then we were out OF. business sstFs
enough. The boat was landed, made
we'll fast, the wheel stripped and the
shaft put on the bank. We had at
that time about 100 deckers that I
had secured on my trips, and we were
within 90 miles of their destination.
These we re-sllipped on the steamer
Katie p Kountz The cabin passen-.
gers remained whit us. She met with
ia yaw1 crew, took the chief engineer
10 Yankton, the nearest railroad point
and he left for St. Louis to have
new shaft made.
The brute Sioux Indian agency was
about two and one-half miles from
the boat and at that point some 5000
Indians drew their ratfons, etc. rhe
steward cut the meals down to
two each day TO save provisions and
we settled down to the monotony
None OF us ventured very far from
the boat for fear OF the Indians. Al
ter remaining there 81 days we once
more started on our trip.
Capt John Atkins, of Alton, one OF
the owners of the boat, was making
the trip on the boat and as there was
danger OF the river becoming too low
for US TO reach Benton, he and all
the crew had a case of dependency
Well, after fighting the various rap
ids above the mouth of the Yellow
stone and paying as much as Sfe for
cord Of wood we finally reached
Benton on the 9th Of July: three
months and two days out from ST
Louis. AS great deal of the cargo
in the hold of the boat had become
damaged it required nearly one week
to deliver it, as some had to be re
weighed and boards OF arbitration
held to assess the damages. At this
place there occurred an incident that
| think never had its equal in the his
tory OF river boats: Capt Thos.
Townsend went before the L. s,
military post and preferred charges
of mutiny against Capt. Atkins, the
owner of the boat, and Chas. Me
Cleery and his wife, who were round
trip passengers on the boat. This
charge was sustained and they were
put off the boat and took passage on
the steamer Red Cloud for Bismarck
which boat was lying there also. We
left Benton on July 10th with a cargo
of buffalo robes and sacks of silver
ore.
Upon arriving at Bismarck Capt.
Townsend resigned his position and
Commodore Ed Montgomery, of
Confederate navy fame, was placed
in charge. We picked up trip of
wheat in the lower end of the river,
and got back to St Louis the first
week in August. About four months
on the trip.

SECRET
SERVICE MAN
COLORADO MINER FIRES AT
GOVERNMENT OFFICER
Staying Justified, According to Report
I of company-says Employees
Were Shot at by
Sleuth
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo, Nov Sword reached
here tonight that James Walker, a
shot and killed today by an employe of
the Hesperus mine, located several miles
west of Durango. The shooting occurred
at the mouth of the air shaft of the mine
and is said to have been done in self
defense.
The Hesperus mine is owned by the
Porter Fuel company and c. G. Dorsey,
attorney for the company, was notified
of the killing today. His report of the
affair which he says is trustworthy
clearly justifies the shooting.
1t seems the government agents have
been in the Durango country for several
days gathering evidence to be used in
prosecuting persons indicted for fraudu-
lent entries >on coal lands.
This being Sunday, no work was IN
progress in the Hesperus mine and sew
eral of the miners were strolling over
the company's property, and on approach
ing the air. shaft, isolated from the rest
of the workings, a man who was stand
ing at the mouth of the shaft, ordered
them to halt. The miners thought he
was Joking and did not obey, whereupon,
according to Dorsey's story, the man
fired, the bullet passing close to the
head of one of the miners The latter
whipped out a revolver and returned the
fire, killing the man instantly.
Investigation developed that he was
Walker Further investigation showed
that rope ladder had been let down
into the mine, and this was hauled to
the surface. Some time afterward three
men, all government agents, appeared at
the mine entrance, being unable to make
exits any other way.
Dorsey says there was no reason LOT
the secret service men entering the Hes
perus mine, as the title to the property
is not questioned, and their act was
simple trespass.

SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 3-Fire thought to
have originated in the ceiling over the
range in the Pacific Ocean house caused
a tank of fuel oil to explode on top of
the hotel today. The big caravansary
was soon enveloped in flames A few
small frame buildings at the rear of the

business houses adjacent.
1t took three hours to control the
flames. For a while conditions seemed
so menacing that special train was
telegraphed for to bring Watsonville fire
engines to the assistance of the local
firemen. This was countermanded when
it was found to be unnecessary.
The Pacific Ocean house, which is a
total loss, was the property of the F. A.
