GARFlELD'S STRUGGLES.

How He Burned the Midnight Oil When at
Williams College.
Garfield was said to be only one of
very few who kept up their literary
studies while in Washington. He never
did so well but it seemed he could east
ly do better. He always gave the i'm
preston that he had much more power
than he used. AS Trevelyan said of his
parliamentary hero, Garfield succeeded
because all the world could not have
kept him in the background, and be-
cause, once in front, he played his part
with an intrepidity and commanding
ease that were but the outward symp-
toms of the immense reserve of energy
ON which it was in his power to draw.
"When was a freshman in Will
liams college," said Garfield, 81 looked

Lashing q Culprit Down the Trail In the
Chiikoot Pass.
Mr.. II. d. Annable of Montreal has
received letter containing the follow
ing description of the way in which
justice Is melted out in the Chilkoot pass
region:
"This is bad country for thief.
There were two chaps recently tried
here for stealing an outfit from a man
ON top of the summit. They were caught
in the act and brought back to Sleeps
Head and tried and sentenced to be
hanged. The younger of the two, by the
name of Wellington, put gun to his
fellow, named Hanson, was tied to a
tree, all his clothing taken off and then
dashed with two big ropes fastened to a
stick. The man who inflicted the pun
ishment was supposed to be the ablest
man in the camp. l was close to the
affair-so close, in fact, that had to
hold my face back to keep clear of the
ropes while he was swinging them. 1t
was hard looking sight. After they
had done this they painted him with
the words, 'Thief-Pass Him Along =
and then started him down the trail.
''He had been examined by doctor
before the punishment, and they whip
ped him until the doctor signaled for
them to stop. In almost every place the
ropes struck him they drew blood.
When man is caught stealing up here
they call miners meeting and what.

from the fine down of white eagles.

single blanket. The work is enormous,
and the blankets which have been bought
from the Indians for song have been

ACCIDENT UNAVOIDABLE.
So Declared the Jury Sworn to Ascer.
tain the Cause OF the Death
OF Owen Davis.

4 verdict by the Coroncrs jury in
the Green Ridge Iron works fatality,
hy which owen Davis lost his life, was
reached by the corOner's jury late yes
terday afternoon. 1t fails to fix any
blame or responsibility for the acci-
dent. The verdict was as follows:
We find that the suspicious crcum-
stances surrounding the violent death Of
owen Davis, who was killed by flying
debris at the Green Ridge Iron works on
March %. lS1S, are such as would render
an inquest necessary, and, are to wit:
That the fly wheel which burst and
caused the debris was in use for twenty
years. that allegations were made by
reliable persons that the wheel was
cracked in one of the dowellS, the sond-
ity of which was material to the safety
of the wheel and the men working near
it: that il was alleged that the wheel
was not properly secured to the shaft
that the engine was being run at a
greater speed than it could normally at
tain, and that this increased speed was
attained by weighting the governor balls,
etc, etc.
After hearing voluminous testimony
from thrty-two witnesses and viewing
the scene of the accident and wreck we
find that the prepOnderence Of the tes-
timony was against the theory of Grim
mai negligence, and we therefore find
That the said owen Davis came to his
death by being struck by flying debris,
caused by the bursting of fly wheel in
said works, and We further find that the
bursting of the wheel was an accident,
unforeseen and unavoidable.
The jury visited the mill and made
a careful and complete examination Of
the scene of the disaster at noon yes
terday. Particular attention was
given to the breaks in the big fly
wheel and in the counter shafting and
to the engine and other machinery.
The search was made to determine
If possible the primary cause Of the
bursting of the fly wheel concerning
which much conflicting testimony was
heard.
At O'Clock the jury met in Coroner
Longstreets office and prepared the
verdict, An unusual interest was at
taChed to the case from the fact that
the family of young Davis alleged
criminal negligence on the part of the
mill people. The testimony of nearly
thirty witnesses was heard.
The jury were A. f. Norhis. ]. D..
