AN ALASKA COURTSHIP.
How the Brides Friends
Brought a Backward
Lover to Time.

A strange and interesting story
has reached here from remote
Circle City, on the Yukon river,
showing how the miners stautly
champion the cause of the ladies
against all corners. 1t is some
times hard on SOME of the stern
er sex, but they are supposed to
be able to stand it.
Not long since Thomas Ash
by, young man prominently
connected with a leading South
ern family, and who, with his
brother, Oscar Ashby, recently
in San Francisco, had been for
several years on the Yukon, was
counting Miss Mary Andrews,
of Circle City. Miss Andrews
is young and highly regarded
OH the Yukon. She has some
Russian and Indian blood, and
is described as being brunette
with very fair complexion,
regular features. and handsome
withal.
She lived for some time in
the family ofGeorge T. Baldwin,
who had charge of the Yukon
exhibit at the Midwinter Fair
when he was at the head of the
Alaska Trading Company's store
at Circle City. Everybody a.
long that part of the river was
acquainted with her, and it is
said that at least 100 miners
stood ready to propose to her.
But as Ashby had begun the
counting ahead of them they let
him have the right of way. Af>
ter some two years of courtship,
however, Ashby's love began
singularly to wane. He had an
nounced that he was going to
marry the young lady, and as it
seemed generally known Miss
Andrew began to be wrought
up over his GOODNESS.
AS he did not come around
any more she stated her case to
the miners, who as a body con
stitute the high court which set
ties all questions on thu Yuko n
They were not a bit slow in act
ing On her case. Hastily sum-
moning the tardy lover, and
finding that he tacticy admitted
all the facts as stated by Miss
Andrews, they made up two YER
diets, either of which he could
take as his choice.
One was to Immediately pay
the girl $500 in cash, and at the
same time marry her. The
other was to pay a fine of 81 900
aud be imprisoned for one year.
There is no Jail in Circle City,
but the miners proposed to make
one for the special use aforesaid.
However, Ashby, when cons
fronted with the two verdicts
Immediately accepted the former
and married the young woman.
"Did the miners make him
put up the $500; too?" said
we'll known Yukon miner yes>
terday, after he had recounted
the story. "You bet they did.
Oh, yes; when they decided he
had to do this, he had to. There
was no way out Of it. But
suppose that though he gave it to
her she afterward slipped it back
to him. You know you can t
regulate a thing like
that. San Francisco CALL

the text until the end.

An Old Settler Gone.

Mr.. Jas. w. stephens, one of the
oldest settlers in this vicinity, died
at his late home in this city last
Tuesday evening ut I 80 o'clock.
Mr.. Stephens was born in England,
December 2i, lSlI, which makes him
in his SD year. In 1912 he emigrated
to this country, settling in California
where he engaged in mining. He re-
turned to his home over the water,
but sought the golden fields again in
lS4S to resume work in the mines, re-
naming there until he met with an
accident that disabled him for this
work, so he came to Wisconsin set
Ting on farm at Lacey, town Of
Einden,,whc he resided untifabuut
l6 years ago when he moved to this
city. The deceased had been mar
ried twice, and leaves three sons and
five daughters by his first wife. and
one son by his second wife, who sur
wives him.
The funeral will be held this
(Thursday) afternoon at o'clock

ter which the remains will be taken
to Linden and deposited beside those
of his first wife.

The remains OF Miss Jean Whittle-
sey, daughter of Captain Whit
tlesey. which arrived from Philadel-
pbia last Tuesday evening for burial,
were taken to the home of Mr.. n. II.
Snow, whore they rested until We'd
nesday afternoon. After services at
the house a large concourse Of sym
pathizlng friends followed the re-
mains to their final resting place in
Graceland cemetery.
The deceased was born in this city
80 years ago, and resided here until
about 1880, when she left with her
grandmother, Mrs. Campbell, for the
east, whore they have made their
home ever since.
Miss Whittlesey contemplated
making Mineral Point visit soon,
but was taken down with typhoid
fever, which resulted in her death.

Another Fierce Storm.

A second storm of wind, lightning
| and rain, worse than that reported
last week, visited this city and vi
cinity on the morning of Thursday,
the lTth. From about midnight un-
til 4A.M. the elements warred. Blind
ing lightning, deafening thunder
torrents of rain and "A gale of wind
We're incessant for four hours. In
that time AZ inches of water fell.
The Pecatonica valley as far south
as Gratiot was flooded, and the rail-
road track submerged for miles. The
roadbed was badly washed, and it
took all day of Thursday to get one
train over it. The Spicer bridge, on
the Platteville branch, was carried
out, and no train passed over that
line until Saturday. On Friday
morning the regular passenger train
went out as usual, and got through
almost on time, but soon after it pas
sed over the bridge three miles north
of Calamine that structure gave way
before the flood that had been pour
ing through it for "A hours previous,
and no train returned to this city un-
til o'clock Saturday morning, when
the bridge was temporarily repaired.
Passengers on the Friday evening
train Were held at Calamine from
$3.50 Friday evening until o'clock
Saturday morning, while a force
of men were at work repairing the
bridge. 1t was almost miraculous
that the Friday morning train pas
sed safely over the bridge which
went out an hour later. By inces-
SAINT work, night and day, the rail-
road company had the line in passa-
bic condition and trains running on
time by Saturday.

AGAINST the advice of many of the
best citizens, a few spiteful fellows of
Dodgeville have advertised cele-
bration at that place. July 9th. The
hundreds who went to Dodgeville
from this city and vicinity expect
ing to see celebration there on the
4th of July, 1896, ana were so badly
sold, will not be fooled again. Even
Dodgeville people will come to Min
eral Point on the 9th to participate
in the only celebration in this sec
tion of the state worthy of the day,
and to rebuke the n-the-manger
dunder heads, who, for pure spite, are
advertising another fake celebra-
tion. This move will cost the county
fair society more than it can afford
to lose.

THE right thing to do is to stop
the newspaper man on the street or
any other place you happen to meet
him, and tell him you have been on
a visit, have relatives visiting you,
that your wife entertained friends,

mean, Of course keep that to your

their business to tell the editor about
that.

CLAIMS of Brewer d Penhallegon,
that they can rebuild their store by
the first of August, are beginning to
look as though they know what they
are talking about. The basement
and first story walls are now finished, f,

and the material for the rest of the
structure is either on the ground or
on the way. They have kept stead

carried out TO the letter and on time.
We admire the way in which they
are pushing this work along.

An Injustice to Mineral Point.

Mineral Point and Dodgeville will
both celebrate the 18th of July this
year, and Mineral Point is deter
mined to celebrate on the same day
that Dodgeville does. AT first Min
eral Point decided to celebrate on
the Sd, and Dodgeville chose the 9th.
Mineral Point then changed its date
to the 9th, whereupon Dodgeville
changed the date to the Sd. Mineral
Point then changed its date back to
the Sd. Both towns will get up big
celebration and one will try and out
do the other in drawing the biggest
crowd. The hostile relations that
exist between the two towns began
when the county seat was moved
from Mineral Point to Dodgeville.
The above was taken from the
Monroe Sun-Gazette, and does an in
justice to Mineral Point, being false
and untrue from start TO finish. In
the first place Mineral Point never
decided to celebrate ON the 3D. but
commenced TO make arrangements
as far back as last March for a cele-
bration and field day on the 9th of
July, and has Herer changed from
that date, but it is only two weeks
ago since Dodgeyille called meet
ing to discuss the question Of II cele-
bration on July >. Can it be that the
article above was written at Dodge
vile and sent TO Monroe for publica-
tion TO entice the people of that city
from coming to our celebration?
