of cattle in one case and OF ID in another

case the cattle were found lying dead
but few feet from a wire fence, the
point of discharge Of the bolt being
long distance from where the stock was
killed. Barb wires are veritable live
wires under such conditions.

BAD BOY ARRESTED.
Eddie Griffin, Young but Experienced
Arrested Again.

Eddie Griffin, colored, thirteen years of
age, was again arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Splann and Thornton, for stealing
a revolver and $3.50 in money from the
home of John Goodnight, 210 Geisendorff
street.
Though young in years, Griffin is an
experienced criminal His last arrest prior
to this one was for being caught on the
roof of house which it was thought he
intended robbing. The police who found
him had a long chase after him. On Sept
II Griffin was arrested for entering and
robbing the house of r. J. Pedlow, 354
Douglass street, while the family were
away from home. Some money and a
revolver were taken and afterward recov-
cred. March last he was arrested for
petit larceny. Young Griffin. lives at 221
Douglass street. He has invariably, on
account of his youth, been released on sus-
pended judgment, the last time on condi-
ton that he be sent by the woman with
whom he was living to his parents In Ken
lucky. In the thefts he has committed the
lad has displayed at times such cunning
that the police and detectives, who are in
the habit of dealing with criminals older
in years, were led TO suspect others, think
ing il was impossible for boy so young
to have developed such criminal cunning.

The copies of the papers received here
were published last August. They are full
of news of an interesting character and

edies." being given at the opera house.
Another paragraph relates an incident
of a social nature thus: 1.-THE music of a
brass band attracted attention to the home
of Niger Jim on Sunday night, and it soon
became noised about that it was in honor
of his marriage to I.ottie Oatley. A re-
porter who called next day. however,
learned that the occasion was simply the
little lady's birthday, and that the sere-
made was little surprise prepared for her
by Niger Jim"
A paragraph in the Nugget says: '"The
father of Klondike Dossie Schultz, the
first white baby born in KIondike and who
travelled 5000 miles before she was year
old, received a letter last week concerning
the little one, who is in the hands of kind
ly people at Seattle. She is now nearly
two years old and gives promise of possess
ing intelligence and character" Editori-
ally the Nugget says: Dawson bids fair
to be the scene of considerable gayety dur

comparatively large feminine population,
while the presence of numerous little tots
attest the fact that home life, with its at
