to see him, as 1t was several days be-
fore we knew anything about it, From
what / can learn they think he is a
| man about 40 years of age, and think
he was the purser of one of the steam
boats who committed suicide a short
way above there. I wrote to Billy
since l have been down here, and never
received an answer, but did not think
anything of that, as it is a very hard
matter to get mail in here l knew
when left Dawson that he was going
up the river to raft some logs down
to build a cabin, and he may have been
drowned on that trip. You see they
have his name spelled wrong, but the
initials are his all right, and the 'Vir-
gina City, Mont seems to leave no
doubt that it is he, as knute says he
had his name in the back of his watch
and that it was present from some
of his relatives. ] have written to Lee
Ward and Gus Steffens in Dawson to
find out if they know anything about
him, and will also write to the record
er at Charley river district, in whose
possession the watch and money are.
He was buried on the east side of the
Yukon opposite the mouth of Charley
river" Mr.. Gilbert also says that he
does not think much of the Klondike
He is interested in several claims and
says he hopes to do something with
them next summer. He and Knute
Ellingston, who is also an old Virginia
boy, are Jointly interested in these
properties.
Sheriff James Summers received a
dispatch from Norris last Tuesday aft
ernoon stating that James Gaylord
resident of that place, had become vio-
lently insane and had for the past three
or four days been making himself very
disagreeable with everybody he came
in contact with. Sheriff Summers hap
pened to be absent from the county at
the time the dispatch was received.
Under Sheriff Charles Hill appointed
Joseph l. Haines and Frank Dow as
special deputies, who left at once for
Norris for the purpose of capturing the
bad man. Arriving there, they found
Gaylord armed with a razor and
threatening everybody who came near
him. After some time the officers man
aged to disarm Gaylord and arrived
home with him Wednesday evening.
Chairman Carney of the board of coun-
ty commissioners was Immediately in
formed of the unfortunate mans con-
diton, and he arrived in town from
Waterloo the following morning An
insanity commission consisting of
Chairman Carney, Drs. L. A. Brooke
and Charles A. McNulty met Friday
morning and adjudged Gaylord insane,
and that afternoon he was sent to the
insane asylum at Warm Springs. 1t
seems that Gaylord will not be lost
at the asylum, as he has been an in
mate of that institution once before.
