Benjamin Reese, forty-f1ve years old,
living on the Butler pike, near Etna,
was out digging his garden yesterday

body was in a cooler at the morgue
Reese was jovial, healthy man and
ate good supper prior to his death
He had been digging during the day,
and breathing odors from weeds that
were poisonous. Reese din't know
how, however, when engaged in his
garden pursuits. that he was inhaling
deadly fumes, and even when he went
into the house for supper he was in q
healthy frame of mind, and greeted his
wife cordially. He partook of a hearty
supper Of beefsteak and coffee and
then sat in reclining chair and light
ed his pipe and took the evening paper
for quiet read. 5~
While in this easy posture Reese was
suddenly taken i'll; his pipe fell from
his mouth and his paper from his hand.
His wife looked at him and called to
him, saying: Ben, what's to do?"
Ben didn't answer. His eyes were
dilated. and deathly pallor over
spread his face. His wife ran to him.

There Is no bank in Alaska. A few

merchants keep as little money as pos

deposit are Seattle and San Francisco
Upon these deposits they issue per-
sonal checks. Such checks are free of
exchange and are generally accepted

OF drafts. If bill Is to be paid In
New York by a Juneau merchant he
takes the ferry across TO Douglas is

WHALE IN HARNESS
REMARKABLE STORY WHICH
COMES FROM FAR OFF
ALASKA.
CAPTURED WHEN A BABY.
TAUGHT TO TOW A
BOAT.
COMING TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Being Driven Down the Pacific
Coast.

Col. F. w. Black, of the customs
department at Sand Point, Popoff ISL
and, situated in the Shunagin group
of islands off the Alaskan peninsula,
is in Tacoma, and is authority for a
remarkable story of a captive whale
which. if the plans have not miscar-
ried, is now being driven to San Fran
cleo, harneSsed to a boat and driven by
his captors down the coast through
s the waters of the ocean. The whale
named Bulshoy, an Aleut word for i'm
mense, was captured in the spring of
1894 when a calf some eighteen or
twenty months old. 1t was then about
fifteen or sixteen feet long, and though
so young and small was possessed of
considerable strength.
During a chase for whales by whites
and Indians it was driven into Pirate
cove, the entrance to which is not over
100 feet wide, though it is fully twenty
fathoms deep. John c. Whitley, store
J keeper at the island, Immediately
stretched across the mouth of the cove
a strong wire net. Shortly afterward
Whitley and his native servant at
tempted to feed the animal and were
successful. Whitley rugged up a walrus
bladder, to which was attached six

or seven feet of rubber tube. About
half a gallon of cows milk was put in
this improvised nursing bottle, and
Whitley and Efteha put it In a bidarka,
or canoe, and padded alongside the
pup, which by this time would allow
them to come alongside him with their
boats. After several hours of patient
coaxing the Indian succeeded in get
ting BulshOy to drink from the rubber
tube. When the bidarka turned for
the shore Bulshoy followed close be-
= hind it. More milk was obtained and
this time Bulshoy needed no coaxing
to drink it.
For the next six weeks Whitley and
the Indian fed the pup twice every
day. The pup would stick his head out
of the water, close to the landing, and
look for his nurses long before the
feeding time.
1t was not until the following spring
that the actual training of Bulshoy be-
gan to take definite form. On Sept.
90 1895, for the first time probably in
the history of the world, a 4-year-old,
25-foot vale was successfully put in
harness. When Whitley and Efteha,
after putting on his harness, started
for the shore, Bulshoy as usual started
after the bidarl1a, and in doing so made
the discovery that everything was not
as it should be, and then he reared and
plunged around at lively rate, lash
ing the quiet waters of the bay into
foam in his efforts to free himself of
the offending harness. But the harness
was well and strongly made, and there
was no shaking off to it.
Bulshoy kept up his antics for two
whole days. Next morning he refused
to come to the call of either Whitley or
the Aleut. Hunger, however, soon
brought him to his sences, and on the
morning of the third day, as the native
was out on the bay in his bidarka, Buis-
hoy came meekly alongside and seemed
to beg for his breakfast, which was
given him. From that day Bulshoy
made no trouble
During the rest Of the year the pup
was daily exercised. On May 81, OF
this year, Whitley and his Aleut took
the net away from the mouth of the
cove, and, according to the programme
laid out, struck out in deep water for
I, the island Of Onga, sixteen miles away.
The voyage was made without mishap
They afterward made a voyage from
Popof to karluk island.
