BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Feast Took Place 100 Miles Fro In

The Feast Took Place 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost $2O,OOO.
Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for $4,000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and received nearly
sc. 900 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in a sort Of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out Of the reach
Of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for
mining section. Having found one, he
located claim and proceeded to test
it. After he had dug out a few thou
sand dollars worth Of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
to his muttons." -. .-se---aa-
His stay had been SO prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
| holding a wake over the sheep, and,
imagining Dawson to be only few
miles away, had started for that city
to enjoy some of the pleasures met
! ropolitan city can afford. 1t proved to-
bc about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
! absence was more extended than they
| had inended, and when Collins reached
| the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
| bleaching skeletons.
! The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
! hawks and other birds of prey which
;nhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton "Where the carcass is,
/ there will the eagles be gathered" is
proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that invitations had been sent
out and general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region. from
Bchring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
| of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
1 but when he drives in his next band of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
so large percentage of them.-Port-

THE TRIAL AT LATTlMER.


( g. Fl s- :
Evidence as to Brutal Threat by a
Deputy Stricken Out.
s 5Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 1.-The first
week of the trial of Sheriff Martin and
his deputies ended Saturday with the
case we'll under way, and the jury hav-
ing lot of evidence to think about
over Sunday. There was the usual
crowd at the morning session.
The first witness, Michael Nichcl-
son, described the condition of some of
the wounded on the road near Latti
mer. One man died as he watched him;
| five others whom he saw were badly
| wounded.
The witness came upon dying
striker, and was joined by a,man named
Costello. While they were trying to aid
the man, deputy named Alfred Hess
came up, and Costello, with great in
dignation, said it was scandalous
piece of work the deputies had done,
whereupon Hess replied: "You shut up,
or I'll treat you the same way"
| The defense objected to this reference
to Hess, and the evidence was stricken
out.
The next witness, one of the most i'm
| portant of those to be heard on behalf
of the commonwealth, was John Egler,
secretary of the Harwood union of
the United Ironworkers. He told how,
on the night before the shooting, a
meeting had been held at HARDWOOD, and
the men gathered there decided to march
over. to Lattimerthat day to, show them
selves to the men at that place at the
oEf nnyo
American flag and nailed it to a long
pole he had cut. They agreed, he said,
to march unarmed, and to behave peace
ably Speaking of the meeting with the
| sheriff and deputies at West Hazleton,
witness said: "They rushed at us and
pointed their guns in, our faces and, told
us to stop. + explained to the sheriff
that we were just going to show our
| selves to the! Lak timer men, and were
going to do no harm to anybody. The
sheriff said:. IF YOU get.+to Lattimer,
you must kill me- Burgess Jones, of
| West Hazleton, said we could march
through the streets, and so>the sheriff
and deputies went away and We
marched on to, Lattimer."
The Witness said that at Lattimer he
again told the sheriff they were not
| armed and would behave themselves.
The sheriff pulled couple of men ont
| of the: tanks and drew his.revolver, and
witness saw him trying to shoot one of
che strikers. The revolver did not ex.
plode, however, and then crowd
formed around the sheriff. At this time
there was a shot, and then three or four
shots, and att last 'volley.' Witness
fell down between two men, but did
not think the men; were shooting ball
cartridges until he saw one of the men
bleeding. Then he got: up and ran
with the rest and the bullets kept whiz.

wounded men, but did not go near the
deputies as he was afraid. -* q
On cross-examinatio ton Egler admitted
that when the sheriff told them to dis
perse he said: eve amt going to; we
are going to Lattimer."
After the cross-examination of Egler
the court adjourned.

ARE: YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements That Will Be
Found Indispensable.

r. Found Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE. is bread Or biscuit. And to rnakethe
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes Of
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
lie be persuaded by some outftter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will
find solid caked mass or lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such a mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economic with your stomach. For use
in such climate, and under the trying
/ and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. It
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called ''the
father of Alaska," after an experience
of years upon the trail. in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
1--WE find in Alaska that the Importance
of proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestim mated. A miner with a
can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried all
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. It
is stronger, and carries further, but,
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region
It is for the same reasons that the U
S. Government in its relief expeditions
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller
have carried the Royal Baking Powde,
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either or
board ship or in damp climates, and ii
the most nightly concentrated and eff
fcient of leavening agents. Hence it il
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit
It can be had of any of the trading com
panies in Alaska, but should the mine
: procure his supplies before leaving, h
should resist every attempt Of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of tn
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of grea
disappointment and trouble.

Savannah. Ga, Feb. 7.-Sasannah's
epidemic of fire continues. Sunday
night damage to the extent of $125, 900
was caused by a conflagration which
started in a hay warehouse on the
wharf at the foot Of Jefferson street.
The fire communicated itself to several
brick buildings on Bay street and three
Of them were entirely gntted. The
heaviest loss was that sustained by
Charles "A. Conklin & Co., of Atlanta,

ton but that the fire was of incendiary
origin. There have been dozen fires
here within the last two weeks and
there is considerable talk Of firebugs.
Before the fire, which broke out in
the hay warehouse, had been brought
under control, flames burst ont in the
magnificent cathedral of St. John the

was soon in ruins. The fire, started
in the organ loft and spread rapidly
through the church. Everything was
removed from the residences in the vi
cirity and it was only after struggle
that they were saved. At midnight the
destruction Of the cathedral was COM
