The first evidence OF a desire for
gun play was seen one morning when
Jackson displayed a revolver, which
he was rot supposed to be carrying.

Lets fire at a tin can and see who

From subsequent developments It is
evident that this proposition was made
in order to find out whether rlingen-
berg had a revolver or not.
All this time they were hunting
whale and cruising along the Arctic
coast Of the Northwest Territory, ar
irving finally at Prince Albert Land.
For several days there had been no
dispute OF any sort The revolver
was not displayed and all hands were
apparently engaged in their proper
pursuits. But, passing through the
galley. the captain observed that the
cook had saved a great pile Of potato
peels, a somewhat unusual proceeding.
What is this for?' he asked.

JeaIOusies Among the Crew.

August he took charge OF the
schooner; before the end OF Septem-
Der he had to fight for his life and
did not know which man was his
friend and which his foe. This state OF
affairs was entirely due 10 his first
engineer, Jackson Paul, who had
shown a disposition to interfere from
the start.
One day the vessel was caught In the
ice and the fault was the mates.
Jackson-he was ALWAYS called by his
first name-came rushing up on deck
and announced that he was a licensed
man and did not care to have his life
endangered by a man who Was not IL
censed. The captain, looking upon
this as too much OF a liberty even
from the engineer, ordered him astern
with the remark that such conduct
would be liable to lose him his IL
cense."
Again the mate slipped the anchor
and chain, and Jackson interfered,
voicing his opinions unrestrainedly.
He tried TO get the cook into disfavor
with the captain and WAS anything
but complimentary in speaking Of a
big German fellow on board, whom
h.ingenberg says was the best man on
the ship.
The captain did not think anything
of IT, Il was annoying, but he let It
pass. The engineer was an efficient
man in his line. The rest of the crew
being chiefly inefficient.

took aim. KIngenberg reached for his

forth the remark from him that
Jackson must have been a very

was. Marsh found no evidence for
which to hold the captain. and he was
allowed TO go.
The following winter he had trouble
with the company's agent with regard
to the profits from the furs that had
been collected. In order to try to
reach a settlement. KlinEenberg took
all the furs aboard the Thetis. which
was then lying at Point Barrow, and
turned them over to her captain to
make q decision between them. The
captain told them each 20 take half

what ne needed for It. At this time
supplies were none too plentiful and
KIingenberg commanded the cook not
10 give him anything for his whisky.
Shortly after this the vessel was
beached for the purpose OF loading up
with wood. Jackson received orders
to take what distillate he needed for
the engine from the hold before the
wood was put in. Klingenberg sup
posed he had done so, but within a
few days the mate came to him and
said:
Jackson wants distillate again"
Here was a predicament. The wood
could not all be taken out again; the
diEtillate had 10 be gotten; the only
thing to do was to pass it out In
buckets.
Klingenberg spoke to Jackson. repri-
handing him for having failed TO get
up a sufficient quantity when he was
told TO do 50. and said that the only
thing now to be done was to have it
passed up in buckets.
1T can't be done" Jackson retorted
with a sneer.
why can't it be done?" Klingen-
berg demanded.
Because I won't allow it," was the
reply.

an earl:
Alas. sweet wife. my honour Is at pawn;
And. but my going. nothing can redeem Il.
In such case some three
months ago young Danish sea
captain Of the Arctics, Capt. Chris
tan Klingenberg by name, found
himself. Such words as the earl's,
with less rhythm, perhaps, but
with firner intention. he addressed
to his Eskimo wife, mother of
his six children. His going was
alone and the undertaking so dan
gerous that neither white man nor
native believed that he would live
to conSunInate It.
The first mails Of the season
had brought news of his indictment
in San Francisco on several serious
counts, chief among them being
murder and piracy. He did not
want to be an outlaw. To use his
own words, he had nothing to be
an outlaw for" Many a man
would have been content with the
safety that remoteneSS spelled for
him, thousands of miles from the
place Of his indictment. To this
man, that was not even a matter
for consideration.
Therefore he decided without
hesitation, that he must 20 and
face the law, whatever the charges,
whatever the testimony rugged up
against him, whatever the conSe-
quences. There could be no mis-
take as to the Indictment; the San
Francisco, Nome, and Seattle

3-CENT FARE IS DOOMED
Court Has Ruled Against 1t at
Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 16-Judge Law
renee of the Common Pleas Court, rem
dered a decision holding as illegal all
franchises granted by the Council for
so-called Scent fare lines on the East
Side, except a small section construct
ed on East Fourteenth street, which
covers aboue two blocks. The court
held that the franchises for the 3-cent
fares on the West Side wewre valid
because they we're granted prior to
the date upon which Mayor Johnson
was alleged to have become financial
ly interested in the roads.
The decision holds that Mayor John
son is now exonerated of financial in
terest in the low fare companies, his
obligations having been cancelled be
fore the passage of the curative ordi-
nance passed by the City Council,
Aug 8. The evidence exonerated
Mayor Johnson, the court says, from
any bad faith or fraudulent purpose
in the transactions in controversy and
that his motives was to serve the pub
lie by lending his credit to an enter
prise which he considered to be CT
great benefit to the people Of Cleve-
land, but his action in the approval of
these extension ordinances, other
than the Rhodes avenue grant, was
opposed to the common law, which
does not permit one to act as agent
for making a contract affecting his
private interests.

HAVE THE MORMAhS
AN EYE ON RICHMOND
Much of Their Literature Be-
ing Distributed Here.
EXPERIENCE IN ILLINOIS.

Are the Mormons endeavoring TO es-
tablish a mission in Richmond. and
secure a number of followers here?
This is the question that has been
given some thought in this city in the
past few days, due 10 the large influx
of Mormon literature. Little pam
phlets are being circulated everywhere
which are short treatises on the be
liefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. the correct name
for the Mormon body. The books are
entitled The Plan of Salvation" and
although mentioning every other doc
trine and belief of the church. nothing
is said of the marriage custome.
By the action of the Mormon elders
it is thought certain that move on
Richmond is contemplated as the same
mode of procedure was followed by
the elders when an invasion was made
on a number of Illinois cities last
year. The Mormons' advent into the
Illinois towns terminated rather disas-
trously, however. Much of the mater
ial being sent to this city bears the
name of Elder VIM. Henry MCGEE OF
Kirkland, New Mexico. The treatises
are the handiwork of Elder John Nor.
gan of Salt Lake City, Utah.
