tale of starvation and death of COM
rade. He and Jacob Scholtz, also of
Vancouver, left here several weeks ago
on prospecting "Trip, and when miles

killed their dog and ate him and jour
neyed along as we'll as they could to
salt water.
Scholtz, while crossing a small
stream, fell down and was so exhausted
he could not regain his feet. Haynes
was so weak he could render no assist
ance and saw his comrade drown be-
fore his eyes.
Haynes subsisted on what remained
of the dog and what berries he could
gather until he reached the coast,
where he met friendly Indians, who
tended to his wants.
That was three weeks ago, land 1t has
taken him that time to recover his
strength after his hardships.
