MAN
 FROM CLAIM

Jealous of her husbands interests, Mrs. Felix Pedro yesterday attempted to stop A. L. Hanot from further op- erating on discovery, Pedro creek, which is jointly owned by Pedro and Hanot, by appearing with rifle and ordering Hanot and his men off the claim.
 Mrs. Pedro first appeared in the engine room and warned the engineer J. c. Woods, to quit the place, and pon his refusal to obey, the woman procured rifle and the assistance c" her nephew armed in a similar manner and forced Woods to vacate without giving 'im a chance to even close the boile. and get his hat and coat. Josh Vance, of this city, who was visiting with Woods was accord ed the same treatment and did not
 ,p to argue with the lady.
 When he heard of the occurance hanot sought to interfere, but when confronted with the array of arms thought better of it and hunted ur adeputy marshal.
 When Captain Donovan arrived both Pedro and the nephew had left for town, but he found the woman and brought her in, arriving here late yesterday afternoon.
 Since the marriage of Pedro to his present wife, an arrangement has sprung up between him and his part Ter Hanot, which finally resulted ir Hanot beginning an action to dissolve the partnership.-Tanana Tribune.

middle by stout beam. To this beam the boys fastened a strip of walrus skin, at the end of which dan gled anoose. They helped their father to the edge of the bunk, fas- tened the moose about his neck, and let him swing off his high bed and strangle to death.
 These people are not cruel. No more affectionate people can be found in the world than the Eskimos. Blows are seldom struck; harsh words are seldom uttered. But until quite re- gently the ending of hopeless suffer- ing by suicide by killing the pa tient was the universal rule all over the Arctic world. To kill a suffering relative or friend was considered an act of kindness and mercy, just as we consider it an act of mercy to kill animals we know cannot recover
 This may recall the Spartan par ents who left their weak or deformed children on the mountain side to die. But such cruelty is unknown in Es- kimo society-the children here are sacred and the most unfortunate and misshapen are given the tenderest care. Nevertheless when death was plainly approaching and the sufferer asked to be relieved, his request was always granted. Even infants were thus put out of pain. Although there Is none of the conspicuous demonstra- ton of grief that characterizes the saddest moments of a more impulsive people, the sorrow for the dead in an Eskimo household is just as bitter as in any refined home in the world
 In spite of the ruling white mans Ideas concerning the taking of life in this way, the Eskimos still more than half believe in it. The ordinary death is reported as follows: "He died himself" This means that he" died without the affairs being hurried along either by his own hand or that of friend or relatiye.-Seat' tie P.-I.

WAINWRIGHT, Arctic, Aka, March S.-(Special) )-That the custom among the Eskimos of making away with helpless invalids and the aged to whom life has become a burden is not yet altogether abandoned, is proved by at least two instances dur ing the present year. The last case has just been reported from the Col vile river country. An old man Tillemut was the willing victim of this custom that runs back through ages of the dim, legendary history of these people.
 Tillemut was an old man. For years he had carried more than his share of tuberculosis. The wonder. full vitality of these people enables them to resist this dread disease for many years, sometimes for half a century. But 1t was telling on this old man. He lay on his bunk and coughed miserably, and he knew that he would never be we'll again. So he called his children around him and told them that he wanted to die. He reached for the old Hudson Bay gun that he had carried since boyhood. He cooked it and handed it to his eldest son, telling him to put him out of pain. But the boy had been told by the whites somewhere that it was q sin to kill in this way, and he refused to grant his fathers last re. GueSt. The others also refused. Then the aged Tillemut took the weapon, placed the mu22le In his mouth, and touched the trigger with his toe.
 On the Russian Diomede, an Is. land in Boring strait, another old man met death in somewhat similar manner. In this Diomede case, however, the sons obeyed the father implicitly. This was the reg ular old Eskimo death. There was no shooting. It was in a large igloo, the roof of which is supported in the

pleasure your splendid lecture on the

as one of the best lectures | ever heard
both as to composition and delivery.
The audience was entertained and in
structed from start 70 finsih, and
your inimitable style ADDS much to the
subject. 1t was indeed timely for some
one to give a history of the Klu Klux
Khan, that splendid and patriotic order
which did so much for u people and
section during the evil days of recon-
strIction.
Your lecture is most timely. and
should be heard by the people both
north and south, since it will give the
true history of and do simple justice to
the southern patriots who founded the
order.
