Two Parties Arrive on the Steamship Utopia
 at Seattle.
Over Two Hundred Thousand Dollars Brought Out by
 Four Men.
Report the Recovery Of the Bodies of Sixty Three Victims of the
 ChilcoOt valanche.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, April 18.-The steamship Utopia got into port tonight, having on board several Klondikers. One party of four left Dawson on March IS, com ing out over the ice and reaching tide water eighteen days later. They are Chris Morgan of Butte County, Cali forna, W. F. Lloyd of Cripple Creek, Colo. M. B. Hall of Spokane, Wash, and F. M. Madale of Seattle
 Another returning party, most of the members of which have claims on Stewart and Pelly Rivers, includes J. E. McGrew, J. S. Cole, William Boh- lander, A. Habner, John Badley and M. Sheppard. In answer to an inquiry as to the amount of money his party brought out MT. Morgan said: We have over $2000 in drafts, bull lion and dust. We all have valuable | claims and will return in few weeks to work them"
 Morgan started from Fort Yukon on February 23, with Captain Phil Ray and came with him as far as Dyea. He says:
 There is every promise for big re- suits from the Panama River It is not a swift stream and is navigable about 250 miles for small steamers. The method of prospecting has changed on the Yukon. Old miners never looked for gold in the flat places without any grade. If they had done that a year or two ago they would have been thought crazy. Now they are digging down anywhere, going to bed rock and finding gold. It is the greatest gold bearing country in the world and my own opinion is that the gold in theee is only just beginning to be found. Why, they are taking out nuggets of it away up on the benches and side hills. That shows that the gold deposit is not the result of action of streams, and that man is just about as likely to find gold away from creek bed as in it."
 The Klondikers report that the winter trail over the ice and snow will soon be thing of the past. The ice is rapidly breaking up and the rivers are opening.
 When the last man out passed the scene of the avalanche on Chilcoot trail siXty-three bodies had been recovered and the work of looking for the un- fortunates was still in progress.

N.Y. Van Arsdale, of GoOdluCk. near
this village, is one of the wealthiest
farmers Of Ocean county. He is about
sixey-fve years old and afflicted with
diseases which in time must end his
life. He is a widower and has three
Srown daughters whom, although
much courtad, he has not allowed to
marry.
His eldest daughter. Maria. has long
been engaged to "Nelse' Grant. of

when crippled by an injury received
in the discharge of duty. 'Nelse" owns
an attractive home and enjoys the es-

Last Friday the memorable papa was
supposed 30 be dying. When told by
the doctor that his time was up Tom

out of breath the supposed dying man
said, articulating with difficulty:

SCHOOLGIRL FOUGHT WILD CAT.
Rescued n the Last Moment by a
Courageous Dog.

Blue Mountain Lake, y. Y, Jan. 10
Bertha Mounds, a pretty little eight
year. old daughter of Samuel Mounds,
was passing through lonely stretch of
woods on her way home from school
last Wednesday. when a wild cat
sprang from behind the bole of a tree
and confronted her.
The girl drew bactSs with a crJ Cf
fright. The wild cat eyed her with
cleaning eyeballs. all the while ansIi-
~ flashing it's sides with it's brstling
tail 1t was a situation to brighten the
boldest The child felt that nothing
short of a miracle could save her from
an awful death.
She turned and ran down the road
screaming at the top of her voice The
wild cat bounded after her, and when
near enough clawed savagely ut her
dress The terror-stricken child beat
the cat in the face with her slate until
the animal drew back, snorting with
pain.
For moment the animal crouciled on
it's stomach. Then. panther like, il
leaped at the girl Fortunately for the
child the cat had miscalculated the dis
lance and fell just short of the quak-
ing child. Pluckily Bertha brought her
school slate again down on the cats
head. The blow was a hard one, and
it smashed the slate. The fragments
fell about the cats neck, while the
fraue entirely circled it,
For a moment the cat seemed to be
disconnected. Then it leaped upon Ber-
tina and bore her to the ground. The
Infatuated animal tore at the child's
throat, but heavy muffier and thick
coat collar saved her from serious in
jury.
The attack would have been fatal for
the child if dog owned by woodman
had not at that moment rushed into
view. The dog attacked the wild eat
and in less than two minutes drove il
into the woods. Little Bertha scram-
bled to her feet and ran home. Now
when she goes to school she is always
accompanied by dog.
