"GRUBSTAKE" BRINGS S2,OOO.oOO.
j. l.. Malcolm, of Denver, Enriched
by Small Investment.


CHICAGO, Sept. 2O.-A special to the
Times Herald says: J. L. Malcolm, an
attorney of this city, has heard from
a "grubstake" at Dawson City that
has yielded him $2,000,000.
He staked Michael Gideon three
years ago to prospect in the vicinity
of Cooks inlet, where it was then re-
ported there was a splendid oppor-
tunity for miners. He did not hear
from Gideon for a year, and then came
a story of distress and hard luck.
Gideon had gone to Alaska and re-
turned with the statement that it was
no place for poor man. He wrote
from Salt Lake that he was BROKE"
and inquired if Mr.. Malcolm would not
advance him another $500 for a trip
to Bolivia. Mr. Malcolm was so dis
guested with what he deemed the
nerve of the borrower that he did not
answer the request.
This was the last heard of Gideon
until the mail arrived yesterday with
a letter address to Mr.. Malcolm stat
ing that there was $2,000,000 awaiting
him in mines and gold dust at Daw-
SON. Gideon had cleared up 1000, 900
and declared that he was going to
abide by the terms of the original con-
tract.
AS soon as system of exchange
was established he said he would re-
nit 100000 as a proof Of good faith

ing the Eastern Question.
LONDON, Sept. 21.-The Rome cor
respondent of the Daily, News says:
1T is learned from high source that
Germany's want of alarm over the
Franco-Russian alliance is thought to
be due to an existing understanding
between Russia, Germany, France and
Austria about the Levant, which has
been made with view to future events
leading up to changes in the Levant
and which deals with their several
portions in the eventual division. Ger
many finds her satisfaction in security
from attack. She will thus be at
leisure to develop her internal re-
sources, postponing dispute. Efforts
are making to induce Italy to join the
league which, it is asserted does not
look with displeasure upon the pro-
longation of the present situation, that
leaves an opening for startling COM
plications if considered advantageous
to the four powers. So the settlement
of the Cretan question will not be so
quick and simple as predicted. 1t is
asserted that Russia will propose that
the governor of Crete be Turk.

laid upon the table for one week.
After a discussion as to how to raise
funds for the expenses of the COM
mission and a proposition of the part
of Commissioner Haynes that the
members contribute until the city
could reimburse them and another on
the part of Commissioner Pillsbury to
advance $100, it was finally decided to
borrow $500 on the note of the commits
sion Commissioner Hawley, in max
ing the report of the draughting COM
mittee, referred to the matter of the
legality Of special election and the
authority of the council to call one.
1t was supposed that this matter HAD
been settled by the committee of law
yers, but as none of that committee
apparently had looked into the matter
very thoroughly, it was decided to re-

TRIO OF TRAIN ROBBERS
Hold Up a Stock Train-One of Them
Captured.


Three masked men boarded stock train No.
SO on the Great Northern road just before
it reached Smith Lake Mimi, en- route from
Litchfeld to Minneapolis, at o'clock yester-
day morning. With drawn revolyers they went
through the stock car and held up six stock
owners on board.
They had forced each passenger to give up
his money, or as much as he was willing to
part with, and were about to leave the train
when Conductor Connor and Brakeman Will
kins rallied and rushed to the defense of the
stock men. A lively encounter ensued and
two of the robbers jumped from the train.
John Fisher the third man, was captured and
was brought to Minneapolis, being turned over
to the North side station. Sheriff Neugert, OF
Wright county, where the robbery occurred,
has been notified of Fishers arrest and he
will probably be taken back.
Among the owners held up were George
Utman of Litchfied, who Is stopping at
the Riverside hotel Nicollet island, and
Thomas Cullen, of Menominee, Wis. The
money secured from them amounted to $3,
and Mr.. Cullen's watch was also taken.
They do not think that the highwaymen
got much money from the other stock men.
The robbers wore hankerchiefs over the low
er part of their faces, thus concealing their
Identity. They are thought to have been
tramps The passengers were all unarmed
and made no attempt at resistance. The rob-
bers entered the car from both doors and
commanded them to throw up their hands,
a command that was instantly complied with.
Fisher and Cullen speak highly of the con-
ductor and brakeman for the bold stand which
they took at the risk of being shot.

NEW LIGHT CAST ON THE LYNCH
ING OF ARROYO IN
MEXICO. Iti,
HIGH OFFICIALS ARRESTED.
LYNCH LAW TO BE REBUKED, NO
MATTER WHO is
GUILTY.
FIRST PRISONERS ALL RELEASED.
Government Acting With the Utmost
Firmness and Energy in Push
ing the Investigation.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 20.-Fublic
interest in the alleged lynching of Ar
royo continues to increase, stimulated
by the ru1nors and disclosures in the
press, for as l;gnt begins to tie thrown
on the matter. it is seen thar there
is strong probability that Arroyo was
not killed by mob If people, tu. by
some member or members of the Do
lice itself. The :y9vernncn, is acting
with utmost frulness ana energy in
pushing the Investigation, and has
caused the arrest of Inspector Villa
Vincencao, of the Second distric:, sus.
pected of being Implicated in The llot
which 1t is justly felt mas brought dis
grace upon the police corps as a body
Villa -Vincencao is now in Belem prison
in solitary confinement, and all sur
posed lynchers, mostly street peddlers,
loafers, ETC., have been released, as
there IS no longer the slightest ground
to hold them.
The Impartial says the arrest of per-
sons presumed to be responsible for the
crime, which, it declares was purely
and simply murder, strengthens it and
the public in the belief that the police
Of the city are themselves RESPONSE
BILE for the crime. 1t adds, if it comes
to be proven, as is to be feared it will.
that the criminals have been instigated
by agents of police, upon them and not
on the entire body of the police will
the popular anathema fall. Gendarmes
who were guarding Arroyo on the night
are reported to have told persons that
ocxI xr-I,,
building were men whom they recog-
nized
The Mexican Herald says the govern
ment is determined to punish the
guilty persons, whoever they may be.
Nothing has occurred for many years
which has so angered the people as
this incident. No one sympathizes
with Arroyo, but it was felt that the
report that the police had done the
lynching was placing a stigma upon
the nation at large, and it is just to
say that popular indignation is no
greater than that of the administra-
tion, which has been betrayed by GER
tain officials of the people who had
been ordered to guard with the utmost
vigilance the would-be assassin.
There is no truth in the report that
the minister or the governor of the
federal district have resigned. They
are in no way responsible fer the act
of the minor officials who violated the
honorable traditions of the police force
These men are abve suspicion and
have been unremitting in their endeav-
or to punish the true authors of the
murder.
The body of Arroyo has been buried,
after being delivered to his family.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Evelyn B. Baldwin
the meteorologist of the Peary expedition of
sociated Press regarding the latest pigeon
dispatch from Andree. Mr.. Baldwin said :
This message indicates that Andree has safe
ly crossed the $50 miles or so of open water
which extends from the north coast of SpitZ-
bergen to the pack ice. 1t is evident that
the loss of the three guide ropes, which oc-
CURED on the day Andree started, had not
prevented him from guiding the balloon. If
the extreme cold caused any perceptible
changes in the gases such action would have
taken place before Andree wrote this last
message. And if the cold had done the work
so much feared Andree would not have said
All WE'LL
'It is significant to note that Andree was
going eastward, the direction he intended to
take This is straw which helps to verify
his reported safe temperance in Arctic Rus
sia. Doubtful scientists declared, before
Andree left, that he would be unable to de-
termipe his exact location from the balloon.
The tenth of degrees given in his message
prove that Andree not only able to ascer-
tain his whereabouts, but did so with remark
able accuracy. The first three days were
looked upon as being the most perilous and
important of the entire journey. Andree's
ability to successfully Withstand the initial
difficulties augurs better than the ordinary
lay mind would imagine for the elimination
of his daring project.

FELL UNDER THE LOAD.
EIeven-Year-OId Teamster Meets n
Horrible Death.

Conrad Bernard an 11-yearold boy, living
with his widowed mother at 222 University
avenue northeast met an instant death yes
terday afternoon at the west end of the Twen,
tieth avenue bridge. His head was crushed
by being run over by the wheels of wood
wagon of which the boy was in charge.
The lad drove his mothers team and was
employed by George ". Higgins in hauling ling
wood. At the time Of the accident he was
taking load from an East side mill; At the
west end of the Twentieth avenue bridge there
is a decline. When driving down this the
weight of the load forced the horses into a
trot The boy did not have sufficient strength
to hold them back and when the wheels struck
a rut the youthful driver was thrown off His
head fell directly in front of the wheels and
was crushed in frightful manner by them:
The boys jaw was broken and his head and
neck bruised Death must have been in
staneous.
Deputy Coroner H. S. Nelson, who viewed
the rema rs, had them removed to the m rgue,
but no investigation will be made.
The case is a most sad one. The boy s
father died in July and it was to help sup
port the family that young Conrad was sent sci

little fellow still wore shore pants and his
twice bereaved mother is almost heartbroken

Bids on the contract for the handling of city

which he stated that he was willing to see to
the disposal or reduction of the garbage also:
