A Siberian Mime Horror.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Jan. o.
A story of a horrible tragedy in the
Siberian coal mines was made known.
today BY Chas. Wilson, mate of the seal
Ing schooner Geo r. White. For the
past three years this schooner has been
taking seals off the coast OF Alaska and
Siberia. On a trip In the spring of 1890
the schooner got into Russian waters and
barely escaped arrest. Another American
sealer at the time was captured by the
Russian authorities, says Wilson, and the
crew compelled to work In the coal mines.
Capt. Alex. Mclean of the schooner
Eddie E Webster of San Francisco, was
arrested, but it is not known whether
these men belonged to his or another
vessel. Two OF the crew of Americans.
names unknown, incurred the displeasure
of the officials because of disposition to
shlrk work. They we're chained together
with iron bands around their waists and a
large iron ball at the end of the chain.
One man was very large and the other
below the medium height. They were kept
under ground and had to dig a ~sertain
amount of coal each day or no food
would be sent down to them. The supply
got short and the big man ate his com
panions food for three days. The small
man became frantic with hunger aud muir
dered the greedy prisoner while he slept.
He called to the guard at the mouth of
the shaft and told him he had killed his
companion and asked to be loosened from
the dead man. The guard refused. In
desperation the small man took a coal
shovel and cut the dead man 10 two and
loosened the band from his waist.
Neither was seen again. The supposition
is that the murderer was killed by a guard
or starved to death. The story is told By
a prisoner who worked in the mines
where the tragedy occurred. Many ar
rests are reported of poaching s%ealers by
the Russian authorities, and many pris-
oners never leave the mines alive.

DISTRICT COURT ADJoURNs.
The Case Of Uncle Sam VS.. Kinney and
Parker Decided.

The case of the United States VS..
Messrs. Kinney and Parker, tor cutting
ties upon government lands, was disposed
of in the United States district court yes
terdav. Judge Riner presided and twelve
jurors we're ~empanelled. Alter consum-
ing a good portion of the day in hearing
the evidence. the jury was instructed and
retired. They soon returned with a YER
dict in favor of the plaintiff. They rec
commended that the defendants be fined
the sum of $243. or sixty cents per thou
sand ties which they had cut upon the
timber claims belonging to the United
States government.
This case is the outcome of the seizure
of those ties some time ago by Timber
Agent O'Brien. He seized them on the
same pea that he made in the district
that they were government prop
erty. The defendants replevined them and
Yesterdays trial was the climax.
Court then adjourned until April l

lived in a filthy howell a long while. de-

The common pimpernel, poor mans
weather glass" has the disadvantage
of being a native plant and has been al
most completely expelled from our
flower gardens in favor of e~xotics, which
are rarer but lack much of being as
pretty. The %pimpernel is a charming
little flower, which opens about 8 in the
morning and closes late in the afternoon,
but has the remarkable popularity of
indicating a coming shower by shutting
up its petals. For this reason, if for no
other, it deserves encouragement, and
would appropriately take the place of
some of the ugly tulips and other i'm
ported flowers now SO popular.-St.

The nick of tlmo to stop the course of
bladder and kidney complaints is when
the organs concerned exhibit a tendency
to grow inactive. The healtnful impulse
toward activity that they receive from
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them
from impending danger, and averts such
dangerous maladies as Brlght's disease
and diabetes. Sluggishness of the kid
neys increases a liability to chrome rheu-
matism. govt and dropsy, and since the
blood is filtered in these organs in its pas
sage through them, the bitters serve a
double happy purpose. The medicine
acts without exciting, like the frey stimu-
lants of commerce. Malarial. dyspeptic,
constipated and nervous invalids are
thoroughly relieved by it. Since the ad-
vent of that shocking malady, la grippe,

THE CHEYENNE LEADER ON the 18th

write up of Saratoga, the Upper Platte
valley and Gold Hill. The article in
question is a lengthy and exhaustive ex-
pose of the natural resources of those
places, and as such deserves much credit,
but to the man seeking the easiest and
shortest route into the new colorado, it is,
to say the least, mistaken. While Thu

easily read between the lines of some mo.

the talented writer, to make him so per
sistentlv ignore Carbon and the part she
is bound to play in the development and
building up OF this future great camp.
The only good turn The LEADER has
done Carbon in this special edition is 10
the map of Gold Hill and vicinity, which
is practically correct, plainly showing the
desirable location of Carbon as an outfit
ting point for the mines, and an outlet
for their wealth.
1t may be briefly but poIntedly re-
marked that THE LEADER gave Carbon
all the prominence the town has earned

PLUMB's RICH PLUMB.
He Loots the Treasures of Two
Railroad Societies.
Sends His Family Secretly Out of
the Country
And is Headed Off at Cheyenne en-
Route East.

An interesting account of the alleged
crime of r. s. Plumb OF Laramie, who
was arrested here by Depot Policeman
John Nowlan, IS found in the Laramie
Republican. 1t saws: Sheriff Yund
went over to Cheyenne today with a
warrant in his pocket for the arrest Of
Richard s. Plumb, treasurer of r. W.
Baxter. Jr.. Lodge No. CT, Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, and Of Laramie
Plains Lodge No. go. Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association. The warrant
was issued this morning at the instance
of Thomas Mead and George Scott. who
charge Plumb with emhezzling the funds
Of the organizations named.
The news of Plumb's alleged defalca-
ton will surprise many people in Laramie.
During his four years residence here he
has earned the reputation of being a good
and Industrious citizen. He is a brakeman
by occupation.
1T was a peculiar way that the mans
downfall was discovered. Last evening a
member of the Trainmen's Brotherhood
was waiting to be served In a Second
street store when he overheard one man
casually remark to another that he
guessed Dick Plumb intended to leave
the country, as he had Just sent his family
East The brakeman regarded it as sus-
plcious that Plumb had kept his family's
departure a secret, and lost no time in
communicating his suspicious to his asso-
ciates. A sort of general inquiry was
then started by Messrs. Mead and
Scott and they found enough facts
to warrant them in getting Plumb
arrested. Among the things learned
was that Plumb's residence. at $50 Third
street was closed; that the furniture had
been sold and Mrs. Plumb and her child
sent to Missouri; that at 7 O'Clock last
night Plumb had entered a popular wet
goods store, tossed his treasurer's receipt
books to the bartender and requested him
to give them to some of the bows" that
he had Immediately afterwards embarked
for Cheyenne, that before leaving he had
applied for the full amount of the salary
owing him-and minor incidents in pro-
fusion to establish ignomonious flight.
1.-THE other officers of the switchmen's
society decline to say anything about the
matter until they have investigated it.,
which will require some time. The mem
bers of the trainmen's order are less re
ticent. but they can discover nothing
definite until certain kilograms of inquiry
sent out today are answered. On the
10th instant Plumb was instructed by the
lodge to send $l35 to Ogden In settle
ment of a death claim, but whether he
did so can only be learned by communion
ton with that city, as no receipt for the
money can be found And how his ac-
count with the grand lodge stands Is also
a mystery. His last squarlng up with the
supreme order took place three months
ago. Since that time he has received a
great deal of money.

A florist makes the assertion that a
blue rose is among the impossibilities,
but, while an explanation of this curl
Gus fact may be equally impossible, he
fails to mention a very interesting law
which governs the colorings of all
flowers. A knowledge of this law would
ave many flower growers hours of I'M
availing and foolish hope. The law is
simply this: The three colors-red, blue
and yellow-never all appear in the same
species of flowers; any two may exist,
but never the third. Thus we nave the

New YORK, Jan. 22.-Replying to the
demand of the Missouri Pacific for a spe
cial meeting OF the advisory board of the
Western Traffic Association to consider
the charge of violation OF Its agreement,
President Roswell Miller today wrote Mr..
Gould saying it was very doubtful if
a quorum could be had for such
special meeting and trusting Mr..
Gould would not insist on it. If the
quorum is not present at the regular
April meeting he would then consider it
his duty to call a special meeting. With
patience in the matter he was sure the
association would be much strengthened.

o! the objections and acquiescIng in them.
particularly in view of the statement OF
no quorum at the next regular meeting a
special meeting will be called.
