consequence received a visit from one
of Chief Bates men this morning. Miss
Ida Kellett lives in Marlboro. She came
to town Thursday and asked Chief
Bates to help her recover a ring.
She said that she loaned the ring to
Hadigan several days ago, expecting
him to return it. She was afraid he
was not going to do so.
Hadigan has promised to send the
ring back to Miss Kellett. His idea is
that she gave him the ring to wear as
long as he pleased, as a remembrance.

or so this forenoon, the weather was
fine.

by some, and, although they continue to
operate along Main street, they will not
go on scheduled time nor take pas

His Body Brought Home

San Francisco, March III h remains
Of James Cook Kingsley, son of the late
William c.. Kingsley, the famous contrac-
tor, whose most conspicuous work was
the construction of the Brooklyn, bridge,
have arrived here from San Salvador, en-
route to the Kingsley home, in Brooklyn.
Young Kingsley, who was a mining engl-
neer by profession, went to San Salvador
some time s and was successful IN de-
yeloping a promising mine. During a re-
cent visit to the city of San Salvador he
committed suicide by shooting himself at
his hotel. He left a will and instructions
that his body should be sent home. No
cause is known for his act, as he was
apparently in prosperous circumstances
The shipment of the remains from this
CITY was attended to by q prominent legal
firm under instructions from Evarts,
Beaman and Choate of New York, repre-
senting the Kingsley family.

New Army Register

Washington, March 1.-THE new army
register widl he published ir a few days
Some advance copies have been received
at the war department., where 1t has
been looked over with considerable in
terest. This register, while for the rcgu-
lar army entirely, will nave u list of the
general and staff officers appointed dur
ing the Spanish war. together with the
records during the war. An intereStinS
feature of the register is that the volun-
teer service of the regular officers is CIV
en- and there is a jump from 1866 and 1867
to 1898 in that service, a lapse OF more
than thirty years
Another Interesting point is that sew
eral men in the regular army declined VOL
unteer appointments. At the head of the
list of these is Adjutant General COrbln.
The register shows hat on August 13,
1898. he was appointed a major general
of volunteers and declined. MAI. Gen.
John A. Johnston, a%djutant generals de-
partment, declined a commission of lieu
tenant colonel. There are other in
stances, but these are found in a hurried
examination of the register, which is an
extensive volume.

Conflict Between Canadians
and Americans.
SEVERAL MEN ARE KILLED
Trouble Arose Over the Border Line
Near the Porcupine Dis
trio! in Alaska.

New York, March IA special to the
World from Vancouver, B. c., says: Carl
Slu1nmerfelt, a German, who was a pas
senger on board the steamer Tees, which
has arrived here from the Lynn canal,
brought the news that a battle had been
fought between American and Canadian
miners a few miles off the Dalton trail
Four men are reported to have been
killed outright and a number of others
are said to nave been seriously wounded.
When the alien mining law of British
Columbia went in force a few months
ago the miners left .Atlin, a new gold dis
trict, and struck north. They found a
short distance off the Dalton trail, on the
Forcupine river, a district rich in placer
gold. 1t was generally conceded that the
new placers were in American territory
and the miners vowed that no Canadian
should stake a claim. Some Canadian
mounted policemen, however, did stake
claims on the American territory, n
justified this by moving the Canadian
flag from Mount Pleasant on the trail
so as to make the line take in a rich part
Of the district. They were followed by
at least 40 Canadian miners, who all To-
Gated good claims.
A fortnight ago about 100 American
miners held a meeting and decided to
send notice to the Canadians to leave the
country within fou days. The notices
We're sent out, but no heed was paid to
them. Slummerfelt, h left the Por-
.cupine river district two weeks ago, says:
EARLY on the morning of the sixth
day the American miners met and pro-
ceeded to the Canadian camp. 1 don't
believe they intended bloodshed, although
they were fully armed. Before they
could even state the object of their visit,
someone, | don't know from which party,
hred a shot. and then everyone seemed to
be shooting. Several rounds were fired
ana four men, l was told, were killed
outrlght-an American and three Cana
dams. The battle was very brief and
in the Canadians, about so in
lumber. flying across the border. The
then returned to their own
camp. | was informed that the follow
ing Americans were leaders in the battle,
but cannot say for certain: c. G. Lewis
and Charles Leitch of Los Angeles; w. S.
Halves of Minnesota; A. NJ. McConghty
of Chicago and F. Will Borough Of Den
YER. l did not ascertain the names of
the killed. Some Canadians, about ff-
teen miles above the Porcupine, l heard,
had left for the P~orcupine river. The
Americans are determined, and 1 fear
there Will be another conflict. There is
no DOUBT in my mind that the new dis
trlct is in American territory"
SlGmmerfeltS story is unconfirmed,
put word was received here about two
weeks ago that if the Canadians did not
leave the territory there would be trou-

A STREET DUEL
IN ARKANSAS

Hot Springs, Ark, March 16.-A shoot
ing occurred here at $50 D. m. which re-
suited in the death of five men and the
serious Woundlns of two others, one Of
whom is not expected to live. The killed
are:
THOMAS TOLER. chief of police
J. r. HART, city detective.
THOMAS F. GOSLEE, police sergeant.
JOHN WILLIAMS, son of Sheriff
Williams.
LOUIS HINKLE, driver of a brewery
wagon.
Ed. Spears was shot in the neck and
may die. The shooting was the result
of feeling growing out of the mayoralty
contest which was under way here. The
sheriff was a supporter of the regular
democratic candidate, while Toler. Hart
and Goslee were supporters of the oppos-
ing candidate.
Feeling ran high and early in the after
noon shots We're exchanged in front of
the city hall between Sheriff Williams
and his son John on the one side and John
Lee on the other, but no harm was done
Both parties determined to have it out.
TOler, Hart and Goslee together were
walking south on Central avenue at about
half past 5 o'clock when they met Sheriff
Williams and his two sons, John and
Coffey, and Ed. Spears, a deputy sheriff,
in front of Lemp's beer depot. The
quarrel was renewed.
No n can tell who fired the first
shot,, but in a moment there was a gen.
eral fusilade, in which 40 or so shots were
exchanged. When it was over, Toler,
Hart, Goslee and Hinkle, a non-combat-
ant, We're dead, and John Williams NOR
tally wounded. He died about an hour
later. Louis Hinkle attempted to separ-
ate the combatants at the
and was shot in the head and died in
stantly.
The mayor Immediately after the
shooting appointed Judge L. D.. Beld-
ing chief of police, who had a posse
Of deputies sworn in at once. There is
little feeling outside of those engaged
in the shooting affair. Quiet was re-
stored. Coffey Williams resisted ar
rest and further trouble is expected.
The a stated at 8 o'clock that the
whole affair grew out of the intense
feeling over the mayoralty contest. Il
have ordered all the saloons in the city
closed and everything is as quiet as
usual, and there will be no further
trouble"
Sheriff Williams, in an interview at
his home at 10 O'Clock tonight, said there
was an attempt made to assassinate him
this afternoon by a policeman on account
of his friendship for Belding, the populist
for Williams claims he
was not armed, but that as Goslee at
tempted to assassinate him, a friend of
his grabbed the pistol and handed the
