HER EVIL LIFE
A Fourteen-Year Old Girl Convicted
Of Vagrancy

Of vagrancy
Hugh Stevens, the 14-year-old girl ar
rested on Main street few nights ago
for vaErancy, was taken to the Kings
Daughters Rescue home on Los Angeles
street yesterday afternoon. The girl is
terribly depraved for one of her tender
years. She has refused to live with her
mother and has been staying in uptown
lodging houses of ill-repute. She would
even go out upon the street at night and
solicit strangers to come to her room. A
few nights ago she was arrested while
engaged in this practice.
Yesterday the wayward girl was TAX
en- into the police court for trial. The
evidence was heard, but before passing
sentence Justice Morrison said that he
did not believe the girl was altogether
bad and that he was anxious to give
her an opportunity to reform. He had
learned that she could be placed in the
Florence home and desired to have her
sent there. He then sentenced the girl
to six months in Jail, but suspended ex-
ecution during good behavior.

Considerable Sickness.

August 25-Considerable sickness has
developed on board, there being no less
than eight persons confined 10 their rooms
with dysentery and one, waiter-boy,
with symptoms OF typhoid fever. a case
of typhoid was on the Healey, which We

teen of the Hamilton's passengers has
decided TO stop at MunooE Creek as a
better prospec: than the Klondike.
Munook Creek is about fifty miles north
of the Tanana River ami about halfway

seek the cooperation of the Canadian
Government in sending a great military
expedition TO Dawson City this winter,
carrying supplies for Klondike miners
who are otherwise likely TO starve. Dur
ing the last ten days many business men
have been discussing the situation and
endeayoring to devise some plan whereby
relief NAV be afforded TO men whom win
ter will find showed in about Dawson.
Such mihtarv expedition seems to be
the most practicable plan yet thought OF.
1t is intended to hold meetings this week
to develop the plan and take suitable
action. 1t is claimed that 800 or 1000 men
starting in October, and equipped with at
least a thousand sleds and 1000 dogs could
make the journey over the Dalton trail
safely and successfully, arriving at Daw-
son in Deem Der. The organization and
discipline of a military expedition would
succeed, it is believed, where private or
corporate enterprise would fail. The dogs
could be secured in Canada or Labrador
where conditions are favorable. Two of
them can draw sled loaded with half a
ton of provisions over the snow and ice,
1t is thought that such an expedition
could land 400 or 500 tons of pro-
visions at Dawson, which amount might
turn the fate of hundreds of men from
starvation to life. If the expedition re-
turned during the winter some of the
miners could accompany it out, as they
would not be afraid to follow the lead of
such large organized body. The food
taken in would net profits sufficient TO pay
all expenses, including bonus TO every
member of the expedition. Mail came out
from the Yukon during Deem Der, Janu-
airy and March of last winter. Mail-car-
rier Jack Hayes and other old Yukon.rs
declare that the trip IN and out can be
safely made any month in the year. The
Dominion Government is now preparing
to send mail in each month during this
winter. These facts, it Is claimed, argue
in favor OF the military Expedition and
assure its success if undertaken.

the President was as follows:
To the President Of the United States: The
alarming reports OF shortage OF provisions
and impending starvation of American citi-
zeus on the Yukon River are fully authenti-
Gated. The Chamber of Commerce of Seattle
respectfully urges the General Government to
take immediate steps TO investigate the condi.
ton with view to devising measures for early
relief. The. lack of any local government in

BEATEN Al DAWSON.

Said to Have Received a Whip
ping From Committee.
SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 13.-A story,
which came down on the steamer Hum
boldt from the far north, that an officer of
the North American Transportation and
Trading Company was horsewhipped
at Dawson City, is being given ex-
tenuvs publicity in this city tonight.
1t is told. confirmed and denied, and it
is i'm BOSS; Bile at this time TO say whether
or not il is true.
The story is that the official received
the lash bee ,nse OF the part he has played
in the whisky traffic at D wson City. As
is we'll known much liquor has beer
shipped into Dawson, and it has been es-
serted that the shortage of food is largely
due to the fact that ths companie les so
loaded their river steamers wi h whisky
that food had to remain in the warehouses
at st. Michael. Several returning steam
ers have brought the news that miners at
Dawson were very much incensed at this
work of the com panies, and had threat
ened in case of a shortage of iood to wreck
every building containing liquor.
The story told here is that the official
had some trouble with committee of
miners over the whisky traffic and that as
result they gave him twenty-eigh:
lashes and told him that he would have
to leave Dawson. 1t is stared to- night
that letter containing this news came
down on the Hum boldt addressed to J. IS,
PROVIDES OF tn s city. There is such man
in this city, but to- night he could not be
located.
Passengers who returned on the Hum
boldt admit that they heard rumors of
the punishment. Some say there is no
truth in it; others say they don't know
that it is untrue. They say it may have
taken plac The local representatives of
the North American Transportation and
Trading Company do not believe the
story. Secretary Charles Hamilton as
serts that his company has not shipped
any whisky into Dawson City for months
lie says he gave orders weeks ago to the
officers at st. Michael to make whisky a
secondary consideration. He ordered
that the food should be shippsd as fast as
possible, and that after Dawson City had
been supplied then whisky could be
slipped. Hamilton believes those orders
nave been obeyed. Hamilton is now on
his wav TO St. Michael

THEFT LOCALIZED
BY THIS DECISION
Peculiar Ruling Affecting
Mortgaged Liens Upon
Dwellings.
The Mortgage Cannot Recover
Houses Stolen, From the
Premises.
Incumbrance Said to Be Remov ID
Permanently by the Act OF
Severance.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 20.-Owing
to a decision here to-day by Judge Allen
of the Superior Court relating to mort
gagged liens upon dwellings which have
strayed away or been stolen from the
premises whereon they were mortgaged,
house. stealing is likely to become the pre-
vailing fad in this part of the State.
Leonard Griffin moved house at Straw
berry Park, which had been part of mort
gagged premises. and the receiver has been
trying to get the house back on the prop
erty from which it was taken. Judge AL
len this morning denied the citation, and
the result is that the ouse and the land
have permanently parted company.
The court stated that no order could be
made affecting property not part of the
mortgaged premises. By the act of sever
ance, he said, the dwelling house was dis
incum bered of the mortgage lien. When
erty of the defendant, Leonard Griffin.
He stated, further, that in law it mattered
not whether Griffin still retained the own
ership, as it had become a part of the
really of Amy Sandford, Griffin's sister.
onto whose land he moved the house. The
plaintiff had no right, he held, to proceed
against other property until he had ex-
hausted his mortgage security.
Griffin appeared before Justice Young
this morning and was arraigned upon the
criminal charge brought against him, in
which he is accused of stealing the house,
and his examination will be held later.
