JAKE HAHN CAPTURED
CAUGHT IN THE ST. AN
THONY COUNTRY.
Intelligence Conveyed to Sheriff Haines by
the Sheriff Of Fremont County. Idaho
Sheriff Haines Will Return With His
Prisoner Saturday or Sunday.

Jacob Hahn. the Washington Bar
rancher, who is wanted by the author
tiles for the alleged rape of his IA year
old daughter, Nellie, has been captured
in the St. Anthony, Idaho, country.
The intelligence was conveyed to Sher-
if Haines by telegram from Sheriff
Warner of Fremont county, Idaho,
Monday. The telegram reads as fol-
lows:
''Dubuis, Idaho, Mar. 90. Sheriff
Haines, Virginia City, Montana. I
have you man Hahn here at Dubois in
jail. Please wire me when you can
get here. Cannot hold him long.
Warner, Sheriff"
the telegram was received. Under
Sheriff Summers notified County At
torney Galloway, who Immediately be-
gan work on a formal application to
Governor Richards for extradition
papers. Under the new law this pre-
cedure involves considerable work.
With the application must be forward
ed two certified copies of the COM
plant, two warrants of arrest with
returns thereof endorsed by the sheriff
to the effect that the fugitive is out of
the state, two affidavits of flight.
These voluminOus papers were prepar-
ed by the county attorney, Monday,
and forwarded to Governor Richards
Tuesday morning. On receipt thereof
the Governor will make out some more
papers, and forward them to the
Governor of Idaho who will conclude
matters by forwarding to Sheriff Haines
at Dubois, Idaho, the paper which
authorizes him to take Hahn from
4 Idaho to Montana.
While this red tape is being wound
ana unwound, Sheriff Haines is en-
route to Dubois. He left Virginia City
n Tuesday morning, He should have
arrived at Market Lake, Idaho, St,
Anthony's nearest railroad point, late
Tuesday evening. The trip to and
from St Anthony. overland will con-
in the matter of the extradition papers,
the sheriff ought to be back in Viz
ginia with his man tomorrow or next
day.
The sheriff was of the opinion that
Hahn had fed into the ST. Anthony
country. His father lives some where
in that country. Immediately ON his
return from Washington Bar, he ad-
vised the sheriff OF Fremont county OF
Iain's flight, sent him o description Of
the fugitive, together with % request &c
hold him If he found him. Thus did
Shelis Haines press the button in
Idau5, and The vigilant sheriff of Ere
mont county did the rest.
The arrest is a surprise to all con
cerned-and probably to the fugitive
most OF all.

MONTANA ABROAD.
State Senator BufOrd Visits San Fran
cisco,

Senator S. Il. BufOrd, of Virginia
City, Montana, the famous mining
camp on Alder gulch, where the motor
ious border outlaw Slade was hanged
years ago, is at the Lick, says the San
Francisco Call. Mark Twain, Through
ing It" has told in charteristic way of
the awful career and death of Slade,
and how he first met him when coming
to Carson on the overland stage. Vir
ginia City (the one on Alder creek)
was then a seething maelstrom of life.
''In those days it had 10000 people, -
said Senator Buford yesterday "and to-
day it has no more than 1000. 1t is
what you might call q decayed camp.
Yet no district on earth, it is estimated
has produced so much gold for its
length. The length of Alder gulch is
only Is miles, vet it has produced, from
the time it was discovered until now,
500, 200, 600 in gold. This is q fabulous
product The amount cannot be de-
termined exactly, for records were not
always kept Of the shipments. But as
near as can be estimated the product
has reached that sum. This is o great
er quantity than any other region Of
the globe has produced.

Help Themselves.
Sneak thieves broke into the bar
room of the Madison house early yes
terday morning and robbed the bar
till of the contents-about $40 in silver
which had been left in the drawer for
change. The burglars effected an en-
trance by breaking in the door of the
club room, which connects with the
bar room. Then they forced the till
with hatchet or some instrument of
a similar nature. The bar was badly
damaged.
The discovery was made by John
MOnckton about o'clock yesterday
morning. He noticed the door was
open and knew that it had been locked
the evening previous. He secured re-
Inducements and a lantern and made an
investigation. A bell boy was sent to
notify Mr.. Pollard and soon the hotel
and guests were enjoying sensation,
The very atmosphere seemed pregnant
with the romance and adventure of a
a quarter of century ago.
Fred Allen stated to a MADIsON1AN
man that about $40 had been taken
from the till some time during the
evening and put in the safe
The bar closed about one o'clock
Thursday morning. The burglary was

FLOOD Ar sTAUNToN, VA.

Many Lives Reported Lost-Property
Damaged to the Extent of 100000.
Richmond. Va, Oct. THE Shenan-
doah valley near Staunton, Va, was
visited by terrific flood Wednesday.
Many lives were lost and great damage
done to property. The storm of Tues
day caused the lake to rise. All the
water courses in the valley became rag
ing torrents and swept over their banks,
carrying destruction in their path.
Houses were swept from their founda-
tons. In several cases persons were
with difficulty rescued from the roofs
and upper stories. 1t is impossible at
this hour to ascertain the extent of the
loss of life or the extent of property
damaged. The latter will exceed half
million dollars. Heroic attempts are
being made to rescue those in danger.
