to sustain the chief theory of the free

From the ST. Paul Dispatch, July Q.
Mike Dalton, we'll known contrac-
tor in the northwest, who last year
spent several months in the gold fields
of Alaska has disposed of his Alaskan
interests and taken property in the
Rainy Lake country. Mr.. Dalton says
that the Rainy Lake country is far
superior to Alaska. While there is lots
of gold in the northern country, it is
very difficult to prospect in. The entire
country is covered with moss, anywhere
from four to eight feet deep. To get at
the rock and see what there is at all,
the prospector has to 60 through a great
deal of labor in clearing away the moss.
In the Rainy Lake country the contrast
is very great. The quartz rock is on
the surface, and in many cases entirely
uncovered, making travel comparatively
easy and investigation more certain.

A CHICAGO MYSTERY.
No One Able to Tell Who Shot General
Bragg's Sister.

CHICAGO. March 1.-THE mystery sur
rounding the shooting of Mrs. Caroline E.
Bragg, the wealthy sister-in-law of General
Bragg, of Wisconsin, has not yet been
fathomed by the police In fact, as far
as conclusive evidence goes, the case seems
further from solution than ever. Detectives
interviewed Mrs. Bragg at the hospital to-
day. They informed her of the revolver
being found in a closet. She was more un-
communicative than usual, but said she
never owned a pistol and did not know
how to use one. She asked the doctors and
nurses to withdraw, as she wished to speak
to the officer alone When they had gone
she said:
You need not look for burglars as the
ones who shot me. There was no burglar
there.
WAS any one in the house that morn
ing before the shot was fired except your
self and Josephine?" was asked.
mo one" she said firmly. I'VE were
alone"
And you say you did not fire the shot?'
mo: / positively did not"
"Who else could have fired it?'
1T looks strange. 1t looks very strange"
What do you Think
"Oh. it was not Josephine She was al
ways a good girl and always obeyed me.
1t was not She.
This was all the old lady would say.
Lieutenant Bonfeld, in charge of the case,
is evidently of the opinion that Josephine.
the adopted daughter. did the shooting. If
Mrs. Bragg RECEIVERS. as now seems prob
able and no further evidence is secured,
however, they will be compelled 10 release
Josephine The only chance for solving the
myster is in tracing down the purchaser
of the pistol. which was q new one.
