The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-09-03


The forced expression of cheerful
ness went out of Harry's face as his
brother left the hut, and he fell back
exhausted upon the bed.
"Poor Tom, poor Toni" he muir.
INJURED. ITO die like rat in trap!
Oh, God! will the Martha never come Z
oh, IL could but do something!" He
half rose from the couch and gazed
around the little hut.
Two days, only two days more,'
he groaned, "and then-and then-oh
will aid never comet" He closed his
eyes and sank back upon his bed.
water enough for both for two
days. Tom said" he repeated to him
self; "only two days for both, but
were there but one to drink, four OF
maybe five days with care. The Mar
tina or some other vessel will surely
be here in that time. But in two days
the owners will hardly have had time
to learn of her loss and send out an.
other schooner.
TON, dear old Tom"-and his blue
eyes filled with tears-"you shall be
saved, anyway"
His eyes wandered around the hut
again, rs if in search of something,
and fixed upon a cupboard on the wall
They say 1t Is an easy DEATH" he
murmpred-"that stuff we took from
Malay Tom"
BY superhuman0e effort he arose,
staggered to the cupboard, and took a
small tin can from one of the shelves. 1t
was filed with sticky green sub
stance.
"Ten grains should do il" he decided
though Malay Tom used to take as
much as that to make him drunk"
He put some Of the stuff on the blade
of his knife, looked at it eagerly for
a moment, and then swallowed it.
Then he staggered back again to the
bed, and fell limp across the mattress.
For n moment he lay there without
moving; then sharp report reused
him and he raised his head.
1t was then that Toms pistol broke
the silence. Harry started, raised his
head, and tried to get up. But the
drug was acting, and he could not rise.
II wonder what Tom is shooting at"
he said half aloud; dear old Tom, he'll
be sorry at first, but then, he'll be
saved-to go homeland take care of
mother" ..-
He felt happy, strangely happy, and
he began to laugh.
He thought he could see the old home
again. He could hear the birds sing
ing in the apple tree before his bed
room window; there seemed to be so
many-more than ever before. He wan
dered down by the little brook that
ran through the meadow.
How sweet the water sounded as ii
rippled over the pebbles; and the long
grass, how tempting; it was so cool
and shady, that he longed to lie in ii
forever.
But he could not, he must not. Tom
was calling from down in the orchard
Tcalling to him--was waiting for him
'"Yes, Tom, yes; Pm coming-com.
ing" he called.
He sprang from the bed and com.
menced TO run. He was speeding
through the meadow; then he climbed
the high fence that separated it from
the orchard. He was running as fast
as he could, but Tom kept calling and
his mother, too. Their voices were
growing fainter, fainter, as though
they were running away from him.
Even then the Martha had sighted
the little guano island and was making
for the cove of anchorage.
They found the bodies of the two
brothers side by side on the sand, and
in the hut water enough for both for

PARTY FROM CONNECTICUT
SIXTY OF THEM BAND TOGETHER.

The biggest KIOndike party which
. has yet passed through st. Paul en-
route for the gold fields was that which
reached the town on an Omaha special
shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon from Stamford, Conn, and
was taken West on the Northern Pa
cifiC coast train for Seattle.
The party occupied two tourist coach
es and numbered about sixty persons.
most Of them residents of the quiet lit
tie Connecticut borough. Being delay
ed in the East by bad snow storms,
they missed the st. Paul connection at
Chicago, and were given two engines
by the Chicago & Northwestern peo-
pie and sent through Special" in the
face Of a binding snow storm.
When the party left Stamford Mon
day night, nearly 1000 people gathered
at the station to bid them goodbye.
. The party includes thirty-four mem
bers Of the Alaska Mining and Trad
ing association, which is made up Of
citizens of Stamford NorwaIk and
Port Chester, thirteen from South
Manchester, four from New Haven
and others from various sections Of the
state.
The entire party was banqueted be-
fore making their start for gold and
glory. At the head of the party Is
Daniel T. Murphy, a Stamford man,
who has had much experience in Alas
ka, having put in some time mining at
Cooks Inlet and at other points.
The party is thoroughly equipped
with clothing, arms, etc, but will Sc
cure their provisions and hardware at
Seattle, where they VIII remain until
Feb. 4. At that date the schooner
Moonlight, which they lately purchas-
ed viii hoist sail, and the journey be
made to Orca, on the Alaska coast. The
party is bound for the Copper river
country and will prospect along the
banks of the river. In the list Is their
own captain, E. J. Noyes, who says
the sail will require at the most twelve
days from the sound.
Shipped to Seattle by freight Is a
queer looking steam sled, by means of
which the gold seekers in the party
hope to carry portion at least of
their stuff over the country. 1t was
built in Norwalk, Conn, and excited
much comment in the Nutmeg State.
In the equipment are included also
electric appliances for digging and test
ing the gold.

amounts were wagered upon each battle.
On account of threatened prosecution by the
Illinois Humane society. which offered q re-
ward for information, the battles were fought
at Antioch, about forty miles from the city

shown by each side, of which fifteen fell In.

Casey won the first four without much
trouble and the score was to l after the
sixth. Mackin had fought three Japs sent
