drunk the liquor. During the rob-

Erieksons and lost his cap and was

Strangeland at first refused to say
anything when questioned regarding
his connection with the robbery, but
finally talked freely.
A. H. Strangeland and his wife.
Carrie, also told OF the robbery. how
it was planned at their house, giving
an account of the robbers returning
in the night time, showing themselves,
if anything, accessories to the crime.
Ole Nelson, who is also in jail, denies
having had anything to do with the
robbery. 1t Is said that the watch in

Leary farm in the southwestern part
of the county. Ole Nelson is known
in that section Andrew Rolston is
held in custody OF the sheriff en- the
charge Of being implicated in the rob-
berry but denies having had anything

1t seems that Andrew Rolston was
present at the Stangeland house the
afternoon of the evening OF the rob-
berry, but did not 90 out with the rob-

Sairom Stangeland. who confesses
that he was one of the three robbers.

former confession was false and that
neither he nor the Smith boys had
anything to do with the Erickson rob-
berry. He has been arrested for per-
jury and in default OF bail he is now

dyke district in Alaska.
The rush to the new gold field where
fortunes are being dug out every dav
began yesterday The stories OF the
returned miners, loaded with gold and
tales of wealth still hidden in the
earth, have started fever among the
residents of the Pacific states. The
first boat to leave for Alaska was
crowded. The fever has spread so
much that San Francisco capitalists
are planning to build railroad from
the mouth Of the Yukon river to the
heart of the gold district along the
Klondyke river.
The steamer Portland arrived from
Alaska Saturday bearing gold and
more tales of the richness of the new
find under the polar star Stories of
the hard winter and rough conditions
of existence in the Klondyke district
could not deter many of those who
had the fever from taking the first
trip to the new Eldorado. And Seattle
was crowded today with people who
had gone mad for wealth-those who
had resolved to take passage in the
steamer Alki and those who could not
afford to by ticket.
The Alki started for Alaska with
125 passengers yesterday afternoon
and with 800 sheep and fifty horses.
Crazed with the gold fever and the
hope of reaching Klondyke quickly,
the passengers babe good bye to thou

cause they could not go. Food, COM

the dock all day, shaking hands with
those who were going and gazing with
eyes of chagrin and envy on the lucky
ones as the steamer started for the

Inspector Strickland of the Canadi-

from Alaska on the Portland says:
When left Dawson City month
ago there was 800 claimes staked out.
We can solely say that there were
about 81 100000 in gold mined last
winter. The wages in the mine were

"A Great Improvement.

1t is the aim of the Herald ALWAYS
to encourage and foster that which is
best for the manners. morals, and
prosperity of the people and it can
always be found ready to assist in
every good cause. There is one
marked improvement in the city that
the Herald claims special credit for.
1t used to be not an unusual thing
for Ed. Pollock to beat his wife and
drive her from home at unseason-
able hodrs and in the worst weather
thereby offending common decency
and disgracing the city's fair name.
Since we have been kindly looking
after the old mans villainy he hasn't
once whipped his wife severe enough
to make public scandal nor driven
her screaming into midnight storm.

THE PRICE OF SALMON.
Fishermen Say They Must Have Four
and q Half Cents.

Fishermen Say They Must Have Four
and q Half Cents.
Astoria, Or, April AT Fishers
hall this afternoon there was largely
attended meeting of the Columbia River
Fishermen's Protective Union. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
deciding upon the price Of salmon for
the coming season. After a session
lasting all Of the afternoon, it was de-
cided to demand and hold out for 4 u
cents pound. The action of the union
was the subject of much talk, and Gre
ated somewhat of a sensation. The
packers have signifed their intention
of paying only cents, and, if the fish
ermen maintain the position taken to-
day, another disastrous strike will
probably result. 1t is believed locally
that compromise will be effected.
The now settled successful operation of
the new cooperative cannery no doubt
had considerable to do with the price
decided upon today.
Should the fishermen persist in hold
ing out for q cents, local merchants
will doubtless endeavor to bring about
a compromise. Despite the bright
prospects for this city during the COM
ing year, the chance of differences be-
tween Gamer and fisher is causing great
uneasiness,

Result Of an Attempt by Negroes to
Prevent an Inquest.
St. Joseph, Mo-, March 31.-Knives
and clubs were used in race war last
night, and several deaths may result.
Coroner Richmond attempted to hold an
inquest on the body Of Mrs. Payne, a
negro woman, and the husband Of the
dead woman and her neighbors resisted.
The coroner and constables were driven
away by mob headed by Payne. They
returned an hour later, accompanied by
nearly a dozen policemen, heavily
armed, and the trouble was renewed.
A hundred negroes were gathered, and
they refused to give the body up to the
coroner. The police and negroes fought
with knives, clubs and revolvers, while
the body Of the dead woman was car
ried out of the house. A Desperate
attempt to get possession of the dead
body was again made by the negroes
after it had been placed in the wagon,
and the fight was resumed.
The body was taken into the morgue,
where an inquest was held. Several
Numbered negroes gathered about the
place, but were held at bay by the po-
lice guard that was placed about the
premises. The inquest has not been
concluded.

Communion to cuba,

New York, March 30.-A Herald dis
patch from Washington says President
Mckinley has decided to send special
commission to Cuba. The president
has in view a close personal friend and
a man of considerable legal ability, in
whose judgment Mr.. Mckinley has the
greatest confidence. The specific object
of the special commissions visit to
Cuba will be to take part in the In
tended investigation Of the alleged
murder of DR.. Ruiz. Consul General
Lee has absolutely refused to join in
this investigation on the ground that
he is convinced the Spanish government
will not conduct fair inquiry, and the
decision of the Spanish commission
will be 'whitewash' for all officials
concerned in Ruiz death.
