STEPPED INTO COFFIN
CHASTITY Experience Of Spok-
ane Boy.

Spokane, Wash, Spet. 5--Robert
Yarrow, son of James Yarrow, who
lives at E street and Emerald avenue.
yesterday while walking along the
line OF an old ditch from HiIIyard
to his home had the startling ex-
perience of stepping into a coffin
containing an infants body, which
was but thinly covered In the dirt
thrown up from the digging.
The ditch has been dug for some
time, and has now grown up to weeds,
but it still forms a good pootpath.
and as he strobe along Yarrow ran
his foot through what he supposed
was solid ground, and found it knee
deep into small box. AS he drew
his foot up some clothing was torn
loose and came to light also. A mo
ments' search showed it to be the
clothing If an infant, and with this
knowledge the young man ran from
the place terrified and to his home,
where the information was sent in to
the police.
Coroner f. p. Witter was notified
at once and made trip to the scene.
Speaking of the finding of the body,
he said:
"When / arrived | found a small
goods box buried in a shallow grave.
and containing baby's clothing and
the bone of one leg and a portion Of
a child's skull | should Judge the
child could not have been more than
few months old, as at that age the
bones are not yet ossified, and the
only hard portions are at the joints
of the larger bones and spot in the
skull. There was nothing to show the
identity. The BODY must have lain
there over a year.
ut is probably a case of early
death, where the parents did not feel
they could afford funeral, and the
ditch was probably just freshly dug,
which led them to bury it there,
where there could be no suspicion on
account of the dirt being newly dug.
The ditch seems to have been put
through two yaers or longer ago, and
is now grown up to weeds. -

ST. JOE AND ST. MARES

W. W. Leeper, of the State
Trust d Investment company
returned last night after
spending several days at st. Joe and
St. Maries, which places, he claims,
are growing very rapidly and have a
most promising outlook. He be-
lieves both will make good towns,
but is more inclined to favor St.
Maries.
At st. Joe several hundred houses
will be constructed by the railroad
company as residences for employees.
Many of these are already complet-
ed and others are in the course Of err
ectlon. The new town will have a
hardware store within a few days, be-
sides bank, a furniture store and
a bakery.
The bank will open for work about
Saturday. A large pulp mill will
be constructed and is expected to be
ready for work before the cad Of two
years. Already the company is said
to be offering $500 per thous-
and for cottonwood timber ON the
ground or stumpage. 1t is said the
company requires two years before
it will be expected to remove any Of
this timber. TIE new mill, together
with the pulp mill, 1t is claimed,
will find employment for 400 men.
One mill alone will turn out JOG,
600 feet per day. A saw mill is al
ready in operation. 1t is claimed
the town is both trough and tough"
but the new deputy sheriff recently
appointed is expected to straighten
out matters. 1t il said the tough
characters usually cnnfine their
operati Ons to members of their own
crowd, but 1t is not thought they
would scruple ito ROLL others.
81. Maries is making steady and
permanent growth. A large tract Of
land across the river has been sub
divided and placed upon the market.
The town lie building on the hill and
constructing bricks. Already sever
al blocks are in the course Of erection
or contracts let. On Ninth street,
on opposite corners, will be four
largh brick blocks. One will be
occupied by bank, another by the
Colquhoun Hardware company, a
third by large mercantile establish
men and the last by the SHELTON 4
Warren company. The boat landing
will be moved down the river from
its present location to Ninth street. |
The water is good, it being gotten |
within. a few feet Of the surface on |
the hill side. A spring supplies the
water for the reservoir of the city. |

ROB ALASKAN MAILS.
Thieves Make Third Big Haul With
In a Month.

Seattle, Aug. ga Fairbanks,
Alaska, special says: What is be-
lieved TO be the biggest plot for rob-
bing the United States mails ever
discovered is now in operation in
Alaska. Only yesterday word was
received from the coast that the
third pouch missing in a month had
been reported at Skagway. The sack
contained $4,000 in gold dust ad-
dressed 10 Seattle banks.
Postofiice inspectors already In
the North working on the two form
er robberies, have taken up the latest
loss. IL Is almost certain that the
sacks were stolen while in transit
on the Yukon river boats plying be-
tween this point and Dawson. Sew
.eral men are under suspicion. but no
arrests have been made. Reliable
elews are scarce.
Ever since gold dust shippers have
decided TO use the mails for sending
out their metal, instead of patron
.izing the express companies, as they
previously did, because OF the in
creased tarifI, the present trouble
has existed, II will necessitate the
employment Of guards by the govern
ment 10 watch the gold shipments.
AS they have been practically un-
guarded up 10 late, robberies have
been easy. and IL is believed that
the thefts have resulted from sys-
tematic operations OF bandits work
