warned in the presence of two wit nesses that the rats were there, and after Vim, Cook, as Sachem of the local Redmen's lodge, had asked that the lodge be allowed to take the bodies to their hall to place guards over them and see that nothing happened them. The information and the offer were both disregarded by MT. Snyder, and the bodies were placed in the ware house, the doors were locked and throughout the long, dark hours of thh night the rats were masters of the situation. The next day their work was seen and noticed by all, and one would naturally suppose that the coroner, realizing thai he had made an error in placing the bodies where he had in the first place, would authorize their remo- val, but such was not the case, and for the second night they were left to the mercy of the rats.
 Here are the facts, bare, bald and disgusting. Why this was done, what motive the coroner had in view for so doing, he alone can say, but this fact is patent, not in the wilds of darkest Africa, would the uncivilized black man have al lowed such a condition as that brought about by the representa- tive of United States law here in Wrangell, Court Commissioner A. Y. R. Snyder.

It was with the utmost regret that We read the above upon it's receipt. Ii must be answered, and in doing it we must expose a con- dition we had hoped to conceal from the gaze of the world-a con- dition which is a disgrace to every man in Wrangell, irrespective of position or occupation.
 Thus far we have possibly al- lowed our consideration for the reputation of the community at large to override our better judge ment and have said nothing of this horror wrought in our midst, but now we must own to the truth Everything in the report reaching Scow Bay was true, and there was more even than the report carried.
 The bodies were placed in the warehouse on the wharf here, on the order of Judge Snyder, not withstanding the fact that he was

Editor Sentinel,

EQllOI SSnllu6l,
 Wrangell, Alaska.
 Sir:-There is report in cirCula- ton here which we want you to set tie for us. IL is to the effect that no care was taken of the bodies of Charles Hicks and Harry Appleton at Wrangell recently. that the bod ies were placed without any one on watch in the warehouse on the wharf at Wrangell, which every body in the country knows is in- tested with rats, and that when the time for interment came they were hardly recognizable owing to the depredations of the rodents,
 We can hardly credit the ruth of the report, because we can not believe that the people of Wrangell would allow such a monstrous con- dition to exist; even We rough neck" fishermen hold the dead as sacred to he treated with the ut most respect until returned to Mother Earth.
 Give us the truth in lhe next is- sue of the Sentinel, and oblige us all. A PETERSBURG FISHERMAN.

Hauser Visiting Old Friends.

Arnold Stub Hauser the snappy
little ball player who broke into the
professional game in Dubuque last
season and was drafted by st. Louis,
where he made good from the start
in the infeld, arrived in Dubuque
yesterday, says the Dubuque Times
Journal. for a weeks visit with
friends of both sexes. Hauser lives
in Chicago and when the Three |
meeting was in progress there he met
several of the local magnates and
Clarence Rowland, who was in attend
ance and accepted their invitation
to come over for visit to the town
which sent him to the big league.
Hauser did not play the last week
or ten days with St. Louis on account
of an injury to one of his knees. This
was the reason he was out Of the line
up and not because hi was not fast
enough to stand the pace Hauser
was recognized as one Of the greatest
finds IN the big leagues and there is
hardly short stop in the majors that
could beat him out of his job with
Roger Bresnahan s crew next season.
It will be of interest to Hauser's Du-
buque friends to learn that when
Manager Bresnahan handed him his
next year s contract the salary was
fixed double that he received last
season.
Stub declares Roger Bresnahan
is one of the finest fellows he ever
met and that he has learned lot of
baseball from the manager, Bresnahan
took liking to Hauser from the start
and gave him a show and looks after
him like a father The manager ex
poets great work from the little fellow
next season.
Hauser has warm spot in his heart
for Dubuque ndfans here. This was
his first professional engagement, his
ball playing career before coming
here being confined to games in the
Chicago semi-pro league and a brief
season at Lancaster, Wisconsin, where
Walter Madden discovered him and
recommended him to Dubuque

Surprise Party at G. E. Wards.

The home Of George Ward one
mile west Of Hurricane. was the

9th, the occasion being Mr. Ward s
thirty first birthday.
The surprise was planned by this
wife and in spite of the cold, stormy
weather merry crowd of alb out forty
six neighbors and friends gathered to
help them celebrate.
About eleven o'clock the crowd
began to assemble and by twelve were
all present.
All unsuspecting, Mr.. Ward and
his hired man had gone AS usual to
the field to husk corn, and as the field
was sumo distance from the ouse he
did not see the carriages arrive.
When the noon hour came Frank
Murphy was sent to call the men to
dinner. We did not learn MIR.
Murphy's excuse for being present but
suppose it We plausible one and if
any one ubts Georges being
genuinely sui prised just ask Murphy
what be said when he saw all those
carriages.
Each lady brought we'll filed
ba sket and as any of the Hurricane
ladies can prepare nice dinner alone
when they all unite 1t is beoynd de-
scription.
In behalf of assembled guests Mr.
Flitsch made an appropriate speech in
which he presented Mr. Ward with
nice leather cushioned rocking chair
and that gentleman showed his APP
probation by hearty response
The birthday cake, baked by Mrs.
W. w. Ward was cut in small pieces,
wrapped in paper napkins and
presented to the departing guests as
souvenirs Of the occasion.
George moved here in his early
childhood, grew up among us, married
one of our Beetown girls and settled
down III the old neighborhood.
AS this was the first time we had
the opportunity of all meeting to-
gether in his home we thoroughly
enjoyed it.
The sentiments of the entire crowd
were voiced in the words of one of the
old neighbors when he said, We'll
