Sheriff,

SncTlH.
Butte, Mont, Sept. 17.-Telegraphic
advices from Edna, Texas, say that W.
Guy Landers, Jr., who blazed a trail
across the continent with bogus checks
and who is wanted in Seattle, Portland,

cities for forgery, was killed Sunday

after the fugitive had fatally wounded
that officer and killed Deputy John

lings, Mont, but made sensational
escape after several weeks incarcer-
alton, digging his way through the
walls with case knife. Landers was
identified by papers found on his body
yesterday. He was chased from state
to state by Pinkertons and his career
is meteoric.
The dead man was going under the
name Of Marcus G. eagle, and claimed
to be capitalist of Philadelphia. He
had also on foot negotiations for a
trade for several hundred acres Of rice
land at Victoria, for which he had
given a check for $4,000, which was

GOLD FIND IN DAWSON.
The Town Is Located on Rich Ground
Streets Paved With Gold.


Seattle, Wash, Sept. ia special
from Dawson says:
Dawson stands on gold mine, and
LIS streets are paved with gold. Ex-
citement prevailed in Dawson Satur-
day night over the circulation of the
report that pay dirt running from to
is cents to the pan had been struck
at the head of Albert street. in the
heart Of the city.
The report proved true. The gravel
in all directions near Dawson contains
gold. This is little richer than
most of the dirt within the city limits,
and may be rich enough to pay the
owner to sluice it in the spring, when
the freshets furnish plenty of cheap
water from the big hill back of town.
The strike in the city was made by
some men hauling gravel from an old
gravel pit Thousands of yards Of the
same dirt has been scattered along
the streets of Dawson in the process
of grading, and since it all contains
more or less gold. it may literally be
said that the streets of the Yukon city
are paved with the precious metal.

SEATTLE PATRoLMAN KILLED,
W. s. Thomas, Robber, Is Also
Shot,

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 15.-Patrol-
man Albert Schaneman Of the local DO.
lice force was shot and killed at mid
night by William S. Thomas, one of
the three men who held up the Willard
bar Saturday night. Thomas and a
companion had been recognized by
Schaneman on his beat as answering
the description Of the highwaymen,
and he called on them to halt They
took to flight, and Thomas, lodging
INTO dark doorway, escaped sight of
the policeman.
AS Schaneman passed, pursuing the
other man, Thomas fired, the bullet
head Other officers, attracted by the
shots. Mastered up and Thomas was
brought down with bullet in his back
by Detective Philbrick. The other man
escaped.
Schaneman never regained con
seriousness and died few minutes af-
ter being taken to police headluar
tiers. Thomas does not appear serious
ly hurt. Schaneman had been on the
force since 1897 and was popular and
fearless officer. He leaves wife and
one child.
Thomas, at the time he was taken
to the police station, stated that the
ct which would be found in the
office, was Of the 3S caliber and as the
gun on him was A caliber he could
not have done the shooting. This
proved true. The police have not To-
Gated the man who did the shooting.

Sofia, Sept. 16-The Bulgarian gov
eminent, through its foreign repre-
sentatiyes, has addressed a note to
the great powers, declaring that the
porte is systematically devastating
Macedonia and massacreing the Chris
tian population. Further, it says Tur-
key has modified her whole army,
which can not possibly be for the sole
purpose of suppressing the revolution.
Therefore, the Bulgarian government
appeals to the humane sentiment of
Europe to prevent the continuance of
the massacres and devastation and to
stop the mobilization Of the Turkish
army. The memorandum concludes
with the plain statement that unless
the powers intervene Bulgaria will be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary.
While 1t is possible that Turko-
Bulgarian war may even yet be avert
ed, the probabilities of such an en-
counter were never greater than at
the present moment The recent note
to the powers, the most decided step
yet taken by the principality, was die
tated not only by the alarming re-
ports Of wholesale massacres and de-
VISITATION daily arriving, but also by
the Indifference of the powers towards
the severity Of Turkeys repressive
The Bulgarian ministry has endeav-
ored to maintain strict neutrality, but
/. appears very possible that the gov
eminent may now depart from this DO
sition.
