MAsTODONs IN ALASKA
Animals That the Indians Claim tc
Have Found.

The Stickeen Indians positively assert
that within the last five years they have
frequently seen animals which from the
description given must be mastodons.
Last spring while out hunting, one OF
these indians came across a series of
large tracks, each the size of the bottom
OF a salt barrel, sunk deep in the moss.
lie followed the curious trail for some
miles, finally coming in full view of his
game. AS class these Indians are the
bravest of hunters, but the proportions of
this new species of game, filled the
hunter with terror, and ne took to swift
and immediate flight. He describes the
creature as being as large as a post
traders store, with great, shining, vel
lOwish- white tusks and a mouth large
enough to swallow a man at a single
gulp. He further says that the animal
was undoubtedly of the same species as
those whose bones and tusks lie all over
that section OF the country.
The fact that other hunters have told Of
seeing these monsters browsing on the
herbs up along the river, gives certain
probability to the story. over on Forty
mile creek bones OF mastodons are quite
plentiful. One ivory tusk nine feet long
projects from one of the sand dunes on
that creek, and single teeth have been
found that were SO large that they would
be good load for one man to carry.

DENVER (Col.), Jan. Cone Of the
largest fires which has ever occurred in
this city started at 1915 o'clock last night,
and at l o'clock this friday morning
was just under control. The fire started
IN the oil-roOm of the F. f. Hallack Paint
and Oil and Glass Company, in the Hal
lack building, and soon spread to adjoin-
ing business houses. The total loss is
estimated at $3.50, 900, divided as follows {:
Eaton, Ritchell IL Co., hardware, 81, 600;
Hallack Paint, Oil and Glass Company,
$4,000; Denver Stamping Company,
$4,000; Western Laundry Company,
$4,000; E. a. IL Charles Halleck, on
buildings, $4,000; National Cracker
Company, nominal. The insurance is
about half of the above. Many narrow
escapes occurred among the fremen,
caused by falling walls, which were
blown out by the explosion of oil.
FIRE IN A PRINTING OFFICE.
OMAHA (Neb.), Jan. 5.-A fire tonight
in the compOsing-room on the second
floor of the Omaha Printing Company's
building communicated to the bindery on
the third floor and the storage-rooms on

ance.
BIG FIRE AT PITTSBURG.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 5.--A fire broke out
tonight in large brick building occu-
pied by the Collins Cigar Company, and
before the flames could be subdued the
structure was entirely destroyed, together
with three five-story buildings and resi-
dence on Pennsylvania avenue. The
buildings destroyed were occupied by
p. Duff & Son, commission merchants;
Cavitt & Pollock, lamps and fancy i'm
ported goods; Booth E Finn, contractors,
and numerous offices.
The losses at midnight were estimated
at from quarter to half million dol
lars. Keech's immense installment
house and the Westinghouse machine
shops were on fire several times, but the
good work of the fire department saved
them.
At 11:30 o'clock the walls of the Duff
building fell in with a crash, burying the
old Werner mansion adjoining. Fortu-
nately the family had deserted the house
before the walls came down, and as far
as known no one was killed, but many
valuable paintings and works of art were
destroyed.

Boston, Jan 5.-"In the name Of God

Elizabeth Maybrick, now dying in CON
Ylct prison at Working"
So writes Miss Abigail Dodge, author
ess, known to the literary world as Gail
Hamilton, to the Rt. Hon. William f..
Gladstone, Prime Minister of Great
Britain. Miss Dodge declares that there
Is no evidence of the imprisoned woman's
guilt and shames the great Governme-
for binding the feeble hands of woman
in living tomb, and demanding more
evidence of her innocence.
After reproaching the British Govern
ment, and the Home Office in particular,
for its barbarous action, Miss Dodge de-
clares they are guilty of deliberate muir
der. Closing, she says: "But if there be
God who marks and notes the ways of
this world, who hears the voice of inno-
cent blood crying from the ground, it is
better to be young wife and mother per-
ishing in Working Prison, than the
Prime Minister of Government who
works her torture and her slaughter"

HAMBURG, Jan. 5.-Upon the arrival

had with several persons aboard her in
regard to her attempt to tow the disabled
Cunard liner Umbria and to the report
that the towing hawser was cut on board
the Bohemia. Everybody on board the
steamer emphatically denied that the
hawser was cut. The break was close
in-board, but considerable distance
from the Bohemia. Many felt the hawser
trailing astern when the break occurred,
and this fact efectually disproves the
statement that the hawser was cut on
