charged, have Deen mauled TO death
by attendants. Her husband was a
robust man with no sign Of consumption.
She says she saw him Saturday afternoon and
he was bruised and cut. An attendant would
not let ner see his face, In his mutterings
he told her he had been attacked ana beaten.

the steamers we're unable to get above Fort
Yukon bar and were unloading goods there.
That meant, in the opinion Of the lieuten-
ant, very serious condition Of affairs up at
Dawson, in fact nothing less than starya-
tion. Already boats were going down the
river with parties OF three or four persons
looking for provisions and large numbers
were expected down as soon as the river
closed. 1t is doubtful II there was food
enough on the river for all, even II prop

teams when the freeze comes, but that
