History of the Don .ev.


The best donkeys come from Arabia.
They have clean, smooth coats, hold
their heads high and are used only for
riding purposes. Many are sent to Per-
sia where they sell for high sums. They
are well looked after and their harness
ings are of the richest.
In the far east the donkey for cen.
turies has received the appreciation of
all classes. A fine Arab breed, used
solely for the saddle, exists In Syria
and smaller kind is devoted to the
use of the women when they wish to
ride abroad.
AS one goes farther east the doukeys
diminish In stature and in India the
tiny animal called a donkey is used
only by the people of the lower caste.
Europe, Malta and Spain supply the
finest donkeys, and In parts of Italy
and France good specimens may be Sc
cured.
Although the donkey was known in
England In the reign of the earlier Sax
ons 1t was not common, for it became
extinct till the reign of Elizabeth. The
wild origin Of the donkey is supposed
to have been the koulan or onager,
which exists in herds in Persia and
similar lands. The skin is used for
making shagreen leather. The donkey
is coming into general favor abroad,
and even America may soon become
accustomed to seeing children driving
donkey carts or invalids taking much
needed airing drawn by the patient lit
tie animals, which make good pets and
are so much less expensive than pony.

DEATH ON EDMONTON TRAIL
Terrible Story Of Privatior
and Disease.
FORCED TO LIVE ON DOG MEAT
NJ. Flemii &, who Started From Cal
gary 20 Dawson, Returns Home tO
Die-Many Die OF the Cold.

Seattle, July l2.-M. Fleming, Of
Philadelphia, who arrived here tonight
from Fort Wrangel. Alaska, on the
steamer Rosalie, is mute witness OF
the suffering OF prospectors who rushed
to the Yukon gold fields over the Ed.
monton route. Mr.. Fleming presents
a sad sight, being badly bloated with
dropsy. He has gone through great
physical and mental suffering. Tha
successive attacks of fever, scurvy,
pneumonia and dropsy have left him
in critical condition, both physically
and mentally. The physical pain he
endures constantly is so severe that fol
the past l3 days he has scarcely slept.
After all his sufferigs in the north he
has returned to civilization to die. AT
late hour tonight he was unable to
leave the steamer.
His mental condition is such that he
cannot tell connected and succinct
story OF his experiences. From the
rambling sentences it is learned that in
February, 1898, he started for Dawson
from Calgary with party Of IA, which
was made up at Calgary. The party
had so horses, and it was captained by
John Mason, an old Californian. whom
Fleming formerly knew in Colorado.
Mason was drowned In the Nelson river.
A Bulgarian named Valley was aeoi-
dentally shot and killed by French
man at He'll Gate, on the LIVER Lizard
river. Three others of the party died
at Dease lake of sourvy. Fleming
could not recall their names, neither
could he give the names of any mem
bers Of the party. The surviving mem-
bers cut trail for 500 miles through
the underbrush. For four months they
lived on short rations. Nearly all
their horses died, and much of their
equipment was lost.
Captain Mason was drowned about
August A, while trying to take some
horses across the river in a scow.
Fleming says from the moment they
started out on tile trail their sufferings
began. They opened trail and
bridged streams and swamps for 600
miles. In The latter part of October
they lost their outfits, while floating
down Lizard river in boat. They pro-
cured another boat that was also
wrecked. For 36 hours they stood in
the snow on the bank of the river, un-
able to go either way on account OF
high banks. The thermometer stood
at 45 degrees below zero. The party
was badly frozen. When they reached
Crow river they found themselves out
of provisions again. Six of them went
seven days with only one cup of tea
between them. They killed and ate
their last dog. When they reached
Dease lake, Fleming became so i'll that
he determined to return. Dropsy had
set in and his limbs were useless. His
companions procured horse for him.
and with great difficulty lie rode so
miles to Telegraph creek. From there
he was taken to Wrangel in a canoe.
Fleming says he does not know what
will become OF the rest of the party.
Some OF them, he thinks, will come
back at once, as they can never get
through to Dawson. He says he often
passed men dragging sick men on sleds
toward civilization. The next steamer
from Wrangel, he thinks. will bring a
number of sick.
