Looks Like irresuiariiv-1hs Sheriff haay Have
Put His Foot In II,
In February 1894, Frank Keel was
charged with burglary, apprehended
and lodged in the Canyon County jail,
from which he made his escape. Sub.
sequently, the grand jury investigated
the case and ignored the charge. Keel
recently returned to visit his folks who
live on Big Willow Creek, over in the
Payette country. Sheriff Taylor APP
pears to have heard of his return, dug
up the old, outlawed papers and sent
his deputy, Ross Madden, out to arrest
Keel. Keel was arrested on the 18th OF
this month but not until the 22nd was
any complaint made out against him
and probably would not have been
made then had not Attorney Frank
Smith made formal demand on the
Sheriff for Keel's release. Yesterday
morning Smith secured KeeIs dis
charge. 1t appears that the Sheriff acted
throughout without legal authority and
has possibly laid himself liable to pro-
secution for false Imprisonment
More will probably be heard Of this in
tereetipg case.

Friends of international bimetalism

reports from across the water indica-

WolcOtt commission now in London
is known TO be itself surprised at the
encouragement which. it has every
where received. Private dispatches
and letters more than bear out the ten

that even Lombard street is aroused to
an apprehension of the fact that a

France seems to be prepared to Join
with the United States in any propo-
sition advanced, and England is un-
doubtedly willing to reopen the Indian
minis and to extend the use of subsid-
larry coinage throughout the kingdom.
The commission headed by Senator
Wolcott received its instructions re-
specting the attitude of the Admins

business, and Messrs. Wolcott, Steven
son and Paine have personally given
to those with whom they have conyersed
such information regarding the grow

United States and the feeling of the
President and his advisers looking to
such an agreement for international
bimetallism, as has opened the eyes of
England and drawn more strongly

er, except that the Spanialds heard of
gold already mined and refined, where
as the Alaska gold is not yet dug.
The Spaniards never got their gold:
the Alaskans are getting it by the
ton. Here, for Instance, is quo
tation from the issue of June 30 of
the Alaska Mining Record of Juneau.
1t relates to the arrival of one Jack
Hayes, the mail carrier for the Yukon
district. Hayes left Juneau on Jan.
IA and completed his tour of duty on
June 26. After an interview with
him about his experiences, the Record
says:
Much excitement prevails all
through the Yukon district over the
Klondike discoveries, and all kinds of
stories of the riches there are told
many of which Mr.. Hayes says are true.
1t is true that two tenderfeet, railroad
men from Los Angles, Cal.-Frank
Summers and Charles Clemmens-
have struck it rich. They went in a
year ago and located on the Klondike
last fall. Clemmens sold his interest
Tor S30, 900 cash, and his partner, Sum
mers, held on two weeks later and
got $4,000. The money to pay the
men was taken from the dump which
had been lifted from the shaft on the
claim during the winter. These two
men had each PANIED out S25OO on
their claim while prospecting it. The
man that bought Clemmen's interest
bound the bargain with a S232 nugget
which had been taken from the Klon-
dixie. Summers is a single man.
Clemmens has wife and two child.
rem in Los Angles. 1t is said that
both will come out on the next. boat
via st. Michael, bringing with them
their little fortunes. Neither man
had ever had any experience in min
ing.
Alec Mcdonald took one pan from
his claim which tipped the scales to
the tune of $500, and offered wager
of $1,000 that he could pick his dirt
and in twenty miputes get a pan
that would go over 100 ounces (S16,OO0):
No one cared to cover the wager
