Fugitives Surprised when Asleep
Prisoners Taken to Sitka by u. S. S. pinta

Our last issue stated that Captain Mar
n had taken posse of 70 ty picked
men, heavily armed, on board the Rust
Ter i'll search Of the fugitives.
We shall continue the narrative by
stating that the Rustler having had her
larder replenished and a supply Of coal
taken aboard, sufficient to last a week
cast off from the dock and proceeded on
her return voyage to the vicinity of Bear
creek, Admiralty island.
More unproptious weather for such All
expedition could not we'll be imagined.
A bitter cold wind came raging and
snow-capped summit of the mountains,
whi~h inclose Lynn canal, ard rushing
down their rugged sides, came bleak,
penetrating, cyclonic gale, and t. ether
they dashed the icy waters Of Gastineaux
channel iuto a fury.
From this it will be evident that the
Rustler and her determined crew were
OH no holiday expedition. There is no
doubt that much discomfort must have,
been experi> need by these men, but one
hears no complaints.
The Rustler arrived at her destina-
ton, Bear creek, early on Tuesday morn
ing Captain Martin then divided his
command into two parties. The one was
to proceed up The creek to the place Of
the shooting and then, having located
the trail Of the fugitlves, follow it to the
end. The other was to remain on board
the Rusller and steam around Admiralty
island to Green bay 10 intercept the out
laws if they attempted to leave by water
from that side.
The party landed at Bear creek. con-

sisting of nineteen men, was placed in
command of Jack Buzzell. Without loss
of time this party started for the cabin
where the shooting occurred which they
reached without incident.
Nothing about the cabin appeared to
have been disturbed since the posse Wis
tied it last, but several of the men in
this party spoke of the evidences of the
sanguinary encounter which had SO
lately taken place. Some of them Wis
tied the scene of Marshal Watts death,
and noticed a depression in the snow
where he had evidently stopped to rest
in his Intellectual attempt to leave the
scene
From the cabin tail was distinguish
able leading i'll southwesterly dlrec-
ton. This was followed until it split
into two, each taking a different direc-
ton The first one followed proved to
be an old one and led back again to the
cabin, but with the second, however,
the posse was more fortunate. No diff
fl ulty was experienced in following the
last trail taken up. 1t appeared as if the
outlaws were not familiar with the coun-
try, for the route traversed was very cir
cuitous, leading up hill and down dale
until the salt water of Green bay came
in sight, and there at anchor lay the
Rustler.
Upon reaching the beach the Rustler
sent a boat and took the lard party on
board. The Rustler had made good
passage, calling at Funter bay to notify
the men there of Their errand and to be
on the lookout and not permit any boat
to be taken, finally arriving at Green bay
on Tue slay afternoon. The Rustler
party upon arriving at Green bay invited
on board an Indian who was living in a
cabin on the beach. From him they
learned that two men had come to his
hut that day and had tried to engage his
services to transfer them across Chat
ham stra t., offering him rifle and a
watch if he wovld do so, but he refused,
saying it was too rough. He supplied
them with some bread and venison, and
they then left him.
1t was decided to make no further
search that night but await the dawn

next day. The Rustler was thereupon
taken around the point outside Green
bay and anchored.
The next morning, Wednesday, the
posse went ashore and approached the
Indian cabin cautiously, but it was
empty and no trail was visible leading
from it. The posse was then divided
into small parties and spread out over
the hill side to institute general search
for the outlaws who were supposed to be
very near Two Indians with their dogs
joined in the hunt and their experienced
eye soon detected trail leading to the
woods and their keen-scented dogs fol-
lowed it closely In a very few minutes
one of the Indians, by name Moore,
teacher at the Juneau Mission School,
very intelligent man. educated at Am
herst college, Mass, who had been taken
along as interpreter, discovered the men
they were in search of and called the at
tention of the other Indian, who at once
covered them with his rifle. His first I'M
pulse was to shoot, but as the men did
not move he calculated they were asleep
und>r their blankets. This proved to be
the case. Moore sent back the other In
dian to inform some Of the posse and he
met R. S. Cheney and l.. H. OLSEN, who
quickly arrived on the scene. With re-
markable presence Of mind Cheney
jumped right down upon the sleepers,
calling upon them to surrender. Their
only reply was not to shoot. Olesen,
Captain Martin, Scotty and James assist
ed Cheney to d,sarm and secure the two
men, Sims companion being Hiram
Shell, of Douglas.
The men offered no resistance what
ever the only remark Slim made at this
time was "that he knew when he was
taken.' Slim and Shell had rife and
two six-shooters.
The outlaws had gone to sleep in a
little depression between several large
logs and had covered themselves with
one blanket and some brush.
Captain Martin served his warrant and
formally arrested his prisoners, and tying
them together, marched them down to
the Rustler which started for Juneau, but

Last Public Appearance.
LONDON, June 29.-The queen re-
turned to London this afternoon for
what, it is said on excellent authority,
will be her last public appearance in
the metropolis, for, with the celebra-

Thursday, the state appearances
of her majesty will be finished.
Henceforth, for whatever span
of life may be left to her,
it is declared, she will confine herself
to such work for the state as can be
done at Windsor Balmoral or Osborne.
All official MISUNDERSTANDING rooms,
public ceremonies, opening town halls
and the like, which will bring
the sovereign face to face with the
people-will now be relegated to
the prince and princess of Wales. The
queen thinks-so the statement runs
that she has done enough. Her devo-
lions and acceptance of her obliga-

STOPS cARNIsHMENT.


KANSAS CITY, Kan, June s6.-George
E. Rowand. formerly an employee of
the Kansas City Smelter 4 Refining
Co., was given judgment by jury
in the district court yesterday against
A. Thruskie, for S22T5. The case
is an important one to laboring
men, as it decides that the Kansas
exemption law must be considered
before laborer's wages are tied
up by garnishment proceedings. Row
and was sued for Ss2.75 in Justices
court, and Thruskie was given judg-
ment for the amount. Rowand's wages
were garnisheed, and he lost his posi-
ton. Thereupon Rowand appealed to
the district court asking for judgment
for S2s.75 and for $500 damages. After
the merits of the case had been thor
oughly gone over Judge Alden in
structed the jury that the plaintiff
was entitled to recover all of his wages
that were attached through the garni-
shee. He cited as his authority sim
liar case reported in the Fiftieth
Kansas, in which it was held
that such exemption was in the
interest and for the benefit of
the debtors family and that the
debtor himself could not waive his ex-
emption. The jury failed to allow
Rowand any damages, but gave him a
verdict for the money secured by the
defendant in the garnishment proceed
ings. According to the exemption law
of this state a married man can own his
home, household effects and draw rea-
sonable salary and yet be execution
proof as far as garnishments are
concerned. Before a laborer's wages
can be attached on a debt it must be
shown that his daily income is in ex-
cess of what it costs him to provide for
himself and family. A single man,
however, is exempt of nothing. This

ATLANTA, Ca, June 29.-A derrick

terday afternoon, knocking three
workmen from scatfolding on the
ninth story. Two of them were
dashed to instant death on the ground,
1876 feet below, and the third was saved

were standing on platform which
skirts the edge Of the ninth floor. When
the derrick fell, the part Of the scat
fold upon which they stood was swept
away and the men were thrown into
space. Brown, by the widest freak Of
luck, grasped one Of the derrick ropes
as he shot through the air. As the

ropes on the tackle were set in motion,
one going up and the other down. 1t
