THE FALL OF A NEW
 YORK PRISON SLAYER


 An annual subsidy in Austria of S25O,0O0 a year to encourage the basket industry in penal institutions after almost destroying a prosperous town in Central New York. finally led to an insidious form of indus trial feudalism. To regain his former profits, the chief manufactur- CT of baskets in this town decided to follow the example of the Aus trians, and have his willows stripped at the Onondaga penitentiary. al though the state constitution pro- vides for state use of convict made goods
 His partner induced the town su- pervisor to enter into contract with the county penitentiary in the name of the town for the peeling of all willow which the town poor could not do. Then the poor folks of the town writes E. Stagg Whitin. of the national committee on prison la bor. in the Survey. enjoyed the proud distinction of being allowed to work on the baskets, not eight hours. not ten, but twelve. thirteen fourteen, fifteen and sixteen The work being done at home, there is no factory restriction. The baby of 3 does what it can while it sucks the end of the willow. The old blind grandmother tells her beads at the turn of the basket All combined they are thankful to make $2 a day. The prison shaver owns the mortgages on most of the houses in the town. and sets the wages as we'll as the interest on the mort gages according to his needs. His is the power, not only of the lord of the manor. but as sheriff of the i'm perial authority of the state. But the end is near. Investigation proved through an accident that a secret rebate was paid from the amount the contractor paid to the county. The governor has assumed jurisdic- tion and proved that justice can prevail"

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15.-Re- ceived Monday Sept l6.. 5:55 D. m. T homas H. Beaumont has been turned over to the federal commis- sioner by Charlotte O'Hara. Is. of Scranton. Pa. The comedy young girl answered an advertisement put in New York paper by the Fort Yukon trader. The advertisement called for had some experience in that line. she applied for the position. From Baltimore. Beaumont brought his az. cuser to san Francisco. Here accord ing to the testimony of the girl, he took her to a cottage and drugged her. Having her powerless to resist his desires he proceeded to assault her. When she came to her senses and realized her predicament instead of throwing herself on the mercy Of the beast who had ruined her, she reported the case to the local au- thorities. and they took the Alaskan into custody
 Beaumont admits the story of his relations with little Elizabeth Arnold of Brooklyn, who answered the ad of August 17th. inserted by Beaumont but says that he told the truth in regards to his relations with the lit tie orphan. He did not do her any injury. and said that he intended to take her to his home in Fort Yukon to care for his little baby. The DO mont would have let the little Brook lyn girl go had she asked him. and accordingly they did not arrest the Fort Iukoner. Then it was he got into communication with Charlotte O'Hara. who had likewise answered his ad in the New York daily, told her to meet him in Baltimore. and using the ticket across the continent which he had purchased for his other charge. whom the police had rescued from his clutches. brought her across the continent and. relying on his power to close her mouth in so far as his illicit relations with her were concerned. betrayed her without the slightest feeling of remorse.
 THE POWER LOST.
 But the power that old Beaumont had used so successfully with other women failed. His latest victim would not listen to his threats or his pleadings. He held her prison CT in the cottage he had rented for his vile purpose. Then he plead ed. he threatened, he tried to reason With her, he pointed out to her that she was now an outcast from society, he promised her all sorts of presents and luXuries, he tried every power that he could muster. Grovelling at her feet, he begged her to keep her mouth shut. He saw that the power with which he had held women after he had done them all manner of harm and injury was on the wane. He could picture the iron bars of a cell keeping him away from the chances to satisfy his brutal lust, and he turned like a whipped cur and cried for mercy. But as he had shown no mercy. as he had committed dastardlv crime against her. as he had made her an Outcast from society, Charlotte OHara would show none. To the authorities she went and as a re- suit of her story Beaumont will face mighty serious charge when he comes up for trial.

 BUTCHER RECOvERs JEWELS

JOLIET. Three weeks ago a small box of jewelry was stolen from the home of Miss Josephine Schultz. It has been found in the stomach of a COW butchered in the Adler slaughter house.
 The COW was turned into the slaughter house from a farm situat- ed eight miles from Joliet. No clue can be found to trace the journey of the jewelry from the Schultz home to the farm.
 The articles taken from the stom- ach of the animal were two brooches. one diamond ring, a bracelet and a womans gold watch. They were put through a cleansing process by a jeweler and returned to the owner.

NEW YORK. The American Olympic heroes were on Broadway recently The bronZed faces of the athletes were readily recognized as groups of them appeared among the throngs and their presence was ire quently applauded.
 The athletes assembled here, al most in the full number which made up the American team, are guests of government, state and city over the weekend The prelude to their entertainment was a theater party which the athletes attended in a body. The big events of the re- ception will be the parade and a gala dinner. The balance of their stay will be devoted to sightseeing.

STORY OF FAMOUS
 PORCUP|NE MYSTERY

miner to almost get dizzy whenever he thought of it. It was reasonable of the pretty yellow stuff safely slowed away in the bed of that Are tic river
 Johnson estimated that 25O pounds was as big a cargo as he could his companions that he was going Outside, and secretly getting his nuggets loaded on his sled. he took the back track. reaching the camp on the Porcupine without accident He then made his way to the Yukon, up the ice and the pass to Skagway In another week he was at his home in Chicago with the nuggets safely placed in safe deposit vault Sample nuggets he had assayed prov ed to be almost pure, 9S.3 per cent.
 Johnson now began to return to the far North for another load. He was a machinist by trade. and had a friend working in foundry there. To this friend he unfolded his story, showed him the gold, and explained to him the charts and notes he had made of the route to the rich Alaskan creek. Johnson forbade his friend to let others in to the secret, and the two men pre- pared for their journey.
 Then Johnson was taken sick the mysterious sickness which so often overtakes denizens of the Far North when they return to the mild CT climate of civilized lands. In the North the human machinery is nightly stimulated by the extreme cold, and when that stimulus is re. moved there is apt to be collopse. AS Johnson sank toward the grave he gave his friend full instructions how to reach the river of gold, stip- ulating that his wife should have third of all the findings. Then John- son was gathered to his fathers.
 Here nice ethical problem pre- sents itself. If Johnson had been unselfish, and loyal to his three com. panions when he made the original discovery, might he not have lived long and happily? His sudden change from the dry, intense cold of the Far North to the enervating climate of Chicago must have hastened his end. Had he taken his companions into his confidence and shared with them Gas. according to miners eti- quette, he was bound to dol the splendid loot of the nameless Alaskan river, how difficulty it might have worked out. For in that case he would have remained there through the winter and might have thus es- capped his untimely end
 Well, the friend (whom, for ease oi iueitlilCdtlOIl, we VIII give the unfamiliar name of Brown) shared the news with a friend of his in the machine shop, and together they hastened to Seattle and took pass age to Skagway on the Cottage City. But in the meantime some weeks had elapsed and when they reached the camp on the Porcupine they ffound the snow so soft that travel over it was almost impossible They stopped some time on the Porcupine, when party of three prospectors who had gone into the Northwest territories by the back door route" | via Edmonton, came down the river. Seeing the complete equipment of Brown and companion surmised that they were stampeding somewhere or other, and announced that they pro- ] posed to accompany them

The following clipping from re- cent number of the Dawson News is mos. interesting at this time. as il brings to mind the trip undertak- en by the HuddleSton Brothers and Surveyor Lewis. who left here some months ago for the Porcupine river to search for the fabled mine
 The report brought by recent ar rivals from the Porcupine river of number of prospectors from Fair banks going up that stream to look for the Lost Cabin mines renews in terest in the tabled properties Some time ago Allison French wrote a fascinating story on the mines, in which he said:
 In the winter of 1S99-190O four men camped on the upper Porcupne river, about 40O miles above Ram part. It was their purpose to pros pect the next season on the head waters of certain tributaries of the Mackenzie which rise in a low range of mountains northwesterly from the site of the winter camp.
 In February there came a spell of weather quite exceptional in that part of Alaska - a decided thaw The snow packed down hard. then. when winter resumed its sway over the country, the half melted snow froZe into a glare of ice that made it possible to travel by dog team rapidly and with ease. The four men loaded their dog teams with an by the compass, they set off toward the north pole over the trackless wastes.
 They crossed the low mountain range and found level country across which they made rapid prog ress, and in four or five days they reached creek which puts into the Mackenzie. They cut holes in the ice and banned from the bottom of the creek. The pay was fair and they devoted several days to the work
 Presently one of the four whom for the purpose of this narrative, we shall call Johnson, grew dissatisfied with the rather scanty pay and left his companions for prospecting trip down the stream. He had gone bu. few miles when he was star tied to find in a piece of anchor ice" handful of gravel and a good sized nugget of gold.
 Johnson cut a hole in the ice in the center of the stream. There was several feet of water, flowing swiftly, but he could plainly see the gravel on the bottom. And mingled with the gravel he saw something that almost took away his breath
 The bottom was thickly sown with large nuggets.
 How to get the gold puzzled him for time. Then he cut some sap lings Ga species of willow) which grew on the bank, and made kind of rude tool with which he was able to secure the nuggets, one by one.
 He worked with feverish energy as long as he could see, then joined his companions up stream. But first he cached the gold before going into camp. Johnson was a selfish man and said nothing to his three com panions about his startling discov. cry.
 For several days he toiled alone, fishing up nuggets, until he had 25O pounds weight accumulated He could only conjecture how great must be the deposit of gold in smaller particles, but he was enough of a

Nh 'll lLf.N, tAlR BANKS, SEPT EN In few days the party of five took up the march. Guided by the | compass notes made by Johnson. the explorers crossed the low range Of mountains which constituted the watershed between the Yukon and the Mackenzie. Then. the spring being far advanced. they were con fronted. much to their surprise, by vast marshy region which they found it was impossible to cross. This required detour of eighty miles. confused their reckoning of distances and thus greatly lengthen- ed their journey. When at last they arrived in the vicinity of the creek they found the ice broken up and raging torrent made fishing for nuggets impracticable. As their supplies were running low. there was nothing to do but to take the back track for the Porcupine.
 The failure of the expedition was due to miscalculation of the diff faculties of travel in the Arctic wastes. The original notes of John son. of course. gave no inkling of the existence of the marshy tract which necessitated the S0-mile de- tour; for in midwinter. when Johnson crossed it. it was a vast snow-covered plain conveniently covered with ice Upon reaching the Yukon. how ever, all of the party, except Brown, had had enough of Arctic eXplora- tion, and decided to return to the to seek another partner for a second attempt
 An agent of the Post-Intelligencer happened to be on the Yukon at that time, constructing shelter huts for the newspaper carriers up the river 10 Dawson. These huts were built 9 miles apart. To this agent Brown unfolded the story of the golden Arctic river The two men then travelled up to Dawson. intend in to equip for trip to the new FL dorado. The newspaper man was thoroughly convinced of the bona fide nature of the discovery. but as he had already been some time in the Far North. he decided not to make the venture. Brown then interest ed an English mining expert who possessed two of the best dog teams in Alaska. and these two presuma- | bly went after the nuggets.
 Did they find them? Our story halts here. Our informant was un- able to trace the subsequent move ments of Brown and the English man; but there was a rumor of a great quantity of gold being present ed at the San Francisco assay office in which nuggets predominated. and the color differed somewhat from the gold of Nome and the Klondike
 Who knows? Perhaps those men, in that savage wilderness, brought up from the bed of that nameless Arctic river lot of nuggets so eor- geous as to excel a kings ransom. Perhaps. even when in the grasp Of the formidable dangers of that polar desert, the Genii of good luck heap ed upon them immeasurable rewards. Or, who knows? They may have been lured far beyond the bounds of safety, seeing ever beyond them the goddess hope beckoning in the misty distance, and so-perished. Certain it is, gold abundant, fabulous hoards of gold, pave the bottom of that lone ly Arctic river And the river lacks even name.

THE BEASTS SIDE.

Throughout the whole unsavory case the faithful wife and little child of the old reprobate have been in Fort Yukon. Not once has the coward made the plea that silence would spare his lawful companion immunity from another black stain Not once did he plead with his latest victim for the sake of his child, whose doubtful history must now be exposed to critical and quick judging world. It was only of him self he thought. It is more than likely that the authorities will think of those whom he has wronged and put the animal into a cage for about ten years

GOT A DIVORCE
WANTS NO ALIMONY

ANACONDA, Aug. 1.-Two rather
unusual women are Annie e. Wolff
and Harriet E. Flaherty, the former
the wife of Christian B. Wolff, a Bit
ter Root rancher, and the other the
wife of Charles D. Flaherty, a re-
puted mining engineer Both women
were granted divorces by Judge DON
Ian and each was offered alimony, but
fatty and emphatically declined it.
Judge Donlan tried to talk the women
into accepting an order for alimony,
but they simply wouldn't have it.
Mrs. Wolff testified that she was
married to Wolff in Davenport, Iowa,
January IA, 1883 and that July last
year he deserted her and their two
children. She said that for six months
he had been going with another wom-
an and was going to marry her. Judge
Donlan suggested that Mrs. Wolff
could prevent him from marrying

again by refusing to divorce him, but
she said he could marry the other
woman If he wanted to. The VOLTS
sold their Bitter Root ranch for $10,-
900, subject to a $4,000 mortgage, and
Mrs. Wolff got one-thfrd of the mon
ey and some property in Butte, while
Wolff added $4,000 more for the two
children. Judge Donlan tried to per-
suade Mrs. Wolff to take $50 a month
for the support of the children, but
she said they did not need the money,
as both are working.
Mrs. Flaherty was Harriet E. Cor
nelius when she married Flaherty In
Butte in June, 1910. She had been
teaching school and soon after their
marriage her husband wanted her to
go to teaching again. She baked at
it, but finally had to-, as he would not
support her, and she has been work.

expense and Judge Donlan wanted
her to take an order for alimony, but
she refused it, saying she could live
on $25 month and was earning $50.
