NANAIMO, B. c., Sept. IA
Nanaimo Is Mortified today by the
news of a dastardly murder which
was committed last night in Hall
burton street, one of the principal
streets of the city. The crime in
all its details is perhaps as inseu-
safe and brutal as could be con-
ceived.
Gus Carlson and his wife had
been to the theater. They return
ed home about $50 o'clock and
a few minutes later retired to bed.
Some time later they heard a
noise in one of the other rooms
and thinking 1t was cat, Carlsen,
according to the story of his wife,
got out of bed to put 1t out.
Gagged by Masked Men.
The next thing she knew, two
masked men walked into the bed
room and demanded to know
where she kept her money. She
Immediately complied with their
demands and they took all there
was, about 500. They then tied
her hands and feet, gagged her
and left the room.
After working with the gag and
the bonds for some time, she sue
ceeded in slipping the gag off and
at once shouted for assistance.
This was at once forthcoming.
She was freed from her bonds,
and then asked where her hus-
band was. Upon a search being
made he was found lying dead on
the floor of the sitting room. He
had been struck ON the head, but
this was not the cause OF his
death.
The fiends responsible for the
deed had evidently stunned him
as soon as he entered the room
and then, as he lay unconscious,
had tied a slipping rope around
his neck.
Strangled to Death.
The rope had first been drawn
by a moose and then for the rest
of it's length, about eight feet,
coiled as tightly around the neck
as it could be pulled. The man
had been strangled.
Robbery was the only motive
for the crime. An inquest will be
held some time today. So far the
police are without a clew to the
perpetrators.

Picturesque among the men
who made the march to the pole
with Peary is Matthew Henson,
his black bodyguard. Although
Of only moderate height and
weight, Henson has wonderful en-
durance, and his devotion to his
master is unbounded.
Peary ran across Henson in
Nicaragua in 1856, when Peary
was trying to survey a route for
a Nicaraguan canal, and Henson,
boy of IS, applied to him for
work. Henson has remained
with him ever since.
Henson is frequently sent out
in charge of small hunting and
exploring parties, as he has gain
ed a wide knowledge of Arctic
conditions. When Peary made his
last desperate attempt to reacn
the pole in 1906 by forced
marches over the last few hun
dred miles, he let man after man
drop behind. But he kept Black
Mat Henson by his side to the
last.
