Port Townsend. Wash, September a.
The tug Pioneer. which left Puget sound
September 70. with the bark Shirley in
tow for Skagway. returned at O'Clock
this morning. having made the run down
in ninety-slx hours. The Pioneer brings
report of landslide which occurred
near Sheep Camp on the Chilcoot pass
last Sunday morning. in which eighteen
men are said to have lost their lives, Only
one body is said to have been recovered,
that of man named Choynslo. a cousin
of Joe Choynski, the prize fighter. The
men supposed to have been lost were
packers on the Dyea trail. The bridges
over THE Skagway river have been wash
ed out and the river Is n raging torrent.
W. w. Sprague of Tacoma, who started
eight weeks ago with a three years outfit,
returned from Skagway on the schooner.
The steamer Alki. a week overdue from
Alaska, arrived THE morning at O'Clock.
She earned list of men returning from
Skagway who were unable to cross the
pass. The snow is six inches deep at
Lake Bennett. and three inches fell on
the summit of the Chilcoot pass last Sat-
urday.
Captain Nelson, master of the tug Pio-
neer. says Three men came to Skag-
way beach on Monday night with a story
TO the effect that at Sheep Camp, at $3.50
Monday morning. peculiar sound from
the southwest side of the mountain was
heard and before the residents OF the
camp could fully dress they found them
selves rapidly borne down by mass OF
moving debris from the mountain side.
A majority of the residents of Sheep
Camp escaped although nearly the en-
tire village was destroyed. The slide
struck the town IN the northern part,
where nearly all the packers were quar-
tered in tents and asleep. The main part
OF the slide from the mountain missed
Sheep Camp proper, although very lituc
of the town remains. The packers camp
was wholly carried away. and it is i'm
possible to learn the names of the unfor-
tunates, as they were all known by their
given names such as jim. Jack. Dick.
etc.
"The cause of the slide was said 20 be
on account OF heavy rains on the hills,
where a large reservoir was formed, which
body s weight forced the debris down INTO
The basin"

Defense Trying to Prove the De-

Chicago, September 24.-The testimony
for the defense in the Luetgert trial today
was for the most part of witnesses who
said that they had seen Mrs. Luetgert
in the vicinity of Kenosha, Wis. within
a few days after the date on which it has
been claimed by the State that she was
murdered.
The fact that Juror William Hartley
was indicted In 1887 for conspiracy and
bribery In connection with the Cook coun-
ty commits sioners' scandal was dragged to
the front today. States Attorney Deenan
said tonight
II have spoken TO cx-State's Attorney
Iongnecker. who had charge OF the county
commissioner PRS Doodle cases and he assured
me that Juror Hartley was perfectly
honest. honorable and reliable man and
that all the charges against him had been
wiped out. Tho State ia satisfied with
the makeup OF the jury
Mr.. Deenan was apparently not disturbed

Mrs. Luetgert as that of a strange woman

THE FEVER TICKS.
Governor Jones of Arkansas VIII
Have an investigation Made.

Little Rock, Ark, September 2i.--Under
the direction of Governor Dan W. Jones.
thorough investigation IL being made
into the reports that Arkansas cattle In
feoted with Texas fever ticks are being
shipped from this State. Secretary OF AgrI-
culture Wilson has received complaints
from the department inspector at the stock
yards at Chicago and the Illinois author
tiles have requested that the entire State
DO included In the infected district under
the Federal quarantine regulations. Cow
elnor Jones, In a communication TO the
secretary. today says that he is OF the
opinion that tho quarantine regulations
have not been violated and that no fever
exists or has existed in the localities
designatod by the Inspector. The cattle are
doubtless infected with ticks. as nearly
all OF the CATTLE OF this State are at this
season OF the year. says Governor Jones,
but they are not fever ticks; at least. no
fever ever developes from thsm In this
vicinity.
