upon a respectable, hardworking citizen
OF Yakima. The swinder left Mitchell
on the 9Th of June last with two wagon
loads of wool, drawn by elk fine horses,
all the property of J. G. McEachren, of
that place. The trip consumed twelve
days and the return the same length Of
time. Meanwhile McEachren was busy
with his stock on the range and did not
suspect treachery upon the part of Null
hey. The latter arriving at the Dalles,
collected the freight money and straight
way made for the Yakima country with
the six horses, the two wagons, camping
outfit, etc. Arriving here he disposed Of
the whole outfit at the ridiculously low
price of $3.50 cash, TO John Morford, and
then Mukey decamped for parts I'M
known. Morford then took his teams
toward the Sound, but was overtaken at
Easton last Saturday by the owner OF the
teams and his attorney, Fred Parker.

LETTER FROM JUNGST.
Fred Gives the Latest News From Dawson
City-People Leaving and Wages Falling

Fred Gives the Latest News From Daw son
City-PeOple Leaving and Wages Falling
Fred Junst in letter to his brother
David, dated June 25th, writes many
things of interest to Yakans. We give
below the gist.
at has been nearly two years since l
left home. and hardly realize where tn e
time has gone. Have been in Dawson,
but am now planning trip up some of
the creeks which will require several
weeks. Would buy horse to pack pro-
visions in on, but they are still high, rang
ing in price from 5000 to $500. A great
many people are preparing to leave here,
many Of them going to the Nome coun-
try, where understand many rich strikes
have been made. Wages have been 60
ing down. Very few pay doll ar, and
most pay IS and so cents an hour, while
some give from $500 to $3.50 per day and
board. But it is bard on account of the
number of unemployed in the country to
get work even at these wages. Food are
plentiful and quite reasonable. Have
seen a number of Yakimans lately,
among them being K. Henson, from the
Nile, Mr.. Carpenter, Dale Thorp and
EIgin Baxter. All the Yakima boys in
the country are quite well. The Ameri-
cans in Dawson are making big prepare
tons to celebrate the Fourth. / may stay
in town until after the celebration is over.
Peter Norby receives the Yakima HERALD,
which We enjoy very much. No one
knows how much papers from home is
appreciated until they have experienced
two years of lonesomeness in far away
land as We are now doing"

C0UNTERFEITERS CAUGHT.
Have Been Flooding New York With
Silver Dollars.

New York, March 1l.-Six men ac-
cused of making and circulating coun-
terfeit standard silver dollars were ar
raigned today before the United States
commissioner by Chief Willzie of the
secret Service. The prisoners Were Sis

Iiznelo, Italians; Frank Clark, Harry
Garen, alias Big Any Seller, Ameri-
cans.
Fer six or eigS-. months the secret
officers have been looking Tor the MAX
erS of counterfeit silver dollars, which
were such clever limitations that many
of them were received at the clearing
house from banks in this city. Friday
evening Sisto Incognoli was arrested
as he was coming from his brothers
home in East Fifteenth street. He was
searched and sixty counterfeit standard
silver dollars were found in mis- posses
sion. The detectives then raided q
house at First avenue and Forty-first
street and arrested Clark, Garren, Sci
ier and Liznelo. Each of these men
had counterfeit tools in his possession.
Seilen was arrested in his room. He
vas surrounded by a complement of
couaterfeiter's material, having III
counterfeit standard dollars ready for
circulation: twenty plaster of paris
moulds, Z quantity Ct anthony

The collision was between a switch
engine, in charge of Luke Boyse, and

the engines met. The shock threw his

ter of a jewelry store where watches
are received for repairs. A woman who
was evidently in a, hurry made her way
to the place where the man with the
magnifying glass stood. and handed a
little watch to him.
WIN you please tell me what ais
this wateh2" she asked
The watch doctor opened the case
deliberately. peered into the works, and
said: 1t needs cleaning"
My, that seems strange said the
woman; you cleaned it only few
months ago."
Is that 500" asked the man, and he
opened the case once more and made
another examination with the aid of q
miniature microscope. Then he handed
the watch back and said: we cleaned
this watch in December, 1895, and it has
not been in our hands since that time
rs that so? 1 must be mistaken, but
how do you know when it was cleaned
last?"
Inc man explained that it was no
trick of memory, but simply the result
of system. Whenever a watch is
brought to US" he said, Ito be cleaned.
regulated, repaired or fixed up we put
a tag on it which is numbered to cor
respond with a number in our work
book In the book we record the styles
and make of the watch, the owner,
what repairs are to be made and the
amount charged for the work, and
when the workman finishes the job he
puts the same number in microscopic
figures on the edge of the inner case.
A letter or sign also shows what has
been done to the watch. So, you see,
when a watch comes here we look for a
mark of that kind and when we find it
we refer to the book, and there you
are
The woman left the watch with the
man of system, and when she had gone
he said: That happens many times a
day. We have the most trouble with
the people who say, You guaranteed
this watch for a year when you re-
paired it, and here it is out of order
again The glass usually reveals the
fact that the watch was due to break
months and sometimes years ago"
All watchmakers keep records and
mark the watches which are placed
with them for repairs, but no two have
the same system. Some makers mark
the watch with the name of the work
man and a record number after it:
some mark the date and the workmans
initial on the case, and others have
signs in conjunction with these desig-
nations to show just what work has
been done on the timepiece.
This system of marking and recording
watches is of much service to the po-
lice also. and lost and stolen watches
are identified daily by means of the
watchmaker's private marks.

GENERAL OTIS TO BLAME.
Reason Why Volunteers Are Armed
With Inferior Guns.

Washington. March 1.-THE ordnance
officials of the war department. declare
that the criticisms passed upon the de.
partment in some quarters because all
of the troops in the Philippines are not
enuiDped with the Kra,g-Jorgensen
rides are based upon misapprehenslon
of the. facts 1t is not denied that the
Spanish Mauser has a longer range
than the 45-caliber Springfield, even
when the latter is using smokeless
powder. But the military commanding
officers in the Philippines We're gwen
the option of using the Springfield or
the -Jorgensen, deciding in favor
OF the former, at least for the time pc
ing. That is why the sixty thousand
krag-J orgensens are lying at Benlcia
arsenal, subject to the requlsltlon OIL
Major General Otis, and it is not be-
cause the department is either unwlil-
ing or unable to transport them 10 Ma
Mia. All of the regular troops at Ma
Mia and now on the way there are
armed with the magazine rifle. The
volunteers have the Springfield, be-
cause the military commanders in the
PHILIPPINES regard them as the better
weapon when used with snol1eleSs pow
der for the unskiilful handling OF vol
unteers The difference in effective
range IS not really very great, and the
Springfield ~ ball is almost sure TO klti,
where the small Mauser bali only
wounds. Aside from this there is one
great advantage in the Springfield,
namely, its simplicity and strength.
The volunteer soldiers find the mechan-
ism of the modern rifle difficult to care
for and to use, while the Springfield
will stand any amount of rough hand
ling. and II is for this reason more than
any other that has inclined the more
army officers to refrain
from arming the volunteers with q
weapon with which they would not be-
come familiar before the expiration of
their terms of enlistment.

BECKER'S FIENDISH CRIME.
Chicago Butcher Cut His Wife's
Body 10 Pieces.

Chicago, March 1L-By the discovery
Of d portion OF a human body and a
torn scrap Of black dress goods under
the barn floor of august A. Recker's
home at 50II Rockwell street, the police
are satisfied that they have at last
found the key to the mysteries sur
rounding the murder Of Mrs. Becker.
The police now declare that without
doubt the butcher killed his wife in the
barn and disposed OF the remains. after
cutting them up, by burying them or
throwing them in the Chicago river.
The piece Of lung found today is about
the size OF 4 mans hand, and a portion
Of the bronchial tube is attached. The
dress goods have been identified by Mrs.
Title Manthy as 4 portion Of the black
dress which Mrs. Becker wore around
the house, and which had been vafnly
sought for by the police since Becker
confessed to numbering his Wife. The
cloth is cut in eight places. seemingly
as If a sharp knife had been repeatedly
thrust through it.

Washington, March lit was posi-
lively denied in the adiutant generals
Office today that any dispatch had been
received last night from General Otis
regarding a conference with General
Lawton. It is well understood that
General Otis is only waiting the arrival
of the remainder of his reinforcements
to inaugurate an active campaign,
though the department has heard moth
ing from him on this subject.
The war department, according to its
officials, is awaiting with quite as much
interest as the public some definite
news from the Philippines which will
show just how General Otis intends to
utilize General Lawton and his rein
forcements in the campaign against the
natives. 1t has been quite generally
understood, without official confirma-
ton, however, that General Lawton, on
his arrival, would be assigned to active
command of the operations in the field,
leaving General Otis more time for the
administration duties of military gov
ernor IN which position he corresponds
to General Brooke in Cuba The TACT
is that none save very general instruc-
tons have been sent to General OTIS,
and the department ayers that 1t has
hands with any hard and fast orders
The probabilities are that General
Lawton will take a very active part in
the offensive campaign soon TO begin.
His training in Indian fighting has Pc
culiarIy fitted him for his present COM
mand, and General Otis is well ac-
quainted with his capabilities. One OF
Lawton's numerous Indian soubrlquets,
being literally translated, is "The-man-
who gets -up-and fights-in-t the middle
of-the-night."

A GALLANT FRESHMAN.

1T was nearly midnight when left
the fiat of my uptown friend and start
ed home alone. Just as 1 reached the
corner of the street a cable car came
whizzing along. so 1 hailed it and got
aboard Unusd to being out alone so
late at night, L was somewhat relieved
to see that there was only one passen-
ger on the car, an Irishman who sat
near the door. One glance at him
would have convinced the most care
less observed that he had lately looked
upon the wine when it was red, or,
more probably, upon the whisky when
it was brown.
when he saw me, a look of intelH-
gence came into his bloodshot eyes. and
with a flourish that would have done
credit TO a dancing master, he rose to
his feet, took off his hat and said, in a
voice thick with whisky and emotion:
" 'Pleash thake my sheat, lady
Thank you 1 said cOldly, there
are plenty of seats
But 1 inshist, lady, upon giving
you my sheat-'
Il sat down near the door, so as to
be able to make my escape easily if
my travelling companion should prove
troublesome; but he did not annoy me
in any way, and seemed to think that
by giving me his seat he had only done
what gallantry required of him.
Though two long lines of vacant seats,
extending the whole length of the car.
stretched before his eyes, he continued
to hold Unsteadily on to the strap di-
rectly in front of me. a placid smile
occasionally Illuminating his features,
as though he were conscious of having
performed an act Of supreme courtesy.

street to take the ss-town line, he
