OUTLAWRY IN ALASKA.

Many q Miner Has Lost His Life and
Gold at the Hands Of Desperadoes.
Murder and robbery on a wholesale
scale mark the mountain trails of
Alaska. The paths which lead to and
from the country of the Klondike are
beset with inhuman ghouls who kill
and steal with impunity. There is
scarcely a mile of the overland road
on which gold laden miners return
from the new Eldorado that does not
bear the mark of some fendish crime
of outlawry, and the evil has assumed
such terrifying proportions that the
strong arm of the federal military
department has been invoked to sup
press it. ::
This at least is the sensational story
brought to Chicago by men who have
lately come back from Dawson City,
and they tell it with an air of earnest,
ness which forces conviction upon. the
listener. In it may be found, an ex-
planation of the action of the govern
ment in hurriedly dispatching a dom-
paratively large detachment of troops
to Alaska at a time when the food sup
plies in store there are. admittedly
scarce, and the addition Of even few
more hungry men makes the situation
still more serious from the standpoint
of famine. H.. b
Conservative men assert that>at least
s2,oo0,o 900 worth of gold dust and food
supplies have been stolen in the Klon-
dixie country during the last 1a,months,
most of it inside the last half year,
as the opportunities for plumber of this
kind have increased with the desire of
miners who had made fortune to get
back to the states and enjoy it.--Chi-

SUBSTITUTES FOR BULLETS.
Nuggets Of Gold and Wcotlen slugs Used
BY Hunters In Emergencies.

Nusgets Of Gold and Wcotlen slugs Used
By Hunters In Emergencies.
When hunter in the old days lost
all his bullets or hadn't any to shoot
with. he usually devised substitutes that
on occasion served the purpose we'll
All sorts Of things have been fired at
game or Indians, as the case might be.
Z Old Hank Ellison, living up insJeferson
county,N. =, told to his dying day how
he was cooped up by Indians out west
once, with a little lead. lots Of powder,
belt full Of gold. nuggets, a fine rifle
and bullet mold. It was on the top of
a knoll where. his log cabin had been
built, and he had a barrel of water and
a lot of wood for emergencies. The In
5dians kept just out of range, dashing
in once in awhile to draw his fire. He
soon used his bullets up, and then used
the gold. He fired nearly half his for
tune at the redskins before they left
him.
Many a hunter has used pebble in
the hope of getting a close deadly shot.
Jackknives and ramrods have. served
their time as missiles. Forest and
Stream tells about hunter who had
only a single bullet, but lots of powder.
The bullet shot the horn of a big buck
off, and the buck charged the man, who
took to a tree top. He spent half an
hour, whittling off two-inch lengths Of
branches and putting them into his
rifle. Then he rammed them down on
the powder and fired at the maddened
deer. His partner came along after
awhile with belt full of bullets, and,
making run for the tree, gave bull
let to the shooter, who quickly killed
the deer.

When the president of the United States

more patriotic than the women of this
country? Their fathers. husbands, sons.
brothers and sweethearts are all called
from the home circle to uphold. what Is

branch was looked upon as a TIN soldier"

qlseis and compliments.
But how different now. The ball room
is about to be transferred into the bat
tefeld. Plaudits of admirers will be
changed to the battle cry and the bravos
of the dress parade will be echoed by the
cries OF the dying and the wounded.
In order TO testify their devotion to the
boys who have gone to the front Misses
Edna and Anna Peters, who have a brother
in the Houston cavalry company Com
pany b, have undertaken the task Of
raising a fund for ste purchase of a bat
