HOW THEY WERE RESCUED.
Captain of the Dispatch Saved Many
of the Shipwrecked PEOPLE


Eureka, Cal, Jan S.-Captain Victor
Johnson Of the steamer Dispatch which
rescued a majority OF the shipwrecked
passengers, gave the following account
Of the rescue:
About o'clock Thursday morning my
attention was called TO a small boat when
was manned by three men ana e0mlns
toward US. Owing TO the log We dld nor
discover her presence until she was rlguL
alongside. As the boat approached near
the men hailed. This was the hrSt IN
timatiOn that j had had that a marine
disaster had occurred The spokesman or
the party informed me that the " ala
Walla had been sunk by an unknown YES
sci on the MendOcinO coast The party
proved TO be three fishermen from the
wrecked vessel We took. them aboard
and Law TO the remainder of the day. sew
er3l boats and RATS We're picked up at
different intervals, the last about o CLOCK
Thursday afternoon. Some or them were
quite badly played out, especially those
on the life RATS.
There was a nasty choppy sea running
and this washing over continually inter
fered with the comfort of the passengers
10 such an extent that many were en-
tirely exhausted when picked up OF me
passengers rescued several were injured
One man had his leg damned, while two
were cut about the head and shoulders
Captain Hail was injured by a spar as
the vessel went down. Several OF the
women were more dead than alive wien
taken aboard, and with dlfhculty were
reconstructed
Captain Johnson was loud in his praises
of the bravery displayed by women res
cued by him, two in particular he gives
much credit Tor the calm4eSS displayed
According TO Captain Johnson the women
were far more nervy than the men, and
gave valuable assistance IN caring Tor
the survivors as each succeeding raft was
picked up.
In most instances it was with great
difficulty that the survivors were gotten
aboard owing TO the heavy sea running.
The captain and crew of the Dispatch
gave every attention to the wants Of the
passengers. in many instances their
wardrObes were entirely depleted. While
many Of the passengers had had ample
time TO robe themselves after the alarm
had been given. many failed 10 do 50,
and as a result not a few We're but III
clad, while those more fortunate were
drenched to the skin and suffered equally
vvirb rho less fortunate ones.

NOVEL WAY TO SETTLE
DISPUTES ABOUT WAGES

New York. Jan. S.-Today one of the

men and women are affected by a newly
patented method of making lasts, and
the employees demand an increase Of /

This the firm has refused and both
sides have fallen back on a unique ar

wOrkmen are to name two of the mem

TRUST TO PAY
DEBTS AND QUIT
Minnesota Concern Declares Re-
StriCtiOnS PrOhibitive.
SOLVENT BUT NOT PAYING
CONCERN CAN DISCHARGE LA
BILITIEs, BUT NO DIVIDENDS.

St. Pa - IAN. 3.-The st. Paul Trust
company las decided to quit business.
The assets of the company consist
largely of real estate, and notwith-
standing the depreciation in realty
valuations during the past few years,
the assets still largely exceed the la
biIities. The total assets are given at
S51O,55S in the past published state
ment of the company.
Today's action was taken with the
consent and approval of all the cred
itors. and the public examiner was
simply notified of the action taken, not
having taken any official part in the
decision of the directorate. J. w.
Bishop, president of the company, late
this afternoon issued a statement, in
which he says:
After an experience of some sixteen
years, the st. Paul Trust company has
found that the conduct of the trust
business, under conditions and restric-
tons existing here. has been unprotit-
able and has decided to iquidate its
affairs, to accept no new business and
within two years to retire from the
field entirely.
'All of the fund to the credit of the
trust accounts, including all agency
business, have long been set aside, as
required by law, in deposits separate
and apart from its own moneys, so that
any or all of them can be paid on de-
mand at any time.
with its other creditors it has ar
ranged to go into voluntary nquida
ton, and undertakes within two years
to convert its assets. which are largely
in real estate, now beginning to be
salable, and to satisfy all claims
against it. and expects to thus wind up
its affairs fully, amicably and honor
ably"
It is admitted that some Of the stock
holders may suffer some slight losses.

Man Who Was Killed a Brave and
Faithful FrOutiersma0

Faithful Frontiersman.
Sheriff Charles Kicker was one of the
most widely known of the western
frOntiersmen. who have played such an
important part in the winning of the
west" de was formerly a frequent
visitor to Salt Lake, and many resi-
dents of the city were acquainted with
him. w. II. KOrns, business manager
of the Mining Review, formerly ran a
paper in Casper. and knew Sheriff
Kicker well.
Charlie Kicker started his career by
running away from home when he was
about 13 years Old" said Mr.. Korns.
He went to Chicago, and there he met
the famous Wild Bill This was about
fifty years ago. Kicker was going along
the streets of Chicago wearing I'M
wieldy boots and clothes several sizes
too large for him, and carrying two
big hOrse-pistOls. Wild Bill saw him,
and remarked. Look at that little
cuss.'
The boy was ready TO fight right
away, but Bill laughed and explained
he didn't mean any offense. He asked
the boy where he was going, and was
told he was going west.
Well you're just my kind, said
Bill. You stay with me-
Pill took young Kicker to San Fran
cisco with him, and they Travelled to-
gether all over the west. Kicker
learned to break bronchOs and to herd
cattle, and he lived the life of the
western frontier until his death. Some
years ago he settled down on a ranch
near Casper. He volunteered his serv-
ices to Sheriff Kimball at the time of
the cattle war in Wyoming. He also
served through the SpanIsh-American
war as packmaster fol one of the regi-
ments.
He was a splendid fellow OPEN
hearted, generous, afraid of nothing
and always ready to do his duty. That
IS why he was killed. Some sheriffs
they have had in that country never
would have tried to serve a warrant
on a member of that gang
