TWELVE YEARS IN AUSTRALIA
Former Brooklyn Man Impris-
 oned Among Bushmen.

His Family Had Mourned Him for
 Dead-After Getting Away from
 Australia He Went to the Philip
 pines and Was Wounded and May
 Be Cripple for Life.
 New York, March 19.-After twelve years imprisonment among the bush men of Australia, Joseph J. Gill, son of the late Thomas Gill, well known Brooklyn manufactures, has been heard from by his family, who had mourned him as dead.
 Gill left home in 1886, and ill 1893 his wife, believing him dead, married again.
 On August IT, 1886, Joseph ] Gill sailed from New York for Australia, where he had extensive mining inter- ests. The mines were situated about 500 miles from sydney, and Gill ex- pected to be gone about two or three years. He left behind a wife and two children, boys of seven and five years respectively.
 For two years letters were received regularly. His mining interests were prospering and he hoped soon to re- turn to the United States, he wrote in his last letter.
 4 period in which no tidings were received from MT Gill followed, and then came a letter from the American consul at Sydney, N. $. w, stating that Joseph Gill, q wealthy mine op- orator, and four companions had been ambushed and killed by Australian ;1, 41.. mines which the Brooklyn man con- trolled.
 This was the last heard from Gill until the news of imprisonment which has just been received. It came in the form of d letter to Inspector Me Laughlin of the Brooklyn police The letter was dated Dagupan, Northern Luzon, Philippine Islands The let ter, which was written i'll November 1901, was addressed to the chief of police of Brooklyn. It was as fol. l lows: .'In 1896 I left my home in Brooklyn for Australia, where I was held a captive in the interior by bush men until two years ago I then came to these islands and entered the campaign with Macabebe scouts Prior to Aguinaldo's capture I was | WOunued ana am aIfdlu am cflp pie for life. I am now making my way back to sydney, Australia, to my 1 wife and child.
 T do not know iH my dear mother is dead, but would be olad to know her address if she is alive, or my brothers. 1 shall be in Sydney by l the time you receive this letter. Please address me i'll care of the United l States consul at Sydney" The Brooklyn police had little diff ] ficulty in finding Gill's mother. Gable messages were at once sent to Gill q l sydney.
 1 No details have yet been received l concerning GilIs Imprisonment amons the bushmen who murdered his foul companions. After his escape Gill i I said to have attempted to secure i'll 1 formation concerning his family. Tn, private detective whom he is said tt have employed reported that his wlf' was dead and soon afterward Gil married a Sydney woman. Gilrs loy' of adventure led to his enlistment il i the Philippine service.

The New Yarlr s.IrnnIA p

The person who happens to be tenn porarily stranded, financially, in New York city, and who goes into pawn shop and "soaks" his watch, fancies that nobody will know anything about it. That person will be wrong. There is a great deal more to it than that. His name and address will have been reported to police headquarters and registered there, together with the number of his watch, and all this will be on record in black and white, not only for the present generation, but for posterity. That is why uncle is unpopular in New York. The num- Der pawned varies from month to month, but on an average there are fully 100000 different entries monthly for pawned watches reported to police headquarters, and there filed away for future reference.-N.

The old Roosevelt name comes from
 the mothers side. Before her mar riage she was Miss Carow, not Ca- rew.

The name of Quentin, one of the boys, belongs to the Carow side, and was also French Huguenot name, originally spelled Quantine. The same
