chases ever seen in this county. DR..
r. G. Dupuy of Jamestown arrived at

These, with two dogs from Dawson,
made a pack of seven hounds. All
the available. saddle horses and teams
were engaged for the occasion, and
at 8 o'clock the party started. Two
wolves were started and the chase
was exciting in the extreme. In one
case the wolf was three-quarters Of a

chase was overtaken and killed by
the dogs. The entire community is
enthusiastic over the chase, and an

GALE ON THE PACIFIC
SHIPS ARE WRECKED AND LIVES
ARE LOST.

At Least Three schoonerS Arc
known to Have Been Lost, and
\ Vessel With II Crew Of Eighteen
Men Has No Doubt Gone to the
Bottom.
San Francisco, Oct. 1S-The gale
which has prevailed along the North
Pacific coast since Saturday last has
undoubtedly caused widespread dis
}aster to shipping interests. At least
three SchOOners are known to be
wrecked. There are grave reasons
for believing that the American ship
Ivanhoe has been lost with all on
board. and there is little doubt that
the Southern Pacific raft Of 10000
spars and piles, valued at $50, 1000, has
been broken by the elements. The
news of the next few days, it is
thought, will show still greater loss.
From Tacoma, the schooner Nora
Harkins Is reported wrecked at the
| entrance to Gray's Harbor. One sea-
man was drowned. Reports were also
received here to-day of the wreck Of
the schooner Portia at Stewards Point.
| Her bottom was knocked out on the
rocks and her crew narrowly escaped
with their lives. 1t is also reported
that the schooner Elfreta was driven
on the rocks near Cambria, Oh the San
Luis Obispo county coast. A few min
utes after the crew left her she broke
in two and went down.
The American ship 1vanhoe, coal
laden from Seattle, for this port, which
has now been out twenty one days, is
almost certainly lost. Capt. G. B
Griffin commanded her and she car
ried crew of eighteen men. Col
Fred Grant, one of the proprietors OF
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and ex
minister to Bolivia, was a passenger
on the Ivanhoe, having embarked or
her to enjoy the novelty Of ses
voyage. A mast and yards painted
yellow, and believed by seamen to be
part of the riggings of the Ivanhoe
have been sighted off the Oregon coast
A floating deck house painted as wa:
the Ivanhoe's was also seen in thu
locality

lie livctl by himself six miles from any
neighbOr, and was found dead in his
lonely raLch house by boy. The ap-
pearance of the house showed no signs OF
struggle. Two bullets had entered the
body Of tho murdered man, one In his
head and the other in the right side. His
shirt at the neck had been torn open, and
his coat and pants pockets rifled of their
contents. On small table in the room
was found evidence of q meal having
been eaten by two persons.
The party or parties who committed
the awful deed after the murder took tho
stove wood out of the wood box, piled Il
on the floor near the dedd man and,
throwing some rags upon 1t, poured kero-
sene oil over 1t and the body and set 1t
on fire, no doubt intending to burn up oil
evidence of the crime. The fire burned
the wood and rags and burned through
the floor without burning the body and
then went out. Meyers was known to
have secreted his money somewhere about
his home, as he was an eccentric person
and had often spoken of being unwilling
TO trust the banks with his money. 1t
was probably this fact that led to the
death of the old man, and it may be that
the greater portion of his money is still
buried In the vicinity of his house. The
body was taken to Sturgis aud buried
near the city. In all probability the per-
petrator of the deed will escape, us ap-
parently no clue was left whereby tho
crime can be ferretcd ont.
