ts pO6slUlc CoutdB VIII TeCSNef rom his wounds. The doctor expresses TO decided opinion, but thinks so.
 Coming down from the scene of the affair last night Sontag talked to the officers freely. He said that he and Evans had been without money for Q month, but they did not intend to hold up train. They would have left the mountains only they had no money or clothes.
 When l was shot last night" he said, "I asked Chris Evans to shoot me, but he wouldn't. We had two Winchesters, two shot guns and two six shooters. Evans has often said he was sorry he shot whittey. He though it was Will Smith. We would have shot Detectives Hume, smith or rhscs.r bu; beside these ~s were only alter tloo,Fmoney mes Ne d;c not always stay together, but never separated longer than four hours. We could not have been convicted of train robbery as we had no hand in it."
 Sontag talked calmly and coolly. He refused to state what he and Evans had in contemplation. He seemed confident that Evans would not be captured alive.
 His show of nerve during the con- versation was remarked by all pres ent.
 Fred Jackson. the man shot by Evans and Sontag, is likely to lose his leg. He was shot just above the ankle and both bones of the leg were broken.
 Sontag has been under the influence of opiates most of the afternoon, though he talked some to Mrs. Evans and her daughter. His statements are very contradictory to officers.
 sontag has numerous acquaintances here. Several called on him today, but he said little to them.

Live MastodOns.

The Stricken Indians positively. as.
sert that within the last five years they
have frequently seen animals which,
from the descriptions given, must have
been mastodons, says the Juneau'( Alaska)
Free Press. Last spring, while out
hunting. one of the Indians came across
a series of large tracks, each the size OF
the bottom of salt barrel, sunk deep in
the moss. He followed the curious trail
for some miles, finally coming ouein full
view of his game. As class these In.
dians are the bravest Of hunters, but the
PROPORTIONS of the new species of game
filled the hunter with terror, aud be took
to swift and immediate fight. He de-
scribes the creature as being as large as
a post-trader's store, with great, shin
ing, yellowish-white tusks, and mouth
large enough to swallow 8 man at Gin
gle gulp. He further says that the AMI
NAL 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 bro wsiug 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 so large that they would be q
good load for one man to carry. be-
lieve that the mule. footed hog still ex.
lists; also that live mastodons play tsg
with the aurora every night over on
Forty-Mile Greek, in Alaska.
