VANCOUVER. B. g.. Aug. 21.-The Union
Steamship Company's steamer Coquitlam. ar
rived from Dyea this morning. Her captain
says that no one was anxious to come back with
him. There were 5000 persons at Skagway
and only 600 at Dyea, which is being deserted
for the former place.
Tho day the steamer arrived at Dyea was an
eventful one. The body of q white man was
hanging from q tree. He had been caught red
handed going through the baggage of some new
arrivals. No one knew his name, and his pedi-
gree was not inquired into. He was caught
stealing. Tho evidence was clear to the jury.
and he was hanged as a terrible warning. The
man In said to have been Q San Francisco
gambler.
It was said that those at Dyea and Skagway
would get no further than the lakes this year.

"PuLLED" THE WRONG CLOCK.
Rsynsids Locked IN for Too Enthusiastically
Serving ITS Employer.

Patrick Reynolds of $50 West Thirty-ninth
street, who is known as a "puller" for an
installment concern, started out last night
to look for a negro minister who had paid
only q few installments on n fancy clock.
Reynolds's job was to pull" the clock
out Of the ministers house and return it
to the sellers. The installment puller seldom
asks questions. Reynolds was no exception to
the rule. He had been told that the minister
lived at 3O4 West Fortieth street. He went
there. and found a ground floor door OPEN.
He walked into a room where he saw a fancy
clock like the one ho was looking for. He
seized the clock. AS he was going out the occu-
pant OF the rooms. Mrs. Maggie Musten, came
from an adjoiniuR room.

IAN clocks look alike to me, said Reynolds,
laughing. as he got out on the street.
He was caught by Detective Pepperted. who
heard tho woman's screams. Mrs. Musten ex.
planned that she had bought the clock and had
paid for 1t. She did not know anything about
The clock that Reynolds was looking for. He
admitted that he had made a mistake. but he
was taken to the West Forty-seventh street pc.

hood OF Tampa. Fla. and has again notified tho
Collector OF Customs at that port to exercise
vigilance that the neutrality and the navigation

Customs. No arms or ammunition were found,
however. and she carried only her usual crew Of
nine men. At the mouth of the St, Johns
River a further examination was made by the
Runboat Wilmington. which also accompanied
the Dauntless as far as Savannah. She left Sh-
yannah this morning towing a barge.

It's herd Of bison presented by the late Austin
