A Few tales OF home, OF our feeling TO
England, OF our English families here, would
make Victoria say the word to Salisbury
which would cause him to think or arbitra-
ton very lenicntly.
Just in this way is Virginia B0nyngc, Wis.,
countess Decrhurst, Influential with the
Princess Christian. who is the queen private
thinker. The viscountess is pettcd by the
Princess Christian as one OF her own da ugh
tiers. The viscountess has made the princess
many beautiful presents, and has informcd
her OF many things regarding this country
which she did not know. Both the queen
and the princess have Il way OF gathering
their information about a foreign power
from private persons, and i'll this way they
keep themselves in the wonderfully sympa-
thetic touch which Victoria has alwa VS. maj in
taincd.
To Lady Mary Pagct war would mean
something very serious. Lady Pagct Is
not rich woman, though her position
In London Is second 10 none. Her hus-
band is lieutenant colonel OF the Scots
Guards, and is warrior who
in the expedition To the Nile.
None has a more gallant record than Col
Pagct. But he is not a rich man, and
would doubtless have come TO America,
like his brother, Almeric Hugh Paget, Miss
Whitncy's husband, had he not been pla s'ed
in the army.
To Lady Mary Pagct war would mean
the sending OF her husband TO fight her
own kin across the water and the en-
tire wiping' out OF her fortune. The
Stevens money is invested in real estate
that would collapse, or suffer great lapses,
in case OF bombardment: and, besides. TINS
American woman would have the horror OF
knowing that her husband was using all his
tremendous skill TO fight her relatives here
Her Influence would be almost hysteric to
prevent a conflict, and no one knowing

Casper Derrick: The awful news
came to town of the beating up Of
Mrs. Hannah Rhoades by one Kelly,
who was in her employ on her ranch

up she was compelled in that condi-

children and flee to a neighbours for
safety. Deputy Hennelly went out
this morning and arrested and
brought in Kelley, and DR.. Dean

Victims OF the Blizzard.

Victims Of the Blizzard.
Black Hills Press: Miss Katie,
daughter of Sheriff Jesse Brown,
was informed Sunday that her
father had been frozen to death at a
school house out in the country,
during the late blizzard. The young
lady was almost frantic over the in
telligence and a Press reporter
hurried out to investigate the
rumor. He found Jesse who had
just returned from his trip, and re-
lated his experience, which was a
rather tough one.
He in company with A. p. Long,
the cattle detective, started out
Thanksgiving to attend to some
business, and, although the weather
was frightfully bitter, the Blizzard
then being at it's worst stage, they
figured on being able to reach Fow-
ler's ranch about eighteen miles
from here on Alkali, and remaining
over night. After starting on their
trip they realized that it was worse
than they had bargained for and be
fore they had covered six miles they
were chilled through and hardly
able to control their horses. They
continued, however, and endeav-
ored to reach the ranch of Rock
Keene, which they knew was close
by. The blizzard, however, became
SO fierce that although in Keene's
field they could not reach the house,
and concluded to return to the Tad
diken school house. The horses re-
fused to face the storm after reach
ing a short distance from the school
house, and they were turned loose,
Both men making their way on foot
to where the school house was sit
uated, which, after cropping around
for a considerable time, they man
aged by accident to stumble upon.
both the men were badly frozen,
their faces being in such condition
that they were unable to speak,
Sheriff Browns lips being frozen
and swollen, and nose, cheeks and
eyes presented an awful appearance.
Mr.. Long vas in a similar condition.
They remained in the school house
all night and the next day made
their way to one of the ranches
close by where they breakfasted and
we're kindly cared for by the folks
Of the house. They returned to
Sturgis the following day and evil
dences Of their fearful trip are to be
found in their swollen and disfigured
countenances.
Sheriff Brown says it was the
worst experience he has ever gone
through with during his long resi-
dence in the west, and hopes he will
never have to go through anything
like it again. Had not both men
been SO we'll acquainted with the
country and old timers, the result
would most assuredly have had a
most disastrous and serious termi-
nation.

TO CARE FOR THE CHILD,
Little Theodore Marceau Will Be
in Miss Benefits Gus
tody.
Both Parents May Visit the Boy When.
ever They Please and Marceau
Will Pay Expenses.

For the present, at least, the custody of
Theodore Marceau Jr. has been decided
on. He will remain in the care of Miss
Emma Bennett a trained nurse at the
Children's Hospital, he to stay at the hos
p1tal or anywhere within certain limits
she may see fit to take him. his parents
having at all times the right to visit him.
This method of disposing of what prom
lsed to be vexiug question was the re-
suit of stipulation entered into be-
fore court opened yesterday morning.
Mrs. Marceau and her attorneys, J. C..
Campbell, of Reddy, Campbell & Metson,
Garret McEnerney and F. H. Sh ort, and
Colonel Marceau with his attorneys, Delmas
d Shortridge and ex-Judge Van K. Pater-
son, were present, awaiting the comi ng of
Judge Slack, but efore he as cended the
bench the attorneys all withdrew into the
Judges cham bers, and the spectators
waited another fifteen minutes.
AT the end of that time Judge Slack
came, opened court and announced that in
the case of Marceau VS.. Marceau the Gus
tody of the child would be awarded in pur-
suance OF stipulation Just entered into by
the attorneys IN the case and which had
been dictated to the stenographer. The
clerk was ordered to enter the order ac-
cordingly and the application for counsel
fees was then ordered put over for two
weeks.
The main case is still in the throes of a
compromise. The property question and
the charges against Mrs. Marceau are mat
ters upon which both parties can agree
amicably, but upon the custody of the
child there was always trouble.

Every Bidder Has His Own
Theory as to the Method
to Be Used.
THE CONTRACT NOT LET YET.
Shipping Men Are Creating a Fund for
the Relatives of the Drowned
Men.

The fate of the British ship Blairmore is
still unsolved. Just who will attempt to
raise her has not been decided upon and
the five wreckers that put in bids are still
on the tenter hooks. All the parties con-
cerned met in the office of Cation, Bell &
Co. yesterday afternoon and offers rang
ing from $4,000 to $3O,0 were opened.
Who was the highest and who the lowest
Lloyd's agents refused to give out, but the
bidders were: A. Robertson, Bassett &
Bishop, Alex Campbell Bros, Healy, lib
bits d Co., The California Wrecking Com
pany and T. P. H. Whitelaw.
All the contractors were called in one
after another and questioned as to their
methods. Robertson will use pontoons if
he gets the job Whitelaw would send
down divers and remove the rigging and
masts. After that the hull would be towed
into low water and put on an even keel.
The work OF pumping her out would then
be comparatively easy. Healy, Tibbitts 81
20. would drive clusters OF piles around
| the ship and by placing cables under the
hull would raise it bodily. In order to be
sure OF their premises the firm had pile
driver out in Mission Bay yesterday test
ing the resisting power of the mud. The
California Wreck1ng Company is backed
| by the Risdon Iron Works and the chances
are that if they secure the contract the
work of raising will be done by tugs.
Nearly all the contractors stipulate that
| they will raise and dock the ship within
sixty days, but if they succeed inside of
three months many an old sea captain will
be agreeably surprised. Strange to say,
the bid of the Union Iron Works for the
raising of the Earl of Dalhousle was
$4,000, but then the company lost over
SIS 900 on the transaction.

Captain Spille of the German Bark
Affair Has Made an Innovation
on Discharging.

The German four-masted bark Affair is
one of the handsomest and best kept yes
sells in port. Captain d. J. SpilIe has been
on ner since her maiden voyage and his
boast is that better-found ship does not
sail the seas; the sailors are treated to
the same food that is served in the cabin
and there was never growl until the
master insisted upon the men helping in
the work OF discharging. They did not
mind the work, but they did object to be-
ing guyed by the longshoremen, who
thought it good joke to see sailors doing
work that the stevedore was paid for do
ing. Captain Spille made his point, how
ever. He kept his men at work and the
stevedores bill was just that much less.
Hitherto the object of every ship captain
has been TO get his men to desert as soon
as the sails were furled. In future they

TOP AND BOTTOM DICE,
A Southern Pacific Employe
Easily Swindled Out of
His Money.
Instead of Being Part Owner of a
Store in Alaska He Is Mourn
ing the Loss of 5000.

An employe of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company living in Oakland, in
stead of finding himself part owner of a
store in Alaska is mourning the loss
of 5000.
Last week his eye caught an advertise
ment in the Examiner, Wanted, part
ner TO go to Alaska" He wrote to the
number given, and received reply to
meet the advertiser at the Examiner bulle-
tin board at a certain hour last Saturday.
He was there at the appointed hour and
a welldressed young man accosted him,
introducing himself as the advertiser.
While they were talking another man
joined them, and the advertiser intro
duced him as his friend Mr.. Howard
The advertiser explained that he was
going to Alaska TO open a general store,
and he wanted partner who would have
to deposlte 5000 as his share of the stock to
be purchased. The Southern Pacific en-
ploye was willing, and it was arranged
that he should bring the $500 with him on
Monday.
Monday morning the three again met
and they adjourned to Matt kerr's saloon
OH Leidesdorff and Halleck streets They
had few drinks, and the advertiser sug-
gested dice game. Howard took the
Southern Pacific man aside and explained
to him how easy 1t was to beat the game.
All he had to do was to bet on 81 both Iop
and bottom.
The bait took, and the Southern Pacific
man put up his $500, which Howard took
possession of as stakeholder. The dice
was thrown and the Southern Pacific man
bet on 81. He was one too short, as 90 was
turned up, the dice having been fixed for
the occasion. Howard sneaked out of the
saloon with the 5000, but the Southern
Pacific man held on TO the other and
begged Kerr to send for policeman.
Kerr refused, and after an hours detention
the swindler succeeded in breaking away
from the clutches of his victim.
The police were notified yesterday morn
ing and Detective Anthony was detailed
on the case. After m making an investiga-
ton complaint was filed against Kerr
with the clerk of the Police Commission
ers, and he will be summoned to appear
before the board tonight to show cause
why his license should not be revoked, the
police alleging that his saloon is resort
for sharks" and gamblers.
