during February and part of March. When
the storm which showed them up came
they exhausted their stock of provisions
and had killed eleven elk. They lost their
game, and were three days without food
when they killed an eagle. Later they
found an elk powerless in the deep snow.
They lived on elk and eagle for over
month. The snow was eight to fifteen feet
deep, and they could not make any
progress through it. Eventually they
reached deserted camp and found an ak.

and completely.
Miss Briggs was interviewed by CALL
reporter yesterday afternoon and said that
the engagement which had been made be-
tween herself and Miller two years ago
was broken last May by her.
She had been forced to do this on ac-
count of the reputation the young man
was then gaining from his associations
with others of the fair sex.
The rings she refused to return because
be had given aud not loaned them to her,
and in view of his conduct she felt he
was not in a position to demand their re-
turn.
Miss Briggs fam lily lives at 1921 Elev-
enth avenue East Oakland, in modest
white cottage, near the corner OF Twenty
fourth street.
When a CALL reporter visited the house
Yesterday the father alone was at home.
He said the young ladies were in San
Francisco and that they had been visiting
of late al the residence of Mr.. Moss on the
San LeandrO road.
He spoke with much frankness of the
broken engagement, but was completely

A second visit TO the Briggs residence

was kept from the reach of all reporters

MALIETOA'S REVENGE.
Rebel Natives of Samoa Left Without
Means of Support.

Z. 4. Snmmerhayes, young business
man who has been in Samoa for three
years, returned to this city yesterday. He
left Apia on August 16. when everything
was quiet in the little island kingdom.
The worst feature of the war;" said he
last evening, was the savage retaliation
OF King Malietoa on the rebels. After the
war was over and peace was restored
Malletoa'S army cut down the breadfrut

on. Coeoanuts and breaGfruit formed
