SEA CAPTAIN A MARTYR
Ate Dog Nearly Eighteen Days in
Order to Faithfully Per-
form His Duty.

Nome, Alaska, Saturday, June IA (via
Seattle, June 25)-Eighteen days on
dog meat is the experience Of J. H.
Sprague, who brought in on the steam
or Dora Thursday morning 400 pounds
Of mail by the notorious Hanna route.
Mr.. Sprague left Hanna bay on March
1 with the mail consigned, and expe-
rienced hardships from which few men
survive. Yet he says he did not mind
il. although when he left Hanna he
weighed 1855 pounds. When he weighed
himself again at Linds trading post
he tipped the beam at lis pounds.
For fourteen days previous to taking
to dog meat he and the sub-mail con-
tractor, who was with him, man
named McInnis, lived on rotten fish.
They could obtain no supplies, heavy
storms on the trans-Alaska trail haY-
ing prevented them from reaching a
point where food could be obtained.
Finally they were found by Z. c. Hill
Of the Trans-Alaska company, and +.
Carlson. Hill made a trip Of fifty
miles and return and secured some
beans, bacon and -four for the starving
men, and they were saved.
Mr. Sprague accompanied the mail
through to the Yukon and from thence
to st. Michael and Nome.

Gang of Toughs Attack Passengers
at Short Line Depot.

dL 0uUIL AlIc OCpOIs
The lack of police protection at the
Short Line depot when the last train from
Saltair came in last night was taken
advantage of by a gang of hOOdlums. and
the passengers on one car were roughly
used. The hOodlums attempted 10 pull
women off the car, and then seized old
men and fought those who attempted to
interfere with their operations.
When the last train came in, the pas
sengers hurried to the street cars and
they were soon filled to their utmost ca
pacity. Half a dozen or more young men,
all of whom had apparently been drinking
rather freely, made rush for the cars,
and, grabbing the girls, attempted to
drag them off the seats. After pulling
two out of the cars, they attacked II.
Dinwoodey and pulled him into the street.
James II. Moyle iuterfered in the old
mans behalf, and the hOOdlUms attacked
him from every side. Blows were planted
in his face until his nose bled and his
face was badly bruised UP.
The passengers on the car became
aroused at this demonstration and
number of men dashed for the hoodlums,
but they ran and escaped. Owing to the
fact that the night officer 1T the depot
quits at n o'clock, there was no police
man to appeal to. and the passengers had
to submit TO the hOodlums. Such demon
