While Mr.. Pitt thought 1T might
have been possible for Herman to have
held the gun hehind him and shoot
himself, he still thought there were
many mysterious things-the scatter
ing of the papers, tipping over OF a
crock Of pickles in the other room, as
though someone had left in hurry.
The doctors, who conducted the
autopsy, agree that the shooting was
not case of suicide. They incline to
the opinion, however, that the old man
was not struck blow with the heavy
iron tool which was found near his
body They think the concussion fol-
lowing the explosion which shattered
the skull, the weapon being held very
close TO his head.
The officers have been working faith
fully but as yet have secured no tangl-

The village of Lowell is arranging
for large farmers harvest picnic
there next Tuesday. Oliver l. Wat
kins of Grattan is to be president OF
the day and on the committees we
notice the names of a number OF men
from Grattan and OtiscO who are often
seen in Belding. 1t is perfectly legit-
innate on the part of Lowell citizens to
reach out as far as possible in their
efforts to establish friendly and trade
relations, but the BANNER would eau,
tion the business men of our city that
such efforts call for extra watchfulness
on their part and extra endeavors
Belding has no country trade to lose
but to the contrary should, just as our
neighborlng village Of Lowell is doing
seek to increase and build it up.

very impressive and the silent tear

of the large number in attendance
freely attested the love and respect
they bore the deceased. The singing
was by the Greenville choir under

r. j. Allen Tells of His Success I'm the
Klondike--The Mining Laws.

T. ]. Allen, who came down on the
Cleveland. is typical Yukoner. He is rich
In gold, but his good fortune comes at that
time In life when a man seeks for chance
TO lay up in the stream of life with
anchors securely set In some quiet nook.
where he can look contentediy on the rush
ing tide as il passes his haven. There are
enough gray strands in Mr.. Aliens hair
and mhstache to bear testimony 10 the
years ne has spent in the search for gold,
and in his face are written signs Of the
hardshlps and privations he has endured.
Mr.. Allen is a native of Rhode Island.
but came West in 1851. He has been a
prospector and miner for nearly thirty
years. He went TO Alaska in 1891. and
after prospecting for mineral for year
without success, finally located a claim on
Miller river In 1s92. The claim Is $50 feet
long and the pay streak ran from thirty
10 seventy feet wide throughout. IL was
on Miller river that the miners first began
thawing out the pay ground in the winter
and sluic!ng out the gold in the spring.
Mr.. Allen has seen the time in the Yukon
when beans and bacon. 10 say nothing Of
the ordinary culinary comforts. were as
dear as gold itself. He spent one winter
in the country on what he considered a
half supply Of food. He has been peril
ously near the line between hunger and
plenty. but says that nothing he has ever

means.
Mr.. Allen was asked how the Canadian
mining regulations. particularly the roy
atty OF - per cent. with every alternate
claim 70 be- taken by the Canadian govern
ment. would be received by the Klondlke
miners. He said
The miners in the Yukon have great re-

DYEA Aug. 2i.-Our party will start

transportation facilities are excellent.
The Indians are very unreliable. Two
days ago / made a contract for packing
our outfit from here 10 Lake Linderman
for 80 cents a pound. and the next morn
ing when they showed up they wouldn't
move a pound for less than IS cents.
An average of ten horses are being lost
on the summit every day. People are
very anxious to reach the lake before
IL freezes. and overload their horses.
