FRESH FROM THE KLONDIKE.
F. L. Thompson Reached Home
WedneSday-He Tells the Times
Some Interesting Experiences.

Some Interesting Experiences.
F. L. Thompson surprised his numerous
friends in the place by appearing on the
streets of Bellows Falls Thursday morning
when it was supposed by all except the
members Of his family that he was in the
Klondike. He looks the same, weighs the
same and says he feels the same as when
he left Bellows Falls last January With the
exceptien that his muscle is in little better
trim. Thursday and yesterday he was
kept busy answering que stions, and tor the
most part the same questions over and over
again. He returned home because of his
mothers poor health, and will not return,
at least not until next season. Mr.. Thomp-
son gave representative of the TIMES the
following outline of his journey and some
of the adventures connected Herewith.
"Gus King is now on Charlie River
prospecting, about 900 miles this side of
Dawson City. George Roland is in Daw-
son and for the past month has been hay
ing. He cuts the hay along the river
banks and gets $4O0 ton for it delivered
in Dawson and the price was going up
when l left. Last winter we found hay
$1,000 ton at one point.
"We lett Bellows Falls last January Is
and sailed from Tacoma January %. We
reached Sksguay February and remained
there until February 8, and then took the
White Pass over the mountain. We each
had ton of baggage which we dragged
every foot of the way over the mountain to
Lake Bennett on hand sleds. Down grade
where the going was good we could carry
300 pou- ds at load. We reached Lake
Bennett, which is at the head waters of the
Yukon, April 12, and there whip-sawed
lumber enough to build us a boat to foat
our luggage. In shooting the White
Horse Rapids on the Lewis river, an ac-
count of which has already been given in
the TIMES, we had an exciting experience.
At Five Fork Rapids we sunk shaft but
King and thought it was not worth stop
ping for; Roland, however, thought differ
emily and remained behind for time but
did not succeed in finding gold. King and
l went on until we came to In dian river,
about 40 miles above Dawson City. We
went up this river to Quar- and lett our
boat and walked to Dawson 55 miles, from
Dawson to Dominion 60 miles, then to
Sulphur Creek 90 miles, where we staked
out some claims, and then back to Quartz
40 miles. King started down the river in
the boat and arranged to walk a ways
we lost each other with the result that /
had to walk to the mouth of the river, &c
miles, and all that ad to eat in those 20
miles was two spoonfuls OF beef extract.
"At the mouth of Indian River we
boarded our scow and proceeded to Daw-
son, reaching there about July II. That
has since been our center of operations
We made numerous excursions into the
surrounding territory ard staked out claims
on Indian River and Montana Creek.
1t has been quiet in Dawson this sum-
mer for all the mining is done during the

The first shooting accident of the cotton
tail season in this vicinity occurred near the
Brandonville station at an early hour this
morning. Samuel and Henry Brosius,
brothers, and residing on North Gilbert
street, were the principals in the affair:
They left home early and had just reached
the hunting ground when they spied three
rabbits. Samuel, the oldest of the brothers,
stood on the p. & K. railroad tracks with the
dog at his side The gun was in charge of
Henry Brosius who was emerging from
bushes and in the act of stepping from a
frost covered log when the gun was acci-
dentally discharged A portion of the charge
entered the left foot and leg of Samuel,
while the dog was completely riddled with
shot. Samuel did not realize that he was
shot until he fell to the ground. His brother
hastened to the spot and rendered assistance.
Tie victim was placed on a farmers wagon
and brought to town. DR.. NJ. S. Kister was
called and he said the injury was not serious.

The discovery Of the victim was made by
Edward Ryan and Michael Monaghan. two
lnstallment agents. They carried the IN.
conscious form to the Mulvey home, which
Is near the place where the unfortunate man
was found. Griffin died there. He never
regslned consciousness after being found. so
the circumstances surrounding the death are
shrouded by mystery Some people doubt
that the man was struck by a train, arguing
that in such an event the train would have
been stopped TO give the crew an opportunity
to pick up the victim. On the other hand if.
Is recalled that there was a hail storm at
about the time the man is supposed to have
been struck and it is possible that the victim
was not seen by the engineer or any one
else on the train.
The deceased is survived by his wife and
three adult children.
The funeral will take place on Thursday
morning. Mass will be celebrated at the st.
Canicus chulch, Mahanoy City.

SPAIN HAS NO CHOICE
But TO Yield to the Demands of Ou
Peace Commission

But to Yield to the Demands of Our
Peace Commission.
London, Nov 1.-The Times editorial
~ this morning expresses it's frank sat
isfaction at the decision of the United
States commissioners to take the Phil
ippines. 1t says:
THE arrangement is undoubtedly
the best that could be made both for
the inhabitants and for all intereste
In the trade and progress Of the far
east. Upon this point, as upon others
Spain has no choice but to yield, since
her warmest partisans no longer main
tain that she has either the means or
the wish to renew the war.
THE same irresistible logic of facts
controls the question of the Cuban
debts. The United States can dictate
their own terms. At the same time
we are bound to draw attention to the
serious consequences of the policy upon
which the American delegates have in
sisted"
The editorial then proceeds to back
up the recent contention of it's Paris
correspondent, which argued that Spain
could only meet the Cuban debt by
sacrificing her foreign bondholders.
who, by a strange anomaly, would
thus have to pay for the independence
of Cuba"

On subject new to the stage we find
Charles E. Blaney's latest success, "a Hired
Girl" Not only has he found subject that
admits of funny dialogue to comedy situa-
tions, but the character of the Hired Girl -
as played by Charles F. Mccarthy, is so con-
structed as to admit of his bright and clever
witticisms. and gives him the opportunity of
his life, which he has not been slow in ac-
cepting His singing and dancing is always
compared to Chauncy Olcott's and Andy
Mack's and is one of the features Of the per-
formance. In Blaney's fourth big success
funny story runs for two hours and a half
and sends everybody home vowing they have
seen the funniest farce in years "a Hired
Girl'' will appear at Ferguson's theatre this
evening. Fifty cents in any part of the
first floor, 25 cents for the gallery.
