SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. M.-When the
steamship Portland reached the dock to-
day from the North, George e. Danells,
the first passenger to land, was arrested.

ers, who had opened branch house in
Dawson, is alleged to have visited Be-
nanza, Grand Forks and other mining
camps, collected a large sum of money,
and failed to account for it.
The Portland brought $40 passengers
and three tons of gold, most of which
came down the Yukon to ST. Michaels.
Passengers arriving report that winter
has practically set in, and that the ice
has begun to form along the shore at
ST. Michaels.
