LITTLE GIRL
 SHOWS BRAVERY
Nuggets Special Service.


 BINGHAMPTON, June 15.-Little Widen Moore, aged ten years, showed great presence of mind and bravery today by saving her home from being footed by two masked robbers.
 Though the house is situated in a lonely part of the town, the child had been left alone to guard it, the family never thinking of any danger result ing.
 Undoubtedly the conditions were known to outsiders, for the little girl had not been alone more than fifteen minutes when two masked men were seen approaching the house from the rear. The child was much frightened, but hurriedly ran to her fathers room, where she secured his revolver. When the men walked in the back door the little tot was there to meet them, and in a half-quivering yet determined manner she ordered the men to leave her home. When they hesitated she threatened to shoot, and fearing that she would be as good as her word they beat a nasty retreat.

THIEF
 CAPTURED

The people who happened to be on Front street in the vicinity of Lanes way last night, about II o'clock, were startled by seeing A. J. Mueller, the jeweler. hatless and coatless, pursuing q heavy-set man, dressed in blue suit, along the former thoroughfare shouting at the top of his voice, Stop, thief" Down Lanes way toward the beach went the man in blue, while Mueller returned to his store. George Stanley, secretary of the Nome Tour Buffers drug store, took up the pur- suit. He soon caught the man, and, together with a tray containing sixty four valuable nugget pins, started back to Front street with him. Reach ing the latter, Dr. Ed. E. Hill, the city health officer who is a police officer as well, was encountered, he having been attracted by the crowd. To this off, cial Mir. Stanley turned over his pris- oner, who in turn headed him for the jail On the way Officer Standley came up, and with his assistance the culprit was safely landed behind the bars and a charge of grand larceny put against his name, which he gave as Thomas Welch. Dr. Hill recognizes him as a San Francisco character, who, when he was police surgeon of that city. in 1S97-9S, went by the name of Stephens.
 In answer to a severe examination he denied having any accomplice, but it is believed he is one of a gang of crooks who have recently come from the burned city, whence they have been driven out by the police.
 While MT. Mueller was in his work shop the thief noiselessly opened the front door and crept stealthily into the unlighted door. In this crouching pos ture he slipped the door of the show window back and extracted what first came to his hand, the tray of nugget pins. The opening of the case at- tracted MT. Mueller, and he looked out just in time to see the rObber sneak ing out through the door. He rushed in hot pursuit, as above stated. The prisoner was given a hearing before U. $. Commissioner Fuller this morn- ing He waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury, bail

 FOUL PLAY
Nuggets Special Service.

NORFOLK, June 15.-The remain der of the bodies of the missing sailors have been recovered. Three of them were found two days ago, and this morning eleven more were picked up.

 He states that Cane crec.. on which the pay is reported to have been found, is more like a river than a creek, and he believes it possible for light draught river boats to ascend .he Innoko to the mouth of that stream.
 The Innoko country is well wooded, and it is possible for good hunter to secure considerabl. game. A report which reached St. Michael before MT. Bayne left that place was to the effect that at least thirty .one claims had been staked above discovery. and that below.
