Grafton, Dak., July 20.—Crops in the Canadian Northwest and along the line are in bad shape. Farmers are almost destitute and in some in- stances are reported to subsisting on field mice gophers. In the Canadian Northwest, prop- er, the crops are a total failure. A great many settlers are leaying their land to drive their cattle to timbered country in Dakota.

His wife proved to have quite a ro- mantic history, and his marriage to be a very interesting romance. “My name,” said he, “is James Steed.

When I arrived at Forty-Mile three years ago and staked my claim I heard wonderful stories about Lawrence river, but no camps had been established there and the bars above the mouth had not been pros- pected. I determined to go and see for myself. The journey had to be made in a canoe, and I gave out word that I desired to employ a native to pole the boat and take care of my camping outtit. I confess that I was surprised the next day when a stalwart native led a woman into my hut and offered her as the servant I desired. I consulted with other miners and from them learned that the native females were the only ones that could be trusted, as they were diligent, strong, faithful and honest, while the males were exactly the reverse, and liable to murder their sleeping employer if there is the least chance to get away with the body. I learned that the woman was the wife of the man who brought her to me. The woman seemed anx- ious to be employed, and I concluded a bargain with her husband. The next morning she appeared at my claim with a small bundle of clothing in hand. Shesetabout and had my boat fitted up and ready for the trip by noon, and we pulled out soon afterward. She poled the boat swiftly, while I sat on the stern mus- ing over the degraded condition of the Alaska females. When the time came for stopping she drew the boat to the shore, made it fast, and drew a canvass over the part design- edas the sleeping apartment. She could not understand a word that I said, but by signs Iinstructed her to prepare supper. When I sat down to eat I invited her to joim me. She seemed surprised and blushed like a girl, but accepted my invitation. I was a little surprised when I found that my invitation meant to her that I snould treat her as a wife and not a servant, and that was the cause of her confusion. I found her assistance invaluable. She taught me how to wash a pan of gold, and her native geological knowl- edge enabled her to tell the gold value of any district we struck at a glance. She learned a few words of Eng- lish and we got on together amazing- ly well. The day before we return- ed home I noticed that she was downhearted about something and I inquired the cause. Her eyes were full of tears asshe turned her hon- est-looking face toward me and said; “I don’t want to go back to my hus- band again. He will beat me. He don’t treat me like you do.” She fi- ‘nally told me that her husband would sell her forever for $50 and | proposed ifI would buy her she would work the gold out of my claim after working hours. her proposition. ed up and from that hour to this she has been the happiest woman in Alaska. big spree and he readily sold the woman for $20 anda pair of boots.

The fight- er then invited all hands to drink his health in bumpers of cham- pagne. Stakeholder Cridge then said the $20,000 in cash was not all he had to dispose of. He then produced the Police Gazette championship belt. According to the stipulations of Mr. Richard K. Fox, the donor of the belt, as Mr. Cridge understood them, a guarantee must be given for its safety before he would sur- der it. Sullivan insisted that the belt with the money, and demanded it on the spot. Matters were smooth- ed over by Wakely giving the re- qnisite guarantee, aud then, with the money and belt in is posession, Sullivan and party celebrated the event. The first place visited was Mid- dleton’s saloon on Broadway, where Sullivan broke his first $500-bill and craked many abottle of champagne. Every time a champagne cork pop- ed he called for seltzer and lemon. From Middleton's the sports went to Jim Wakley’s resort, where more was opened.

He then will attached which will read: This is the Remains of the : DOG COLLAR : : Won by John L, Sullivan in his : Fight with Jake Kilrain, Richbarg, Miss. Jaly & 1889. Sullivan, flushed with his recent victory, is anxious for fresh laurels in the pugilistic world.

The $20,000 stake money is not all Sullivan’s. Half of it goes to the big fellow. The balance will be di- vided among his backers as follows: Half tothe New York Illustrated News, one quarter to Jim Wakely, and one quarter to Chas. Johnston. tis said that in this ratio the backers will present Wm. Muldoon €2,000. Sullivan also intends to give his trainer two of those $506 bills.
