He had noted the four quiet men sink
ing shaft close by the stream, and
he had heard their whip-saw going as
they made lumber for the sluice boxes.
He did not wait for an invitation, but
he was present the first day they
sluiced And at the end of five hours
shoveling for one man, he saw them
take out thirteen ounces and half OF
gold. 1t was coarse gold, running from
pinheads to a twelve-dollar nugget,
and 1t had come from off bedrock.
The first fall snow was flying that day,
and the Arctic winter was closing
down; but Daylight had no eyes for
the bleak-gray sadness of the dying,
short-lived summer. He saw his Wis

the mouth of Klondike. he found in it
Kama, the Indian chief he had left at
Dyea. Kama was travelling by ca
noe. bringing in the last mail of the
year. In his possession was some two
hundred dollars in gold-dust. which
Daylight Immediately borrowed. In
return. he arranged to stake a claim
for him, which he was to record when
he passed through Forty Mile. When
Kama departed next morning. he car
ried number of letters for Daylight
addressed to all the old-timers down
river, in which they were urged To
come up Immediately and stake. Also
Kama carried letters of similar import
given him by the other men on DO

When the sheriff called yesterday

the sheriff hit the high Places" He
called not at the homes of the lowly'
but at the homes of women whose hus-
bands, the majority of them, can write
their checks in large figures. When
that Jury gets in the box, Saturday,
it will include the leaders of society
in Independence. A few of the women
were active in working for equal suf-

A man named Jim Blue is charged
with firing a shot through the window
of an interurban car, recently, near
CherryvaIe, and thereby endangering
the lives of passengers.

cuted by the county attorney and

want to have a look in to see how the
juroresses performed their new duties
of citizenship.

WAS COWBOY PREACHER.
Rev. j. B. SchIichter Was a Pioneer in
Kansas Ministry.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec 12.-Now
retired from active ministry, but ever
ready to respond to the call for SER
vice, Notwithstanding his 81 years,
Rev. J. B. Schlichter, the pioneer
preacher of the plains, is now making
his home in Hutchinson with his
daughter, Mrs. J. s. Simpson, and her
husband.
Forty-one years ago, when only a
few rude pine box house settlements
were to be found in central and west
ern Kansas, and when herds of buffalo
and bands of wild Indians were more
common than cattle or farmers, Rev.
Schlichter rode the prairies, preaching
the gospel to the cowboy, the soldier
and the frontiersman.
AS a Congregational missionary pas
tor he was the first to carry the gospel
through this section of Kansas and his
mission field took in such a scope of
country that it was necessary for him
to Tide 1000 miles or more to get
around to all his little charges.

FIVE WANT PRISONER
United states Convict Wanted in Many
States on Is Robbery Charges.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 12.-When
Fred Boll1e, alias Carl Miller, leaves the
United States penitentiary today he will
be met by five Officers who are
here contending for his custody.
Miller is wanted in Chicago on fifteen
different charges of robbing express
offices. He is wanted at Madison, Wis,
on a charge of robbing the postoffice,
and at Waukesha, Wis, on a charge
of passing forged money orders. He
is completing a sentence of SO months
imposed at st. Paul, for robbing a
Minnesota postOffice.
There is considerable speculat ton
among the officers as to who will get
the custody of Bolke, but all incline to
the belief that the United States mar
shall holds the winning hand. Bolke
will committed to the Leavenworth
county Jail until the matter is decided
by Judge Pollock tomorrow afternoon.
BOlke has a long criminal record as
a pOstoffice and express robber in and

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Experiments in Feeding Hogs Proves
Beet Value.

Larned, Kan, Dec. 12.-Recent ex-
periments lead to the belief that sugar
come a big industry in the Arkansas
valley. OF fifty animals the older
ones were put on alfalfa till Septem-
Der and then given the beet diet. The
younger ones were given corn and
shorts for six weeks, when beets were
substituted. An actual cash outlay of
$120 for beets, $3.50 for corn and $50
for shorts fattened the herd till they
Melted slightly over $1,000 above
freight and commission. The expert
ment proved highly successful even
after allowing the market value of
$500 for the beets or the labor value
of $50 an acre for the ground used in
raising them. a diet of corn or blue
barley to make the beet fat firm was
proven imperative by a coordinate
experiment on beet diet alone. The
fifty hogs averaged 800 pounds but
shrunk an average of over so pounds
on travelling 200 miles.

had no idea where they were located.

S. O. Snuff and daughter, Miss Stella,
came to Hutchinson to be guests of
Mrs. Shuff's sister, Mrs. G. G. Jeffries,

Jeffries learned that there was man
by the name of Snuff in Hutchinson,
B. F. Snuff, running a grocery store
on Bismarck street, and she remarked
to her brother-in-laW that he might be
a relative.
The latter hunted up and found,
to his great joy, that he is one of his
long missing nephews, his own broth
er's SON. And from him learned that
his brothers widow, Mrs E. A. Snuff,
whom he had not seen since 1856,
that three more of his long lost
nephews. whom he had never seen,
John, James and Edwin, all live in
and near Sylvia.
