ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Dec. 29.-For the
fourth time the police and detectives of
this city have been outWitted by Pat

instrumental in keeping him from their

squad of officers In raid on building
this evening, in which 1T was supposed

OMAHA, Neb., Dee. 29.-Eddy MCGEE,

in the Joliet prison for another offense,
is now wanted by the police as the dark

of Pat Grove.
"There can be no doubt" said Chief Of
Police Donohue tonight, "that there was
a woman in the case, and have reason
to believe that that woman is still in
Douglas county 1 don't care to say
just why I think so. Grove was not
wonan's man. So far as my knowledge
of him goes, he was never known to be
mixed up with woman in love affair,
and If he took one into his confidence in
this case it was for business reas-n5
purely And it is not difficult to under-
stand why a woman was pressed into
service in this matter. A woman could
pick up a little girl on the street and
carry her away easily, where if a man
would attempt it the child would scream
and be frightened into Mysteries. So
think this accounts for the appearan e
of the woman in the case. I can say,
however, that the police are looking fer
no particular woman at this time -

says:
1.-The condition OF the natives Is so
miserable that one might say death
would be n relief to them. On entering
the tent one sees a man, his wife and
three children, and a number of in
fants, lying on thin mat on the damp

are coughing up blood and bile, and

GREAT SUFFERING EXISTS
AMONG THE ALASKAN INDIANS

death Is drawn by Father Rene, when
he describes the work performed at the
Holy Cross mission by his people.
by the end Of July there were sixty
nine Indians afflicted with the plague
at Holy Cross. Our Catholic fathers
and mothers did all they could to re-
lieve the distress. Father Parodi was
busy giving medicine and another
father was employed all day giving
spiritual comfort. A third priest,
Father Crote, was engaged in burying
the dead He had six funerals In one
day. Sixty died at Holy Cross alone.
There were sixty children In the mis-
sion, all Of whom were more or less
afflicted, but good care prevented all
but ten In the school from dying. Sis
ter Mary Josephine Of the Sacred
Heart, who had been suffering from
heart disease, overtaxed herself and
died.
1.-THE government furnished some as
sistance to the suffering natives, but 1t
was inadequate. and now with the ap-
proach Of winter the Indians find them
selves without their customary rations
of food from fishing and the chases,
and the closing chapter In the tragedy
is the coming of the keen winter"
The lower Yukon has lost many m
tives Mt various places. but on the Ber-
ing sea coast they went by entire vii
