Throw Up Your Hands, Cried
Riley and Levels a Revolver at
His Captor's Hcad-Instead of

Deputy Marshal Sncok, of Dyea, had a
desperate fight fer life on the Dyea trail
last week with Walter Riley. who had
escaped from the Dyea fail. Shook was
shot through the hand and would have
killed Riley had it not been for the timely
arrival of several men who assisted him in
subduing the bad man.
Riley was being held at Dyea under SEN
tence of six months imprisonment at Sit
ka, when he effected his escape. Deputy
Marshal Shook started in pursuit of the
man and finally located him in a cabin at
Sheep Camp. Riley made no resistance
when arrested and when searched no
weapon was found on him. Shook started
back to Dyea with mrs man. who went
along peaceably enough.
At lonely place on the trail. known as
Finnegan's Point, Riley suddenly wheeled
around and leveled revolver which he
had concealed about his person at the
deputy marshal
Throw up your hands," WIS the order
which followed the gun play. Shook has
a great amount of nerve and Instead of
obeying the order made i grab for the

weapon bu. Shock kept out OF range.
Shook finally got hold of his own revolt

intention of settling the man. Just as he
was about 10 press the trigger he saw
some packers coming to his assistance
and continued the struggle until they ar
riresi without using his gun. They assisted
In the capture and helped Shook. who was
weak from loss OF blood, TO get his man
TO Dyea. Judge Smith bound Riley over

The New Spanish Minister Denies
Reports to the Contrary.

The presentation OF Senor Luis Polo v
Bernabe. the new Spanish minister 10
America. has been postponed until to-
morrow at II o'clock. The Cabinet meet
ing. which is always held OF Friday,
caused the delay.
The new minister called at the State
Department this morning and paid his
respects TO Secretary Sherman. He was
accompanied by Senor Du Bose
Senor Polo chatted about ten minutes
with Secretary Sherman. but both diplO-
mats studiously avoided any reference to
politics. After leaving Secretary Sher-
man, the two Spaniards called upon Sec
ond Assistant Secretary Adee. who was
formerly located in Madrid as Secretary
of the American Legation. Senor Polo
embraced Secretary Adee in warm style
and Sir. Adee returned the greeting in a
like manner
The minister will call at the State De-
partment tomorrow morning and viii be
escorted to the White House by Secretary
Sherman. who will introduce him to
President Mckinley.
Sencr Polo consented to say to a re-
porter for The Times that he could not
talk on the subject of the present criti-
cal relations between Spain and this
country. He said:
Il assure YOU, however, that l come on
no special mission. My credentials will

MOSQUITOES THE KLONDIKE.
1errors That Rival the Traditional
Pests of New Jersey.

. Deer Lodge, Mont, March n.-Henry
Ruhlens. who arrived three weeks ago
over the Dalton trail from Dawson City,
advises all newcomers to the Klondike
| to carry a good supply of remedies for
mosquito bites, He said:
81 have seen mosquitoes of all kinds,
| including the celebrated twin-Screw va
| riety of the New Jersey marshes, but
| for out and out rough and tumble scrap

mosquitoes can win from all comers.
This thought may strike the tender
foot as strange In view OF the stories

spells in Klondike, He forgets that Oft
en- during the very short Summer the
mercury rises to 100 degrees. Under that
temperature and with favorable sur
roundngs of timber and marshland the
mosquito thrives like a green bay tree
'To illustrate one day last Summer
fine, fresh tenderfoot came jogging along
to a corner of Upper Isldorado. where o
dozen of us were working our claims
Twenty rods away there was small in

growth of small timber. The moss be-
meath was heavy and damp. a perfect

big man-eating mosquitoes.

looking for a job, proved an easy mark
for a little fun. My partner and L
'joshed' him for a time, and then | sud-
denly asked him if he had seen any
mosquitoes about.
{" NO. he said; and I am no come-on

well / have got a few eagles to pay
for a nights lodging. said Foot.
- Then. l will bet three ounces against
two of your eagles that you can't light
a match in that piece of brush. over
there, says my partner.
Foot remarked that while he wasn't
exactly expecting to find money. yet he
would take it that way, to teach suck
ers a lesson.
1--WE gave him a box of matches. and
told him that he would need as many
more. He started for the brush and we
watched him. We saw him enter the
brush and start to light a match. The
next second he was running for his life
away from the place. bowling with pain.
A black swarm followed him. The bet
did not look so easy TO Foot but he
had the nerve to make another trial
The second time he did not even start to
light the match. He fell down on the
way, and when he reached us his head
was swollen to the size of a potash
kettle. He fairly cried with pain. and
although we were Obliged to take his
money. we consoled him with the use Of
some lard and ammonia ointment which
We had made for mosquito bites.
Sometimes you will strike n swarm
of mosquitoes on the Dalton trail, or
around the inlets of the lakes by way
OF Dyea. but as rule the prospectOr
will not be bothered. except in small
marShy districts Of the creeks.
The bites are often very poisonous
and many old prospectors wear masks
when penetrating the bits Of thick uu-
derbrush or new trails"

4 Starving Man Found Unconscious
i'm the Street

New York. March 1l.-Several persons
noticed Christopher Weiner lying on the
sidewalk at the corner Of StaEg Street
and Bushwick Avenue, Williamsburg.
last night. and thought he was drunk.
Some small boys of the same mind took
advantage OF the opportunity to tie pla-
cards to his clothing and pelt him with
stones and other missiles.
1t was this that brought Policeman Jo-
seph DolIert. Of the Stagg Street sta
ton to the scene. He spoke to the
unconscious man. and getting no an
swer removed him to the sta tionhouse.
An ambulance surgeon from St. Cathe-
rine's Hospital was summoned. and he
succeeded in restoring the man to con-
sciousness.
For the love of God. give me some
food or drink" gasped the man as he
opened mis- eyes. Brandy was forced
down his throat. and a few minutes later
he recovered sufficiently to say that he
was starving.
BY degrees the mans story was learn
ed. Three months ago he tramped to
Williamsburg in search of work as a
cobbler After a weeks tramping
around in the streets. during which
time he never slept in a bed or ate a
square meal WeiHer was found uncon-

to the hospital in Flatbush.
After a long illness from typhoid fever
and brain fever he was dismissed from
the institution two days ago. and hav-
ing no money or friends he started
again on a weary tramp for work His
last recollection was of being in Broad
way. The distance from there to where
he tainted from exhaustion is about a
mile
When he has sufficiently recovered he
will be arraigned in the Ewing Street
police court, Williamsburg as a va
grant, so that the authorities can send
him somewhere where at least he will
not Starve.
Shortly before Weiner was found The
police of the same station were notified
of another case of destitution. James
Kale. fortyeight years old. of No 10
Johnson Avenue, Williamsburg a shoe
maker. was reported to be sick and in
want. Word was sent to the charities
commissioners office and the man re-
moved. to the Flatbush Hospital. Kale
has no friends or family, and has been
furnished by neighbors with food for
the last two weeks.
