OLD RIVER MAN

Win Float a FIatboat Down the Treach-

Chicago Inter Ocean: An attempt 10
being made to navigate the Yellow
stone River from this city to the Mis-
souri,, and thence to ST. Louis, with
craft that will carry about 100 tons
Of freight. Livingston may be said to
be at the head Of even canoe naviga-
tion on the Yellowstone River. and
this is the first attempt in history TO
navigate the stream with anything
approaching boat. Many attempts
have been made in the past to float
down the river with skiffs. but they
have been uniformly unsuccessful, and
each summer adds to the list of vic
Tins claimed by the river from those
who have been foolhardy enough to
make the trial. The Yellowstone joins
the Missouri at Fort Buford, about 500
miles northeast of this city, and for
about half the distance flows through
succession Of canyons, and at short
intervals below this city breaks into
rapids extremely dangerous and difn-
cult Of navigation, even for a skiff.
An old Mississippi River hatboat-
man named H. c. Sharpless last win

structing flatboat, loading it with
bones, petrif1ed wood and other far
western curiosities, and, with the first
sign Of high water in the spring, float

craft ready for the trip at her dock

tial cargo, amounting to perhaps 50

Saws We Are in Debt.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Times today
prints long editorial dealing with the
economic position of the United States,
as evinced by the allotment OF the war
loan, and traces the progress during the
last four years Of the reduction Of the
American debt, but mai that the
United States has not yet ceased to be a
debtor nation. 1t refers to the abund-
ance OF capital accumulating in America
and adds:
"Nothing could suit the Americans
better among the non-American securi-
ties than the obligations Of the British
government. Not only have the Ameri-
cans considerably reduced the perma-
nent Indebtedness OF Europe by buying
American railway and other bonds and
securities, but when in the autumn Of
1898, London houses refused to renew
masses of German bills previously held
here, the bulk, after having been domi-
ciled for a short time in Paris, were
transferred to New York, where they
have remained ever since.

able to employ at home satisfac torily

HUdfett Held For Murder.

Sslid4 Colo, Aug. A.-The corouer's
inqhestover the body of the murdered
negro, bsvid Davis, was held today.
The local officers seem TO have made a
strong case against the negro, Matthey
Collett, who is now in cuetody. The
story as deducted from the evidence
seems to be as follows:
The four negroes, Owen. Wells, COL
lett and Davis were together during the
evening. There was a quarrel ABOUT
money matters. as Collett wanted to get
some money that he claimed was due
him, Davis owing him 80 cents. Wells
and Owen left the two men, as they were
afraid there would be trouble. A fight
began between Davis and Collett in the
room of the former. Davis was stabbed
in the neck near the collar bone, and
blood was scattered about the place.
Davis also had another cut on the shoul
der blade about three inches long. The
two men ran down the alley leading
from the house to the place that the
murder was committed. The theory ls
that Davis was trying to get away and
that Collett was trying to catch him.
In this event the stab in the shoulder
may have been inflicted as Collett caught
up with him. Then it is thought possi-
BILE that in the struggle Collett caught
Davis head under his arm and slashed
him across the neck. There we're two
cuts, one possibly not fatal, as it ranged
along the jaw bone. The other extend
ed from ear to ear and nearly severed
the head from the body. Collett then
came quickly up town and was half an
hour later arrested.
He is as cool as possible. The coron-
er's jury today brought in virdict to
the effect that Collett killed Davis with
a sharp knife or razor.

they saw what was coming and Fridcum

did his best he could not prevent the
