North America. One Of the
guides killed a grizzly bear. His
mule got away and could not oe

the saddle and holster Of pistols.
On the Cd of December we
reached point where we were
met by Apache Indians who sold
us baked roots, which were sweet
and nutritious. Our Col, bought
of them mule. Near our camp
We're the ruins of the old Spanish

Mexicans or Spaniards who had
been killed and driven out by
Indians.
On the 18th while marching
several wild cattle, mostly bulls,
ran through our ranks goring
two mules to death while some
of the men were badly wounded
by their horns. They were fired
upon and ten of them were killed.
On the 18th of December we
marched through the garrison of
Tuscon. The soldiery and most
of the inhabitants had fed, talk.

property except some two thous-
and bushels of wheat, of this the
colonel took what he needed for

struck General Kearney's trail.
He had crossed the mountains
above on pack mules and came
down the river. Pima Indians
came out by hundreds to see US.
The colonel purchased of The
chief one hundred bushels of corn
to feed the teams.
On the 10th of January 1s47
we crossed the Colorado River
and on the Goth reached San
Diego nilsson where we went into
quarters. The next day the

Mr.. Lyon was one of the pioneers, hav-

15 years of age. He settled in Placer
County, where for many years he was
editor OF the Placer Argus. He lived in
Auburn, Placer County, until May, 1875,
when he was elected Grand Secretary of
the Grand Lodge, which position he has
held continuously ever since.
Mr.. Lyon was a scholarly man. He
was recognized as being better versed in
the lore of odd Fellowship than anyone
else in the State. Upon matters ritualistic
and constitutional he was always con-
suited as an authority. He was a mem-

DEATH FROM nYpRopHoB1A.
A Seattle Merchant the Victim of
Rabies.

A Seattle Merchant the Victim of
Rabies.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 5.-James Reid
Mcdonald, merchant Of Seattle, died at
the Waldeck Hospital, 404 Eddy street,
last Thursday. and it is stated that he was
a victim of hydrophobia. Mr.. Mcdonald
arrived in this city October Goth, and ap-
piled to DR.. w. S. Taylor for treatment,
saying that he was suffering from extreme
nervousness. 81 noticed the man had a
very nervous look when he entered my
Office" said DR.. Taylor last night. ''The
following morning l found him still
more excited. He said he had passed a bad
night; that be had not been able to sleep.
He complained of his throat, and said
there was a terrible feeling there that he
couldn't get md OF.
II asked Mr.. Mcdonald if he had ever
been bitten by dog. He said yes, but
the dog wasn't mad. He explained that
when he was in Chicago at the Worlds
Fair two months ago he visited friend
and stopped down TO pet dog that was
chained and muzzled. The dog, which
had been hurt by blow on the back,
jumped at him and one tooth struck
above his eyebrow. making a slight
abrasion, that was afterWard cauterized
by physician. The dog died a few days
later, and a postmortem examination
was made, when it was discovered that
death was caused by an injury to the
kidneys. 1 passed it off by saying, 'Oh,
well. in that case you are all right
''Some of his friends think he was scared
to death by the thought that he had
hydrophobia. He must have had that
idea himself by the way he looked and
spoke. He appeared to comprehend his
situation very clearly.
''ro relieve his extreme nervousness,
/ gave him some hypodermic injections
to quiet him. 1t was of no avail-he grew
worse, and at the request of his wife l
transferred the case to another physician.
On Thursday the patient died. My dag
nosis of the case was hydrophObia. In
this Drs Robinson and Tborne agreed"
The attendants who were present in
Mr.. McDonaid's last hours report that he
became violent, and that it was necessary
to strap him to the bed. He constantly
complained of a terrible itching sensation
in his throat and begged the physicians
to perform an operation on his windpipe
to relieve him. Saliva oozed from the
corners of his mouth. and he exhausted
his energy in frantic efforts to free his
mouth by constant splitting. He appeared
to realize his frightful fate. So sensitive
was he that to even approach him with
anything TO eat or drink, or to hold a
dampened towel before him, threw him
into paroxysm OF hysteria.
The death certificate was signed by DR..
julius Rosenstein, who assigned acute
mania as the cause of death. When asked
concerning the case last night DIR. Rosen-
stein declined to talk. He said his GER
tificate was on file and was public prop
erty. Further than that he had nothing
to say. Cases of hydrophobia are so rare
on the Pacific Coast that an occurrence
of this kind attracts unusual attention.

TEN LIVES LOST.
Fatal Results Of the Capsizing of
YaNXI In I.oxvar, Ne1v Norlz Rav

Fatal Results of the Capsizin2 of q
Yawl IN Lower New York Bay.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Ten lives were
lost by the capsizing of q yawl in the
lower bay about o'clock yesterday after
noon. The drowned are John Crosby of
New York, Charles Drude of Brooklyn,
Edward Kenny of New York, Benjamin
Mcclure of New York, Thomas Hoey of
Brooklyn, Charles Smith of Brooklyn,

Wanzer of AmityVille, l.. l., and John
Bloom Of New York.
Twenty-Five laborers, employed on a
new building on Hoffman Island, en-
barked in thirty-foot yawI shortly after
noon to return to their homes. The sea
in the bay was running very high, but
the yawl successfully battled with the
waves until within 400 feet of the long
dock at South Beach, where the men
were to disembark. The sail had just
been lowered, when a sudden squall
struck the boat. By quick work the
yawl was kept from oyerturning, but the
sea washed completely over the craft sew
eral times. For a few minutes the men
were successful in keeping the yawl
ahoat, but a large wave struck the boat
and filed her completely, and she sank,
leaving twenty-five men struggling in
the water. Small boats were hurriedly
manned and sent out, but before the res
cuers could reach the spot where the men
were struggling nine had gone down for
the last time. One body was recovered.
Charles Sevenwright. while struggling,
became unconscious and was washed up
on the beach, where he soon revived.
The other twelve men were picked up
and landed at South Beach.
