Mountain, in the Bullfrog mining dis
trict, is said to be the hiding place of
Walter Scott, who recently broke the
railroad record from Los Angeles,
Cal, to Chicago.
Last night there was stampede to
get to the Bullfrog district.
A hundred expeditions are fitting
out and before Scotty can reach the
spot from San Francisco, it is pre-
dicted the mine will be discovered and
all the surrounding country staked
out.
w. T. Miles has arrived in Bullfrog
from sixty-five miles southeast of
Furnace Creek ranch, where ne says
ne found a chasm surrounded on
three sides by towering walls. This,
he said, was Scotty's hiding place.
1t was strewn with broken cham
payne bottles, boxes of canned goods
and cooking utensils, and bore evil
dence Of having been visited recently.
A satchel full of clothing and papers
identifying the owner as Scott was
also found.

THREATS OF TAR.
Spectacular Maine Religion Results
That Make Natives Cross.

BOYD LAKE, Me-, Sept. 4.-Elder
Thomas Francis, or Honest Father
Francis" as he is called by converts
to his new religion, has been asked by
a delegation Of orthodox residents of
this hamlet to leave or run mis-
chances of getting a coat of tar. The
elder says che will squat right where
he isl
Francis, who is the son of an Or
dained minister now preaching at
Atnol, Mass arrived at Boyd Lake
last spring and went to live with Mr..
and Mrs. Freeland H. Gilman.
The religion taught by the new
conner was so spectacular that Rev.
William Bradeen's whole congrega-
ton, Baptist, including the dominic
himself, went over to the opposition
in a body.
The elder teaches a theory that all
souls are one, that purity of heart is
everything, and that in view of this
sects should be abandoned. Free
love charges were made when the Ell.
der and the Baptist dominic threw
their arms about each others neck
and rolled on the floor where they
Rugged each other in the dust and
loudly called on the Lord to bear
witness to their joy.
The first real setback the new
creed got was when Ethel Marsh died
in a trance, brought on after a par
ticularly exciting meeting. DR.. L. c.
Ford of Milo was sent for and dag
nosed the case as sub -acute meningi-
tbs.
the same week another girl, Miss
Bernice Gilman, daughter of the fus
band and wife, with whom Francis
was living, came down With the same
illness shortly after one of the most
exciting meetings..

PERFORMED OWN OPERATION.
Veteran Tells of Heroic Deed In a
Southern Hospital.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. A.
Man does not yield himself to the
angels, nor unto death utterly, save
only through the weakness of his
feeble will
The words with which Poe began
his weird tale of 'Ligeia'' have been
proved in the case of ]. w. January,
a veteran of the civil war. Dying by
inches of gangrene, in a southern pris-
son pen, refused an operation by the
surgean, who declared that he could
not survive it, January obtained a
broken knife from one of his guards
and cut off both his feet five inches
above the ankle.
No other man in that prison recov-
cred from the disease, even with an
operation, but January, then a boy of
IS, held death at arms length by the
mere strength Of his will, and today
in spite of the loss of both feet is a
vigorous and active man.
Speaking of his experience he says
My recovery was due largely to my
youth and strong constitution, but
more I think, to my determination
not to die. This was the one thought
in my mind. The surgeon in charge of
the hospital at Florence, S. c.,
where the disease seized me, told me
that did not have three days to live,
and that an operation would be a
needless piece Of mutiliation 1 said:
needless piece of mutulation. 1 said,
Doctor L won't die. The rebel pen is
not built that 1 would die in AMI !
meant it, and knew that it was true.
When I was released at the end Of
the war weighed forty-five pounds.

caused as much excitement in finan-

Gambling Losses OF Ais NOW Under
Investigation.
MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 4.-Cnarles
Allis, well-known capitalist of this
city, and a son of the late E. P. Allis
and brother of William w. Allis, was
among the principal witnesses before
the grand jury today.
He is said to have testified on his
family's alleged recent experiences
with certain Milwaukee gambling
men in whose house his brother Will
liam is said to have lost in one week
sums aggregating $4,000. Efforts to
recover these losses proving inef-
fectua1, the matter was reported to
Chief of Police Jansen, who meeting
with like failure, proceeded to take
steps to raid the gambling houses of
the city.

the chiefs intentions forestalled him,
raiding the houses himself ten days
ago with the assistance of the sheriff;
two hours before the hour set by the
chief
John L. Slaughter, proprietor of

for the Office of chief of police when
Chief Jansen was successful in get-

ferred to the south side, where his
talents have found little to work
upon. Schneider was given permits
sion three weeks ago to resign from
the force when charges had been pre-
ferred against him.
