Civeulation of a Silly Story Relating to His Illness. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 2.—Hon. James S. Clarkson resented last night an insinuation of the McKinley men that his recent sickness is the sort of illness which comes from disappointment, and that he is really sick of his job of trying to defeat the nomination of the Ohio major at St. Louis. Mr. Clarkson, who is at the Fifth ‘Avenue Hotel, explained that he had been physically prostrated by an old malady, but has sufficiently recovered to be able to cet about and will be on deck at St. Louis to fight for the momination of Senator Allison. He said that many wonlt! vote againsi McKinley because of his silence on the money issue. Silver Men Snowed Under. ST.

CHICAGO, IuL., June 2.—The Demo- cratic National sub-committee concluded the business of its present session to-dav and adjourned to meet at the Palmer House June 13. All the members returned to their homes to-night. The local committee is still short $14,000 of the guaranteed subscriptions, $26,000 of the promised $40,000 only having been paid to the National Committee. There is no fear, however, that the money will | not be forthcoming from the guarantors | if not from the subscribers, and the local | committee was not pressed to make good «f the financial contract. There will be 15,000 seats in the part of the Coliseum which is to be used for the convention. The speakers’ platform, with the accompanying seats for the press, will be on the east side of the hall midway. On each side and in front will radiate in amphitheater form with a gradual rise the thousands of seats for delegates and spectators extending to a line level with the galleries. OWN THE BIG ANACONDA. The Celebrated Montana Copper Mine in the Hands of an English Syndicate. BUTTE, Moxt., June 2.—The statement | {is finally made to-day on apparently Te- liable authority that the entire property of | the big Anaconda Mining Company has | passed into the possession of the English | syndicate represented by Hamilton Smith. | Details of tue gigantic deal are lacking, as | sides refuse to talk. It is known, | however, that the negotiations which have been pending some time have practically | been closed and that the only member of | the old company who will retain any inter- | est is Marcus Daly, the general manager. | fhe syndicate refused to purchase the | property until Mr. Daly consented to re- | tain an interest and remain as manager of | the company, which he was reluctant to do, as he had fully expected to retire from \ active business life. The syndicate, it is said, has acquired all of the Haggin and Hearst interests 1n the company. The con- sideration is unknown, but it is said to be on a-basis of $45,000,000. WAR 0N THE RHILROADS Not | Commercial Travelers Do Like the Way They Are Treated. Will Secure Legislation in States to Obtain a General Rate of Two Cents a Mile. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp., June 2.—The refusal of the railroads to give low rates diminished the attendance at the first day’s meeting of the Travelers’ Protective Association, and six or seven hundred who are here are unanimous in favor of organ- ized war on the railroads by getting legis- lation in the States for a general rate of 2 cents a mile. . Mayor Rosg and Governor Mathews de- livered the official addresses of welcome, and ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson spoke for the general public. National President Lees’ report showed a net gain of 541 members in the year, making the total 10,86l. During the year three $5000 policies for accidental death were paid and $42,762 27 for accidental in- juries. There is a bank balance of $23,094. There are to be no material changes in the constitution. Colonel Lee is-to be re- elected president by acclamation, and Sec- retary-Treasurer Le Beaume will be re- | elected in the same manner. —_———— ALONZO WALLING ON TRIAL Some Very Binding Testimony to Connect Him With the Murder of Pear! Bryan. CINCINNATI, Onio, June 2.—The trial of Alonzo Walling for the murder of Pearl Bryan was resumed this morning. Drug- gist Foertmyer of Bellevue, Ky., identified Walling as being the man who visited his drugstore in company with a young lady during the last week of January. The other witnesses were Allen John- son, a colored porter at Wallingford’s sa- loon, where Pearl Bryan, Jackson and Walling met on the fateful Friday night and where the girl drank the glass of sar- saparilla which was supposed to contain cocaine; Wallingford. the saloon-keeper; Chester Maullen, a livery-stable keeper; Mrs. Weeks, the spirit medium, ana sev- eral others. The testimony of all these went to show Walling’s companionsaip with Jackson prior to and on the night of the murder. e Six Persons Drowned. NORFOLK, Va., June 2.—News has just reached this city of a bad Decoration day accident, which resulted in the drowning of six persons in Hampton Roads on Sat- urday. The sloop Irene left Tanners Creek, near this citv, in the afternooa with eight colored persons aboard, bound to Ha mp- ton to participate in the memorial exer- cises. At 7:45 P. M. she started on the return trip. When in Hampton Roads she was struck by a blast of wind and a heavy sea at the same time and capsized. Those aboard clung to the boat,but the sea was so heavy that she sank, and only two of the party were saved e Graduates at Annapolis, ANNAPOLIS, Mp., June 2.—The second day of graduation week at the Naval Acad- emy opened with propitious weather. Most of the examining board arrived late last night. It organized by the election of Congressman Robinson of Pennsylva- nia as president, J. C.

HOMES TO BE REBUILT. Noble Response to Assist the Suf- ferers From the Destructive Windstorms. THERE IS YET DESTITUTION. Frequent Showers and Falling Tem- perature Increase the Misery of the Unfortunates. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 2.—The lower house of the municipal assembly to-day passed the bill appropriating $100,000 for the relief of the tornado sufferers. The bill provides for 8 commission of five, with the Mayor as chairman. The objection to the bill on the grounds that it was illegal because it did not provide that those given relief should render some service in re- turn was overcome by City Counselor Marshall, who inserted an amendment to the effect that those receiving aid should render such return as was within their capabilities. H. N. King, president of the Chicago relief committee, arrived here this morn- ing. He conferred with the heads of the various relief associations here in order to learn what was the greatest need and what was the best way to apply aid. Mayor Walbridge has not refused to ac- cept money from gutside cities and has turned over $15,000 thus secured to the re- lief committee. The Mayor, however, be- lieves St. Louisshould be equal to the task t caring for the afflicted and is opposed to soliciting aid from outside channels. The St. Louis Fair Association turned into the fund the net profits of yesterday’s racing, about,$1500. The general fund foots up to-night $129,000. Of this a large part has already been disbursed. James Campbeil, Dan Catlin, W. J. Lemp, Charles Parsons and other capital- | ists to-day took initial steps to raise $250,- | 000 to lend to tornado sufferers at low rates | of interest to rebuild their homes. No in- | terest will be charged for twelve months. | At the Noonaay Club $35,000 was raised to- | day for this purpose. ‘ Ten district assessors and fifteen clerks | left the office of the board of assessors to | make an official estimate of the losses | caused by the storm. All indications go | to show that William Hartigan, a wealtny iron-miner of Birmingham, Ala., is | beneath the debris of some wrecked build- | ings. | The sun shone but ten minutes to-day and frequently recurring showers and fall- |ing temperature kept up the misery | among the unfortunates. At all the relief | stations long lines of men and women stood waiting their turn to receive the | daily allotment of food. As fast as quar- | ters can be had the homeless are housed | and work obtained for those able to do it. There was considerable excitement in East St. Louis to-day. The founty Su- pervisors, in response to an appeal from the City Council, arrived to take action to- | ward giving assistance to the sufferers, It was whispered about that relief could not | be given owing to a legal technicality, and excited citizens crowded around the new library building. One of the Commissioners moved to de- fer action until next Saturday, when the lezal point of giving an appropriation could have been considered. There was considerable wrangling, and prominent citizens delivered touching orations. Fi- nelly the Commissioners voted an appro- | priation of $25,000 to relieve the immedi- | ate suffering. % Destitution in East St. Louis is hourly increasing. People who at first refused | assistance have found their own resources | inadequate. Prices of clothing, furniture and eatables are double what they were | before the storm. The relief committee is straining every resource to get supplies and are doing noble work. Two ladies made a tour of the ruined territory to-day and report that there are seventy families absolutely | homeless and destitute. One hundred families who found homes in freightcars were turned out in the rain to-dey, and a committee of islanders made appeal to Mayor Bader for tents. He tele- graphed the Governor for 100 tents. Those able to move made their way to Riverside, whnere seventy tents are standing. They were compelled to drive back many of the newcomers to prevent a panic. The tight ‘for the necessities of life isa desperate one. The relief committee is having a hard time controlling the poor and making equal distribution. At pres- ent they are expending about $1000 daily for food, ciothing and cots. They need $500 more a day, but t\e capital is limited. FORGER HICKS CAPTURED, Wanted for His Crimes in Several Big Cities. TUSCOLA, ILL., June 2.—Sheriff Bagley made an important arrest yesterday, cap- turing John R. Hicks of Asheville, N. C., who is wanted in that city for forgeries to the extent of $2500. The Chief of Police of that city has traced him to Memphis, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Phila- delphia, and finally to this city. It is claimed that he is wanted in each of the above cities,where he has done some very smooth work and secured several thousand dollars. Hicks expressed no surprise over his arrest, and states that he has been expecting it at nqi time. He is the son of a prominent family of Asheville. R Suicide of a Speculator. CHICAGO, ILL., June 2.—A. L. Hendoar- son, who was at one ume a director in the Chicago Board of Trade and one of the heaviest speculators in the West in seeds and grains, committed suicide in this city this afternoon. He first entered in busi- ness in Chicago in 1869. He failed in 1893 and it 1s said that he has been despondent ever since. S Death of Miss Delafleld, NEW YORK, N. Y., June 2.—Miss Busan Parish Delatield disd here yester- | day. Miss Delalield was the eldest daugh- ter of the late Major-General Richard Dela- field, chief of engineers, U. 8. A., and Har- riet Baldwin Covington of San Francisco: Miss Delafield was a communicant of Epiphany Parisb, in Washington, and was a member of the Army and Navy Auxil- iary. She was a niece of the late Major Joseph Delatield ana the late Dr. Edward Delaficld. She was a cousin of Sidney Law Johnson, a prominent lawyer of San Fran- cisco. pEEEET A Death of Judge Stedrns. DULUTH, Mixx., June £—A telegram from San Diezo, Cal., announces the death of Judge Ozora P. Stearns of this city. Judge Stearns moved to Caiifdrnia six months ago, hoping the change would benefit his heaith. In 1862 he raised a company for the Ninth Minnesoia Volun- teers, and in 1863 he was commissioned colonel of the Thirty-ninth United States colored troops. In 1871 he was elected to the United States Senate fnom Minnesota, and in 1874 he was appointed Judge of the Eleventh Judicial District, which ofiice he held four terms. e dii e Wrecked by Cattle. BUTTE, MoxT., June 2—An eastbound Northern Pacific passenger traiu this morning ran intoa band of cattle near Greycliffe and was wrecked.

Birch, was ended this morning, the Judze returning a ver- dict that the defendant is sane. SAFE N SEATTLE HARBOR Unexpected Home Coming of the Steamer Utopia From Alaska. Had Been Reported Wrecked and Fast Going to Pieces in Turn- again Arm. SEATTLE, Wasn., June 2.—After an absence of about two months, having sailed from Seattle on April 4, with 121 passengers for Resurrection Creek, Cooks Inlet, the steamer Utopia arrived in port this afternoon. It ‘was in charge of Cap- tain John O'Brien, who has been almost at death's door from the effects of an operation since the arrival of the vessel at Cosl Point, on April 14. On account of an ice jam in Turnagain Arm the Utopia had to remain at Coal Point until April 28. On the following day it succeeded in landing its passengers at their destination—Resurrection Creek. It returned to Coal Point and carried 167 of | the Lakme’s passengers to Six-mile. Reports sent out by the steamer Bertha and Danube, to the effect that the Utopia was driven in a gale on to the beach in Turnagain Arm and left in such position that it was breaking to pieces, is character- ized by the steamer’s officers as maliciously false. They say that all vessels have to | go upon the sands in order to effect s landing. : The new pilot-boat W. J. Bryant, while in the sand, so the Utopia’s officers say, | settled upon a rock and tore off the hoot of | its keel. It was so strained that with high tide the vessel filled and sank. At low tide holes were bored and the water emptied, after which the Brrant was corked and floated again, The Bryant sailed from Turnagai? Arw, intending to return to its home port a day in advance of the Utopia, which got away on May 14. Some anxiety is felt for its safety, thoug not by her principal owner, Captain W. J. Bryant, who is inclined to discredit the report that the vessel had lost any portion of its keel. The Utopia reports that there are about 1000 . miners operating on Six-mile and Resurrection creeks, ana probably as many more on the other tributaries of Turnagain Arm, which is now free from ice. The season opened about the middle of May, but prior to that time there was much misery and sufferinc. BAKER CITY CLOUDBUAST. Buildings at the Red Boy Mine Are Carried From Their Foundations. Miraculous Escape of the Occupants From Death in a Raging Torrent BAKER CITY, Or., June 2—A cloud burst over the Red Boy mining camp yes- terday afternoon, completely wrecking the miners’ boarding - house. The inmates, consisting of William Brown and wife and George Donaldson, bad a miraculous es- cape from instant death, as the flood moved the wrecked building to within a few feet of Clear Creek, which at that time was a raging torrent. The office building and mine headguarters were moved from their foundations, but otherwise es:aped damage. The mill and the miners’ cabins were not within the range of the flood. E. J. Godfrey, owner of the mine; Pro- fessor G. Bailey, George Barrett and Wil. liam Kehoe, the foreman. were asleep in the headquarters building when it was pushed from its foundation. They jumped up, and looking through the windows saw the whole mouth of Congo Gulch filled with a tangled mass of logs moving swiftly toward the boarding-iouse across the flat. The lower story of the house was crushed instantly. The house rose slowly into the air and then drifted to- ward the seetiing waters of Clear Creek, not more than twenty feet distant. At that moment they were miraculously delivered from death. Instead of being engulfed, the jam of logs broke; the tor- rent of waters rushed through the gap and the danger was passed. The boarding-house, which was an old log structure, willimmediately be replaced with a new frame building. About 400 feet of pipe line will have to be renewed, but otherwise the damage was very light, and the people are grateful for having es- caped with their lives: The buildings are situated on a little island in Clear Creek, about 400 feet in width. proe MARIN COUMNIY'S DEFAULTER. Deputy Tax Collector Louden Arvested and Imprisoned. SAN RAFAEL, OaL., June 2.—Robert Louden, the defaulting Deputy Tax Col- lector of this county, was arrested this morning and charged with embvezzling $3500 of the State and county funds. He was unable to give bonds. His prelimi- nary examination will be held next Thurs- day before Justice Gardner. He was well known here as a member of the Masons, United Workmen, Knights of Pythis and Foresters of America. His bondsmen, A. Scown, M. F. Cochrane and James W. Cochrane, have made good the defalcation. ————— Stramer Sunk at Avon. SEATTLE, Wash., June 2.—The Skagit River steamer Munroe ran into the Great Northern Railroad bridg: at Avon on Sat- urday night and was sunk in thirty feet of water. Passengers and crew narrowly escaped drowning. OREGON ELECTS TWO POPULISTS, Quinn and Vanderberg Lead the Candidates for Congress. LEGISLATURE IS SAFE. The Republicans Will Have a Heavy Majority on Joint Ballot. PENNOYER’S PLURALITY GROWS Chosen Mayor of Portland by a Hand- some Vote—The Senatorial Struggle. PORTLAND, Or., June 2.—Election re- turns from outside counties continue to come in slowly and scatteringly. The next Legislature will be Republican by a good majority. Chairman Hirsch of the Republican State Committee claims sixty members out’ of ninety on joint ballot, including twelve hold-over Senators. Of these thirty-one are known to be elected, and he concedes ten Populists elected, with one hold-over and two Democrats. There are thus fifty-six members known to have won and forty-four yet to be heard from. Of the latter thirteen are in Mult- nomah County, all of whom will be Re- publicans. The only contest in Portland is between the regular Republican nominees and the Mitcheil Republicans. The important question is whether or not Senator Mitch- ell will have enough for re-election. Should he carry Multnomah County his re-elec- tion is assured. Returns to-night from 32 precinets of Multnomah County out of 73 in the city give the regular Republican Legislative ticket 2292 and the Mitchell ticket 1539. It is probable that the Mitchell ticket will increase as the count proceeds, as precincts carrying the labor vote have not been counted. Latest returns of the vote on Supreme Judge in Multnomah County give Bean, Republican, 4135; Aston, Populist, 1710; | Burnett, Dem. crat, 1268, ' All parties con- cede Bean's election by a plurality rang- ing from 20,000 to 35,000. It now seems that Quinn (Ponp.)is elected to Congress in the Second District. In Portland Eilis (regular Republican) has 1779 votes in 32 precincts out of 73, North- up (Ind., R., sound money) 2706, Quinn (Pop.) 2108 and Bennett (D.) 402. Chairman Hirsch of tne Republican State Committee concedes the election of W. S. Vanderberg (Pop.) over Thomas H. Tongue (R.) by a plurality of 1740. Thus Oregon will bave one Populist Repre- sentative, and very likely two, in Con- gress. Asthe count proceeds the plurality of ex-Governor Pennoyer, Democratic-Popu- lList ana tax-payers candidate for Mayor, continues to swell. It is now 1930, with less than one-half the votes counted. At the Mitchell Republican headqnar- ters it was given out that an attempt would be made to steal ballot-boxes, and volunteers were called for to go out and guard the polls. Volunteers were instructed to be well armed for an attack. Somewhat of a seri- ous scrimmage occurred in the Third Ward when an evident attempt to steal one of the boxes was made. There was intense excitement when the culprit was detected. SILVER WINS AT STOCKTON. “Sound” Money Men Routed in Demo- cratic Primaries—VYield Without a Fight. STOCKTON, Car., June 2—The Demo- cratic primary elections were held in this city to-night, with the result that the silver men carried everything before them. In the ward meetings last night several representatives of the ‘‘goldbug” faction were placed upon the regular tickets, but only for personal reasons and with the knowledge that they would be harmless when it came to sending a. delegation to’ Sacramento pledged to send silver men to the National Convention. The ward meetings last night were very harmonious and the harmony characterized the prim- ary elections to-day. The County Convention will be held here next Satarday, when nineteen dele- gates to the State Gonvention will be se- lected and a new County Committee named. It is probable that Marion Devries, the present Assistant District Attorney, will be indorsed for Congress from this cistrict. He is willing to make the fight and will give Grove L. Johnson a harder race for the office than any other Democrat Who could be named in the Second District. There was not the tight at the primaries to-day that had been anticipated. For some time past it had been rumored that Mint Superintendent Daggett was at work in the interior with his men for the pur- pose of defeating the plans of the silver wing of the State Democracy. Chairman Gould of the State Central Committee was known to have a leaning toward the gold side of the house, and to head off anything like a concerted movement to send a dele- gation of gold representatives from this county to Sucramento, the silver men, who are strong here, took every precau- tion. They had ever_\'thir:iz their own way, for if Daggett’s men did any work here they were very quiet about it and it availed them nothinz. There was quite a delegation of Defmocrats from San Fran- cisco in this city on Sunday, but very few stayed over to take part in the ward meet- ingslast night orin the primariesto-night. In the Third Ward alone did any opposi- tion develop to the regular ticket named last night. Three of those placed upon the ticket last night were sidetracked for personal and other motives. Here the American Protective Association and its opponents did some secret fighting. E. E. Phillips, formerly Democratic Street Sup- erintendent and who ran at the last elec- tion on the American Protective Associa- tion ticket, was downed, receiving only eight out of sixty-five votes cast. C.O. Bohlen was another marked for the slaughter because he was said to be a member of the American Protective Asso- ciation, and he got only nine votes. John Killion, on the other hand, was defeated for the reason, it is claimed, that he isan Irish Catholic. Tbomas Poole, W, 8. Fowler and M. L, Sims took the places of this trio. In the other wards matters went on yery smoothiy, and in every instance the men slated last night on the ticket were elected. In the First Ward sixty-six votes were cast, and there were but four scratches, no names being substitated for those scratched, In the Second Ward but thirty-nine votes were cast and all went for the regular ticket. In the Fourth forty-six straight votes were cast, all going for the ticket selected last night. This insures & silver convention here next Saturday, There seemas little doubt but that the delegation to Sacramento on the16th will go pleaged to do all they can for silver. Frank Gould will have a seat in Satur- day’s convention as a delegate from the Second Ward, as will also Frank D. Nicol, W. M. Gibson, Marion Devries, J. Walter Smith and John D. Gall, all prominent in the councils of the local Democracy. T e LOS ANGELES PRIMARIES. Anti-Railroad Democrats Claim a Sweep- ing Fictory. LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 2.—Had a | Kanaka from the Hawaiian lava-beds, un- acquainted with the ways of American ward politicians, seen the pulling, hauling and general hustling about the Demo- cratic primaries in this city to-night, he would bave imagined the fate of the Na- tion depended upon the action of the Los Angeles County Democracy. Political slang has yclept the factions “long hairs,” or ‘‘purity crowd,” and ‘‘short hairs” or ‘“trinity’’—the Buckley-Huntington- Liquor Dealers’ Protective Association ag- gregation. 1Two days, or possibly a week, must intervene before an accurate esti- mate can be made as to which faction won. Each accuses the other of all manner of skullduggery and jobs innumerable in put- ting up tickets. The primaries in the country were held this afternoon, and the “long hairs”’—the Stevens-Patton-Harris- anti-railroad people ciaim to have made a big winning and to be able to organize the county convention here on the 13th nst. There are about forty precinets in this city, and the railroad-Buckley crowd had the better of the fight 1n most of the wards. Marsh, of this faction, has been | industrious of late, circulating the report that the ‘‘short hairs”’ didn’t care tow _the primaries went, but the scramble to-night | around the polling-places contradicted this. The country people had an easy time of it, for in most cases there was but one ticket mn the field. The county will have thirty-nine dele- gates in the State convention—the largest delegation of any county outside of San | Francisco. The trouble about figuring out | odds in favor of either faction lies in the | fact that the real position of many country delegates is unknown to the leaders in this city. The Seventh and Eighth Wards of the city are conceded to the railroad people, while the First and Ninth are claimed for the purity folks under the banner of Gaffey and Stephens. The Second Ward will probably be annexed by | the “old guard,” but in all other wards bitter contests and sturdy struggles for the | mastery of control of the delegates to the | county convention have been waged, and the result is in doubt. A notable result of the primaries here to-night was the defeat of General C. F. A. Last of the State militia as a delegate, which puts him out of the way for the | chairmanship of the County Uonvention, for whicn he was booked by the Mitcnell- Marsh-Buckley faction. A serious per- | sonal encounter occurred between Major W. R. Burke of the State Central Commit- tee and Editor Creighton of the Herald, ! wherein Burke attempted to draw a pistol, but was prevented oy friends of the com- batants. J. Marion Brooks, lately ap- | pointed by Governor Budd a3 a Normal | Schoul trustee, was elected in the Fourth Ward, as was M. M. Ogden, Governor | Budd’s secretary durin= the campuign, in the Third Ward. In this ward the police were called out to prevent a railroad gravel gang from voting. The talk is now that the shorthairs will stand for ex-Governor Merrill of Pomona for chairman of the County Convention. At a late hour both sides claim a majority of the delegates. | g 9 Mendocino Democrats.

FOUND IN AN ASYLUM. Deserts His Family, Acquires a Fortune and Is Crazed by His Good Luck. RICHES FOR WIFE AND - SON. Strange Reunion Following the Con- flagration Which Laid Cripple Creek in Ashes. PORTLAND, Or., June 2.—About, three years ago Frank Sevenson, then [em- ployed in the Southern Pacific shops, left his home one morning to go to work, but he never reached his destination. Neither did he return to his home and family, near Sullivan’s Gulch, that night, and inquiry at the residence of the foreman under whom he labored elicited the information that Sevenson had not been seen all day. Search for him proved fruitless until three | weeks later, when a decomposed body was fished out of the water, which Mrs. Seven- son and her two children identified as that Over the grave which contains the corpse is a marble slab bear- ing Sevenson’s name. Whether he committed suicide or whether his death was accidental could not be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Mrs. Sevenson stated that her husband had often complained of his ina- bility to get ahead in the world, and at such times he would express a weariness of life, The widow was left penniless, but Henry Strandoff of the East Side, who had been a schoolmate of her husband in the old country, advanced sufficient funds to pay the expenses of a trip for her and her two children to Cheyenne, Wyo., where she had well-to-do reiatives. But all this is merely preliminary to the relation of & strange romance. Henry Strandoff on Saturday received a letter from Mrs. Sevenson, dated at Den- ver, Colo., startling him with the informa- tion that her husband was not dead, but was at present confined in the Coiorado Insane Asylum. She writes that her old- est son, now 20 years of age, went to Crip- ple Creek soon after the late fire to accept He had been there a few days only when the sup- posedly dead and buried Sevenson called on him on business. “T think even at the time he deserted us Sevenson must have been out of his mind, for he had always been very solici- tous about our welfare and comiort,” added Mrs. Sevenson. *‘He told Willie that after he had been prospecting about the vicinity of Cripple Creek for almost a month he struck a lead for which he was at once offered §5000. He “refused the offer, but.three weeks later his good luck made him insane and he was confined in an asylum for eighteen months, After his release he had great trouble in re- gaining his mining property, and when he had succeeded in that he addressed several letters to me in East Portland. As I was in Cheyenne, they were returned to him. “Two days after I was with them mv husband again became crazy, and now his condition is very critical. 1hayehim here in a private asylum, but the doctors say that he is an incurable and cannot survive long. I have satisfied myself that his roperty is worth nearer $200,000 than 75,000 and shall at once apply for an ap- pointment as guardian over his person and estate.’”’ The question that now naturally arises is: Who wasthe person buried three years ago as Sevenson ?
