Claims to Be $4,000, 900 In Debt
Incompetent Agents the Cause.

Chicago, Aug. ia special to the
Alexander Mcdonald, king of the Klon-
dixie, has failed. His liabilities are esti-
mated at s6,0OO,O0O. His assets are of
uncertain value.
After knowing for two years what it
is to be a millionaire many times over,
he has shouldered his pick and, without
complaining, has started again as a
poor miner, leaving his bride in Daw-
son with a score of creditors. for whose
benefit all his interests, both mining
and trading. have been assigned.
In his formal declaration of inSolv-
ency, filed at Dawson July %, McDon-
aid stated his liabilities to be approx
imately $4,000, 900, while there is no way
of fully computing his assets, and his
investments are of largely problemati-
cal value. As they will have to be sac
rificed, Mcdonald himself says there
will not be enough to go around, al
though he believes their ultimate value
will prove $40, 000. 900 at least. He is not
at all disheartened by his sudden change
of fortune. Indeed, he appears re-
lieved.
It's too much worry" he declares.

Mcdonald was one of the first, as
well as one of the most fortunate of the
Klondike pioneers. His bride, an Eng
lish girl, almost twenty years his ju-
nior, looks at the situation with philo-
sophical fortitude. She says she is quite
satisfied as long as he keeps his health
and courage.
When Mcdonald married Margaret
Chisholm, in London, Feb. last, his
wealth was variously estimated at from
$40, 100000 to five times that sum. Nc
Donald passed through Tacoma last
October en- route from Dawson to Lon
don, and it was stated then in various
dispatches that he carried with him for
expense money fully 100000. 1t was
also related by the press that four
years ago he passed through Tacoma
practically penniless, headed for the
Klondike with the avowed purpose Of
pulling out his stake"
When Mcdonald went to England a
few months ago to organize syndicate
to control the transportation and provi-
sion business of the far north, he left
his affairs in the hands of incompetent
agents. On his return creditors made
demands which he could got meet. Be-

Smart Little Spring Coats.

As regards the newest coats for early
spring, they are very short indeed as to
the %basques, many reaching only an
inch or two below the level of'the waist,
Honors are almost equally divided be
tween the tight fitting shapes and those
that have loose sack backs, with per-
haps Il little tendency toward the favor
ing of the latter. That these little coats
are very smart indeed cannot be denied,
especially when they are made in pale
shades of tan and biscuit colored cloth,
lined with ivory white satin and orna-
mented with an elaborate braiding in
bright silk of two shades, to harmonize
with the color.
Other very neat little coats, made in
darker cloth, are arranged in a tight
fitting shape, with short scalloped
basques and long revers of white MORE
velours. These coats are covered entire
ly, on the sleeves as well as on the back
and front Of the jacket, with a fine
stitching Of white silk cord. This work
is so fine in effect that at a little dis
lance it has all the appearance Of an
elaborate design Of braiding.

Bloody Encounter Between
Theater Employees
FOR A W0MAN'S FAVOR
Clutch" Clark Was Badly Slashed
By Joseph ~Sherman--POlice
Court Matters.

Joseph Sherman and Dutch Clark,
two walters, employed at the Montana
concert hall, fought a duel with pocket
knives yesterday afternoon because the
favor of Belle Temple, a variety actress
was waning as far as one of the men is
concerned, and was growing for the
other. The fight occurred in front of the
theater, and when Officers Murphy and
Sullivan appeared the men were the CEN
ter of an excited crowd and We're slashing
away at each other with a vigor and
effect that threatened the determination
of some one. The cOmbatants were ar
rested and marched off to jail, where their
wounds were dressed. Sherman had re-
ceived an ugly scalp wound, while Clark s
face had been cut open in a number Of
places. His lower lip was cut in two, and
in both cheeks gaping wounds testified to
the strength and skill with which his
adversary had welded his weapon. The
city physician was called in and the in
juries of the belligerents attended to. In
police court this morning both men plead
ed not guilty, and :hair trouble will be
aired in Judge Sullivan's court Wednes-
day afternoon.
Sherman has, until recently, be!leVed
himself to be first in the affections of
Miss Temple. Clark paid the woman al
together too much attention to suit him,
but his suspicious We're no fully aroused
until a short time ago. when Clark be-
came i'll. and Miss Temple quit her work
at the tlleater and nursed him back to
health and strength. This proved too
much for the patience of the long-sutfer-
ing Sherman, and he WAS getting even
with Clark when the officers appeared.
Ella Fay. charged with conducting a
house of prostitution, entered a plea of
guilty, but the charge against her was
dismissed. She was arrested at the in
Stance of a man who WOuld not give his
name, and who claimed that the woman
had robbed him of $40. The complainant,
however, did not appear in court this
morning and Judge Sullivan dismissed
the charge against the woman, with the
statement that in the future such state
ments must be su~bstantiated in court.
Dick Lemons, colOred. who drew a
! gun on a colored woman last Saturday
and threatened to shoot her, pleaded
guilty and was fined 500 and costs.
