wreck near that place last week. while
driving to town for a doctor. He dis
covered that a railroad culvert had

Henks sprang out of his wagon and
with a club killed his dog, that had
followed the team. 1t was a fat dog
and. cutting the body up hastily,
Henks creased the track with it for
several rods down the sharp grade
south of the crossing and drove on
his way at gallop. The heavy train
was stopped by the slipping of the
wheels, and the trainmen discovered
the burned culvert.

STORY OF ROBBERY
 UP THE YUKON

A story was circulated on the arrival here of the Seattle No. : last Friday night. to the effect that there had been a sensational rob- bery at Yannett's, below Fort Yukon.
 According to the report two men in small boat landed and robbed the place during Yannett's absence The latter returned in time to see the two men making off i'll the boat, but did not discover the rob- bery till they were out of range. The steamboat coming along soon after, Yannett boarded it with a canoe and was landed below the marauders, there to await their coming and either capture or kill them.
 This story was generally credited at first and lookout on the river was kept up, but later the belief became general that it is false.
 The officers of the steamboat said nothing of such an occurrence. Charley Anderson has since arrived and knows nothing of it.
 Norman Marion was a passenger on the Seattle No. } and it is said he told the story around town as the truth.

 It is quite generally understood that the chief signal officer has op- posed measures tending to popular ize the service in Alaska, and has stoutly contended that the lines are primarily and essentially military in character. Under the circumstances. therefore. it is not surprising that when a Rampant gentleman sug- gested to him yesterday that the main line should include this place. instead of serving it with a spur. as at present. the general. in effect. said with some asperily. that Ram part bad better be damned glad to have any service at all

DORIC MINING MAN
 BOUND OUTSIDE
H. +. Thumm to See the Fair and Perhaps Remain Out
 All Winter.

H. F. Thumm, one of the best known and most successful mining men of the district. took passage on the Sarah last night for St. Michael and the outside.
 It is likely MT. Thumm will re- main out for the winter. He hopes to spend short time in looking over the methods of the most sue cessful mining operators at Nome, and will go thence to Seattle for a short stay, to Portland for look at the big fair, and then will continue his journey on to Hot Strings, Ark, where he will have his physical structure adjusted to the conditions prevailing in the States.
 MT. Thumm's many friends hope and believe he will thoroughly en- joy a renewed acquaintance with the many luxuries from which he has so long been separated.
 It is surmised by some that busi- ness will claim lot of Mir Thumm s attention before his return to the far no:th. It is we'll known that he is keenly alive to the increased profit that might be derived frora his own and neighboring ground by adopting more modern methods treating the gravel. The fact that he has had preliminary surveys made for extensive ditching enter prises is supposed to take on new meaning.
