Indian Flogxed to Death.

There was much excitement among the
Indians at Sans Bots, Ind. IT., Saturday,
when at dusk John Mays, Choctaw, was
publicly logged to death. The punish
ment inflicted on Mays was for cattle
stealing, and was in accordance with an
old Choctaw law, which provides for the
giving of 100 lashes on the bare back Of
any member of the tribe found guilty Of
the crime of cattle stealing. Mays was
caught in the act Of driving several hun
dred head Of cattle, the property Of an
other Indian, to the railroad station. He
was at once arrested tried and found gull
ty, the sentence being that he be tied to a
stake and logged. If an Indian with
stands the severe punishment melted out
to him in 100 lashes he is given his free
dom, but few have lived through half Of
this punishment. Mays was logged in the
presence of several hundreds Indians. A
number Of Creeks and Cherokees witness
ed the fogging, but no whites were ad-
mitted to the stockade. When the fiftieth
stroke was applied Mays made frantic eff
forts to wrench himself from the post, the
blood fairly pouring from the streaks Of
flesh on his back. AS the SEVENTEEN lash
was given he collapsed and lay limp at
the stake. He was unconscious at the
eightieth stroke, and at the eighty-sixth 1t
was found that he was dead.

MANY MINERS PERISH
TWO HUNDRED DIE ON THE ED.
MONITOR TRAIL.
Starvation, Drowning and Disease
Cut Off klondikers- Some Had Been
Striving for Twenty Months to
Reach Gold Fields.

The steamer Lamade brings news to
Seattle from Alaskan ports telling that
the deaths of miners through hardship and
disease along the Edmonton trail already
foot up over 200 out of the 1000 who
started in over that route. Many of these
got out last year, but it is believed that
many more fatalities will be reported
among those who remained behind. OF
those still in the camps, low estimate
of those lying sick of scurvy and similar
Affections places the number at 400.
Heartrending details were told at
Wrangel by some Of the survivors, them
selves at deaths door, after the terrible
sufferings of year in the interior. Only
the most vigorous have been able to make
their way to the coast, and several hum
dred are still in peril Those who reached
Wrangel are mere skeletons. They were
totally ignorant of the happenings in the
outside world for nearly year before
they reached Glenora and listened open
mouthed to the details of the war with
Spain.
After three or four months on the trail
the prospectors gave up all hope OF reach
ing the Klondike, and thought only OF
saving their lives. Some had lived on de-
cayed horse meat, and others on such
game as they could kill.
They tell terrible tales Of the sufferings
at the scurvy camps at Mud river and
Dease lake, to which places the Hudson
Bay Company and the Northwestern po-
lice are preparing to send assistance.
Among the scores of deaths reported are
those of Arthur NJ. Collins, an old British
Columbia miner, and G. Richter, New
York business man, who shot themselves
in despair. c. 2. Smith of st. Louis and
w. 2. Munson Of Chicago were drowned
trying to cross Mud river just before the
freeze up. p. Nealy, a prospector from
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, was found dead
in his tent on Laird river. A. M. john
son, formerly a farm hand near Chicago,
is one of those who succeeded in reaching

PRISONERS GET AWAY
FOUR MEN ESCAPE FROM GAS.
TIE WILLIAM, N. Y.
They Are Young Men Who We're Serv-
ing Sentences for ATTRACTIONS of Mil
itary Law-Continued Firmness in
Prices the Feature of Trade Situation.

Armed guards from Governors Island
have been searching the New York river
fronts for four military prisoners who
escaped the other night from Castle Will
liam. The missing men are Frank Har-
vey, 80 years Of age, of the Second ar
tillery; Michael J. Mccarthy, 80 years of
age, Of the Eleventh infantry; Fred ST.
mond, % years of age, of the Seventh ar
tillery, and Carl Decker, a years Of age,
OF the Seventh artillery. The men were
imprisoned for infraction Of the military
law, and with the exception Of Mccarthy
would have been released in the year 1900.
McCarthy's term expires in 1901. With
the exception Of Simonds the prisoners
were employed in the kitchen and they
were allowed access to their cells during
the day. 1t is the opinion Of the officers
that some time during these trips they
managed to secrete for themselves file
or saw blade.

FOUNDER OF NEW SECT MOBBED.
Elder Higgins Is Tarred and Feath-
cred by Maine Citizens.


In the hamlet Of Levant, ten miles from
Bangor, Me-, George w. Higgins, an
evangelist, was called from his home at
midnight Monday by crowd of masked
citizens, dragged on his back over a rough
road for quarter of a mile, stripped and
covered with a thick coat of tar and feath-
ers and then ridden ON a rail to a neigh
boring village, two miles away, and left
to his fate. Higgins made his way back
home dressed in his coat of tar and feath-
ers and a pair Of stockings. The trouble
grew out of a new religious sect which
has come into existence there known as
''the Holy Ghost and United States con-
gregation." Higgins succeeded in making
a number Of converts. 1t is the rule that
converts must give up all their earthly
belongings, turning over their money and
property to the leaders of the movement,
and depending upon Providence alone for
everything they need to support life
Prominent citizens ordered Higgins to
leave town, but he did not go, and Monday
nights work was the elimination of their
efforts to stop what they call fool re-
ligion."

The coal production and consumption of
the world during the past fifteen years

KILLS HIS WIFE AND HIMSELF.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Mount
Finds Their Bodies in the Barn.

John T. Mount, former trustee of Find
lay township, Ind, fatally shot his wife
and then turned the weapon on himself,
dying almost instantly. The deed was
committed in a barn a quarter Of a mile
from the family residence, which is four
miles west of Scottsburg. A young son
who went to the barn to feed the stock
found his father dead and his mother un-
conscious with a bullet hole in her right
temple. Faint signs of life were detected
in the latter, but she died before physi-
clans arrived and without regaining con-
seriousness. Mr.. Mount lately resigned as
trustee of Findlay township because of
i'll health and temporary mental derange-
ment, for which he was being treated by
specialist in Louisville.

Shrewd Men Victimize Louisville Ger
man Insurance Bank.
The German Insurance Bank of Louis
vile was victimized out of S., 900 Monday
afternoon by two well-dressed young men.
just before the hour for closing the banks
the assistant cashier Of the German In
surance Bank was rung up by telephone
and asked if he could accommodate the
Citizens National Bank with $4,000 in
currency. On being answered in the af-
firmative the inquiring party said he
would send two young men around to get
the money. Shortly afterward two young
men appeared at the bank with a check
for $4,000, bearing the supposed signature
of the cashier of the Citizens National
Bank. The assistant cashier counted out
the money to the young men. When the
check reached the clearing house it was
discovered to be forgery.

SkAGUAY BANK FAILS.

Closes It's Doors.


Closes It's Doors.
The First Bank of Skaguay closed its
doors May 20 with $4,000 liabilities. AS
sets are said to be $4,000, but many
claim only $4,000 will be realized. G. S.
Mindy, president and manager Of the
bank, has been missing since the day be-
fore the failure. The First Bank of Ska
quay did a rushing business during the
early days. 1t was the first bank IN Alas
ka. and is the first to fall. Its decline
dates from the "Soapy Smith" riots last
summer. A sack of gold which Smiths
gang took from a Klondiker was found in
the bank safe. Smith was killed, and
many of his partners were given long
terms in prison. President Mindy had
trouble clearing his skirts. Since then
the bank has had little credit with Seattle
bankers

BOND ISSUE INVALID.
Famous Sny Island Case Is Settled in
Supreme Court.


The holders of $3.50, 900 worth of bonds
issued by the Sny Island district of Illinois
in 1872 cannot recover their money from
the present owners Of the land, according
to the United States Circuit Court Of APP
peals decision rendered at Milwaukee. The
suit has been in the courts since 1878 and
was considered Of such Importance that
Justice Harlan Of the Supreme bench
went from Washington to sit in the case.
According to the courts ruling the act Of
1871 authorizing the district to issue bonds
was invalid and the numerous transfers
Of the land since that time left the cred
itors with no claim on those who now hold
the property. More than 1000 land own
ers were named as defendants in the ac-
ton and the amount involved was over
100000.
