formation cheerfully. Ho says Alaska
is the only country he would rather
winter there than here, but had TO come
out last fall to attend to some business
and on account of his i'll health. The
weather is not severe, he says, because
the atmosphere is dry and you do not
feel the cold as you do in this country.
The only disagreeable season of the
year is the summer season. about three
months, when mosquitoes are very bad.
He has done we'll and will return there
in March, going via the Dyea trail. He
says some Of the Black Hills boys have
done well. ]. A. Chute, who went from
here about three years ago is now man
aging Healey's store at Dawson He
went up to the Klondike from Circle

ground. Mr.. Ash thinks Chute is " orth

up all his debts. Mrs Chute went up
there from Minneapolis last July. Mr.

Waylaid and Robbed.

Lieut.. Weisheit, y Spearfish. military
instructor at the normal school and q
Christian Science physician, was waylaid
and robbed, at Spiegel Gap, mile and
a half this side of Crook City. at about
6 o'clock last evening. Four men did
the job, three of them being masked
and armed with large six.shooters; the
fourth was small man very dark, and
was not armed. 1t was so dark that the
lieutenant could not see the mans face
and he could not identify him. There
was nothing about the clothing of the
others that he could identify them by.
The lieutenant served his enlistment
With the Eighth Cavalry at Fl. Meade
last spring He was a man who saved
his money and had large sums loaned
out among the soldiers Yesterday was
pay day at the post and he went down
there to collect. returning ~i.h aboa;
Sl25. He rode horseback and was
moving along leisurely where the road
is narrow, with dense plum thickets on
either side. As he reached this place
the four men stepped in front of him
and with revolvers leveled upon him
demanded that he dismount and hand
over his money. The lieutenant was
not armed and though he had been was
powerless He obeyed. and was re-
lieved of his sl25, watch and other ar
ticles. in fact everything he had in his
vest and coat pockets for they took the
garments, babe him goodbye and dis
appeared in the plum thicket.
The victim mounted his horse again
when the robbers had left and returned
to Whitewood as quickly as he could.
The sheriff's office was notified and a
sharp lookout is being kept by the au-
thorities. At this writing, however,
there is not the slightest clue as to the
identity of the robbers nor their where
