TWO-YEAR-OLD CHILD CARRIED
OFF BY A CATAMOUNT.
Woman in Charge Was Asleep, and
the Babe Has Met q Ter
Fible Fate.

Denver, Col, Aug. pa special to
the Republican from Casper, Wyo.
says:
All is excitement in Casper over the
loss of a 2-year-old child that was car
ried away by mountain lion on Cas-
per mountain yesterday. A fruitless
search was made by herders of focks
and miners all day and 40 men searched
all last night in vain to find the baby.
The number of those in search is con-
stantly swelling, and the search is con-
up without rest or sleep. The little one
is an orphan, whose mother died last
year and whose father had put it into
the care and keeping Of family by tho
name of Henderson. who are herdine
sheep 10 miles from Casper.
At daylight Henderson arose and fol-
lowed his flock, leaving his wife and the
orphan charge sleeping in camp. When
he returned at o'clock for breakfast
the woman was still fast asleep and the
baby was gone. 1t had awakened and
toddled off in it's night dress. A search
was at once made for the little one and
it's bare tracks were found leading to a
spring nearly mile away. Near this
spring and near the baby's tracks was
found also fresh track of a huge
mountain lion. and the fate of the lit
tie one was then known. No other
trace of the babe has been found.

RIVER boats FAILED TO ARRIVE,
Captain Of the Portland Laughs at
His Reported Treasure.

Port Angeles. Wash, Aug. 3O-Cap
tain Kidston, in command of the steam.
err Portland, reports a pleasant voyage
and explained the delay of three days
in reaching Port Angeles by stating that
serious storm ut st. Michaels delayed
the discharge of his cargo He laughed
when told of the reports that the Port
land was carrying over $2,OOO,OOO gold.
As matter of fact, he said, there was
only about $S25.OOO in gold dust and
nuggets on board of his vessel. Up to
the time he left st. Michaels he had
heard of no newly discovered gold fields.
Among the Portlands passengers
from st. Michaels is Timothy Bell, who
has with him $4,000 in gold, which he
dug from claim which cost $l25.
William Ogilvie, dominion surveyor
says the 600 claims now staked out will
yield $60,0OO,OOO. From number of the
Portland's crew it was learned that
Captain Kidston had expected the
Weare, one of the company's boats, to
come down the Yukon with about a
million dollars worth of nuggets and
gold dust, but as she did not arrive in
time, he decided to bring down the
treasure next trip. The United States
cutter Bear. it is said, will 60 with the
Portland on her next trip from st. Mi.
chaels to Seattle. As most of the min.
ers will make their cleanup by that
time, it is expected that the Portland's
cargo will he valuable one.

MAGEE PREFERS CHIICOTr PASS.
Says the Majority Of Those 1T Skag-
nay VIII Fail to Get In.

San Francisco, Aug. 3O-Thomas Ma
gee, ST., who Is en- route to the Klon-
dixie gold fields with party Of San
Franciscans, writes to the Associated
Press from Lake Bennett, b. c., under
date of August Is, confirming previous
reports of the terrible condition of the
White pass trail from Skaguay and
relating the almost insurmountable diff
ficulties to be encountered by the gold
hunters who prefer that route to the
more formidable Chilkoot pass route.
Magee thinks that the majority of the
crowd now at Skaguay and Dyea will
have to abandon all hope Of getting in
to the Yukon country this year, and is
certain that late corners have no chance
of doing SO.
He also deplores the fact that SO
many would-be prospectors seem to
overlook the fact that once started
from Dyea or Skaguay, food and other
supplies are not to be purchased for
love or money, as no one has any more
than he absolutely needs for himself.
He thinks that $50 pounds is about the
right amount for each man. but says
that hundreds are starting out with less
than half of that amount, and predicts
disaster for them.

BRUSH FIRES AT ROSSlAND.
Causing Alarm, az They Are Rapidly
Nearing Suburban Residences.

Rossland, B. c., Aug. 30.-Brush fires
are raging to the south of the city and
are causing alarm. as they are rapidly
nearing suburban residences.
About 10 o'clock last night the fire
brigade responded to an alarm. The
fire was in a cabin on the hill on Third
avenue, west of Washington street. The
cabin was nearly consumed before the
department was able to get a line of
hose stretched to 1t. A bucket brigade
saved house adjoining the one which
burned. Several men were sleeping in

strike Of Harvest Hands.

Oakesdale, Aug. W.-lnere is a strike
among harvest hands here. and it is
quite likely that wages will be higher
than farmers had anticipated. There
are eight or 10 headers ready to start
in this vicinity, but can not do so be-
cause of lack of men. There are not
less than 80 idle men walking the streets
of Oakesdale, but none will go to work
for less than 81 per day, and farmers
do not wish to pay that price. Header
box drivers have been getting sl.25 to
$3.50 per day and board.

William and Sam.

Haiti has been forced to make compen-
satioa to Herr Luders for his arrest and
imprisonment, and to humble herself be-
fore the German Empire, the Kaiser max
ing his terms to the little Black Republic
as hard as his genius for insolence could
suggest. There is reason to believe that
Haiti was in the wrong, but the German
method of seeking redress was so often
sive to all who love to see great power
show the gracious consideration of great
ness that much sympathy is felt for Presi-
dent Sam, and some regret that he was at
the kaiser's mercy. Halper's Weekly
