tlOn Co Fort Yukon Furnished by thO
Canadian POIlCe-Party Of Twenty five
Reaches Seattle with the Latest News.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 20.-Twenty-
five men arrived here to-day on the
City of Seattle direct from Dawson
City. They were divided into two
parties, the last one of which left
Dawson October 10. They came out
over the Dalton trail. They are re-
ported to have between them 100000
in drafts, and $500, 900 in go dust
All tell stories Of food shortage in
Dawson that is almost famine The
last person to leave Dawson was Jack
Dalton. When Dalton left, the steam
ers Alice and Bella had reached there,
loaded light. 1t is said that the Bel
las cargo consisted OF whisky and
billiard balls She brought no pro.
visions, The Canadian government
mounted police chartered the Bella
and gave all who wished free pass to
the Yukon The Bella is reported to
have left about October 12, with 200
men.
According to the statements made
by members of the Dalton party, there
is liable to be trouble of the most
serious kind this winter in Dawson.
Billy Leak told one of the men in a
party ahead of him, whom he met at
Dyea, that all the people talk about
at Dawson is the food famine.
Men were gathering in groups and
cursing with might and main the
new Corners that were constantly
coming into the Klondike with
scarcely any provisions. The mounted
police were offering free transporta-
ton to the grub piles" further down
the Yukon, but to countless hundreds
who had labored hard all through the
summer accommodating grub stake,
the prospect was uninviting, to say the
least The men figured that it would
take all their earnings in gold to pay
their living expenses at Fort Yukon
during the winter, and that in the
spring they would not even have
enough left to pay passage money
back to Dawson, to say nothing of
purchasing enough food to subsist un-
til they could get started again. To
these poor fellows the offer Of the
mounted police was no better than
the prospect at Dawson Of being COM
PEELED to live on half rations until the
supply boats could reach the diggings
iu the spring.

HORRIBLE MURDER
Thomas Hlskoy TsliS How Mrs. Merry
wa. Rl,I.d ~ Her Husband


was Klllsd ~ her Husband
CHICAGO, Nov 9R-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Mrs.
Pauline Merry from her home at No.
80 Hope street was solved yesterday
afternoon by the confession of Thomas
Hickey, who was arrested on suspicion
Hickey told a revolving story OF
how Christopher Merry choked and
beat his wife week ago last Friday.
Then, finding it impossible to restore
his wife to consciousness, Hickey says
that Merry decided to put her "out OF
her misery" by beating out her brains
with poker.
The horrible story told BY Hickey
was extorted from him after hours of
questioning in the 'sweatbox" Late
yesterday afternoon he led a party of
police to an uninhabited portion of
the city near Eighty-seventh street
and Western avenue, where Mrs.
Merry's body was found buried be-
meath few inches of loose dirt by the
roadside.
The disappearance of Mrs. Merry
excited almost as much interest as
that of Mrs. Luetgert A week ago
the police learned that she had been
made away with by her husband at
her cottage in Hope street Merry
was a peddler, and owned several
horses When the police began
their investigation a 3-year-old son
Of Merry's told them that his
father had killed his mother
and had lowered her body through
trap door into the cellar. Following
this clue, it was found that Merry had
driven away from his place Saturday
morning with covered wagon, but
no further trace of him has been dis
covered.
Thomas Hickey, an employe of the.
stable where Merry kept his horses,
was put in the sweatbox and confessed
that he and James Smith had
been present when Merry beat
and choked his wife. The three
men sat up Friday night and tried to
restore Mrs. Merry. On Saturday,
Merry, he says, decided to kill his
wife, which he did with a poker.
Merry, although still in the city, has
successfully eluded the police.

CARR TRIES SUICIDE.
HE SWALLOWS A DOSE OF
POUNDED GLASS.
Desperately RSsIsts Remedial Measures
Tries to Brain a Deputy With
ChaIr-Flnally Clicked Into submlS-
sion by tho OmceFA

LIBERTY, No, Nov. 90 About 1870
o'clock yesterday afternoon, William
Carr, murderer of his 3-year-old daugh-
ter, Belle, attempted to commit sui
eide by swallowing pounded glass
He fought desperately against reme-
dial measures and had to be choked
into submission. DR.. Sewer, who is
attending him, does not say whether
or not Carr will recover, but it is
probable that he will.
Carr's wife called to see him yester-
day afternoon, and Deputy Sheriff Ed
Cave took Carr up to the sheriff's
office that he might talk to her. Cave
left the two there with Night Watch
man win Wymore and went
down to the Jail to see il Carr
had made any new plans. The
prisoners told Cave that Carr
had taken bottle of medicine
belonging to one of the prisoners Sat-
urday night and, after pouring the
medicine on the floor, had pounded the
bottle until the glass was reduced
almost to powder Carr put the
pounded glass into a tobacco sack and
went back to his bunk and went to
sleep. The prisoners were afraid to
say anything about it to the officers,
and did not say anything until Carr
was up in the sheriff's Office.
Just before Carr was taken to the
sheriff's office, he went into the closet
with cup of water in his hand. He
took something out of his pocket,
poured it into the cup and drained its
contents. He then walked upstairs
and talked to his wife. When Cave
learned of Carr's queer actions he took
him back to the Jail and went
for DIR. Sewer. The doctor requested
Carr to take an ematic, and he
refused in very strong terms
The doctor then gave him
q hypodermic injection designed to
make him throw the glass up. A few
minutes later he tried to give him an
other, and Carr grew threatening in
his attitude and looks and refused to
permit it. Cave left the Jail to get
some officers to assist This left the
doctor alone with Carr, who picked up
a chair and started at Sewer, but did
not strike him. Then he said he would
kill Cave when he came back.
Cave soon returned with Officers
Thompson and Wymore. Carr lifted
the chair to brain Cave, but Cave was
too quick for him. He leaped and
caught Carr by the throat, and the
two other officers rushed in to assist.
Carr, however, fought desperately, and
kept the three men off several minutes.
Finally they downed him and Carr
was choked into submission. He
begged Cave not to choke him to death.
1t is evidently his desire to have the
officers shoot him. A second injection
was given Carr, but the glass failed
IS come up Sewer said that he could
not say whether Carr would recover
or not, 1t is thought that he will re-
cover, as he has such strong consti-
tuition.
