mowcLI ON VANCOUVER ISLAND
Existence of Wild Man Seen by Hunt
ers is Confirmed.

NANAIMO, B. c., Dec. 16.-Vague
rumors always discredited hitherto,
that Vancouver island was the home
of a Mowgli, facts of whose life rival
Kipling's fiction, have been fully con-
firmed by four men. While they were
out hunting recently near Horne lake
they saw a man, evidently young, with
long matted hair and beard and COW
cred with hair all over his body, who
ran away with the swiftness of deer
when they approached.
Several times during the last few
years reports have come down from
that district of such a creature being
seen, but as the truth of the story de-
pended upon one or at most two wit
nesses they were universally secuted.
Four men now confirm the story and
the recollection of people of this vicin-
ity goes back to nine years ago, when
a little boy wandered off into the
brush from an outlying settlement and
was never seen again. There is rea-
son to believe that the wild man is
this boy grown up. How he lived in
the interval, unless cared for by
beasts. Mowgli fashion, it is difficult
to imagine.

STATE HAS RIGHT TO CONTRACT
Supreme Court of the United States
Rules With Waterway Company.

Ruies with waterway Company.
The supreme court of the United
States has denied an application for
a rehearing of the case brought by the
Seattle & Lake Washington Waterway
company against the Seattle Dock
company and the Channel Coal COM
pany. The decision of. the supreme
court settles the controversy and es-
company's contract for filling in Seat
tie tide lands.
In the case brought by the dock and
coal companies the question Of the
validity of the contracts was the most
important feature. The contract was
attacked on the ground that it was
unconstitutional and federal questions
We're involved that brought it upon
appeal before the attention of the su-
preme court of the United States.
The final decision is interpreted by
attorneys for the waterway company
to mean that there will be no further
controversy over the waterway COM
pany's contracts 1t is insisted that
| the decree establishes the corpora
tons claim to a right to fill in tide
| lands and that any legislation passed
by successive legislatures cannot up
set the contract
1t is questionable whether legisla-
ton now would make any important
change in the situation, for the water
way company's local contract covers
cities of the first class that could pro-
fitably be filled. The waterway COM
pany's attorneys insist that their con-
tract is now a vested right and that
the corporation can proceed without
fear of court or legislative interior.

The answer as set forth on the postal
card was that Israel had been found
guilty of adultery and that he was in
prison from November %, 1895, until
February Z, 1896. The postal card fur

pardoned.
Whites bonds have been fixed at

The first of the two propositions pro-
poses an appropriation of $34,oooyo0o for
the building of one battlesTlip, one arm

the number to 10000. Mr. Clarke says
he had personally visited twenty
places where refugees are located and
has found restitution very great. The

has been done in the Black Sea by the
