bers of Albert D. Bradley's revolver were
emptied in quick succession into ollie

against Bradley, for which they had is
sued an attachment that was being served
by Deputy Sheriff George H. Rolph, of
Cambridge He was removing Bradley's
goods from the premises when Watkins
and Hubbard came up, and, finding Brad
ley, tried to make an agreement for the
payment of the debt without further le-
gal proceedings. Bradley would agree to
nothing. whereupon Hubbard and Watkins
started for their carriage.
They had taken but few steps. when
Bradley drew his revolver and fired. -Four
of the seven bullets took effect in Wat
kins' back between his shoulders, and two
in the back OF Hubbard. Although there
were number of people standing near,

the rear and entered the swamp an eight
of a mile back of his residence, and has

Action Affecting an American Held In

VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 8.-The papers
in the Everett investigation orders by the
United States Government involving alleged
abduction of an American citizen from
Washington to British Columbia were sent
forward by American Consul Dudley to-
day. Mr.. Dudley and Governor Rogers, of
Washington State, both held an investiga-
tion and their reports will be read to Brit
ish Ambassador Pauncefote and action
taken at once.
Although never expressed in SO many
words, the opinion of Governor Rogers and
Consul Dudley at Vancouver are known to
be that Everett had been unlawfully de-
tanned In Kamloops. B. c., Jail since last
April. and has case of heavy damages
against Canada. On a charge of highway
robbery Canadian sheriff bribed an Amer
ican sheriff to kidnap Everett to the line In
spite Of a writ of habeas corpus duly de-
livered
American Consul Dudley is not only at.
tending closely to big international ques-
tions at British Columbia, but is determined
that little courtesies due to the United
States as nation are properly looked
after. Last night Vancouver and Victoria
cities had a patriotic concert in aid of
widows and orphans of officers killed in the
Transvaal During the concert at Vancou-
yer Consul Dudley sent a suggestion TO the
management that the concert was about to
close and no American national air had
been played. The management did not act
on Consul Dudley's suggestion and next day
Consul Dudley informed the newspapers
that Anglo Saxonism was illustrated better
in the United States. In all the patriotic
concerts in British Columbia not an Ameri-
can air is played. while in the United
States patriotic concerts frequently ended
with Rule Britannia or God Save the
Queen''

DESERTED BY THE GUIDES.
Fears for the Safety of the Heron
Exploring Party.

SEATTLE. Wash, Dec. 3-Apprehen-
sion has been caused by the fact that re-.
turning steamers from Cook Inlet have
brought absolutely no tidings of the miss
ing Heron party of explorers in Alas
ka.
In June last. Lieut.. Joseph S. Heron,
United States Army, led party of twelve
men. including three Indian guides, on an
expedition up the Sushitna River, and
thence by way of the Yetno River to the
headwaters of the Tanana. On the steam
er Dehesnay, Lieutenant Herron's party
was taken TO the upper waters of the Su-
shitna last June. He had orders to pro-
ceed to the Tanana, and thence to the
mouth of that stream and down the Yu-
kin to st. Michaels. When he reached
the divide. his guides deserted him, leav-
ing the little party in an untracked and
unmapped wilderness. 1t is feared that
Lieutenant Heron got into the Kuskowin
Valley by mistake, and came out on Ber-
ing Sea, remote from settlements or trans
portation lines.
