Then cach man was al- lowed to identify and take away his own. 500 men were I camp Sheep p. All day Sunday the canyon was explored for lost tentsand other property. Many tents or parts of tents were found, but many others have nothing left but their bl ts to cover their heads, and still others noth atall. A large num- ber lost everything they had, and, after having packed th outfit practically the foouof the summit, must now return home. One man had §700 in an overcoat, which was wrapped up under his head as he slept. He lost overcoat and money. At least fifty other men report the loss of money ranging in sums from §100 to $500. Not a cent was left. The torrent left heaps, bars and bills of sand bebind, where it is -thought the money may be hidden, but it is too much labor and time to hunt for it. The total damage by the flood, including both lost provisions and money, is estimated at about $15,000, as near as it can be reached at this time. The result, after counting noses, was fifteen missing. As a matter of fact, it 1s really impossible to get at just how many Klondikers are missing. The population was at this time in particular a very float- | ing one. Gold hunters would come up | the canyon, vitch a tent fora few daysand | then pass on to the summit. The campers had neither time nor inclination to get | well ac inted, Names were not known, faces were often remembered. The num- ber missing may be more or less than fii- teen, and it will in all probability never be known. “Doc” Smith, caid to be a practicing physician, and wife, are among | | to the missing. Nobody could be found who knew where they were from, but it is sug- | posed they came from Seattle, The cavse of the flood was the brzaking e of a gigantic section of a glaciar of 2 and snow which for years overhung the canyon near the Chilcoot summit. | The whole r.ass crashed down the preci- p ce, pushed by a Niagara of water. For nearly three weeks it bas been raining or snowi An immense quantity of water has fallen, and snow has melted in vast volumes. The vprevailing weather has | been rain on the coast side of the moun- tains, rain ¢nd snow on their summits and | snow on the Yukon side of the range. It | is supposed that a lake or vast reservoir | accumulated behind or ander the glacier, i and that its pressure became so great that the ice and snow could not hold it. No- body climbed up to see how it happened, but this is the theory generally accepied | in accounting for the flood. Numerous lakes of snow water are aeposited at vari- ous elevations in the monntains. One of these might have suddenly overflowed or broken from its bed and wails of rock. The news first came here at 6 o'clock this morning on the litile steamer Derroit, | and four hours later additional particulars | were obtained from George Cutts of Juneau, who has been packing on tne trail. He said that a number of men who | were lying drunk or asleep around the | sioves in two tent saloons are undoubt- | edly among the missing. Har Horrmax. STORIES OF SURVIVORS. Men Who Returned cn the City of Seattle Tel! of the Horrors of the Avalanche. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasir, Sept. 25.— The steamsh:p City of Seattle arrived this evening at 5:30 o’clock from Skaguay and Dyea. From Skaguay she brought 210 yersons, 192 men and 18 women, who were unable to cross White Pass and who pre- ferred to return to civilization, as many | of them termed it, to risking death by ex- | posure at Skaguay.

Snover, who resignea the position of Inspector of Customs here eight weeks ago, was a returnin: passenger on the City of Seattle and corroborated Watson’s story. T. C.

C., Sept. 25.—A thrilling | story of hair-breadth escape srrom death in | | | by two prospectors who left the steamer City of Seattle at Victoria this morning. They are Sol Berhner of San Francisco | and George Marks of Los Angeles. Berliner had a tent near the river bank | in which he kep. a sort of store. There | was another tent close to his and a litule further down the story as follow : “It had been blowing very hard all| night and the stovepipe was blown away. ced that two logs that had laid in front of the tent the day before were gone. I called out to that the water must be rising. Marks looked up for only a few seconds, when bLe called out to me to run for my life. 1 sprang out of the door and in an | instant the waier was up to my shoul- gers. Fortunately I was avie to catch | hold of & bic stump that stood néar the tentdoor. The tents and everything in them were swept out of sight in a second. “The people in the tents further up the mountain side rushed to see what the matter was, and when they saw the posi- tion Marks and I were in, they shouted to us to hold on and they would help us. It was pretty hard work, for the water wa« | frightfully cold. They tore the ropes off | their tents and threw me a line. When I caught the rope they dragged me to the shore. i was in horrible shape, and haa lost from $1200 to $1400 worth of goods and $400 in money, which was every- thing I had in the world. “Ican’t tell you what the avalanche looked like. There was a great flood of water, carrying tents, trees, stumps, logs, ice, rocks and merchandise. It was an awful sight. IthoughtIsawa man and woman go down on one of the tents, and there was a report that Dr. Smith and bis wife were drowned; but I believe they were reported safe. Only two persons were river.

SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 25.—Two warrants have been issued for the arrest of M. H. Merrill, who occupies the posi- grounds. The complaints allege that battery has been commitied on the persons of . E. Armsirong and Frank E. Featherson. The young men claim that while passing through the park last night they were ac- costed by Merrill, who ordered them off the driveway, and when they demurred he drew his pisto), covered them and then beat them over the head with his cane. There were several witnesses to the as- sault, and all combine in declaring that it was entirely unprovoked. On Thursday night Carl Rackliffe, the 15-year-old son of the State Treasurer, and a companion were riding through the psrk on their wheels, and stopped to rest on ihe steps of the Capitol. While there they were uccosted by Merrill, who osdered them away. ‘When the lads refused to go he drew | his pistol, presented it at them, and then he beat the little lad over the back ard shoulders until he forced him off the grounds. The boy’s faiker, State Treas- urer Rackliffe, is one of the three Capitol Commissioners. Rackliffe denounces the assault upon his son as an owrage. He did not want to take action, however, until the Capitol Commissioners held a meeting. -— SIGNED UNDER PROTEST, Statement of Two Jurors Regarding a Verdiot in the Webster Cave. SPOKANE, Wasu, 8ept. 25.—The Web- ster murder trial ended in a sensational denouement io-night. The jury after having been out for more than thirty hours came in with a verdict of murder in the first degree and was dis- charged, but two of the jurors, R. J. Fra* sier and C. Thom! mmediately delivered a signed statement to the attorneys their convicticns, and that they only yielded after physical and mental exhaus- tion from the long strain in the jury-room. Itis thoucht that this will undoubtedly lead to a new trial. el e COLONISTS REACH SALINAS. Forty German Families Arrive to Take Up Land in the Sugar- Beet District. SALINAS, Car., Sept. ? guard of a big German colony arrived this evening. Forty colonists representing families numbering 200 people, mostly from Chicago ana the East, are here to settie upon land bonded by the German Catholic Colonization Society. They were ccompanied by August Erz, president; . L. Kast, vice-president, and N. H. Lang, secretary of that society Four trac's of land each composed of from 900 to 7500 acres mnear town have been bonded. These will be apportioned and sold in lots of fifty acres to each representative of a family. The colonists wh» arrived to-day will settle upon the Spence ranch about seven miles south of this city. They possess from §$1250 to $500 each and itis their purpose to at once bagin the erection of houses and get their land into shape for the cultivation to beets. Sixty more families are expected soon. Upon their arrival a churck and school- house will be built. YREKA STAGE ROBBED. Lone Highwayman Compels the Driver to Hand Gver the Express Box. YREKA, Cav, Sept. 25.—A stage rob- bery—the second in the same place within the, last six months—was committed nine miles from here at 5 o’clock this evening. A lone highwayman stepped from be- hina a rock and demanded the express- box, which was mnded out and the stage proceeded on its way. The robber was effectually disguised, even his feet being muffled in socks. About ten minutes later the stage met T. J. Knowlton and Rey. Mr. George, who brought the news to Yreka and notified the officers. It Is not known how much the robber got. There were four passengers on the stage, but none of them were molested. One was a woman and the other Father Quinn, priest of the local Catholic parish. The.stage was held up in exactly the same svot last April, and presumably by the same outlaw WA ENDS LIFE WITH LAUDANUM. Scion of a Wealihy German Family Commits Suicide at Fresno. FRESNO, Car., Sept. 25.—W. Smacken- berg was found dying on the courthouse park last night. He was taken to the County Jail, where he died from the effects of laudanum which he had taken with suicidal intent, On aleaflet ou a scrap- bock found in his pocket was written: “In case nf accident send word to H. Ludovie, Wiesbaden, Germany. Do not send word 10 my mother.” It had been learned that Smacikenberg’s parents are very wealthy peoyle in Germany. He, it seems, became addicted to drink and dis- graced the family, whereupoa they sent him to the United States. Smackenberg has been working in vineyards. He was about 30 years of age. e Trout for Santa Cruz Sireams, SANTA CRUZ, Carn, Sept. 25.—The Supervisors have appropriated $°00 (eward the construction of fish hatcheries at Boulder Creek.

Bruce, who is admitted by the United States Government officers to know more about Alaska than any other man that ever visited it, arrived in the city this afternoon irom a four months’ trading | trip to the Arctic. He bring news con- | firming the story of the loss of the schooner Navarch and fresh details as to how most of her crew and the men who tried to rescue them met death. Bruce said to TuE CALL correspendent to-night: “I made it a point to make careful in- quiry as to the loss of the Navarch and her men, and there is not one chance in a hundred that any of them have escaped. I met one man who had spent hisentirelife in the Arctic country. He told shat if the Navarch with her eight men found her way into a pecuiiar current she might | possibly strike the shore near the mouth of the Mackenzie River. There are several whalers there for the winter, and if the | Navarch got near the river she may escape; but there is hardiy a likelihood of her being saved. “Our schooner, the Louise J. Kenney, left Point Hope on Augusi 24. On that | day the schooner Bonanza arrived from | tbe far north and brought additional news concerning the loss of the Navarch. The Bonanza is the supply schoouer of the Liebes Company, the San Francisco fur- riers. Sue had aboard Gevernment Agent | Stevenson, who has been up there for about two years. He had with him two | little half-breea children of Tom Brewer. Brewer's native home was backin New | Jersey, but he had not been there for | many years. “While I was en route for the Arctic I heard a number ot stories to the effect | that Biewer had been killed.

Love in the Scale. ““How rauch does the baby weigh ’ is only another way of asking, ‘‘Is he healthy and strong?’’ When a baby is welcomed into the world with loving care and forethough! his chances of health anm strength are increased a hun. dred-fold. 3 A prospective mother cannot begin tos early to look after her own health and phys- jcal condition. This is sure to be reflected in the baby. Any weakness of nervous de- pression, or lack of vigor on the mother’s part should be overcome early during the expectant time by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which promotes the perfect health and strength of the organism specially concerned in motherhood. It makes the coming of baby absolutely safe and comparatively free from pain; ren. ders the mother strong and cheerful, and transmits healthy constitutional vigor te the child. No other medicine in the world has been such an unqualified blessing to mothers and their children. It is the one positive spe- cific for all weak and diseased conditions of the feminine organism. It is the only | medicine of its kind devised for this one purpose by a trained and educated special- ist in this particular field. Mrs. F. B.
