A. E. Galloway is up from Caldwell
He is one of the old timers of this
state, having come here in the very
early days. Mr. Galloway was a mem.
Der of the council of the First Idaho
territorial legislature when that BODY
held its session in the present States
man office. His increasing years have
not dulled his memory and he mar
rates in detail many features of the
early history of, this section. One story
told by him yesterday in conversation
with Statesman representative was
in relation to the location of the mill
tary post at this point. When it was
learned in the basin, he said, that
camp was to be established in this
vicinity movement was at once
organized to have it so located as to
be easily captured. The rebels were
organized 5000 strong. They selected
Major Blake, an old government Off
Ger, to come down and meet the troops
and induce them to locate their camp
at some point which he should select.
He joined the command in the valley
and quickly gained the confidence of
the officers. Blake had chosen the site
of the present post as one that could
be easily captured by the rebel force
and the officers in command of the
troops were easily led into the trap.
The post was saved from attack,
however, by the arrival of Press STAN
nafOrd from British Columbia. His
brother was commander of the rebel
brigade in the Basin. Stannaford told
him that if the proposed expedition
was not abandoned he would have him
arrested, and that broke up the plot

The Officers ere Looking for VlIsrOus Reptile
Who is Wanted in Lemhi.
Roaming around the hills somewhere
in Idaho or Montana is Chas. A. Kelly.
alias Charles A. Boone, who is much
wanted by the sheriff of Lemhi county.
He is wanted for stealing ID year old
girl, three horses, two rifles, 100 pounds
of flour, 20 pounds of bacon and Sl2
from rancher named Young. He is
also wanted on the charge of commit
ting an awful crime upon an IL year
old girl who is sister to the one he
took away with him. He has been
gone about two week now, and the
sheriffs have been securing the country
for him eyer since he departed.
About six weeks ago Kelly came over
to Lemhi county from Boise city. He
was about Salmon City for a few days
and the officers there looked upon him
as a suspicious character. 1t is said
that he obtained work just in time to
avoid being locked up on the charge of
vagrancy. He hired out to a rancher
named Young, where he worked only
little oyer three weeks, during which
time he committed serious assault up
on the II year-Old daughter of Mr..
Young. This, however, was not
learned of by the girls parents until
Kelly had flown with Florence Young,
the 14-year old daughter.
He influenced Florence to eIope with
him. They started out in the dead of
night and succeeded in getting away
while the rancher and other members
of the family were asleep. There were
four rifles in the rancher's cabin two of
which he took with him. The other
two rifles he disabled, so they could not
be used by Young in case of pursuit.
Each rode a horse and they took with
them third horse to pack their pro.
visions, ammunition and rifles.
Kelly was seen on the 21st of July on
the stage route from Divide, Mont, to
GibbOnsVille, Idaho, but nothing has
been heard from him since. He is
about q years old and stands six feet
two inches in height. He wears light
moustache and has a receding forehead.

The trails from the DYea and White

who came up in the Storage of the
steamer City of Topeka yesterday
made threats that they would not sub
nit to a high duty, and said that if an
attempt was made to impose such a
duty the inspectors might collect If
they could. A man named Olson
from Tacoma expressed himself to
this effect, and claimed to be speaking
for others. The best information to be
had here is that the Canadian dntv
ranges from 20 to 30 per cent. on the
stuff that will be taken into the Klon-
dixie region, though it was understood
that a reasonable miners outfit would
be admitted free.
The gold hunters think they should
not be required to pay more than 10

rlous defiance of the Canadian govern
ment is expected to happen at Lake

would be bloodshed. The customs
officers would be powerless in the face
OF such superior numbers. The miners
say that the fee of SIS per claim and
the royalty of 10 per cent. on the out
put OF large claims is enough for the
government to demand. Since the
announcement has reached here that
the government intends to reserve to
itself each alternate mining claim
the feeling of every man who has out
lifted himself has risen against the
authorities.

Fishermen.

LACK
Fishermen.
JANNAU, Alaska, Aug. 9.-The Klon-
dyke craze is having disastrous eff
feet on the industries of Alaska. The
great salmon cannery at Chilkat has
been compelled to close down from
lack of fishermen in the middle of a
very fine season. Nearly every white
man in the cannnerv has deserted and
started for Dawson City.
Manager hurry tried to get men to
take the vacant places, but soon gave
up the attempt. Men are insulted now
when they are asked to work for a
cannery.
The Chilkat cannnery is controlled
by the Alaskan packers association,
which operates nearly all the can
nerieS on the coast
Employees are leaving the other
canneries for the Klondyke. The pro-
liability is that work at nearly all of
them will be abandoned soon, owing
principally to lack of fishermen.
At Douglas City, across the channel,
about fifty men have given notice to
quit work next pay day. They are en-
ploVed in the big Treadwell gold mines
and mills. Others are leaving without
notice and heading for the Klondyke.
At every shift one or more are missed.
1t is feared that so many will desert
that the mines and mills cannot be
worked.

a Presentation.

The annual meeting of the Idaho
conference of the Methodist EPISCOPAL

attendance. The bishop administered
the sacrament then he gave pleasant
and profitable address, after which the
regular business was proceeded with.
Rev. 6. A. Landen, presiding elder
of Boise district, showed that the past
year has been the most successful
this district has ever enjoyed. The
elders gave encouraging reports as
their names were called.
Wednesday evenings informal ses-
sion was made very interesting by a
little timely, we'll planned affair. The
Junior League marched in to the tune,

tied on the table. The league then
took position on the platform, and the
leader gave neat presentation speech
which was heartily applauded. Ad-
dresses were given by Rev. Mr.. Yost
of PocatellO and Rev. Mr.. Hammond
of Boise, after which the ladies and
gentlemen of the congregation gave
the conference apleasant reception.
Among the visitors are Bishop Foss
of New York, Rev. Burns from Cali.
fornia and Rev. Van Scoy, dean of
the Portland university.
Thursday morning at o'clock the
conference was opened with sacra-
mental service conducted by Bishop
Foss, after which organization and
routine work was completed.
The afternoon was crowded with
committee work and public meetings
At p. m. the WOmens Home Mission
AIRY society had its annual meeting
which was addressed by Rev. C. E.
Holman of HALEY and Rev. +. T. How
ell of Shoshone.
Thursday evening was occupied by
the missionary anniversary. The
church was crowded to overlooking to
listen to the eloquent sermon of Rev.
+. L. Young. Many came from the sur
rounding country, and the audience ex-
tended for out on the sidewalk.
Friday morning at 8 o'clock the con-
ference was called to order by Bishop
Foss. The first half hour was given to
devotional exercises conducted by Rev.
Winterburn of Pocatello.
The first business before the confer
ence was the report of a committee to
adjust the financial relations of the
Columbia River and Idaho conferences.
The report of the committee was I'M
favorable to the claims of the Columbia
River conference. The report of this
was accepted and the com
mittee discharged. Another commit
tee was appointed to report to the ses-
sion of this conference year hence.i
The hour arrived for the admission
OF members. The classes were called
forward and addressed by the Bishop.
This address was very able one. The
leading points were: the world needs
an intelligent ministry, a consecrated
a loyal ministry, a ministry
baptized with the Holy Spirit.
A vote was taken looking to the re-
ductiOn of the ratio of representation
in the General Conference which was
carried.

having read the glowing accounts OF
rich gold finds in Alaska, decided to
go to that region in pursuit of the
hekle goddess. He went, and for a
time his wife, who remained at Tusca-
rera heard from him occasionly.
Then his letters ceased coming, and

the months into years, Mrs. Young ul-

reach of human agencies. AS time

dead.

time the shadows disappeared and the
SuilolilliG pIcuOlnludJ6u.
About the same time Mrs. Young
and Fueller discovered that the tender
passion had them in its thrall, and as
Fueller was making arrangements to
leave Tuscarora and settle temporarily
in Salt Lake, Mrs. Young decided to
accompany him.
This was in February last, and after
leaving Nevada the couple proceeded
to Denver, where according to Fuel
ler's version of the affair, they en-
tered into a contract of marriage.
They then returned to Salt Lake and
for time resided on X street. Two
months ago, however they took rooms
and board at No. 23l South Third East
street, where they lived until about
two weeks ago.
1t was at this time that these do
nestle relations were rudely disturbed
by the surprising intelligence that
Young was not only alive but that he
had amassed a fortune while Fueller
was wooing his wife. AS evidence of
the fact that fortune had smiled upon
him, Young forwarded $500 to his
wife's father at Eureka and instructed
him to send Mrs. Young to Alaska at
once. But Fueller had assured her of
his desire to still love and protect her,
and it is not known what her decision
will be.
Fueller formerly resided in Colorado,
and is highly connected there. He
said in the presence of Mrs. Young's
father yesterday that he would try to
prevail upon her to secure a divorce
from her husband, after which he
would make her his lawful wife.
Mr., Bowen apparently acquiesced in
this proposed arrangement, and it win
in all probability be carried into effect,
in the event that Mrs. Young consents.
Young, of course, is still in ignor-
ance of the arrangements that have
resulted from his combined absence
and silence, and it is not known in
what light he will view the matter
when in possession of all the facts and
circumstances.-Salt Lake Tribune.
