D1seUsTED WITH ALASKA.
". h. White Writes From Seattle
Wash, on His Way to San Fran
cisco-speaks Of Alexander
Jester Jail Breaking.

b. &. Oauthorn, Of this city, has Just
received a letter from W. II. (Kern)
White, who went to Alaska last spring
a year ago prospecting for gold. When
Mr.. White wrote the letter he was In
Seattle on his return from Alaska and
said he intended going to San Fran
cisco.
IL will be remembered that "KernD
White was Sheriff OF Audrain county
when Alexander Jester escaped from
jail In this city, nearly % years ago,
when the county prison was in the
rear Of where Ferris & Cauthorn's
business houee now stands. Mr.. White
tells Mr.. oauthorn that he remembers
the escape Of Jester quite distinctly
and recalls his personal appearance
clearly-"T would knowJester's hide ia
a tannery," the ex-sheriff states. Mr..
White further says that when the
sheriff Of Monroe county brought the
prisoner to Mexico for safe-keeping
he told the Paris officer that he might
IS well put Jester In q log smoke
house &c the Jail, as 1t would not hold
him over night, which proved to be
true. Jester escaped and was not
heard from until his rearrest, nearly
2s years later.
Mr.. White tells Mr.. Cauthorn that
the Alaska gold boom is the biggest
humbug Of the age. He says there is
not the one hundredth part Of the
gold taken ont Of the mines of that
country as is represented.
When the excitement became rife
over the alleged new gold discovery
at Cape Nome Mr.. White went there,
too, but 1t also proved to be a fraud.
PROJECTORS were greatly outraged
that the reports of fabulous wealth at
this point we're caused to be circulated
to allure them on, and Mr.. White says
he saw $40 an ounce offered In cash
for any gold that could be produced
and there was none forthcoming.
Mr.. White states that he has recent
ly recovered from a severe attack of
diarrhoa, which means death to nine
out Of ten in that country, and Is now
enjoying tolerably good health. He
does not say when he will return
home.

KILLED AT
James Callahan, of Benton City, Fell
Under a Train and Died Four
Hours Later-He Was Bur-
led In Mexico.

About 8 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
James Callahan, Of Benton City, fell
from q eieight train at Martinsburg
and received injuries from which he
died four hours later. he was a son
OF John Callahan, Of 2 miles south Of
Benton City, and formerly OF Mexico.
As far as a be learned young Cal-
lahan, who was Is years old, was
working his way home from Mont
gomery City and In attempting to
climb from a cattle car to a fat coal
q he lost bis balance and fell be-
tween the rails. His legs were mashed
almost off between the knee and ankle
and they weFs later a~mputated, but
the shock Of the accident and loss of
blood so weakened the young man
that he could not rally.
THE FACTS OF THE ACCIDENT.
J. NJ. Nickles, OF this city, who was
a passenger on the train, which was
g west bound Wabash local In charge
of Charles CLARK, tells that directly
after pulling out Of MartinHburg and
when not over 100 yards from the de-
pot, he noticed . man following the
train and waving his hands. Mr..
Nickles rose and walked to the rear
door Of the caboose. About that time
he noticed that there was a man lying
between the tracks and that the train,
which was travelling very slowly, had
passed over the body. Conductor
CLARK was notified and the train was
stopped. Before those In the oaboose
could reach the injured boy he had,
In his agony, rolled from the track.
Sam Morris, who was in the ca
ooose, was about the first to reach
the boy and 1t was he who, after many
questions, learned the name and home
of the young man, who became un-
conscious before being taken on a
stretcher to the hotel, where he after
ward died without being able to tell
how the accident occurred.
James Matthews, q young man of
Mexico and who had been travelling
with Callahan, told a LEDGER reporter
this morning that he and the dead
boy had started to beat their way to
st. Charles on Saturday night. Ar
irving at Gilmore, 30 miles this side OF
st. Charles, the boys started back
home. They rode back as far as
Montgomery City on q passenger
train; from that place they rode on
the local.
Matthews says that Callahan was
about s ATS ahead OF the caboose and
that he al nearly back to the rear
end when the accident occurred; he
did not see Callahan when he fell.
The remains Of the unfortunate
young man YER brought to Mexico
on the 10:4s train Wednesday and In
TERED In the Mexico cemetery.
Deceased was q nephew Of Jerry
and Edward Dermody, Of this city.
The coroner viewed the remains
and went to Martinsburg on the I
o'clock train 10 hold an inquest.
