WHITE HORSE RAPIDS.
Three men Tried 10 shoot Them and
Narrowly Escaped Death.

Word just brought down from Alaska
tells OF the narrow escape experienced
by John Stack. o. p. Fry and Villa m
Weiss, OF South Bend. Ind. while at
tempting TO shoot the White Horse rap
ids. The story was told to a Post-Inteia-
sencer reporter yesterday by John Jones.
of Detroit. Mich, who met the three men
at Lake Lindeman. Jones said:
II have just returned TO Seattle from
Lake Lindeman. and while there l met
the Indiana men. who had returned from
the White Horse rapids, which they
tried 10 shoot but failed. They told me
that they constructed an extraordinarily
good boat and thought they would be sue
cessful IN reaching the opposite side OF
the rapids. They had scarcely started
when the boat struck G rock and cap
sized. The boat had not reached the
point where the current was very strong,
and the men were able to reach the
shore. They lost their entire OUTFIT. On
their way back TO Lake Lindeman they
managed 10 exc out an existence through
the charity OF the gold-seekers they met
on the way 10 the Kiondike The three
men are now penniless and are doing
their utmost to reach Seattle. Upon ar-
rival here they can secure money By tela-
graph 10 enable them 20 return home
Jones also STARTED for the klondke,
but he was taken seriously III at Lake
lindeman and was obliged TO return
home.

Navigation has opened on the chain
Of lakes beyond ChiIkoot and White pass
Is. and boats are TOW passing down the
river on their way 10 Dawson. according
10 passengers who arrived here yesterday
morning on TIE steamer City OF Seattle.
The warm weather OF the last two weeks
OF May did a great deal TO take out the
thin ice.
Lake Bennett - now entirely free from
ice. except a few floating foes" said Fred
Bennett, Of Skagway, yesterday to Post
IutesI3gencer reporter. 1.-THE ice Is sull
firm on the upper end OF Lake Lindeman,
but does not impede progress down the
Yukon. Most of the boats were built
either on the lower end Of Lake Linde-
man or on Lake Bennett. Many Of the
builders have been waiting for the break
I'D since last December. Others who have
started are new arrivals who purchased
boats at the lake and bundled their outfits
into them.
"The Northwest mounted police are reg
uiating travel and have a system OF rec
ords that will make IL easy 10 ascertain
the names Of the occupants OF any boats
that may be wrecked further down. They
have eSta blished a station at the lower
end OF Lake Bennett at the entrance OF
the narrow channel between Lake Bennett
ard Lake Tagish., They allow but sew
enty-five boats to pass through each day.
This is to prevent crowding in the mar
row goFges between the shore Ice, and
will probably prevent many accidents.
AT Cariboo crossing the mounted police
have another station, where every boat
that goes down the river Is numbered.
The number is painted on the boats side
in big letters. The occupants are re-
qufred to give their full names and their
former residence. This gives the police
a record from which accurate information
can be obtained in case of accident. The
kiondikers realize the Importance OF tbs
step and submit gracefully TO the regula-
lions.
THE las. adviees from Cariboo cross
ing are under the date OF May 20. A
letter received ar Skagway under that
date said that nearly sou boats had passed
through. low estimate of the number
In each boat is four persons. According
