HELD PRISONERS BY STORM
Three Nights and Four Days
Spent on a Mountain.
FOUND IN A CRATER
An Ice Chamber Used as an
Abiding Place.
A Small Quantity of Prunes and Hard Tack,
Softened by Sulphur-laden Steam, the
Only Means of Subsistence-A Narrow
Escape From "a Horrible Death.

Tacoma, WASH, Aug. 16. j. z.
Mitchell and wife and Miss Jeanne Nc
Farlape of Sumter and Sergeant Will
A. Hall of Puyallup were nearly starved
and frozen to death at the top OF Mount
Tacoma last week. They were held
prisoners for three nights and four days
by storm.
While the party was ascending the
mountain the storm gathered, increas-
ing to hurricane Just as they
scrambled over the mouth OF the crater
into place of shelter. They remained
huddled together,during the first night,
and not an eye closed in sleep. The
next day an attempt was made by the
men to prepare to escape. but the wind
blew them back from the crater's rim.
The second night was passed in shell
tered ice cavern, with the sulphur laden
steam rising ON all sides. Prunes and
hard tack. softened by the steam, was
the bill of fare, and before the morning
of the fourth day every morsel had been
devoured. In addition to the prospects
of freezing to death the party was face
to face with starvation. The storm
broke on the fourth day, and all escaped.
The Mitchell party reports that the
Mazamas burned for firewoou the largo
flag pole which Oscar Brown of Cleo.
lum risked his life to carry TO the top
of the mountain five years ago. On
this pole the largest American flag ever
unfuried at three mile altitude had
been hung Mountain climbers from
all parts of the world had carved their
names on the flag staff.

tist ministers we're placed under, arrest
Saturday night by policeman on the
charge of preaching in the open air
without license. The charge was dis
missed by Justice Trader without a

of citizens followed the gentlemen to
the Office of the justice. Ona Of the
preachers was the Rev. d. j. Rawlinson
Of Baltimore, the other was the Rev. +.
A. Clarke of Salisbury. The son OF
MIR. Rawlinsun was also in the com

affair was the statement, upon which
the officer insisted, that he was sent
personally by the mayor to collect the
license from the preachers.

Destroyed a Barrel Of Beer.


Tangier Island. in the Chesapeake
Bay, is said to be stirred up over an
occurrence that took place there sew
eral days ago. Some Of the young men
residing there joined together and or
dered some beer from Baltimore to
quenGh their thirst. The island as well
as the mainland of Accomac, is under
local option and there has always buen
strong sentiment against the sale of
Intoxicating liquors. The beer was
shipped to the island in bottles, put up
securely in flour barrel. 1t was taken
from the steamboat wharf at the south
ern end of the island and carried in u
canoe TO the landing near Chambers
store. Here the owners concealed it
under the cover of sails till they could
go home and get baskets in which to
carry 1T away.
The Rev. e. P. Swain, pastor OF the
Methodist Church there, and stout
Probibitionist, having heard Of what
was going on, took an ak and going to
the landing demolished the barrel and
its contents When the young men
returned and found out what had been
done they were very indignant and
made threats. but it is probable they
have cooled down by this time.

Germs, which, in extending their trade,
send registered parcels containing their
goods to tho smaller postoffices, adj
dressed to fictitious or otherwise un-

make some plausible excuse TO the

dispose of at reduced prize rather than
return the parcel. Tine opening OF

the postal regulations, as has been fire.
quenrly pointed out by the Department,
