likely to awake immense interest. In
the suit Mrs. Jennie Mcbride sues Mrs.
Carrie Clifford for damages to the extent
bands affections and the cause Of his
death. The announcement of this quit
was made in the dispatches from Neva-
da Saturday, but some additional facts;
may be of interest.
Fred NJ. Mcbride, whose mysterious
death occurred on Oct. 80, was painter
and decorator who came to Nevada sew
eral years ago. Mcbride was nice look
K ing, a good dresser, a pleasant fellow to
meet, and it was not long before him-.
self and wife were moving in good soci-
ETY.. After year or 80 considerable
talk gained currency, alleging that his
attentions to Mrs. Clifford, the wife of a
prominent lawyer and real estate bro
ker, were becoming very marked. Mat
ters ran along undisturbed in this line
for some months. when McBride's wife,
the plaintiff in this case, left him. The

NOR often lies
On the evening of Oct. 80 the lifeless
body Of Fred Mcbride was brought to
his room at the home of Mrs. Letson.
The coroner,s investigation brought
out the fact that while walking on the
street south of the cemetery Mrs. Gift
| ford and Mrs. Blackman, a friend, found
the body of Mcbride. There was appar-
l.ently life in the body when found. Mrs.
Clifford ran for assistance, and 1t was

subject to heart trouble. and post
mortem examination showed the heart
to be twice its normal size. The verdict
of the coroner 8 jury was that F. NJ. Nc
Bride came to his death by heart fall
ure, without any violence.
On the evening Of the tragic death the
streets were damp and muddy, but the
clothes and shoes worn by the dead man
when brought to his room We're dry and
unsettled, and failed to indicate a long
walk or stay out of doors
Some dissatisfaction was manifested
| at the time as to the investigation, and
many held that more thorough nves-
litigation as to where the death occurred
should have been made
It is the wife Of the deceased who
A brings the suit, and some evidence of a
sensational nature is likely to be
brought out in the course of the trial.

During the winter and my FAM

The disease was very prevalent at that
time in the village where I resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it..
Our doctors treated tas best they could,
but were very unsuccessful in the treat

taken sick Invent to the drugstore and
bought six bottles Of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took it according to the directions
given on the bottle; and although our
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all we'll much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this 10 grippe dur
Ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
sick so short time as myself and
family. After we were all well we had
one bottle Of Pe-ru-na left.

his death by violence, and yet the body was so far decomposed that the jury could not be certain. The following is the verdict of the jury:
 eve, the undersigned jurors, having been sworn to enquire into the cause of the death of an unknown man whose body was found on the Dalton trail, near the Tahkeen river bridge, do find as follows: That the name of the deceas- ed is supposed to be George Metcalf, who was trapping in the vicinity of the place where the body was found, with his partner Arthur Wilson; that he was about 45 years of age, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, of fair complexion, with full set of false upper teeth, and two lower teeth are gold capped; that he came to his death from causes to this jury unknown. From the evidence adduced before this jury we recon mend that full investigation of this case be made by the proper authorities, and that the partner, Nelson, be found if possible if he be alive.
 'Dated this 24th day of July, A. D., 1900.
 "Signed by Will Nash, foreman; E.. B. Clark, K. Richardson, c. f. Alberg, W. B. Stout, J. s. Rosberg."
 From the foregoing verdict it would seem clear that the jury are of the opinion that the man supposed to be George Metcalf met his death by foul means and not by natural causes. Al so that the partner Nelson in all prob ability is lying dead in the same vicini- ty where the body of Metcalf was found. At any rate we know that an- other man has lost his life in this nor thern country and that probably loved ones, thousands of miles away, per haps a wife and children, are looking for word from the absent one, and looking forward in bright anticipation to the time when the husband and father will return to them. And He who tempers the winds to the shorn lamb will henceforth be their only comforter.

SHOT FROM THE SHORE.

Last night little after Il o'clock, G.. Roene, Albert Ohman and Joe Wilker. son of Douglas, and Mir. Francis, of Ju- neau, were coming from Juneau to Douglas in row boat. When nearly opposite the Juneau powder house a man-presumably an misunderstanding between the two cabins in the upper row, fired two rifle shots in their direc- tion, coming viciously near, one strik- ing an oar held by Mir. Wilkerson. It is needless to add that they lost no time in coming to the Douglas landing. It is evident that the shots were fired with malicious intent and only faulty aim prevented a serious injury, if not death, to one or more of the gentlemen.
 When Mir. Francis returned to Ju- neau, he carried a small arsenal with him and had blood in his eye.
 The authorities should if possible find the Indian who did the shooting and give him a trip to Sit1a.

MEXICAN MIXuPs.

John Gwaltney visited his many friends on the Island Monday, After two months in the Juneau hospital, where he was dangerously ill with ty- phoid fever, this outing is to him guarantee of recovery.
 Many people thought that Henry M. Stanley had charmed life when he toured the "Dark Continent" and re- turned alive. But James Kirwan, as- sistant foreman of the Mexican mine, had an experience the 24th ut. that was more thrilling than looking for the source of the Nile. While in the act of stepping on the cage at the attic level of the mine, he took what seemed like dive into eternity Rapid as the flight of thought the cage disappeared down the shaft before he got footing on it, and as the poise of his body was towards the shaft there was no alterna- tive but to go-headlong down to a pre- mature death Although Mr. Kirwan survived it, and is sufficiently recover ed to leave the hospital at will, he is entirely unable to recall anything that would suggest how he escaped without even one broken bone How any man could fall over one hundred feet, and land on the cage, without being killed or a cripple for life is nothing short of miracle. A conversation with him in the hospital suggested that his de- scent downward was a succession of falls from side to side of the shaft. Of the kindly treatment of the Sisters of St. Anns Hospital he spoke in terms of earnest praise MT. Kirwan came to Douglas over a year ago from Stock ton, Cal, and has wide circle of friends here who rejoice at seeing him on the move again.
 Ralph Knight has an injured eye as the result of getting struck by piece of steel in the Mexican mill.
 Mir. J. P. Northrup will accompany Superintendent Robeson to South Af- rica. J. ?. has made many friends dur ing his comparatively short stay here, and the boys wish him we'll. But should the shifting tide of travel bring him back to Douglas Island, a hearty well come will be his.
 At 1O;3O p. m., Monday evening the City of Seattle landed Mrs. Robeson and her sister, Mrs. Wheeler, of Taco ma, Wash, at the Mexican. Something new in shipping circles here for a steamer to make landing so near port. Mrs. Robeson had been visiting her sister. It was a surprise party for Mir.
