river, putting Burpee in charge. When
the invoices were taken a few months
later Shoff declared that Burpec had
robbed him of more than *15,eO0,
money that could actually be account
ed for as having been taken by Burpee.
Before Shoff made his discoveries,
John Burpee, brother of Isaac, who
had been assistant postmaster at
Dawson, had been arrested for OPEN
ne hundreds of letters in the Dawson
postoftice. but the family exerted so
much influence at the trial that the
plea entered by John Burpee's attor-
neys that he was insane. was sus-
tanned. He was remanded into the
custody of Isaac Burpee. The two
started for the United States and were
in this country together, one of them
stopping at the Stevens house and the
other at the Northern. During their
stay they were frequent patrons of
saloon on First avenue that was owned
nv a cousin of Shoff This cousin, a
day or two after the Burpees had dis
appeared, received word from Shoff
that he had been robbed by Isaac
Bnrpee and asking if the latter could
not be located in the United States.
The long search for the Burpee
brothers began at this time. Both
brothers had gone to the st. Louis ex-
position.

LION AND BULL.
A Fight Being Prepared for King A.
fonso.

King Alfonso of Spain will witness
a most extraordinary bull fight at San
Sebastian as soon as the chief partic-
ipant, lion, is sufficiently trained.
The unusual spectacle is intended to
open the new bull ring at the watering
place, which has seats for 10000.
The lion selected is a real king of the
desert. He was caught by Hagenbeck
especially for the purpose, at least Ha-
genbeck says so, and has never been
exhibited.
This is the mode Of training the lion
for the bull fight: After the king of
the desert has been allowed to hunger
for three days an old COW was pushed
in his cage. The COW came from good
fighting stock and did not allow her
self to be eaten without struggle
Three days later another COW was
sent in which had even a better record
for liveliness. Again the lion got buff
feted around at an uncomfortable pace
and again he had a good meal. Thus,
gradually, the king of the desert is be-
ing trained to pay for his dinner by a
stiff fight. If he had been confronted
at once by a real fighting bull, he
might have been frightened from at
tack.
The battle will take place in a cage
containing SIS square feet. The bull
which is to fight the lion is a beautiful
animal, six years old, with an immense
neck and sharp horns, standing out
five feet at each side.

the railroads are being organized to

prises. One of the recently organized
companies is the Southwestern Colo
nization company, with ii capital OF
$4,000 which will cooperate with
the Frisco system and other roads in
Texas, notably the st. Louis, Brown
vile & Mexico.
The colonization company will aid
in developing a tract of about $780,
600 acres of land lying along the gulf
coast, and which will be sold at prices
ranging from SO to IS per acre.

BARRED By MERGER CASE.
Root Says He Can't Be GubenatoriaI
Candidate and J. J. Hills Counsel.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Because he
is leading counsel for ]. J. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern, in the liti-
cation growing out of the Northern
Securities company, Elhu Root, for
mer secretary of war, declined to be-
come a candidate for governor of New
York.
This explanation is made by person
al and political friends of Mr.. Root,
who says his position would be unten-
able should he, while leading counsel
for the merger company, enter the
campaign for the governorship with
his party standing on the record made
by President Roosevelt in securing the
dissolution of the Northern Securities
company. AS Mr.. Root resigned from
the cabinet to resume the practice of
law, he does not see his way clear to
throwing down his first big case to
run for governor of New York.
Mr.. Roots attitude as member of
the cabinet and his part in bringing
about the prosecution of the Northern
Securities company does not affect his
value to Mr.. Hill and the company in
the pending litigation. He is now act
ing in his capacity as a private citizen
and without embarrassing in the
slightest either the president or the de-
partment of justice.

DETECTIVE M. n. WELI'
NORTH WITH EMBEzzLER
ISAAC BURPEE.
After Iona Chase the Dawson Sw'nd
Ter Is Run Down N
Missouri.

SEATTLE. Aug en-. II. Welch,
chief of the detective department VI
the Canadian northwestern mounted
,,o,ice arrived at the Northern on
Thursday night from ST. Louis, having
in custody Isaac w. Burpee, charged
with the embezzlement of more than
800. 900 belonging to his partner, En-
nest Shof, and with having fled the
country. Officer and prisoner started
for Dawson on the steamer Seattle
yesterday morning.
The arrest of Burpee at Linden,
Mo, a town where he was total
stranger and where he had never Wis
tied in his life before, is claimed by de-
tectiyes to have been one Of the most
remarkable displays of intuitive de-
tective work ever accomplished. Inc
account of this work is as follows
Burpee fled from Dawson, was
traced to this city, then to Victoria,
where he announced that he was going
to his old home in ST. Johns, n. b.
But he never reached St. Johns. De-
tectives detailed to watch that end OF
the supposed journey never got clue
AS to Burpee's whereabouts after he
was seen in Victoria. These condi-
tons We're reported back to Seattle.
A consultation was held between a rel
ative of Snoff, the man who was said
to have lost the money through the
regulations of Burpee, and Superin-
tendent p X. Ahern of the Pinkerton
agency in this city.
Crosses Line Again.
The PinkertOn men resumed the
search for clues in Victoria, and 1t
was ascertained that Burpee had

and had taken a Great Northern train.
but to what point could not be learned.
Another conference was held, and the
question was again asked, Where did
Burpee goo" A man who took part in
the conference said: "Burpee went to
the St Louis exposition The man
who made the suggestion was laughed
down at first and was taken seriously
later SO much confidence had the
friend and relative of Shoff. the vic
tim, in this intuitive hypothesis that
he offered to allow SIS per day and the
expenses of Pinkerton men to watch
the registers, depots and exposition
buildings in ST. Louis. The man was
located at the exposition, and was fol-
lowed to Linden, Mo, where he was
arrested.
Burpee fought extradition With all
his might. employing the best availa-
BILE counsel in his fight. On four differ
ent counts the Missouri courts decided
he could not be extradited, but he
lost on the fifth count brought
against him. This explains why De-
tective Welch was from May until now
in getting his prisoner as far as Seat
tie on the return home.
