ROBBERS SECURED $4,000
New Light is Thrown on the Rob-
berry By a Passenger.
Belief Prevails that the Robbery IL
the Work of the Famous "Dutch
Henry Gang.

st. Paul, June 18.-The men who held
up the North-coast Limited Thursday
night peal Bear Mouth, Mont, secured
press Co.'S safe, which they dynamited.
A Butte mai named Annaweldt, who
was d passenger On the North-coast
Limited that was held up near Bear
Mouth, throws new light IN the rob-
berry. He declares that while two men
did the actual work, they had confeder-
ates in the woods, down the track. After
the safe had been blown up and the
booty secured, the two robbers rushed
the engineer and fireman down the
track away from the engine. Mr.. An
naweldt followed unnoticed.
When the robbers had gone $50 yards
they stopped and yelled, ITS us with
the fireman and engineer; don't shoot"
Voices from the woods yelled, al
right; come on" Then Mr.. Annaweldt
heard the tramp of hOofs as q party OF
men mounting horses. The robbers
commanded the engineer and fireman
to stay where they were and entered
the woods. Later Mr.. Annaweldt heard
them ride away. Judging from the
sound there must have been seven or
eight men. The belief here is that
the robbery is the work of the famous
Dutch Henry gang, which is the rem
nant of the band of desparadoes once
headed by Kid Curry. This crowd was
active in Teton county last winter, but
has not been heard from for some
weeks, and is thought to have crossed
the Canadian line.
Dutch Henry" is an old pal of Cur
rvs, and the man to lead an expedi-
ton Of the Bear Mouth sort. 1t is
thought that Curry left this state last
summer when, after his attempt to
hold up a Great Northern train near
Havre, he Was SO holly pursued.
B. e. Palmer, superintendent of the
Rocky mountain division of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Co, has offered
s., 900 for the capture and conviction OF
the robbers. The state also has offered
a reward of $500.

Wooden Food.

A traveller in Siberia, a few years
back, noted that among the natives along
the northern coast wood, in a certain
form, is a most common and constant
article of diet. The natives eat it be-
cause they like it. Even when fish are
plentiful it usually forms part of the
evening meal, as many Clearly stripped
larch logs Hea every hut testify. These
people know by experience that the fact
of their eating wood arouses the SYM
pathy of strangers, and shrewdly use it
to excite pity, and to obtain gifts of tea
and tobacco. They scrape off thick lay
ers Immediately under the bark of the
log, and, chopping it fine. mix it with
snow. 1t is then boiled in a kettle.
Sometimes a little fish roe, milk or but
ter is mixed with it.

death CLAIMS
GEN.. B0BR|KOFF
Governor General of Finland the
Victim of Assassin's Bullet.
BOBRIKOFF HAD BEEN WARNED
But Against the PIeadings of His Of
Hcfnl Family the General Had
Constantly Declined to Have -
an Escort.

HelSingfors, Finland, June 1S.-The
Russian flag at half-mast over the gov
errors palace Friday morning pro-
claimed to the people of Helsingfors
that Gen. Bobrikoff, governor-general
of Finland, was dead. of a bullet wound
inflicted by an assassin. There was
no excitement in the city and no at
tempt at a demonstration was made.
Father, mother, brothers and sisters
Of Schaumann, the assassin 81 Bobrl-
koff, were arrested and subjected to a
searching examination, but late Friday
evening they were released and allowed
to return to their country home.
How far the Swedish party is impll-
Gated in the killing of the governor
general has not been established; but
the authorities are convinced that
Schaumann, who committed the crime,
had accom- plices who found the brood
ing, nalf fanatical student, a ready tool.
BobrikOff Had Been Warned.
Warning of the intended assassina-
ton of the encouragement reached
the authorities last December, but Bob
rikoff, against the ~pleadings of his Of
fetal family, declined an escort. A few
months later this warning was repeat
ed, and Bobrikoff thereafter was at
tended by a small guard and a number
of secret service men except within the
senate building, the senate having re-
quested permission to furnish protec-
ton for the general there.
There was a considerable crowd OF
curious persons outside the governors
palace throughout the day, but there
was no manifestation, either e~Xultation
or sympathy. The police kept the
crowd moving.
Gen. Bobrikoff's body will be convey
ed to St. Petersburg on June 10 for
burial.
1t appears that Gen. Bobrikoff never
had a chance to survive. The surgeons
had only the slenderest hope from the
operation which they performed and
they realized that death was almost
inevitable. During the operation the
pulse altogether ceased more than once.
The injuries inflicted were so terrible
as to indicate that tia bullet was OF
an explosive nature.
After the operation was completed
the patient regained and maintained
consciousness for about three hours,
during which he spoke a few words to
his wife and daughters. Then at 5
o'clock he again became unconscious
and remained so until he died.
The body reposes in a room in the
governors palace attired in q military
uniform. Gen. Bobrikoff will be buried
Monday next in the family vault at
Sergrei, near ST. Petersburg.
1t was said that Schaumann's father.
who was a member of the senate, retir-
ed from public life because he was OPP
posed to Finland's becoming an inte-
grail portion Of the Russian empire.

said. "The doctor told me to watch
her. She brooded all the time. The
doctor said she had melancholia, not
for any reason, but just because she
couldn't help it. Poor Florence!"

o'clock. She stood before a mirror and
held the pistol close to her heart. She

One hopeful phase of the situation
Is the steady decrease in the number
of missing, though it is still appallingly
large, the number of missing being

The various officials whose position

aster still adhere to the belief that
when all is told it will be found that

Buryins the Dead.
The sad task of burying the dead
has begun. A meeting OF the Ger
man Lutheran ministers of the city
was held, and a programme of services
arranged. While in many instances a
joint service will be held over several
bodies. nevertheless the clergymen of
his denomination have an herculean
task before them in administering the
last rites over the dead of their faith.
Houses Filled With Dead.
The distressing concentration of the
blow of the disaster is shown by the
fact that in one apartment house in
Eighth street there are 80 dead, while
in a Rivington street house 16 bodies
await burial.
Three Investigations.
Preliminary steps have been taken
for three distinct Investigations of the
disaster. These are being undertaken
by the federal authorities, through the
department of commerce; by the coro-
ner's Office. and by the district attor-
ney. The coroner's' inquest will begin
on Monday next, and Capt. Van
Schaick OF the Slocum and six of his
crew lie in a hospital with a police
man at the bedside of each. They are
at present detained as witnesses.
Authoritfes Gathering Evidence.
The authorities are rapidly gathering
such evidence as will be abdul in as
pertaining whether or not there was
neglect or carelessness in the safety
appliances Of the vessel. First Officer
Edward Flanagan, of the Slocum, is
quoted in an interview as saying that
the steamers fire hose was rotten and
useless, and that it burst in a dozen
places when he and his men tried to
use it. The charge is also made that
the life-preservers on the vessel were
old and rotten, and in most instances
proved inadequate when used. Several
papers printed pictures of preservers
taken from the Slocum, which bear in
black letters this inscription:
PASSED by United States Steamboat
Inspector, June IS. 1891"
The Defective Fire Hose.
William Thembley, a deckhand, cor
roborates Flanagan's statement regard
ing the defective fire hose, and 1t is re-
ported that evidence has been secured
showing that some OF the lifeboats
were made fast by wires, making it
impossible for them to be cast loose
and lowered. All the men who have
made these statements will be called
as witnesses by the coroner.
Police boats and other harbor craft
still maintain their patrol OF the wa
tiers of the East river in the vicinity
of the accident in the hope of recov-
ering bodies.
