Inniditarod. Alaska, Sept. 26.-
The $4,000 in gold dust stolen
from George Friend and his armed
guard by highwaymen last Friday,
was recovered soon after the rob-
berry by a posse which chased the
thieves through the swamps. Close
ly pressed. they were obliged to
abandon the heavy strong box and
the 14O pounds OF metal which It
contained. The reward Of $4,000
offered for the capture Of the rob-
bers was left standing, and after the
gold was found hundreds Of miners
continued to hunt for the criminals.

shelbyville, Ind, Sept. 25.-One
OF the most unusual cases Of suffer
ing that has been called to the at
teasion Of local physicians in years
was that Of Earl Hendrickson, a
young married man who was
brought here yesterday morning
from his home in Washington town
ship by DR.. c. H. Perry. Mr.. Hend-
riskson was suffering from dislo-
Gated jaw bone, the accident having
happened to him early yesterday
morning as he was arising from bed.
An ordinary morning yawn caused
oil the trouble, and the fact that he
Had to be brought to this city to gel
relief indicates that the trouble was
far from Insignificant.
Mr.. Hendrickson is % years old
AID this is the first time he has ev-
or suffered in this way. He was
tumbMng lazily out Of bed yester-
day morning, thinking Of nothing
in particular, when he was struck
by an uncomfortable desire to yawn.
The cape was not one OF the little.
half satisfactory kind, but one that
called for stretching Of every
muscle and tendon in his jaws and
throat. Just when he was thinking
how much satisfaction the opera
tion was going to give him, there
was sudden snap with an excru-
ciatingly painful accompaniment,
and Mr.. Hendrickson quit talking.
He made some horrible noises, how
ever, which called the attention OF
other members of his family to his
and he was at once
hurried to the office of DR.. C. H. |
Perry at Lewis Creek. three miles
away. BY the time he reached there
the muscles of his jaw had become
set so thoroughly that DR.. Perry
was not able to reduce the disloca-
ton, even by tine most strenuous
efforts of which he was capable. DR..
Perry is somewhat Of giant physi-
.ally, but the dislocation obstinately
refused to yield, and the sufferer
vas hurried to this city. DR.. H. G.
Sexton, the we'll known dentist, was
irst consulted, but he was not able
% throw much light on the case, nor
lid the dislocation yield to the COM
lined efforts Of himself and DR..
Perry, and the patient was finally
aiken to the Office of DR.. w. C. Nc

Element OF the controversy between
Turkey and italy over Tripoli. Ger
many regards hostilities between

Buggy Whip Saves Ice Cream

A large number of boys from the
high school gathered together Friday
night and went over to the A. C.
Doolittle home on the hill north Of
town to harry the freshmen who
were holding a class party at the
Doolittle home. The boys succeed
ed In purloining three gallon can
Of ice cream from the house by rails

to do SO. They finally made them
selves SO obnoxious that Policeman
Jewett was telephoned for and BY q
threatened use Of his chilly" finally
made the boys leave the vicinity.
The freshmen, not to miss their con-
templated ice cream treat, sent three
or four Of the party over town and
secured new supply. The boys
who had been driven from the vicin-
ity of the freshmen gathering under
took to intercept those who had
come after the cream and capture

probable that the real strike order

G. Rogers, when giving notice Of

The opinion Of every miner in
