle
with his wife and two little daughters,
was sitting across the aisle from the latter
when a revolver was poked in his face
with the order:
''Hold up your hands,"
He hesitated for moment, but one of
the children said:
"Don't move, papa. Hold up your
hands and he won't hurt YOU"
He took the child's advice and was re.
lieved of $500 in cash, gold watch and
chain, his tickets and baggage checks.
While the robbers were searching this
man passenger camesfrom the car ahead.
They fired at him, thinking, apparently,
that he had come tor the rescue, but did
not hit him, and he retired.
The colored porter was the worst
frightened man on board. He lay down
on the floor and threw up his hands in
abject terror.
The robbers only went through the
sleeper and secured 81 200 in cash, five or
six gold watches and CHER valuables.
After completing their work, which oc-
cupied about five minutes, they pulled the
belcord twice as signal to slow up. The
engineer, apparently not knowing the
circumstances, slowed up and the robbers,
after one pull at the bell as signal to go
ahead, jumped off and disappeared in the
darkness, after firing five or six shots.
The mems familiarity with the arrange
ment of the train and with the signals
indicates that they were either trainmen
or had worked in that capacity.
