Among Thieves"

Among Thieves"
Percy M. James is the name given by a
respectfully dressed man who called at
police headquarters this afternoon and told
of his unpleasant experience at Jackson
City last night.
Mr.. James says he lives in Austin, Texas,
and is here on visit. He went out to see
the sights last night. A short distance
west of the new building which will some
day be known as the city post Office he
found colored female, who was willing
to be his companion for the occasion.
A public vehicle was called and James
and his friend got in. The man didn't
care just where he went, and the driver
took the pair across the bridge to the vii
lage where law is at discount.
The driver knew just where to go with a
couple of this kind, and he pulled up in
front of a saloon door. The remainder
Of the story. as told, is that the cabman
received SIS, at intervals, with which to
purchase drinks, and absconded with the
money.
The alleged theft was not committed in
the District, but an investigation will be
made, as it affects the reputation of local
cabman.

DAWSON CITY BURNED.
Report Brought by Capt. Freeman OF

Report Brought by Capt. Freeman of
Steamer COquitlan.
A dispatch to the New York Evening
Telegraph states that the steamer Coquit-
Ian, which has just arrived from Skaguay,
bril- gs the report that Dawson City in the
Klondike was burned about three weeks
ago.
Captain Freeman of the Coqu.tlan says
that he heard the report just before leav-
ing Skaguay. Some men were said to have
come up the Yukon to Lake Bennett with
the news. Packers brought the story over
the trail.
Captain Freeman received no confirma-
ton of the report. although. he said, II
was persistently reported to him by klon-
dikers in Skaguay.
Dawson City, which is on the Yukon,
has been the most important point in the
Few mining regions. Joseph Ladue, the
founder, says that the population in June
of this year exceeded 1000.
The houses Of Dawson were built Of wood,
end great many Of the miners con-
tented themselves even with tents. The
dangers of the spreading of fire. should a
blaze ever start in the town. were great,
but there was no other material at hand
from which buildings could be put up in
the limited time which elapsed from the
discovery Of the riches to the forma alton
of city.
II the town has been destroyed il will
mean inestimable hardship to the thou
sands who are wintering in the wilds and
are depending upon the Dawson supplies
for the necessaries Of life. Great priya-
ton and loss Of life are sure to follow
the destruction Of Dawson.

Railroads Entering South Carolina
Bring the Matter to n Gilman

ATLANTA, Ga, September 29.-The re-
cent tanele between the liquor dealers of
Atlanta, the railroads and the state OFF,
Gals Of South Carolina over the shipment
OF liquor In the latter state has reached a
most Eovel climax.
Under the ruling of Judge Simonton as
10 what constituted an original package,
the railroads have been sending large
quantities Of liquor across the line, and
the dispensary business has ceased almost
entirely. Last week the Southern railroad
refused to continue the business, and has
a big law suit on in consequence. The Sea-
board Air Line notified the dealers that
they would continue to carry liquor until
midnight last night, when the traffic would
cease.
In the scramble to take advantage of
the limited time car load after car load Of
strong drink has been shipped from this
city, one firm alone sending seven cars
The result Is that in Atlanta liquor Is at
a premium.
