MACDONALD SHOOTS
Superintendent MacDon- aid, of Treadwell, Puts Three Bullets Into
 "Yakirna" Jones.

This morning between nine and ten o'clock Supt. Macdonald of the Tread we'll mines was assaulted by a man called "Yakima" Jones, who carried a gun and a club, and Macdonald shot his assailant three times-once in each arm and once in the chest. Jones was taken to St. Ann's Hospital, where he lived about an hour.
 Upon hearing of the above a reporter for the News went to Treadwell and from conversation with MT. MacDon- aid and others, was enabled to glean the following information:
 Last Friday evening Jones called up on the Superintendent and told him that he had conie as an agent of God to warn him that if he did not close down the works on the following Sun day he would be made to suffer; that the mills would be burned and per sonal judgment would be brought upon Mir. Macdonald.
 MT. Macdonald went to Skagway last Saturday on the Topeka and returned at an early hour this morning on the Dolphin. He went to bed and got up about nine o'clock for breakfast, when he was informed by members of bis family that Jones had been hanging about the house since early in the morning to see him. Mir. Macdonald picked up 22-calibre revolver that he had at his home and started for the store. When nearly there he was met by Jones, who carried club in his hand, which he was swinging excitedly.
 Jones stopped the Superintendent and began upbraiding him for not clos ing the works on Sunday. The two were only few feet apart, when Jones said:
 "You have failed to obey the will of God, and have come to punish you. You are damning the souls of>a thous- and men, and I am going to kill you" With that he drew pistol from his pocket and made lunge at the Super intendent, who clinched with him and grabbed the pistol. Jones was pow erful man and more than a match phys ically for Macdonald, and was making frightful lunges to liberate his pistol, when Macdonald drew his pistol and shot Jones, first in one arm and then in the other, and finally in the chest, be- fore he could be made to desist in his frantic efforts to free his weapon from the grasp of the Superintendent.
 Jones fell and was first carried into the store and then to the hospital. Doctors Moore and Lapsley were sum moned. Jones lived about an hour.
 A coroner's jury was impanneled by
Douglas Island news., 1902-05-14

Judge Irwin, and after hearing the evi- dence verdict was returned as follows: INQUEST OVER THE BODY OF N. 0. JONES.
 We, the jury empanneled and sworn as jury of inquest in the above enti- tied matter, having viewed the body of the deceased, and having heard all the testimony adduced, do find that the deceased, N. c. Jones, came to his death at Treadwell, Alaska, on the 14th day of May, 1902, at about 10 o'clock a. m.; that the cause of death was pistol shot wound inflicted by Joseph Mac Donald.
 We further find that said Macdonald acted in self defense; that no blame can be attached to said Macdonald, and that no crime has been committed. Dated at Douglas City, May IA, 1902.

How the Club Co, In. An.Isrs.


In the main hall of the stately
home of the Hamilton club of Pat
erson, N. j., is an elk's head with
a noble spread of antlers, and gem
of the taxidermist's art. Behind
its appearance there is a story. It
was once an adornment of the al
most feudallike residence of Catho-
lima Lambert, known as Belle-visto
castle, in the outskirts of Paterson.
Mr.. Lambert prides himself on a
collection of paintings on which he
has expended a fortune. A few
years ago Mr.. Lambert invited a
party of friends in this city, artists
and critics, to inspect his collection.
They did so, and while praising the
paintings many of them seemed to
reserve their most rapturous words
for the elk's head, which had a
prominent place in the castle. This
annoyed the picture loving owner.
So the next morning at breakfast he
commented, en- famille, on the bad
taste of his guests, and wound up
his rather sneering comments BY
turning to his SON and remarking:
81 say, my son, take that elk's
head down to the club and make
them a present of it. I don't want
it to disturb the peace of mind Of
New York art lovers. There may
be some more of them out here some
time."-New York Times.

To Retain a Good Complexion.

To retain q good complexion and
digestion for the two generally go
tOgether-the food taken should be
simple, but nourishing, and atregu-
lar hours. Promiscous meals are
to be avoided, and, as q general rule.
stimulants should not be taken.
Warm milk will be found an ex-
cellent pick-me-up when needed.
The elderly woman must remem-
Der that she cannot undergo as much
fatigue as she could few years ago,
and that she should, while taking
regular walking exercise, be careful
not TO overdo it.
She should also be careful to have
sufficient sleep, and if she should
chance to have to keep late hours
she should take q rest and sleep dur
ing the daytime.
Cold, too, must be guarded against,
aud, therefor. an elderly woman
should wear undertaking of wool
or silk.
Wrinkles, of course, will come,
but no woman as she gets on in life
need wish to be without them, for
they really give character to the
face. II after forty years there
were no lines there, it would surely
denote u want of intellect, IL not a
want of heart.
For the complexion there is no
cosmetic to equal rain water, and
the daily tepid bath should not be
forgotten.
As for the hair, that should be the
color nature intended, for thus it
harmonizes with the complexion, and
dyeing il is invariably an artistic
mistake.
Sleep eight hours every night il,
you can. Few people realize the
value ofsleep. Takes warm sponge
over every night before going to
bed. Use small, hard pillow only,
or il you can do without one al
together. Attend to your general
health and take regular exercise
every day.

GETTING SATISFACTION retired
sea captain and lawyer, who were
always at loggerheads. lived next
door to each other. One very windy
night the lawyer was reading book
in his study when a terrible crash
upstairs startled him.
Upon investigation he found that
a chimney had hurled itself through
his roof, doing considerable damage,
and soon discovered that it was the
sea captains chimney. fastening
down to his library he pulled out
his law books and hunted up similar
cases, devising and scheming how
he could secure satisfaction from
the detestable captain.
While thus engaged q note arrived
from his enemy that read as follows:
IF you don't return those bricks
| will put the matter in the hands Of
the law"
