TOOK A FATAL DRAUGHT.
THE TRAGIC DEATH OF LIEUTEN-
ANT SCHWATKA,
The Explorer Found In a Dying Condi-
tion ON the Street at Portland,
Ore, From ar Overdose
of Laudanum,

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 2.-Lieutenant
Frederick @. Schwatka, who made his
name famous the world over by COM
mandiDg the expedition to the Arctic
region in search of the records of the
lost Sir John Franklin party, is dead.
The lieutenant WAS found at o'clock
this morning. lying on First street, near
Morrison, by an officer. By his side was
a half empty bottle of laudanum. He
was in comatose condition, and was
Immediately removed to the st. Charles
hotel, where he was placed in a chair.
The supposition at first was that the
lieutenant was intoxicated, but as his
condition grew alarming at the end of
an hour, the patrol wagon was called
for, and the sick man was taken to the
city Jail. A telephone message brought
Or. Wheeler, the city phyeician, who
discovered that the lieutenant was suf-
fering from what appeared to be mar
! cOtic poisoning.
From the jail the lieutenant was i'm
| mediately sent to the Good Samaritan
hospital, where everything was done to
restore him, but in vain ; and he died at
Lieutenant Schwatka had been suffer-
ing from complication of troubles, and
had shown symptoms of apoplexy on
numerous occasions. His life had been
marked by such degree of conviviality
that his stomach had of recent years
given him much trouble, and for the
purpose of finding relief he used small
quantities of laudenum, usually taking
from Is to 20 droF . Last evening his
stomach trouble ci me on with so much
severity that he complained bitterly, and
sought relief. Going to drug store, he
asked for two ounces of lauda-
mum. The druggist asked him
if he had a prescription. He re-
piled that he had not, but as he
was graduate of medical college he
could soon write one. The druggist re-
piled that it was not necessary and gave
Schwatka the drug. He went away,
and after visiting political club he was
not seen after 8 o'clock until picked up
on the street.
Lieutenant Schwatka had just re-
turned from visit to Salem Oregon, his
former home.
This afternoon Or. Wheeler held an
autopsy on the remains. With the ex-
ception of slight congestion and ad-
hesion to the membrane, the brain was
found to be in healthy condition. DR..
Wheeler gave it as his opinion that
death was caused by an overdose of laud-
anum, taken to allay pain in the stom-
ach. not with suicidal intent.
The body will be kept here until word
is received from Mrs. Schwatka, who is
living at Rock Island, III.

The Jail Keeper at Fresno Breathes Eas-

Francisco - Seven Indi-
ans Cremated.

| By the Associated Press
FRESNO, Nov. 2.-George Sontag, the
train-robber, was sentenced to life i'm.
prisonment today.
The officials lost no time after Son.
tags sentence to send him through to
his future home. As soon as Judge
Holmes had pronounced the sentence,
arrangements were commenced for
starting. A hack was engaged and was
ordered to be at the Jail ir time to catch
the noon train for the north. When
Sontag was informed, after being taken
back to jail, that he was to go at once
to the penltentiary, he did not manifest
any concern, although it was evident
that he was surprised at the suddenness
OF his removal. He commenced pack
ing his valise with such things as he
wanted to take with him, and before
the time came for starting he was ready.
Another prisoner named Gaetno was
to go with him. Gaetno was to serve
five months for burglary. He and Som
tag were fastened together by handouts.
They stood thus chained together for
nearly half an hour in the corridor of
the jail, waiting Tor the hack to come
and carry them to the train. 1t came
at last. Sontag bade adieu to the prison.
ers and he and Gaetno were then con-
veyed to the depot and they were soon
speeding on their way to Folsom.
The officials at the Jail were glad to
get rid of Sontag; not that he gave any
trouble go far as his conduct was con.
cerned, for he was good prisoner, but
there was a constant dread that his
friends would come to rescue him, and
no man knew what that effort would
consist of. 1t was feared that the Jail
might be blown up, 'or the finding of
dynamite few weeks ago had strength
ened this fear. Now that he is gone
the officials feel easier.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2. - Detectives
Thacker, Hume and Hickey, reinforced
by Constable Hill of Fresno, arrived
here tonight with George Sontag, the
train robber, who will be taken to Fol-
som prison in the morning.
