LOST COUPLE NEAR DEATH
Man and Wife Found In the Noun

Almost Starved.

Prince Rupert, B. C-Lost IN the
mountains, Peter Stafford and his wife
were found recently in the last stage
Of starvation by two constables on the
Kayer river, 80 miles from Skeena
Mills. The couple had not eaten real
food for 20 days, the only thing that
kept them alive being soup made Dy
boiling strips of old beaver skin. Star
ford's condition was pitiful, as he had
been suffering from tuberculosis Tor
some months. How he was able to
survive the terrific experience Is a
mystery to physicians.
Stafford and his wife were discov-
cred in a small tent pitched under a
big tree. The man, too weak to move,
was placed in a canoe and the woman
was assisted along the shore until a
point % miles from the railway was
reached. Here they were left with
friends with enough food to last SIX
weeks and store of medicine was
sent in.
