Exhausted and Have to Bc Adam

Frank Bracket, of Skagwav, also keep
er of the roadhouses at Upper and Lower
LaBarge last winter, and lrvie Mead, also
of Skagway experienced extraordinary
hardships and privations in making the
trip from Fort Yukon to the Koyukuk dig
gngs this spring. They lost the trail.
Bracket and Mead started in with horses
packed with supplies. Gradually they
threw away a part of their supplies and
lghtened the load upon the beasts. This
did not avail. The animals grew weaker
and weaker and had to be abandoned.
The men then went on aloot. They
struck out and onlv seemed to get deeper
and deeper into a wilderness. Their entire
stock of food giving out, thew killed and
ate their maIamute dog. When the canine
flesh was gone, they killed and ate boot
owl.
rhey were unsatshed as to the cravings
of the inner man until thew met a prospet-
tor named Stewart, who had a small
amount o. food. He helped them and took
them to his cabin, sixty miles away,
Bracket and Mead, after all, had travel
ed only about 100 miles until they came
upon Stewart. The report was sent out
to Bert Dickey in Dawson, and given BY
him to the Dawson Nugget Mr.. Dickev
was a partner with Mr. Bracket last win
ter in the roadhouse business at LaBarge.

F. A. Heuer, mining man of the Porcu-

discovered the corpse of an unknown man
on the Dalton trail about IS miles from
Haines last Thursday, was in Skagway
Yesterday,
Mr.. Heuer says the BODY was in badly
decomposed state and had evidently been
dead some time. He said:
"While there were no marks on the body
to indicate foul PLAY noticeable to US, we
aid not examine it carefully. We onlv ex-
amined it as it appeared without disturbing
at all.
"We wanted it to remain as il was until
the coroner and jury had chance to see it,,
and then it was too gruesome for US to
want to handle it much.
1--WE examined his pockets and found
only the papers and watch mentioned in
the DAILY ALASKAN Friday morning.
We did not find any money in his purse
though he might have had money under
his clothes for all we knew.
"No one in Haines knew the man, and |
have heard of no one in Skagway who did.
1--WE saw nothing to indicate the cause
of death.
gu S. Commissioner Sol Ripinskv had
summoned coroner's jury and left for the
scene of the discovery before left Haines.
They will hold an inquest and bury the
body.
I'VE were about to camp and were
searching for fire wood at the side of the
trail when we found the body.
1.-The deceased's name was undoubtedly
George MetcaIf, as there were several re-
ceipts found made to that name"

 "Holderness is undoubtedly one of the best blocllCrs 1 have ever seen" said an old leaguer. He can give Bartlett. Conway or any of the rest cards and spades in this line. Bart lett, however. is the best passer in the business. Holdorness and Bartlett DOS sess the essential requisites which. if combined in either orc. would make him the greatest halfback that ever lived. Conway is really the only man who combines these two requisites to any noticeable dogree.''
 The following truthful and emphat- ic article from the Hartford Post hits the nail right on the head and should meet with recognition by the mag mates: President Murnane and Secre- tary Jacob Morse of the National polo league receive q salary from the five misguided managers of the league. still their papers the Boston Herald
 and Globe, publish padded stories of Maine league games every day. with hardly a mention of major league contests in comparison. The attend
 ance figures also show balloon-like tendencies. For instance, Wednesdays issues of the papers named gave the attendance in Lewiston in variance with each other. The Globe figures were 900" and the Herald lover i 1000" As both dispatches probably emanatcd from the same source. it looks as though ''some one" was do | ing q little ''boCstinG" on his own ac-
 count. Please tell the public. ye mag
 mates, why NesSrs Murnane and Morse should remain on the pension list of | the National league. In 1898 Charles | r. Olin, then secretary of the major | league. edited a polo guide for the ben i eft of the followers of tho sport A
 careful inquiry among newsdealers has
 revealed the fact that none has been
 issued since that date. Here is an
 other little circumstance which goes
 to prove how Messrs Murnane- and

 just what particular reason the Na,

 known to the supporters of the game in the five cities of the circuit. It

 would make the organization several degrees stronger. and in the words ot

McGovern is starring in play called The Bow cry After Dark" In it h2 performs ali sorts of heroic deeds, and receives the applause of the gallery every time he knocks the villain down, which Is quite frequently.
 The work of entertaining q Chicago audience with pictures of the BoWery Is arduOUS. and recreation is almost d necessity when the lab0rs Of the night are finished. \ little after-th2at2r luncheon is the proper capGr under such circumstances and Terry believed in proper capCrS.

The party included the various members of Terry'S company. among others Miss Queenie Tenny Mrs McGOvern was also one of the in vited guest Mrs McGovern decided that her baby. who is ill. needed her attention. and she didn't accept the ln-. vitation.
 The evening passed with songs and laughter, and when the time came to go Terry. with youthful eXuberance, was singing cakeWalk song. Miss Quecnie TennE graspcl him by the arm and the two started in to entertain the others of the party with a cake walk.

 Springfield, Nov 23.-Hartford proved one of the easiest propositions that the home team has tackled this season, in the game last night. The visitors were outplayed at all points of the game and the score was made large enough to suit the most eXacting crank. Fouls were numerous ana Barney Doherty excelled in the num- Der made. Hartford lost d goal on fouls and Springfield lost two that were sent into the cage but came out again. The home players simply toyed with the ball, and Harry Starkie was kept busy dCdging the cannon ball shoots that were coming his way all night. 1t was one of the worst de- featS that Hartford has received in many selSons. The score and sum- mary:
