MORE ABOUT MISS RAY.
Understood That She Has Claims on Reeds
Property.

Oakland, Aug. Eff the heirs of the
murdered Henry and Blanche Reed of
North Adams have. as per published re-
ports. secured the services of lawyers to
liik to their interests. it may be of inter-
est 10 these people ana the public to know
that Miss Jennie Ray, who has been re-
ported as quite i'll at her sisters OF this
place, has or claims To have in her pos
session certain papers which will lay
claim to more or less of the property of
the deceased. The Rays are very careful
not to give out the amount or nature of
these papers, but. Judging from their
statements about Reeds affairs. the in
ference is drawn that their papers are in
the form of notes ana mortgages.
Miss Ray has stated. though not previ-
ously published, that while she had quite
a correspondence with Mr.. Reed, just be-
fore her visit to this State she took her
own letters written to Reed and also
those of his to her and burned Them so
that she has but the last. She further
stated that when writing TO Reed she
had 10 be very careful and send notes
and letters by special carrier, for if they
were delivered ut the house Blanche Reed
always opened them and read their con-
tents This is the way she always treat
ed her brothers mail, whether it was of
a private nature or not, Miss Ray states.
Miss Ray has also minated that Hiram
Tinny ought to be able to throw some
light upon Reeds latest transactions.
She likewise re-aftirms that the brother
and sister together could not have had
over $4,000. all told.
Mrs. William Ray. the mother, ex
presses constant fear that some detective
will visit them. and says If her daughter
can be moved they will go to some place
where no one can find them until all this
examination is over. While Miss Kay is
unquestionably i'll, 1t is possible that the
family exaggerate the case TO keep her
from North Adams, which seems to be
their desire.

VICTORIA, b. C.. Dec. 2S-The
steamer Tees, from skaguay, brought
down four KlondIkers, Richard Shaw,
OF Victoria, who left Dawson on No
vember 10, and three other Victorians
who started on their tramp October 81
The party leaving on the latter date
ran out of provisions at Fort sellilrk'
and had to beg taeir way along, getting
food at different camps or when 1t was
not TO be had, living on anything they
could shoot. Shaw came out by dos
train, leaving Dawson after the Ice
formed. He passed fifty men along the
river, bound outward. They were all
coming along with just enough food to
last them,
At Stewart river, forty-three outfits,
bound for Dawson were frozen In. Two
or three RATS OF beef, which were on
the bars Just above Dawson, were car-
rled down the river right past the town
by the floating ice on the night OF No
yember 10. Americans complain bitterly
of having to pay duty on their outfits at
Tagish Lake,
j, w. Mckay, who left Dawson on
November 10, reached skaguag before
the steamer Tees left 1t Is stated that
ne brought out $4,000 In dust. Shaw
says none OF the men on the trails will
get down until the ice goes out in the
spring.
The last to leave Dawson were
Messrs, Egan and Klestlen. They made
even better time than the McKays, COM
pletlng the journey in twenty-three
and one-half days
All agree that the most serious short
age at Dawson is in candles and oil.
This VIII reduce the output of the mines
as an absence OF artificial light will
prevent their being worked to their full
capacity.
Edward Conrad when asked II there
IL danger Of starvation at Dawson, re-
piled emphatlcally: "No, sir; there is
not surplus OF food, but there win be
no starvation"
When asked for an opinion on the
governmental expedition, he said: at Is
v humbug and | doubt II 1t can get
down TO Dawson before the Ice Breaks
The men who come out and say that
starvation turks there are men who
were there only few weeks, got dis
cOuraged. homeslcls and cry starvation
as an excuse for coming out"
Conrad's statements, so far as they
related to the imDrobabillty OF starva-
tlon, were endorsed by all the other ar
rivals seen
