Dennis Haipin Dead.


Dennis Halpin, who came to Fort
Bentor between 80 and 35 years ago and
WAC for the past seven years had made
his home at the Columbus hospital, died
at that institution yesterday at o'clock
from paralysis.
For many years he was janitor at the
Fort Benton court house, and while
there managed to lay up a small amount
of money, which he always said was for
his declining years.
In1894 ne grew sick and decided that
he would take what little money he had
and come to the hospital to spend the
remainder OF his days. With this de
cided upon he bade his friends there
good-by and that is the last time he had
been back.
He was a native of Ireland, aged 7G
years. He has no known relative, but
has been heard to speak of brother in
Ireland
The body is at McAllister's and will
be shipped to Fort Benton Monday
morning C. f. Tribune.

De Wet Reported Killed.

Durham, Natal. Oct. l9.--General De-
Vets recent Inactivity has produced the
impression among military men that he
is either dead or incapacitated through
illness or wounds. According to letter
from Pretoria prominent Boer recently
wrote a friend there relating the terrible
hardships suffered by the Beers in the
field, especially from lack of surgeons.
"De Wet, for example," wrote the
Boer, suffered the most terrible agony
before he died. He was wounded in the
shoulder by splinter from shell, and
the wound gangrened in consequence of
its being dressed with dirty rags
Five Beers captured at different places
recently said De Wet was dead, but gave
different version of his death. Against
these reports is statement of Piet De
Villiers, the field cornet recently prisoner
in the northwestern part OF the Orange
River Colony, who said that on the
morning of bis capture he took breakfast
with General De Wet.

Train Robbers Escape Again.

The capture of the bandits who held
up the Great Northern overland expresr
at Wagner, Mont, July 3, securing S43,-
900 in bank notes, officials of the Great
Northern Express company say, has
IGen seriously delayed by the announce
ment OF the capture a. Nashville o
Annie Rogers, alias Maude Williams,
supposed to be connected with the gang.
Before her arrest the Pinkerton agency
and police officers had plans which
seemed to assure a speedy capture of
the robbers.
Vice President and General Manager
Elliott of the express company said yes
terday that no further news had been re-
celved at headquarters, and that he did
not look for the immediate arrest of the
gang.
This woman, according to my ad
vices" Mr.. Elliott said, twas in com
munlcation with one OF the robbers at
New Orleans. When that man read the
account of her capture in this mornings
papers he probably disappeared at once.
II her arrest had not been made public
we would probably have secured him
and perhaps the rest of the men. Their
capture will, probably come sooner or
loter, but it has been delayed.
"The published account of the arrest
of the Rogers woman is correct. She
vailed into the bank and asked to ex-
change part of the stolen notes for Others
of larger denomination. She was of
course, arrested at once"
Mr.. Elliott says that the express com
pany does not know how the bandits es-
capped from the mountains south q OF
Wagner while pursued, nor what their
movements since have been. The iden
tification made at the time, he says, has
been substantiated Ira inmen on the
overland have identified photographs o!
the suspected men as pictures OF the
robbers.

 North, Condensed. Information for Everybody.

C.. Talmage, Dawson trader, has just returned from the South with stock of goods which he is taking in ov- CT the ice with his own conveyance.
 A skagway Indian predicted the re- cent cold snap, and now the people of that town are putting on airs because they think they havea genuine prophet with them
 There is no longer any complaint at Dawson concerning the slow delivery of mails. The c. D. Go. has reduced things to a system that is giving gener- al satisfaction.
 M. Clere. the owner of the automo- piles dumped at Selkirk last fall, has abandoned the idea of trying to oper- ate them this winter, and they will re- main where they are.
 The White Horse Tribune thinks that dancing with the thermometer at forty degrees below zero and acting in con- junction with sympathetic stove, is not entirely a pleasant pastime.
 Beginning with January 1st skagway postofice was made an international money order exchange for the Yukon territory instead of Seattle and all ad- vices will go through that office.
 Dr. J. J. Walters, who has just re- turned to Skagway from three months trip through the east, says the Alaska travel this year will be greater than last, notwithstanding the Nome boom.
 Arthur Riggs, a fireman on the Amur, was drowned at Ladysmith while the boat was taking on coal. A misstep and liquor were the causes that led to his hurried departure from this vale of tears.
 The White Pass & Yukon Railway has a new electric light plant in opera. ton, the juice being turned on for the first time on the evening of January 7th. It has voltage sufficient to supply 500 lights.
 The White Horse Star says that Wm Summerville is in the police guard room, where he was placed on a capias warrant from Dawson, charging him with being an absconding debtor tc Tom O'Brien in the sum of S1590.
 G. Tucker, second engineer, and P 1 McNamee, water tender on the steamer Dolphin were arrested on the arrival of that boat at Seattle on her last trip south on the charge of theft of whisky and canned oysters from the ships cargo
 The attorney of James Slorah, who is under sentence of death at Dawson for the murder of Pearl Mitchell on Oct 23rd, has moved for new trial for bis client on tue ground of newly discover ed evidence of a sensational and i'm portant character.

One hundred claims were staked in the Clear creek district on Stewart riv- CT in December making total of 700 locations for that country.
 On January 3rd an order was issued directing all attachments of mounted police on the Yukon trail to join and cooperate in search for the missing Dr. Bittinger
 The City of Seattle and the Cottage City recently had race from Port Townsend to Seattle, says the Port Townsend Leader. The Cottage City had a mile the start but was beat en in the race about that distance.
 It now, seems to be a general opinion that Dr. Bittinger, who recently mys- teriously disappeared on the Yukon trail, was murdered shortly after leav- ing Ogilvie, as several hard characters are known to have been on the trail at the time, who are LOW being watched by the police
 Nine-tenths of the business concerns of Dawson, including all the large cor, porations, have signed a protest against incorporation as a city. If the people of Dawson refuse to incorporate, the Yukon council says it will levy and collect taxes from property owners, anyway; as the city must be made self sustaining.
 The White Horse Star says that Mrs. Krause, who last summer run bath house and laundry in Bennett, and who has been engaged in the same business in White Horse since early last fall, was arrested by the police for keeping a house of prostitution and given forty eight hours to close up her affairs and leave town.
 The reported sale of the~steamer Clutch some time ago seems to be un- true. It is now said that she will be sold on Treadwell beach, within thirty days to the highest bidder. The Wash ington-Alaska people want it, and in the event of securing it, will christeu it the "City of skagway" and place it on the Alaska run.
 A special dispatch from Dawson, nn- der date of January 8th, to the Skag- way Alaskan, says that o, Perrin of that city has made fortunes in less than sixty days. At the recent sale of Grown mining lands he purchased lot on Gold Run for s1 He went to work at once and struck big pay. He has just refused s4O,oOO for the claim.
 The skagway Alaskan says Chief Isaacs, of the Chilkoots, who returned on Monday nights train from hunt ing trip over the hills back of Tagish accomplished by six of his tribe brought down two very fine specimens of moose heads. He says there is plenty of game back in that country and that one of his braves killed six moose in one day.
 The White Horse Tribune says that Bob Henderson, who is known to all the pioneers of the KIondike;arrived in White Horse last Sunday afternoon aud i left Monday morning for the outside Bob made fast trip out from the Koy- ukuk country. He travelled on foot all the way hauling large sleigh load of valuable furs after him and one day made as many as 56 miles. The furs have been shipped to Winnipeg.

The White Horse Tribune says that some time next month Mir. Mcdonald, of the firm of Jackson & Mcdonald, theatrical managers, will come to that place to superintend alterations and improvements on the big iron building south of Whitney & Pedlar's. He in- tends to have the building in shape for theatrical purposes by June Ist when a first class company of vaudeville artists will be brought there.
 A number of Dawson passengers came on the Al-Ki, among others D. P. Bus sart and Frank Benson, says the Seattle Times. On board also was Bussart's mule. The mule hauled the two men up the river from Dawson, making the trip from Dawson to White Horse in ten days. Bussart brought this mule down with him. He would not part with him, he says, for a great deal. In 1897 Bussart came from Colorado and went through to the Klondike via Skagway. The mule hauled him in and packed his outfit. Through all the hardships and dangers of the trip and through all the vicissitudes of the life which came after, Bussart and the mule stood by one another. They finally learned to love one another Hence the fact that they are still inseperable.
 The Montreal Star says that Yale Cariboo holds the palm at the close of the nineteenth century for up.to-date election methods. The free and inde- pendent electors of a placer locality fourishing under the striking and pie turesque name of "Hundred and Fifty Mile House." agreed to vote as unit. There were three candidates in the field. Galliher, liberal; McKane, conserva- tive, and Foley, labor, and apparently the voters could see nothing to choose between the candidates or the parties or the principles they represented re- spectively. A representative was ap- pointed for each candidate and the three representatives played game of poker, the stake being the united sui frages of "One Hundred and Fifty Mile House." Gallihers man won, and Gal liner captured the solid vote of the horny handed sons of toll, who are not only the pioneers of a new mining dis trict, but the pathfnders of new sys- tenn of constitutional government.
 The miners in the Tanana district are greatly agitated on account of the fail ure of Judge Wickersham to appoint court commissioner for that district to take charge of the mining records, says the Skagway Alaskan. They claim that he promised to appoint one and that the appointment should have been made Decembe 9th. They have re- ceived mail since that date, and no ap- pointment had been made. The ques- tion now arises whether or not loca- tions made after that date will be legal. The people generally censure the court very severely for the predicament they find themselves in. Early in the year, when it was understood that it was the purpose to attach Tanana to the Circle City recording district, petition was signed by all the Tanana miners to pre- vent the consummation of the scheme. Those who presented the petition to Judge WicIlersham say they got his promise to keep their district intact and to appoint court commissioners for them.

The Tribune says that Const. Kra- mer, of Five Fingers, shot himself in the knee a few days ago. He was taken to White Horse and placed in the po- lice hospital. On receipt of the news of the accident team and sleigh were sent down for the injured man.
 The White Horse Star says that c. E. Cole, a former Skagway newspaperman, who short time ago was put on the government woodpile at Dawson for 10 days for theft, has again bobbed up and warrant is now out for his arrest for forgery, the complainant being the manager of the Dawson branch of the firm of Whitney & Pedlar.
 The proprietors of the gambling es- tablishments of White Horse, the first of the month, came to the conclusion that their black jack games were not yielding enough profits, so they organ ized a combine and established the rule that when player turned black jack the house must be in on the play. This raised howl of protest from the pa irons of the gambling tables, No at tention being paid to their kick, inde- pendent games were started, and then the combine collapsed and the old ord, CT of things was restored.
 A special from Dawson to the skag, way Alaskan, under date of January 3 says that a great scarcity of food stuffs is reported on the lower Yukon. The Dawson manager of the Alaska 1 Commercial company has advised all prospectors going to Circle, Panama Rampant or the Koyukuk to purchase their flour, meat and bacon before start ing. He announces that there is none of these staples in that country. Flour | is S2o a sack at Circle and will aurely go higher before the opening of naviga tion in the spring Stuff may be ship. ped into that country.
 The White Pass and Yukon officials are now busiIy engaged preparing their annual reports for the meeting of the board of directors some time next month, says the Skagway Alaskan. In cluded in the report will be pictures ot every foot of track, every depot, tres tie, cut and building and all the rolling stock and machinery owned by the cor poration. The rolling stock will in cIude passenger coaches and tourist cars, flat cars and refrigerators, and the little handcars will not be over. looked. Photographer Winter, form erly of Douglas, is taking the views nee. essary.
 J.B. Lincoln tells the skagway Alas kan that there are about three hun. dred people in Valdes and money is plentiful. The principal industry is packing to the mines, two hundred miles distant, and the packers make things lively. As yet there are not many buildings but many are contem. plated for next spring. Good reports are coming in from the creeks and some quartz has been found near the city which promises to develop we'll. The copper ore is the richest I have ever seen, almost pure copper being found and the supply of ore is inexhaustible There is enough copper within short radius of Valdes to supply the world Valdes is the entrance to one of the greatest mineral districts in Alaska and with proper development will show wonderful results.
